Project R

Hopefully tomorrow

Ok, so I finally have some good news. After 3 and a half month my sx is up and running again and stronger than ever!! 🙂

* The 750cc injectors are in (got the correct ones)
* The Dicktator has been fixed (twice 😈 )
* Water meth kit is working
* Head has been gas flowed and skimmed

Now, boosting a solid 1 bar on high boost and its feeling really strong. I'l take some pics and post them up when I get a chance.

Shot to Gary and his dad for the good work that they do!

looks like my top spot on the drag ladder is gone now

never mind that, lets organise this breakfast run now before someone else's SX gives them the finger

Changed plugs, swapped out all coils, put orgininal coils back in, then swapped out each one individualy, changed the Dicktator charge time, checked some wiring... no luck 🙁

maybe a candle lit dinner too 😂

😂 😂

I followed the boost pipe all the way and it seems fine to me. Logged the map reading on the tator and it was showing boost. Boost gauge and greddy EBC are showing boost aswell and thats the same pipe.

Ya, gary's thinking it could be something in the fuel system now.

Ok, so i haven't updated in a while so here it goes. Brought my sx to Gary's bacause of a misfire. Turns out there were bigger things at play. My turbo was bust and it had leaked a whole bunch of oil into the intercooler 😕

So, I finaly got the turbo rebuild. Had to replace the bearings and seals, compressor wheel and the shaft 😕 But now its back on the road again and running strong 8)

Here are some pics from a drive up the coast today:

I also came across a SL55 AMG on the way back. It was a fun short run 🙂 I know he tapped off at the end, but it was fun to run with him anyways:
