wholy crap Sam, You have done a lot since I was MIA. Great work in for vid, I wanna hear that sucker spool!!!!

 

I'm squirming looking at those nice suspension components. You like quality.

Hey get some colored duct tape and tighten up that interior.

There, I fixed it!

We've been on the dyno for the past two days ironing out all sort of ECU configuration hickups. ECU logs were sent to Australia and files were sent back and I can finally say, mechanically, the car is running 100%! Starts every single time from the first time, no popping, no cutting, no backfiring (that part was fun), and no foot on gas pedal for the first 5 mins of a cold start to avoid stalling the engine lol



Then the fun began! Stupid me however stuffed the wrong springs in the wastegate. Was aiming for 1.2 bars but only managed to get 0.9 bar of boost for some weird reason. I have Tial's MVR wastegate and here's their spring chart, I put the Black, Blue & Yellow ones as mentioned. I'm either color blind or the chart I'm using is wrong.



There are already 3 springs in it, guess I'm just going to throw in a 4th one when I get my boost controller solenoid hooked up.

 

Can't wait to see some #'s!!

 

I would really love to see some 1/4 times at the track with this setup. Any tracks by you Sam ?

 

Ok.... So you only had 13 lbs of boost instead of 17 lbs.

Ohhhhh, I'm not curious about what you achieved.

Right.

Patience amigos! That turbo is nowhere near boosting
