Project...underway

The manifold blowing sound horrible and that should be sorted too this weekend...they can not map it if its blowing at the 02 sensors wont work properly...but we can do that at the same time.
I'm really interested to see what this who system can do on the current turbo...Might go bigger long term (which is why we went big cooler to start) but.....lets see what happens

As I say did not want to ask Incase you thought I was looking for faults. It's a winner by looks alone to me was am just interested

Now always happy for the questions - trust me we were doing the same when working it all out!!! nothing wrong we healthy challenge...its always constructive in the end.

I'll get some pics up tomorrow when the sun is out hopefully..... with the bumper on she looks incredible. When it comes up behind you people will think what the hell......

If I were you I would ditch the cheap stainless manifold in favour of a stock one which has been ported!
you will see better results on the dyno and it wont crack or distort under heat like many of the cheapo type manifolds do

Food for thought...Need to cure the blow 1st...might end up with new manifold anyway now! keep fingers crossed...with this glitch we forgot new pics....will be up during the week.
Final out come to follow :O)

Thank god!!!!!! Just had the call.....The manifold is pucker still...no cracks no nothing....the bolts have sheared inside the block after the heilcoils let go. A fairly simple fix!!!

Its being done now...also found the air intake has a restriction in it which is also being taken off.

I'm feeling pretty happy right now...I feared the worst but seems I've got lucky

keep you posted when she's all finished and how the Syvec S6 and mapping goes!

Final project pics due anytime now - soon as she rolls back out of the garage for the last time this year (fingers crossed)

What was intake restriction ?

Probably a small boy sucked in from where the bumper has been cut

It's always good to know as getting new intake soon I hope. So must spec it not to big it sucks small children or trees up

The air intake restriction was something between the Air filter and the Turbo...so I have a 2.5inch intake pipe which went to the down pipe and some sort of restriction going to the turbo then opened up again....not really understand the technical side of it. Anyway they have fabricated a new intake pipe, down pipe and filter to address this.

I've sent a screen shot of the current work sheet over to Nomad to throw up just to give you an idea of the final work currently going on and all the kit we are fitting...I wont give away the final cost.
But its a special car and deserves the time and money spent on it to take it to the next level.

Sorry for the delay just finished making a decat for my mates diesel van and took longer than i thought ....

no problem!!

I think so far we are up to 15hours of labour on top of the parts....we have another 15 hours of major prep work and between 4-6 for the mapping.

Then I need to re fill the piggy bank too!!

I get a nice labour break down at the end of each day so I can see the build happening :O)
A nice touch I thought from these guys...

A slight delay on final pictures and collecting car...My Girl Friend had our 1st baby on Wednesday at 9pm...so its been a busy week.
