Friday 21st March
About due another quick update for you all.
The car is running without oil leaks now, that problem has finally been sorted (about time too) still need to discuss with them the damage that they caused and get it repaired
The car is now booked in again at Xspec where whe engine was initially put in so that they can do a preliminary map on it due to:
Overfuelling (almost 50 miles done- 1/3 tank used)
High idle speed - no change when cleaning stepper motor (sure its not faulty) and tweaking the small adjuster by the throttle cable
General lumpyness here and there that needs ironing out.
Then with this done i can get 1-2k miles in before going back for the full on mapping once the engines run in a bit.
Pulls really well already, taken a few local peeps from the site out for a quick taster.
Anyway: the procomp is now fitted, had to do some chopping of the carbon and also on the samco hose (Dad to the rescue)
Morette wiring is tidied up fairly well now as this was a mess before- Alex_VTS gave me a helping hand yesterday doing this and some general tidying (nice one mate)
Catch tank is fitted, dad made a bracket for that. Its not plumbed in fully yet as im yet to find some decent hosing for it, so excuse the standard supplied stuff thats quickly attached in the pics- black hose needed)
The KMS display/wiring/plugs etc still need doing and running into the car, but theres no point me doing this until its been mapped at xspec next week.
Bigger battery also needed as the 1.0 one which ive been using is just 340Amps starting power so takes a few extra turns over before firing up. 470Amps needed which is the rating on Alex's VTS
