Thats the lowest HC ive ever seen on a LET engine, so I reckon its looking good in terms of the run in procedure being finished and everything still in good order and no oil being burned etc.
Next job now is to get it onto autronic SM4 engine management and then I can map it on low boost (10psi and about 280-300bhp) and then I can start to sort the suspension properly once I get it on track to see how it handles, for now im airing on the side of caution with loads of rear toe in to try and keep it stable as its collecting some toe out under compression and I dont want it going past 0 degrees when that happens.
Fingers crossed my first outing is 29th December at Donnington if I can get it all done in time.
Picture of it for anyone who hasnt seen it:
Lambda value would obviously be ok, so that would have passed the CAT emmisions as well. haha. Good work, most XE's with Cats on don't manage that.
