| Very nice indeed! How does adding the breather filter change the sound of the ABV? |

| Makes quite a loud sort of "whoosh" sound. Could get annoying, but its obviously easy to put on or off. |

| But does adding the breather change the sound much? I already have the pipe disconnected and just wondered if the filter makes much of a difference. |

| No not really, its about the same. The higher boost pressure makes it louder though. |

| One thing to watch is that it doesn't fill the fliter and then drip it onto the turbo. |

| Just a regular maintenance issue I suppose, but it will keep any foreign objects from entering the pipe. |

Finally got around to connecting the rising rate fuel pressure regulator over the weekend.
At standard fuel pressure it was starting to lean out around the 16 PSI mark but with the fuel regulator I took it up to about 18PSI with no problems.
Also upped the standard fuel pressure from 32 PSI to 40 PSI for better atomisation. |

Yep, quite a big difference now in HP.
Should have mentioned that when setting up the fuel pressure regulator I raised the standard pressure (just to see what it would do) in steps until it was 45 to 46 PSI and it started to run rich. The fuel injectors hit their minimum duty cycle so I backed the pressure of to 40 PSI. |

Been a bit slack lately on the web site as I have been on holidays but managed to spend a bit of time working a few things out on KOF33.
Done some interior mods which I will post when I've finished.
Thought I would work out the best position for an oil catch can. Heres the one I selected.

Relocated the radiator overflow bottle to where the anti polution canister was and fitted the oil catch can in its original position.
Fabricated a bracket that bolted on to the existing bracket on the cross member that holds the radiator hose.
Just got to run the lines now to connect it up.
Heres a photo from the passemger side.

Hers another one from the drivers side.
Oh yeh the pastic bottle where the old air intake pipe was is for water/metho injection when I get around to it and yes there are a few bits zipped tied in but brackets will be made to suit.
I have only had to drill holes inside the doors so far for central locking. |

Ok I have the engine bay sorted now and s/steel brackets fitted to hold things in place.
New rising rate fuel pressure regulator as well in matching blue colour.
Why blue, because there are a lot more blue bits available. Oh yeh added a s/steel braided line on the right rocker cover as well.

I dont mind the chrome and it saves a bit of room rather than running rubber hoses everywhere.
Its easier to bend the pipe to fit in quite neatly. Better than black pipe. |

The rising rate fuel pressure regulator allopws me to increase boost safely up to around 18 to 20 PSI if the standard turbo will handle that much. (Already tested it to 18 PSI and had more in it)
They come in different ratios with the one I fitted being 1:1.
What this means is that I can set a normal fuel pressure which I have increased slightly over the standard 32 PSI to 38 PSI and as the boost cuts in it increases the fuel pressure over standard at a rate of 1:1. Say standard fuel pressure is set at 38 PSi at 1 PSI boost it will be 32 +1 = 39, at 2 PSi boost it will be 40 PSi, etc.
This gives better atomisation by the injectors and will prevent high boost lean out conditions occuring.
The small container added with the green cap on it is for Water/Metho injection which I have not connected as yet. The black turbo hoses from the intercooler will be replaced and the injection nozzle assembley fitted in them when I get around to it. I figure the Cappo intercooled is only good at higher speeds when it can get reasonable airflow over it and not at lower speeds. The water/metho injection will overcome this and I might even flkick the intercooler once I am happy with how its going. Water/metho injection has a positive effect at any speed or air temperatures. |

Upgrade the sound system now. About the best I can do without going crazy with modifing body parts.
Sony 4 way 6 1/2 inch 4 way front speakers.
4 inch 2 way splits, kevlar speakers with silk dome tweeters in the the rear.
Found some Kenwood speaker enclosures at a second hand place and ripped the guts out and repainted them and fitted the kevlar speakers.
Mounted on brackets off the seat belt bolts behind the seats. Quite amazing sound for relatively standard speakers. |

| Have a new DVD multi media player fitted now Response brand (JVC) from jaycar. it plays pretty well all types of media and has heaps of inputs & outputs and is digital radio ready. Apart from the screen being suprisingly clear the sound is amazing compared to the Pioneer CD player I had fitted before. I think it is a Digital unit by the clarity. |

There are about seventeen different gauges you can pick from to display including speedo in km/hr. Up to seven can be displayed at once. This pick has three gauges up being MAP pressure, Air Fuel Ratio and Fuel Injector duty cycle in %.
The picture is pretty poor quality (got to practice more) as in reality it is extremely clear and easy to read. You could have a Cappuccino with a digital dash exept for fuel gauge and odometer. |
