Ooh shiny! Shiny and red, good combination. Are you trimming the bit below your clamp rails?

Bad news about the ITB's, I feel like chasing them up.... I am dying to see what you get out of it once mapped.

You ought to run a book on it Riccy, Ten quid on 155bhp :evil: :whistle: :whistle:

I'm looking forwards to that bit as well I have sent DanST an email to see if that results in anything. Its April somewhere I am hoping to be doing that job, depends on space/time at JDM Dyno to get it squeezed in.

Maybe, the bit at the bottom does help with water ingress surprisingly well, even if it does flap about a bit

Yay! :woohoo: :silly: :lol:



DanST have come up with the goods. Turned up today just as I was getting home. A fair few bits to it. The throttle bodies and trumpets above, manifold and airbox too. Lots of little bits to make it all go together as well. Looks pretty well made too.





Massive airbox. It has this small filter to go on the end of the flexi pipe. I will be converting it to a snorkel but its handy to have to get it going.


Need to go and visit JDM Dyno tomorrow and see what he makes of it all and get it booked in

Vroom Vroom
I reckon 162bhp @ fly wheel
Well-Jell

Looks good, take a few days off work and get it sorted..... you don't need holidays....

That is going to wail! Really looking forward to hearing it have some work to do, it will sound mean! BRAAAAAAAAAAP!!!!!!

Oh and before I forget, it has to have a open extractors exiting behind the front wheel popping flames! :laugh:

Nice!

Looking forward to hearing it

Loosely bolted it all together this morning and put it onto an old engine in the garage to get some measurements. Looks like its going to be a good fit except the airbox exits at a bit of a bad angle unfortunatley. I think its the only one pipercross make, so its either to adapt or replace with something custom. It will work for the dyno side of things at least.



Then JDM dyno replied saying he was in today so popped round to see Johnny and show him this kit. All seems pretty straigtforward. Bit of a chinwag about whats to do and what else is needed and booked in for the 20th April. Probably 2-3 days to fit and a full tune on the rolling road. He is going to check ECU prices and give me a call next week about ordering that too.

So from that I need to get: Some of the vac line pipe for the fuel line return and probably some for the rest of it. Some T pieces to use vac points on the new throttle bodies for the fuel vac setup. basically pipe and pipe fittings.
set of road tyres. This is because my 31" Toyo's are too knobbly and will get hot with the rolling road apparently. Normal road tyres but ideally in the same 31" size are needed for the rear. That means either buying some or being lucky enough to find someone with some i could borrow for the tuning...?

Despite supposedly the country being shut down for Covid19 I am still able to get these babies courierd easy enough...









Toyo OpenCountry ATs in 31x10.5r15 size on 15x8 modulars with 0 offset.

These are to match the rolling radius and drag of the Toyo MT's I normally run for the dyno tuning (pretty sure thats still on). The MT's would wearout or heatup fast with a 5hr spell on the dyno apparently. These are semi-sacrifcial for that purpose, but will also be re-used for an upcoming trailer build I've been plotting, hence why the same rims & tyre size as the car (and a trailer doesnt need MT tyres).

Not an essential journey really, coming up to watch your dyno run..... bummer.
