IS that nearly enought to crank a 4E mate? I'm just sayin this based off the fact that our cars normally use around 450 CCA.

Did it really happen?

Ahem .......

Any luck with the Tachometer mod?

I like the approach taken in terms of modification to the Paseo mate.

Spoiler angle can be adjusted from the cockpit?

Painted rocker cover & an engine wash & she'll look mint mate

Lookin good. I sooooooooo need that spoiler

How much boost u at bro?

The welder wasn't able to make it to tack up the exhaust manifold. Oil cooler was moved & is to b mounted horizontally (it was in the vertical position all along). It will now be in front of the radiator so it will now receive the draft from the radiator wen the fan is running. The thermostat housing was modified to with an inlet & an outlet ports to allow coolant to flow to the turbo. I had neglected to run water to the turbo all along as i just don't like the sight of the extra hoses in the engine bay, but i guess good sense prevailed & they're ran now. Also, this gave me the opportunity to install a thermostat as i forgot i didn't install one some time ago. A quality looking Ebay boost gauge ::) was installed. It goes up to 30 psi & has Peak & Warning features. New EV1 injector connectors were installed as the original Mitsubishi ones had all the clips broken so they had to be held with silicone. It worked but i never felt comfortable with it. Aluminum studs were installed onto the tappets cover for securing the coil packs. Steel studs were "welded" to the aluminum tappets cover sometime ago but one of them gave up the ghost some time after & the others would soon do the same. An aluminum bar was ordered online (less than $6 USD delivered to the local post office). It was then cut, threaded & welded in place of the older steel ones. by the way, approx. half of the rod is left over. New 27" x 7" x 2.5" intercooler has been installed. Also, intercooler piping has been revised for shorter routing, one piece on the hot as well as cold side as well as the hot side piping diameter was changed from 2.25" to 2". MAC solenoid to be installed tomorrow to facilitate ECU controlled boost as well as boost by gear. A boost leak test some months ago revealed a few leaks as well as two 12 mm bolt holes in the back of the compressor housing where the stock actuator was bolted onto. The bolt holes went straight thru into the compressor housing [blackeye]. Car was tuned, driven all along without knowing this. & here i was thinkin that the turbo just had an extra sweet spooling sound. [sneaky] Will update soon.

Sweet. Nice power figures. Specs or details?

Cheers bro. Plz do. I'm powered by a Mitsubishi ECU with a Mitsu cam sensor so i'd b mooooore than happy if i could somehow get my original tacho to wrk

Sounds like a plan. U-pipe as in exhaust from turbo pointing up? Must be sweet to not have any turbo water lines to worry about. 267 whp at 1.1 Bar is also quite impressive. That proves that urs is a very efficient setup.

updates?

Plz let us kno how the tacho mod goes. Could you be so kind as to share the info about the resistor swap?

I'd guess the lightest, narrowest rim wheel & tyre u can find. However, smaller diameter tyre & wheel at the back versus the front can cause the back of the vehicle to be lower than the front, thus potentially slightly shifting the weight of the vehicle to the rear & effectively lowering traction at the front drive wheels. Somebody correct me if i am wrong please.

Changed for the better tho.

Any updates?

Car was chained?

O.... i c u did it already. First i'm actually seein a pic of the stud conversion. Looks good. Should hold down real good too.

Hey mate ...... is it that ARP sells the studs specifically for the 5E cylinder head or is it that you or someone else measured the bolt specifications (thread, pitch, ......) & just chose a stud with the same thread specs? I am interested to know as i will be ordering a set of bolts soon but i know studs are the better route to go.

Torquey .......

ummmmm ...... it's the weekend. Spill the beans.

That's a big one for a CT-9 fella. All the best tho

keep the faith mate, she'll shine forth one day.
