Rob H@RCH Engineering Posted April 12, 2015 Author Posted April 12, 2015 Got most of it done done! Just need to swap the TPS plug and pin in the injectors and speed sensor to the ecu and it should be good to go![url=http://s87.photobucket.com/user/turbosr_2006/media/toylet/CB65CE3D-AD1B-47F7-A7FD-7206BE62F681_zpsymkeawxw.jpg.html][/url Quote

5e colin Posted April 12, 2015 Posted April 12, 2015 thats tasty , is that your own welding work on the rails ??? also you not going to run a pressure gauge on the regulator rob ??? Quote
daniel_g Posted April 12, 2015 Posted April 12, 2015 Sweet, love that one at 0.6bar with all the overtakes lol Quote
ro55ifumi Posted April 12, 2015 Posted April 12, 2015 Looks quality as always look forward to seeing what it makes after your visit to Will @ RDT John Quote
Socks Posted April 12, 2015 Posted April 12, 2015 Interesting project as always Rob. Last time i saw a car with 8 injectors was back in the Cossie Days, when decent injectors of a decent size just didn't exist! Look forward to seeing your car actually make the power its built for this year! Quote
Rob H@RCH Engineering Posted April 12, 2015 Author Posted April 12, 2015 (edited) Cheers lads! Colin I will prob wont run a gauge as the fuel pressure is monitored by the ECU, I used the snap-on thest gauge tho to set the base pressure. Video to follow soon! Its just uploading to YouTube!Here it is!https://youtu.be/X5eVcJ9HXA4 Edited April 12, 2015 by Rob H Quote
Rob H@RCH Engineering Posted April 13, 2015 Author Posted April 13, 2015 Its now taxed!! And ready to go see Will at RDT.tv for setting up! Carnt wait!! Quote
Rob H@RCH Engineering Posted April 17, 2015 Author Posted April 17, 2015 Mapping is now booked!!! just got the brakes to clean up and bleed, fit the bumper and give it a wash now I THINK LOL!! Quote
FrozenJakalope Posted April 17, 2015 Posted April 17, 2015 I can't wait until this is done mate, the quality of the work you've put into it is absolutely top notch. Looking forward to some gopro on the bumper vids when you've got it mapped and on the road Quote
Rob H@RCH Engineering Posted April 18, 2015 Author Posted April 18, 2015 Thanks mate! There sure will be some more vids to come! Along with the broken media one! Quote
Mickey The Fish Posted April 28, 2015 Posted April 28, 2015 I had the pleasure of going out for a little spin in this car early this evening, not only is the build quality and ingenuity of home crafted parts epic on it's own.But I have never been in a Starlet that is such a well tuned package and the Spool and acceleration from a 1.3 litre running a TD05 Turbo is just simply Mind Blowing, absolutely no lag.Plus it's not even fully mapped yet so can't imagine what it will be like when Rob has got it fully tuned.Absolutely lovely car, driven by a gentleman.

Rob H@RCH Engineering Posted April 28, 2015 Author Posted April 28, 2015 Thanks mate!! Was a pleasure to meet you and to take you out in it and I sure will when we finish mapping it! The head gasket is nicely tucked away into storage! Quote
Phil Posted April 29, 2015 Posted April 29, 2015 oh... this plus a TRD headgasket hehehe nice Phil Quote
Rob H@RCH Engineering Posted April 29, 2015 Author Posted April 29, 2015 Few more updates! These Rays Sebring Sprints turned up last week thanks to WallaceGlanza!! Theres been a long going thing about these wheels lol and now there mine!! These wheels are going into storage in a nice safe place so the nice Yokohama Parada Spec 2s came off and went on my rims! We have got some tuning done too but only up to gate pressure for now 0.5 bar. Im not too sure on the power but as Mikey pointed out its still pretty epic lol The first pick is one of aaddzz123 Then I had a play with the tig again yesterday my welding is still not perfect but its getting there!All the bits cut and ready for welding together for the new expansion tank. Welded up New and old fitted Then just the new one! much more space! And thats about it for now! Quote
Rob H@RCH Engineering Posted April 29, 2015 Author Posted April 29, 2015 Im already running a TRD gasket Phil this one is just a spare to keep in stock along with the spare Rays lol Quote
Phil Posted April 29, 2015 Posted April 29, 2015 Im already running a TRD gasket Phil this one is just a spare to keep in stock along with the spare Rays lol Ah right never realised that! Go TRD Phil Quote
Nanglebadger Posted April 29, 2015 Posted April 29, 2015 I really must take a spin over some day with Mr Bower to nosey at this beast in the flesh! nice update sir! Phil. Quote
Rob H@RCH Engineering Posted April 29, 2015 Author Posted April 29, 2015 Cheers Phil! Any time your over your welcome to a run in it! Quote
Matt1878 Posted April 29, 2015 Posted April 29, 2015 Amazing work here rob! I'd love to be able enough to make bits and bobs for mine. That expansion is a huge improvement over the stock bottle. Quote
5e colin Posted April 29, 2015 Posted April 29, 2015 rob your welding is really good mate i wish mine was almost like that still have a long way to go to be anywhere near ha ha is there an advantage in running bigger tank ? Quote
Rob H@RCH Engineering Posted April 29, 2015 Author Posted April 29, 2015 It actually holds the same amount of coolant Colin with room for expansion, its only 2 1/2" pipe I did it more to fill the gap at the side of the rad than anything. Quote
Rob H@RCH Engineering Posted May 6, 2015 Author Posted May 6, 2015 Well after another trip to RDT it is now mapped!! there is still some left in it but for now I will settle for 256 Wheel HP. To say its an animal is an understatement lol It was spinning up in 3rd in the dry with parada spec2 on. Will post picks, vids and some charts later on! Quote
