Mines Alive again. I've been putting Emerald K6 ecu on it, which ment rewiring the entire engine, I also deleted the Idle control & air flow meter and few other bits, put in 560cc injectors bigger turbo, its been pretty busy down the workshop lately. I wouldn't say I was a ca genius though, just been learning as I go along.

I might have one of these kicking about on an old block, I'll have a look for you tmw

It will be at lydden on the 15th, it ran pretty sweet today, the best I've ever heard that engine firing and it only has a base map on the ecu to get it running,
Tmw's job is to wire up the lamba sensor for closed loop mapping which will basically mean the car is capable of mapping itself while on the road or in my case track.
I'm taking the car to Dave Walker at Emerald to have it mapped next week and aiming for between 350-400 ponnies. Anywhere it that range and i'll be happy. I'll take a video of it tmw and put it up.

 

Is that the guy who writes articles for Practical Performance Car?

 

Yer I think years ago he has something to do with PPC, I thought that magazine had stopped these days.


Bradders, I've not got that hose fitting, its the right angled fitting that goes into the block on the old engine, sorry mate

 

Try Pirtek or Hopespares they will defo have one. only few quid too.

Visited pirtek on Saturday and the guy in there tried his best to be very unhelpful.... Maybe he didn't like my face or something , where abouts is hope spares?

 

Video of the ca running on Emerald ECU, Its current map is purely to get the engine running.

nice one buddy

 

That's kool, pirtek can be a little useless, were Hopespare always willing to help regardless how small your order is.

 

Gonna call um tommorro see if they can be my knights in shiny armour lol

 

They are good for some seriously random shit, they can get you anything too if they aint got it in stock. Also love how people pay silly money for all there Braided oil and water lines where these guys do them at a fraction of the cost.

 

I'm sure this ain't ment to move???????

 

Cranked mine over again today, no horrible bottom end fally-aparty noises this time, so far so good

 

I thought mine was bad, if you find a supplier for them let me know as ive not been able to get a new one.

 

So are the ment to be solid then, no movement up or down?

 

Thats fucked. Theres some movement but nothing like that.
