My Broken FD

At this point the engine went back in.

I got another bumper and test fitted some bits I was planning to run on the body.

Got myself a new computer.

Did some wiring

Got it to run. (completely untuned)
(not sure if youtube works on the BB here)
First run and idle - YouTube

When I got the car it was running on the factory ecu. It had the OMP removed and a single HT18 turbo. there were alot of loose bolts and dodgy things in the engine bay.
I got myself a Nightsports T04b hybrid upgrade for the turbo as i wanted to keep things small and responsive on the road.

So this is the way she was when it went off for the first setup and tune.

Locked and loaded.
Roll on 8am tomorrow

fingers (toes, arms, and legs) crossed for a good outcome

Man, I wish my shed had exhaust pipes!!

Setting up pre dyno

loaded up

Here is a little video while doing some lower range runs (not very exciting)

Sadly the enlarged internal wastegate on the turbo was too small and was giving some boost spikes up to a bar, not ideally where i would like it
so we gave up on the tuning for the day and i'll have a new manifold made with a 60mm external wastegate and do it all over again.

Not that it matters much but this is the chart.

there is plenty more to be done.

Then I took the car back into work to start on the repaint.
Here are a couple of progress pics.

In primer

Got some primer down last week

got the shell rubbed down today. Roll on some colour.

So the shell has some colour on it now.

Boy does it look good!!

First we needed to lay a black base down over the primer so that the colour wouldn't look blotchy

then some of the colour in all of its magnificence.

Its pretty hard to see the colour in these photos but it really looks awesome out in the sun.

Super excited to get some colour on all the bolt on panels and get it back together for good!!:bouncin:

EDIT:

Rear end of the car is pretty much back together now. just got the windows to go back in

stuck my diffuser on today too.
