well i hope to have a good day on the s13 and start playing with the vems today but this was not that day. as me and my dad got on with finishing the engine off we started to fit the turbo and manifold to then find the last stud pulled out

we had to strip it back down and take the head off to drill and retap it

so today from 2 till 8 is how long it took us to fit the turbo.

a better pic of in the car

the turbo and manifold finaly on

well on sat i got a cupple of hours in doing little jobs done like fitting air filter, alloys the removing rear spaces due to massive sticky out alloys

damo_s13 · 21-03-2007, 00:51

sunday me and my dad got on with welding/filling the boot. after which i have a little play with the vems/test things work. after an hour and 1 flat battery i gave up and came home to chat to phatbob.....

so on monday about dinner time i got the missis down to sit in the drivers seat/turn over as i changed a few setting and had 2hours trying to get the engine to start of which i got it to fire up but no idle at all after yet more talks with phatbob about injector settings!!!

the missis looking a little sleepy bless her x came down to help me on the s13 even tho she had been at work all night!!! thanks sweetie

today i got down and started again from the top with the basic check for fuel. yep check for spark only 3 out of 4! (DOH!) i have killed a coil driver some how

phone call to phatbob wiring changed to new driver then the right ingition and injector firing order (DOH!) inputted............. yes at last she fire and idled for about 25secounds at a time few more setting change and she now idle a little high and loud due to a hole in the exhust were the ego sensor needs to go but she idles

sorry but the camphone had to be used and i know :ghey: vems :Plug:

damo_s13 · 28-03-2007, 23:31

To tell the truth im going to book it in with h-dev for a proper map with some proper boost.

but im trying to do some of the low load stuff myself (mainly so i can run the engine in a little) which is not to hard (im doing kinda ok

) so far with a little help from bob i/we have got it up and running off the key from cold and idling ok. then sorted it out to rev a little and then on to driving at which i got to and back from the mot. this is were im at now as im waiting for insurance doc to come so i can get it taxed and play some more

damo_s13 · 25-08-2007, 12:09

just got a few little bits to do now

damo

damo_s13 · 31-08-2007, 23:18

well after a few small problems i got the car down to h-dev to see jez for mapping. turned up late dude to traffic

I am so happy it runs so sweet now...

Jez service is fantastic what a great bloke after spending about 30min sorting abit of wiring and the fuel presure for me. thanks again jez.

the mapping

once jez had got his gear installed onto the car for mapping off we went....

jez did the WOT stuff 1st after just a few runs the s13 was feeling alot better mid rev range and it was pulling stronge

so on to the part throtle stuff afew runs again slowly up the revs etc...

on the way down the s13 was a bit of a pig to drive very jerky and what sounded like missing on part throtle at times...

all this has now gone it feels competely different alot easer to dive now. i cound not recomend jez / h - dev anuff

my sr its not the fastest by for but im running stock injectors etc and only running 0.8bar of boost but dam im loving it! pulls from low down in the revs its great to beable to drive it again

so tomorrows jobs before traxs...

welding to do under the car
make a bracket to hold the rad in place
ducting for intercooler rad behind bonnet
fitting of apex coilovers 8/6 springs
give the car a clean... (its very very well and truely needed)

and if i get time weld the diff
