Cheers guys, big thank you to guys ar RH got the car back today looking forward to enjoying it after a map tweak from Simon and a geo setup from chevron. Will be back with Andy no doubt pretty soon for a few more mods that I have planned

banny786

Quick update, had a small map tweak with Simon for the fmic, inlet temp sensor and wideband lambda.

Worked an absolute treat today, fmic added and few heat management mods and it allowed nearly 3 more degrees of timing

Arrived home after work to this

Small update



Also finally found some wheels I like but also been offered a set of Advan RG11 that need a little work. What would you go for?

banny786

Did not work out with the Advans but these should look pretty good

banny786

Favourite mod bar none

Look perfect...

Bucket seats ordered

banny786

KWs needed new spring platforms and bump stops, so car will be home in the new year now. On a brighter note after a good shafting by parcel farce my sticker set is here





Bought these for when the other engine goes in

slammedorion

I prefer them without the stickers...


It's getting there though ain't it...

banny786

I had been looking into getting the engine bay a cleaning as it was pretty poor state, had a great offer from big fud to do it while the car was at Chevron. Will let the pics do the rest of the talking

Looks better under there......

banny786

Collected the car from Chevron on saturday, amazing job once again from Simon and the lads cant praise the setup and guys enough. Was a superb drive home





Also had a change of plan with the front mounted turbo setup after speaking to a friend who runs that config on his track car. Now back to a rotated setup

banny786

Sun was out so gave the car a good clean and tried to finally get some better pics

slammedorion

Looks perfect
Wedges want de-tango ing...

banny786

Still undecided on the detango as the paint chips too easily on them

Bank holiday treat for the car and the power phase begins in earnest next week....

banny786

Early morning jaunt to drop the car off with John Goulding of spool motorsport developments in Scotland. As a bonus got to see the Ti exhaust fitted

New running gear



John set about tidying the whole car first with a lick of underseal



Then set about the engine bay lol

What engine is it?
Ej22t or a 2.5?

banny786

It's a destroked 2.5 in a pinned block, picked it up at a good price as a long block hence taking a pun on it
Cheers fellas, its going to be touch and go but feeling hopeful it will be at JGM day

front end starting to take shape but a slight error on the rad as they send the wrong size, waiting on the correct one now







RS500 style intercooler from airtec

slammedorion

I'd like a 2.5 Type R if I was to do another, just a lot cheaper than a proper Ej22t build...
400 BHP/lbs of torque is a lot cheaper going 2.5
Fun road car that...
What's your engine cost?

banny786

I bought it second hand as a long block and it was cheap enough for me to take a punt on it being a pinned 2.5 block

Quick update, no pressure though as its booked in for mapping tomorrow lol

slammedorion

What you expecting from it?
450bhp ish?

Good luck, get some videos up...

banny786

guesstimate from mapping on the road on tesco 99 at 2 bar is in the region of 560-580bhp. Got a short vid of a quick pull and short shift at 6k, which I can try uploading?

slammedorion

Wow
Mapping on the road can be fun
We're back out in the Orion soon for tweaks...

banny786

Cheers

Not driven the car yet but this is the video that was sent to me, excuse the poor quality

Sounds lively

Well the day started at 6.45am on Thursday as we headed up to Edinburgh to John's arrived at around 11.30 and quick nut and bolt check and we are off to HQ performance.

Quick stop at Shell as I wanted a v power map rather than Tesco 99 fuel, due to it being more accessible to me around my local vicinity, arrive at HQ in good time and Russ is mapping a nice JDM legacy wagon in WR blue.

Car is on the dyno at around 2.45 after lunch, quick smoke test and it reveals a slightly leak around the manifold, quick bolt tighten up and chat with Russ with requirements and how things should pan out.



Russ cracks on checking the V power map and doing some runs, everything looks pretty good and goes smoothly and car is performing faultlessly. Time to let car and dyno cool dyno a little as it is almost 40c in the dyno cell

Time to setup the flex fuel sensor and get on with the methanol map, some wiring gremlins halt play but with Russ and John both working on the car and some pizzas later, its cracked flex fuel sensor is playing ball and ready to go

Russ sets about getting it setup for methanol as it is not straight forward as copying and pasting fuel maps and adjusting it, syvecs makes you start from scratch and adjust it as a percentage. The v power map was capped at 2 bar and for meth we decided on a figure of 2.2 bar, things are going well picking some nice gains on methanol, another couple of runs and car wont go past 2 bar.

The wastegate springs stop play at 2 bar so there is headroom for a little more power and torque should I want to push it not that I think I will. We did not get off the dyno till almost 10pm and set off back home at just before 11pm but what a drive back and landing at home at 3.30am on friday!!!

Massive thanks to John for building such an awesome car, Russ Paton for doing such a great job mapping the car and recommending an excellent pizza place

Would also like to thank eggy790, big fud, marcus, andy grady, tim jt innovations for all the support and helping for seeing the project through

Like to say thank you to the fellas at Richard henry motorsport, for doing tidying up the engine bay and doing some jobs that have made the car that bit nicer to drive

engine bay ic pipe sprayed wrinkle black, satin black header tank and custom overflow tank



Boot mounted washer bottle (used a newage ic bottle, cheers matty @ mb)



Also massive thanks to my bro Maz for taking charge and doing a boss job of the oem stickers, something I was dreading as I didnt want to mess it up lol

MarK4

Very impressive Banny, never knew you were on here to. Can't wait to get mine on the go.

marcus amelious

banny786

I get about a bit bro

banny786

So I decided to keep the car had the bodywork tidied



Also has the external wastegates piped correctly



Then a remap for 2.2bar boost on 20% meth with andrew carr up at teg sport
