The_Notorious_C_A_T Posted December 14, 2009 Author Share Posted December 14, 2009 I was thinking that but the engine was only out for a day, and I was down at tm developments then so nay chance of getting it cleaned up then! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

And why the JPerformance cooler instead?Keep it up. Appreciate bud, I went to tm developments for the engine. A long way from hill billy heaven for sure!I went for the j performance intercooler as it's a hdi yet cheaper, and I had already fitted a hdi cooler so no messing about getting it to fit. And the speedvision one wasn't the greatest of fitting one tbh. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The_Notorious_C_A_T Posted December 17, 2009 Author Share Posted December 17, 2009 Finally a big update :rockon: The car is now finished at Mark's and back with me ;)Took it to work but had to take it easy due to having no fueling or management so driving off boost is total gay like.But as soon as I got it home, threw on my AEM wideband and gauge, my HKS dump valve insert and removed the silly boost solenoid. I also got my TRD rear beam bushes from Rory's mate Fudi which I swapped for my old wishbones.Some general pics and some of my work:And tomorrow I'm off on a long trek to Nick for my emanage ultimate fitted and mapped. Along with my aem boost controller.Then when I get it back up I still need to fit my new steering wheel and Ultra racing rear arb, get those rear bushes fitted then enjoy, until respray time!

Sparky Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 Mateeee shes alive Should be awsome when mapped, how much is the EMU and mapping bud, something I am seriously considering from Nick.Do them BOV inserts make a difference? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The_Notorious_C_A_T Posted December 18, 2009 Author Share Posted December 18, 2009 ecu and mapping was around 900 all in, can't remember the exact price though bud.And no idea if it does, I've never given it boost with the standard insert and I still haven't set off the dump valve on my drive down to warrington lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sparky Posted December 19, 2009 Share Posted December 19, 2009 Spill the beans then mate, how did the mapping go? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The_Notorious_C_A_T Posted December 19, 2009 Author Share Posted December 19, 2009 Still not finished yet bud, an no idea, just left it with mike and nick lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sparky Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 Oh right fair enough Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The_Notorious_C_A_T Posted December 20, 2009 Author Share Posted December 20, 2009 right thats me home, mapping all done.It's quick to say the least. Some weird readings coming up on my wideband although not sure how accurate that is, and it's not on boost so not that worrying as apparently my wideband came up with different readings to his when it was being mapped.Although due to the weather never really got to use it much on the way back, and fear of the man taking my license away¬ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Enzo Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 my rear axle bushes also arrived today Thats the car fully bushed now:the whole build it sterling work,where did you get these rear axle bushes from bud? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The_Notorious_C_A_T Posted December 20, 2009 Author Share Posted December 20, 2009 red ones where from ebay but apparently don't fit, so I got trd ones.Although never had a look myself like. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sparky Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 I bet its immense bud Be good to see a few quick videos, when the weathers better and when you have time. Really interested in seeing what the sequential shifter is like and the whole car in general!Epic build Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jason_l Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 I bet its immense bud Be good to see a few quick videos, when the weathers better and when you have time. Really interested in seeing what the sequential shifter is like and the whole car in general!Epic buildsecond that! Would love to see that sequential in action! looks a beaut! would love one for the buggy but can't afford it. Plus i don't think they do one for a mr2!I love this build loads, pure sexualness!!!!!

The_Notorious_C_A_T Posted December 21, 2009 Author Share Posted December 21, 2009 Thanks for the kind comments lads Not really interesting but pic of the emanage in it's new home:A few more tweaks for today, went to town to get some silicone hosing to tidy up how and where the boost controller solenoid was:From this:To this:Although not sure if I have maybe put it a bit far away but I didn't like having it upside down on the cross member and so close to the mani.Also had to tidy up the wiring in the interior as it was looking a bit like an abortion had happened in the car!No before pics as I didn't take any except for around the area below the stereo centre console but I didn't end up taking any after I had tidied it a bit. But nicely mounted boost and wideband gauges:Although I got a cable for my emanage ultimate so I can tweak it a little as it seems to be running a bit lean on idle, and I would like to get the hang of messing about with it myself. And also need to learn how to use the boost controller as well lolAlso you might notice some pics it's filthy and some the engine isn't. I gave it a quick clean, usual way, throw some silcoline pro oil on it and a quick wipe down Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Idrees Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 Looking good Cat, any way of getting the gauge wiring to look tidier? Maybe a hole in the dash behind them? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Blair Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 that sequential looks mean mate this is some build thread - all the health to ride it like a dirty bitch!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe a hole in the dash behind them?I would like to but can't be arsed much tbh and don't fancy drilling more holes Maybe if I got a proper gauge pod thing but i don't like them much.that sequential looks mean mate this is some build thread - all the health to ride it like a dirty bitch!! appreciate the kind words bud, never heard it put like that before though lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The_Notorious_C_A_T Posted December 24, 2009 Author Share Posted December 24, 2009 Wee bit of an update, passenger side driveshaft has decided to start knocking away, so bought another set of shafts to replace, and then will refurb the ones I have. Since I had already replaced the passenger side one, I can start on that now. And Camskill got my parts here in less than a day almost, at this time of year and with the weather hats off to them for sure for the speedy service!Few pics:Original shaft in bits with the boots cut away30 spline inner for these shafts:Inner joint all cleaned up:New cv on left, old on right:And since I didn't know how many splines I actually had, I bought 2 of each to make sure ;):Will get to do the other side once and finish this one once I have the driver side off as well.Then when the new second hand ones arrive I'll do the same for them, so I have a spare set lying about Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sparky Posted December 25, 2009 Share Posted December 25, 2009 For the New CV it looks like an ABS one? And the old one doesnt Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The_Notorious_C_A_T Posted December 25, 2009 Author Share Posted December 25, 2009 For the New CV it looks like an ABS one? And the old one doesntI was thinking that bud, but the other set have a much more prominent cogs and are listed for the abs versions. So I'm guessing these are right, well hoping haha Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sparky Posted December 25, 2009 Share Posted December 25, 2009 Its a strange subject for these cars, the CV's Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The_Notorious_C_A_T Posted December 25, 2009 Author Share Posted December 25, 2009 yeah man, one kind would be the way to go, and just the abs ones with the pick up ring. Make parts easier to find.But no, they need to know the spline count which you need to know before buying the part, and to know that you need to take it to bits. Oh another wee update, bought a new turbo timer as the one on it is gay. Unfortunately the ebay folk close for christmas so aint even going to send it until 4th Jan, cunts. Teach me for not reading the advert properly! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
