  1. Yeah this thread has been neglected by me - my bad!!! Where to start...... Got a pair of solid green uras wheels refurbed - need to go back and get the other pair done! well i ditched the plazmaman style inlet manifold as i was able to find an original greddy inlet manifold with a larger 90mm Q45 throttle body. I had a change of heart and decided that why im spending so much money on the car, i may aswell not skrimp on the injectors, so instead of putting the rx7 850cc injectors in, I got Mike @ TD to order me some ID1000s (they will cope with 1000bhp so no need for bigger!), however this getting a new fuel rail as the ID1000 are top feed, so good old ebay and chinese products, i bought a cheap hks style fuel rail. Im now on my WOLF V550 ecu, finally been able to ditch my power FC and Z32 maf, when the car went to TD for mapping i asked them to replace a few tappets as when the car was off the road at the beginning of the year, some of them had seized up and making an annoying tapping sound, so this was done, however upon them building the car back up and starting the car in 6 months, it had dropped a cylinder (prior to it going off the road i thought it had dropped a cylinder but dismissed it thinking it was just coilpack issue), anyway a compression test confirmed that there was no compression on cylinder 6, however a borescope confirmed that pistons were ok. So the head was stripped apart again and had to come off, and found a small chip in one of the valves. Due to this delay Nick didnt have suffice time to put a full map on the car, so its only running a bar of boost and on a very safe map - but enough for me to take it round donnington at japfest 2. Sadly after my 2 sighting laps and 1 quick lap my session was brought to an end, as a silicone joiner next to the exhaust manifold got rather warm (didnt melt) but it expanded and kept popping off. Ive now sorted it and got a friend to fabricate me a new hot side intercooler pipe - testing has proved successful. Off to the ring in a few weeks, so ill get some videos up got some pictures to upload but cant access photobucket atm.
  2. Don't go over 90...... Lol How many miles you done with the new brakes?

  4. Ah have they now... Ill have to have a butchers
  5. Also tuning developments - their kit is the only one that allows both screamer to atmosphere and it plumbed back in.
  6. Yeah as Adam said, spring pressure dictates the lowest boost pressure you will run, you will then use a boost controller to increase the boost accordingly. hope this helps
  7. company is now called austec - as above matt is now in the states but company is still there with the dyno...
  8. was mapped at AFR tuning, whether they stillhave the graph or not - may be worth contacting them - if you word it along the lines of soemthing in his memory, then im sure they will go extra mile and send it over to you (if they still have it).
