Well, I had fun today.... Put in the new battery and fresh terminals and and.... They I flip the ignition and pffffffffttttttTtt........ Petroll everywhere. So I had to strip the fuel rail and take out some spacers sothat I tighten it up a little more..... Now atleast I have tested the fuel rail with upto 5bar pressure and it WORKS. YAY
Other than that my day was pritty chilled. Tomorrow I should get her starting though so should be a good day....
Wish me luck
Yay, I started her today, she started purring like a sick kitten, but a kitten non the less...
Now I will have to check the timing and after that give her a good enough to get to the tuner map, den she is good to go.... I just hope I can get that all done before friday
O ye and the new clock set setup still has to go in
This is a historic day !!!!

Well done....hope you get it done before friday....!!!
car looks amazing but one rant why on earth did you use the white covering i think black would look alot neater but big ups everything looks great
@Draco - Shot cuz, once again, much appreciated... Ye I hope so too, all I need to do Litteraly is get the dash in, check the timing, and take her for a Dyno (which is actually the problem, can't get off this week, dang)
@Poizen - Because that's the way, uha uha, I like it, uha uha !!!! Shot cuz, I was going to do it in clear tubing sothat you could see the wiring inside, but the tubing was to tight to fit in most places, and wanted to be different....
hahahaaha poweder you should use clear heat shrink then
but looking good when will it be fin
wat colour are you painting the tappit cover
Hmmm, clear shrink sleeving sounds like a plan.... Well I got a lot of things on between now and christmas so for now on hold, but go on leave on the 20th so will start up / continue again that weekend onwards. Will be ready for whipping latest 7th Jan weekend time. Just don't know if the new turbo will be in yet by then, everything else should be though, o and the coilovers might not be in yet either, that depends on bonus ha ha ha....
Tappet cover remains a secret till u see it 🙂
OK, now I need some advice, manual boost controller or electronic? I have a camozzi manual boost controller but am kinda scared to attempt using it, have heard some scary stories about tuners blowing motors trying to tune with manual controllers....
What u guys think?
i had a manual it used to spike to 1.2bar befor going down to .8
got myself a hks evc5 ill never look back
Electronic its more tunable and controls ur boost much better you are able to tune it on ur rev range of the management
On a manual boost controller you can set a solinoid to give you 2 settings

If you can afford electronic...why the question....?????????? 🙄 😉
If you can't, I've used manual since I can remember and I have never been part of the scary stories...a good tuner will always compensate for over boosting wow always slightly rich to compensate.
In most cases where over boosting happens it is directly connected to your wastegate and wastegate spring.... 😉
Thats my unadulterated opinion.... 😂
There is a 2nd hand electronic I was thinking of taking but didn't know if it would be a waste or not. Well looks like I will be taking it now 🙂 Thanks for the info guys.

most times on a manual controller, you can just remove the ball and spring (designed to help spool the turbo faster) to eliminate boost spike...
a boost spike shouldnt damage your motor, what you really dont want is boost creep...
all the dyno graphs that ive seen showed that power delivery is smoohter with a manual controller... electronic tends to over compensate the whole time, so you never really get the boost you want but a fluctuation of to much followed by to little.. can also clearly be seen if you log boost
im always gonna prefer manual - specialy the TS dual stage, nice aggresive boost ramp with steady boost
A'PEXi Baby !!!

Well just went through the entire user guide, wiring guide and installation instructions, and basically it's about 100 pages of sh1+ that could probably be squeezed into 10 pages.
This thing is amazing, besides giving you 2 selectable boost settings, you can settup your boost per RPM range, per gear, and even to spike on push button switch, this thing kicks A$$..... Dang, cant wait to get it in.
Besides that, my car should be atleast road tuned by tomorrow, good news that is...
Thanks Smoothedgp.....
I had the same kit in my 350 bhp s13 and it's a very good bit of kit! Enjoy it!
Noooooiiiisssse!!!
Shot @ djtreble + Draco
Always nice to have confirmation of a good choice.... 😀
Today my blutooth micro keyboard with integrated touch pad finaly arrived for my carputer... Wohoo.... Will post a pic later.... 😀 😈
Here it is as promised, and just a little bigger than my Crackberry....
