Nanglebadger Posted August 1, 2011 Author Share Posted August 1, 2011 cheers gents.needs a wash, but this weekend is all about de boostz, not de cleanz.K1 and ECU, so excited i might actually wee in my chair here....lulPhil. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nanglebadger Posted August 7, 2011 Author Share Posted August 7, 2011 UpdateBlitz.That is all.ok a little more...since i love this place!K1 with ported mani and HKS actuator now reinstalled and Blitz Access ECU fitted.so many revs. where did those come from! bit disconcerting at first, you go to shift in your usual spot...yet the car continues to pull and pull...and neither of my tachos go above 8k...lul. so much fun.obviously it'll take the ECU a few days to settle itself in, but boost adjusted up through the gears on the first run, then on the second run she ran 0.9 bar in EVERY gear which she never used to.its just class. i literally caught myself grinning on the way home.as always a massive thanks to Jay!sump is still weeping but Jay believes he now knows why so a remedy is currently being sought, nout major tbh. should be an easy fix.next up - think its time i got some more of these gauges plumbed in!!!! time to consult weejohn i thinkz!Phil.

Socks Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 for a ct9... they are the BEST way to go... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nanglebadger Posted August 8, 2011 Author Share Posted August 8, 2011 cheers folks.she was a lot of fun on the way home. she'll probably not turn a wheel until the end of the week again but i'll be looking forward to it!!!!very pleased with how this complimented the K1.big thanks to WeeJohn for the bargain deal and his patience and understanding.And a note to any would-be fitters of an EP82 aftermarket ECU to an EP91 - they dont fit. the glove box fouls them quite significantly due to the thickness of the ECU, so be preparted to hack away parts of your glove box and have to close it with two hands from then on.Phil.

Raffi Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 Nice updates. Looking good. Nice to see that you are still cracking on that little blurple killer :-)Edit :by the way the front gold wheels look sick! :-) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nanglebadger Posted August 8, 2011 Author Share Posted August 8, 2011 thanks Raffi.those wheels definately suit an EP91 more than a GT as Jay noted yesterday. he currently has them fitted to a silver V. now, silver wouldnt be my favorite colour in them if im truthfully honest, but there is something striking about the combo of those gold speedies on a silver V! i couldnt stop looking at it!Phil.

ttestarlet Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 Looking good mate, im liking the spec bet its nice and responsive. You said you dont want it off the road anymore but in my opinion if your wanting to run the k1 near 1 bar it wont be long until the wastegate cracks and you cant swap the hot side with a ct9 as far as i can remeber. Just a lil something to take into concideration for the future Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nanglebadger Posted August 30, 2011 Author Share Posted August 30, 2011 cheers dude, i'll bear that in mind, probably for Jay's this weekend so i'll chat that over with him then.Phil. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ttestarlet Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 yeah good idea, maybe he knows a hot side you can use. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nanglebadger Posted August 30, 2011 Author Share Posted August 30, 2011 tbh tho, Alan was running this thing at over a bar for ages, including on the strip with NOS, and it came from Japan having been tracked, when we fitted it she had about 5 cracks in her already, and when he had it apart recently, it had got absolutely no worse. like, not even a little. my theory is that, compared to her previous owners, i'm not pushing her, or even remotely giving her a hard time, and at 0.9 bar of boost (which she doesn't see too often as she doesn't need the taps totally open all the time) with the ECU monitoring everything, tbh what im giving her shouldnt really be stressing her too much.fingers crossed lolPhil.
