| That could very easily be the pressure drop across the intercooler. |

Spent the arvo, changing oil and testing the new setup, but i think i've hit a wall. I need to give my test vids another going over but the latest batch of mods haven't appeared to have done much. While the launch does appear to be miles better, there is a slightly longer hesitation before a bigger kick comes in but the 0-60 times are only fractions better. Prior to the last package i was getting 7.5 secs with 0.75/0.8bar boost i'm now getting maybe 7.2secs at the new 0.6/0.65bar. The kicker is that even after turning it up to 1bar i still only appear to be getting 7secs. Conditions were maybe 4 degree's warmer on the same section of road as the before tests with practically zero wind. So feeling is i either have a very small leak somewhere in my new piping (very unlikely) or the fueling isn't right. It does look like theres a slow spot in the rev range but again i need to analyse the vids further to confirm this.
Odd though when the only restrictions i thought were the stock cooler and the exhaust manifold.
I'm thinking though if my car has an L1 resistor fitted to the emmsions wiring, would it make sense to pull this and make the car run one step richer, a: for peace of mind but also to see if a lil more power can be gained. |

I still got bugs to sort out, but I kinda have the same impression on mine about the boost not changing things that much. Going from 0.7-0.8 to 1.0bar didn't seem to make a lot of change, but I'm planning on running more later (1.4b).
It might come from the ignition map on my Adaptronic that is not well tuned, but it could be normal, I don't know.
By the way, why don't you turn up the boost a bit ? |

Without cans and other tuning equipment i dont want to take the engine past 1 bar. This engine has seen a few failiures and has had the head skimmed close to its maximum now, it has a 2.2 gasket but i think with the amount thats been removed from the head the compression ratio is still high. Hence me fitting the larger intercooler, i wanted the denser air but without the high pressures.
Odd thing is i've tried all maner of boosts on different cappo engines and normally the change from 0.7 to 1 bar has been a lot more noticable and once had the wastegate pipe fail and had it overboosting upto 1.5 on a totally stock engine and that was rapid.

I can confirm 1.5 bar on a standard Cappo is insane!
Is the increase in intercooler size, and therefore spool time, but a quicker 0-60 at a lower boost setting not proof that the package is working? Admittedly, as you say, you would expect better results when boosting to 1 bar like you get on a standard car. |

I'll admit that there's an improvement, just not what i had expected. I'm sure i'm just at the max that the fueling will give. Perhaps the 1 bar has taken it too lean and i would see the same perormance and less possible piston melting at say 0.8 bar.
I think its time to start getting the cash and final bits needed to get the adaptronic fitted and tuned, that ecu would truly benefit from these mods. |

The adaptronic and some wide band and your cooking  Strange that the blue coating on the manifolds not worked and the black does  |

| I know, my setup is pushing the stock ecu to its absolute max. I'm going to turn the turbo back down to standard and just prepare for a tuning day. Trouble is not many peeps mention specializing in the adaptronic ecu round here i think there's one other side of dunmow but thats it for east of england. |

a decent tuner should be able to handle the mapping of an adaptronic. I will be going with a MS though, on the basis that there's a much bigger backing for them here. I can't say I understand all the electronic crap mind, just going by what some clever folk have told me  |

| I got the impression a mega squirt was a little cruder, the adaptronic has some pretty cool features and there's a few bods here that can easily help with the install, I think Don is even running the same setup as you. |

| There are certainly a lot more Adaptronic Cappos than MegaSquirt. |

Spent yesterday, fibreglassing and repairing and improving the rear bumper, but while i had the bumper off realised how totally over the top the car width to tyre width ratio was
I'd say thats pretty aggressive.
At a later date i may get a pair of 8J's made up with a slightly improved offset, there's still an inch of clearance with the strut. |

I'm still not a fan of the exhaust, but the rest is just lovely 
Those tyres look so wide, oh my. What size is that already ? |

Reminds me of my brothers old supra, 275's inside the arches XD
And yeah, there's a fair few tuned Cappo's in Aus, hence the backing for adaptronic. But as for backing of the actual ECU goes, I know a lot more people comfortable with MS tuning around my area.
Cappo is looking sweet though buddy |

Haven't sorted the door yet  but i think 've got someone on the case getting a piston made up, but in the meantime i bought the car a lil something to finish off the menacing thingy its got going on.
Does my bum look big with this?
and the view from the rear view mirror :S

I think the shape is spot on, but possibly a little too wide versus the car?
Does it stick out on either side? Can't tell from the photos.
I particularly like the way you've mounted it, the brackets look angled slightly, I think it adds to the look.
Can it get any higher? (Vertically)
Cheers

No its about 1.43m wide without the end plates, my rear tyres are approx 1.44m outside to outside and the rear flares are about 1.46m outside to outside, it just fits
I can raise it about another 10mm but that then pushes it back another 10mm or so and that sits too far back. I could've got the 15" legs like lozzy has but thats far to high for the car. I recon i've got it spot on and although i wasn't looking for extra downforce (just looks) i think its positioned perfectly with the blade catching the air flow off the roof and the centre bump flowing air back over the lower boot lip. At speed the car is a lil less bumpy now, its possible the assistor springs on the rear shocks are now loaded up a fraction more which is nice.
It has a couple of extra benefits too as the car is a lot easier to see when parked up so hopefully no more reversing into it, plus its a handy shelf to place my Maccy D's when i'm unlocking and opening my car up. |

Well the cars had its repairs, the doors are now back up, down and working fully after removing the old hinge and replacing it with one of my spares, with the new piston and gob fulls of grease its sooooo smooth. The turbo was fixed using the chamber from a damaged suzi sport turbo and pressure is back upto 0.7 / 0.75 at standard, the goes way faster now but cant do any tests yet as my engine is still labouring (think a cylinder lining is on its way out).
No pics yet but as soon as i get a chance i'll get some more taken. |

Ok well new bits fitted and a couple of things tweaked and a few more will be tweaked tomorrow.
I've been getting really bad fuel consumption and I thought the engine was getting a touch hotter than it should, so I checked the timing and found it at 6.5 - 7 degree's instead of 5, so that's been sorted and the A/F duty will be sorted tomorrow.
Now the good bits, crap pics I'm afraid;-
And I trimmed the wing a bit so its not so mental I think it may need the end plates now.

It's been a while since any pics (plenty on facebook )
So I thought i'd post them here too.
Not much has been done on the car this year, except the new front end, the addition of the carbon bonnet catch guards and some carbon wing end plates. The bumper though was a pretty big project, involving removing and temp fixing and filling of the take off bumper then cutting some sections out that I didn't like. I then took a five part mold of the bumper and after getting that as perfect as I could I cast a new bumper using carbon and a few other special materials. The end result was a bumper that had a strong finish but as shock proof and resilient as a plastic bumper. Good job too as I spun the car a week after fitting and bent one corner into the wheel arch, had it been made of GRP it would've been completely destroyed. The next stage was make a splitter to match but that could be easily removed and replaced should any speed bumps catch me out. All in the two parts weigh as much as the original take off bumper

Only 3 in this country and only a few worldwide so I know that with other mods this car is 100% unique. |
