Jozinobi Posted November 19, 2010 Author Share Posted November 19, 2010 ★ Project Akai Kodou's 1st Dyno Visit @SS ★Long overdue update when I went to have the car checked and dynoed.Bit of EPorn for you. If you haven't noticed, SS tunes starlets The dyno was buggered that day which we duly found out She had about 5 runs until SS confirmed it was the dyno playing up, suspected wheel bobble I think not :BSS just had their dyno 'serviced' and tightened so I was the 1st to use it since, normally its 100%.Car is safely estimated at around or over 140bhp from one run where it did read right, which is about right for the engines new condition and few mods. Atho the vids are not entirely meaningful they are a quick insight into SS's recent setup and how things can easily go wrong on the day.I will be happily returning once I have been mapped by CCM.Cheers to Jay and Steve for the day out.★ Vids ★ ★ 1st Failed Dyno Run ★ Dyno Parameters Quick Peek ★ Parameters Going Haywire ★ Rays ViewOther updates now that the EP has passed MOT are a visit to Jay's for the WEPR FMIC fitting next week and the long awaited return of my Evo Recaros with new custom rails, can't wait to actually sit properly again. Teething problems seem to be over so there are no more oil leaks now she is sorted.All I can do now is enjoy and fill her up. I'm leaving the b-pillar bars slag bare metal for the time being.Car is much sharper and boost is reached almost instantly thanks to the Blitz decat, it is almost impossible NOT to dump in town lol!Desparately need new rubber, Rainsport 2's will get here from Camskill end of the month.Currently loving it and the bug has bitten me again. More updates/parts coming soon Joz Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jozinobi Posted November 19, 2010 Author Share Posted November 19, 2010 Cheers Lew Pretty sure the Blitz decat has released a bit more but its all about how it drives at the end of the day.She is really reliable at the moment and the Meisters are on soft settings to deal with the awful roads.Joz Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jozinobi Posted November 24, 2010 Author Share Posted November 24, 2010 ★ Progress Update - WEPR Fmic Fitted & Other Goodness ★The car progressed further on Monday, huge thanks to Jay re-installing the newly railed Evo Recaros and most importantly installing the WEPR Fmic which is a work of pipeart. Mild bumper modifications did have to be made (she is pretty tight) but I am very impressed with the outcome both lookswise and performance wise. All I did was the cleaning and being overly enthusiastic with the brake cleaner, whoops! Funky reverse scoop was also fitted, colour coding is for losers, JDM ftw! Another mystery ?JDM? part was also lurking in Jay's Garage so it would have been rude to turn it down, see if you can spot it.After installation we took her for a few runs to ensure no pipes blew off and that she would not be hitting fuel cut. Of course she did hit fuel cut and also triggered the eml on a few occasions (pipes were 100%). This was remedied by one turn back on the HKS actuator which solved the problem. I am still getting 0.8bar of full boost and the delivery is a lot smoother with noticeable added top end. It was a cool night so perfect for the testing. She is not running overly rich but there is plenty of scope for further tuning as the fuel is there.Any myths of slightly added lag are nonsense and the sound of the turbo whistle is so much louder and noticeable. If anything the car is even more responsive on and off boost! Plans are to either get the emanage ultimate on in the new year (to bypass the fuel cut instead of using a fcd) or sell it and invest in a full EMS that CCM supports for the next turbo setup. For now the CT9 setup is safe, reliable and enjoyable.4x Uniroyal Rainsport 2's also arrived the following morning, so my plan of action is to have the Rays Gramlights powdercoated next week with sexy new rubber. They can also fit and balance the tyres at the same place so its handy as hell, saves me going to a separate tyre place. As for the colour its a mystery and I will be deciding that morning depending on what they show me. Its a one day turnaround so no pissing about Something naughty is also arriving for the EP but that will have to be fitted after chrimbo.Another note is I have spent the manifold money so its ported mani ftw! Installation photos coming soon courtesy of Jay's Garage. Joz Quote Link to post Share on other sites
