JamesG Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 Looks great this, nice work . Has the wastegate been ported at all or is it standard size? Be interested to see how it does on the dyno at td. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sam44 Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 (edited) have you thorough about acl bigend bearings. there are alot of bigend failures after mapping. literally with in months. fantastic work by the way. this setup should be so quick.

I don’t plan on touching the internals at all, mike has a customer they mapped a na for with the same set up as me three years ago he uses as a daily and had no issues so far so fingers crossed all will be ok 👌🏻 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sam44 Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 (edited) yeh. from what im told tunning developments are the people to see on these. people do rush into building and mapping. theres just so many builds on here were after mapping the big end fails literally with in a month.

You’ve said this many times and I’ve never seen examples? TD map the majority anyway, the 8 or so I’ve done have never had an issue with a big end going after a dyno session.

Sam44 Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 (edited) ill put some examples up. if you search it there mainly on this site. i wont put them on this build thread. Edited November 28, 2020 by Sam44 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Pikey009 Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 I might have a spare map sensor mate, will look tomorrow. How did you set your actuator up? Also, can you post a pic of the header tank bracket?- need to make one and it might save me a little time seeing another. Can you post a full size pic of your avatar? As it looks like a nice one. Really neat and tidy install with the fmic. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It’s cool I’ve got a map sensor on the way 😀, I’ll get u a pic of the bracket tomorrow mate but it’s just literally a 90 degree piece of steel I bolted to the brake line bracket. I haven’t set the actuator yet Mike at td will do it when it’s mapped Quote Link to post Share on other sites

stevie82 Posted December 10, 2020 Author Share Posted December 10, 2020 Picking the car up from tuning developments in the morning so update to follow 😀 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stevie82 Posted December 11, 2020 Author Share Posted December 11, 2020 (edited) Cars all done and I’m really happy with how it drives, it picks up boost quite quickly and is funny to drive. Boost was wound back from 10 psi to 7 as it was having some valve float at high rpm due to na valve springs. A high flow fuel pump was needed as it began to lean off too much. I want the car usable and reliable so I’m happy with the boost levels and power it made I’m not chasing figures and I feel it’s on the money for what I intend to use it for. I can’t recommend tuning developments enough, they’ve mapped both my sr and glanza v and im more the happy with both results they know what they’re doing and are just genuine people 😀 Edited December 11, 2020 by stevie82 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

stevie82 Posted December 12, 2020 Author Share Posted December 12, 2020 A few more tidy up jobs to do and a few more bits to buy and an mot to sort then it’s off to oulton park in January for a shake down Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Nice smooth power delivery too, no sudden surprises in the curve, should drive predictably. Had a few questions about the setup, how did you mount the intake air temp. sensor? Also with the intercooler piping did you go under the front lower cross member or out and round in through the sides? Any pics with the bumper off? Also were you using the 4efe fuel pressure regulator or a 4efte unit? Good job, looks like a nice clean install. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hi thanks for the comments, firstly the air intake temp sensor is just tied up in the engine bay as it’s not an issue, I’m using the stock 4efe fuel pressure regulator but did have to change the fuel pump as it ran lean top end and I first ran the intercooler pipework under the front crossmember but it looked shit with the na bumper as the bumper fouls the pipes massively so I went for 51mm pipes round the sides and it’s much better I’ll try find a pic Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Been eyeing mine up to see about the intercooler routes and thought the same, would need big slots in the underside of bumper to clear the pipes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sam44 Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 Fantastic result. looking really smart also. It's good to see a graph on the tubular inlet and 4efe cams. Look at all that low to mid end torque. When do you start to build boost I bet it's very low rpm. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stevie82 Posted November 20, 2021 Author Share Posted November 20, 2021 Not updated this in a while, work and life in general has been hectic so not a lot has happened over the last year really. The sr passed mot first time 😀 and then just sat in a corner of the unit at work unfortunately. Started her up about a month ago and noticed a small amount of blue smoke when it had warmed up ? Bugger ! That combined with a slightly milky oil cap was enough to pull the head and do the gasket as I’m positive it will be the original gasket. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
