ok, thought i'd do another update thread. still not finished. but getting there.

257mm Vented GT brakes (thanks Peaster2k)



wheels now upgraded to 14" speedliens (thanks Brooky)



1000A / 155min deep cylce battery fitted (thanks brothers mate)



it all lights up now




LC1 is working and calibrated (hence red led near red button) and i've finally got my cd back out the head unit. :slayer:

Stuff left to do:
1> Decide on fuses needed for injectors / fuel pump.
2> check wiring to ecu/ecu ok and map it.
3> fill with oil and coolant.
4> attach handbrake cable
5> bleed brakes
6> mount catch tank and connect breather system.

got slightly worried before, walked round to the back of the car and could smell summit had got warm. panicing, i sniffed round the battery and then to the front of the car - then remembered, on first power up - the LC1 has to calibrate the heater circuit for the lambda, and thats what i could smell heating up. phew.

lol ,bet you crap'd yourself when you smelled the heat

dials are cool

well done mate

getting there now looking at the list it could be done in a weekend if you can get a map from someone else

all *seems* ok. fuel pump isnt coming on, shorted the pump straight to +ve and it came on, slight fuel leak from the gauge thread on the regulator but nohting serious.

oh no he didn't.. oh yes he did.

engine ran for the first time today. very rough cos the timing is to whack.. but it ran.

Good stuff, shouldn't be to long now until its running properly.

ahhh well done cracking on good and proper now mate i see, what kinda figure you looking for when fully setup out of curiosity?

105bhp before the turbo goes on. but with all this in place, adding the turbo is gonna be easy peasy.

take it your going for the low boost then with that kind of figure already achieved?

low boost to begin with, then high compression, high boost (my ecu can handle methanol injection)

lol sweet as a nut dude dont u mean low compression high boost though been eagerly following progress on your car for ages good to see it getting there gives me inspiration to crack on with mine when im not doing bloody engine transplants to JTD's :bang:

hi. logged in at a mates house. but no, i mean - high compression, high boost. its going to be a silly engine.. :slayer:
