Looks great. I had mine out today, really pleased apart from it jumping out of 4th still. I loosened the bolt on the quick shift which Mark thought might help but it didn't...I think it needs a new selector fork and maybe. A standard shifter to protect the fork???

Can't see the quicker shifter doing that. Know someone that used that setup hard on track with no issues. Keep us posted on your findings.

Fuel swirl pot removed for fuel temp sensor and exhaust down pipe to have 2 more bungs welded in for EGT and closed loop bosch sensors to be fitted.




Autronics Ecu removed & old wiring loom










Losing the waste spark kit being replaced with coil on plug.



More bits going that won't be need with the new ECU



Fuel pressure sensors for Stack gauge and Emtron ECU sensor going in to the fuel rail.

Emtron oil pressure ECU sensor will be going where the orignal factory one is fitted.

New wiring loom fitted through bulk head all needs connecting up.

These are a remark of the 18" wheel that was done this year the caps do sit better than the original 18" wheels.

Not looking for any more but if it picks up more just means it will run abit less boost. Just looking at adding more boost around low and mid range with the new ECU.

Multi throttles bodys should be going on next year and if it picks up more horse power it will be capped at 530ish bhp.

Don't fit them 5v sensors direct to the block or fuel rail, the vibrations will kill them, been there done that.
On my rally car i monitor what you have here and more. The sensors need to be away from the NVH, small pipe runs from the engine and clip the sensor to something soft.

They are not cheap, no matter what spec they still die.

Underside all put back together.











Will need a new crank pulley one I've got fitted was put on when the Autonics was fitted 2 lug crank pulley. Will be getting a MK Motorsport 36-1 crank pulley timing is being affected when the car was started up today.

New crank seal and cambelt when pulley is off and mounting sensors remotelty after speaking with Mark today hes never seen any fail but does agree it limits the issue.

Out of interest what's the need for adding a fuel temp sensor buddy?

fueling changes from cold to hot fuel so it's a extra safety feature.

I think that the Emtron can control the speed it runs at with the right pump. I would like the ecu wired to fuel pressure so that if it begins to fail it would cut power to stop the car running lean under boost.

You can also benefit with checking fuel temp to ensure the fuel system is not overheating the fuel.
