AAN Powered 80q

The injectors are just 440s I picked up as per our emails and its a cheap mani, hopefully sould be fine!

And the whistling is coming from the inlet side somewhere, and changes with throttle position

Check the wastegate to downpipe accordion looking pipe has the arrow showing flow direction is orientated correctly as iv heard this causing an annoying whistling noise.

All looking really good, Launch control sounds great fun.

A few notes:
1. The injectors are not RS2 injectors. So it might run a bit rich with the map you have.
2. The exhaust manifold, if it's that china replica of the wagner one, then it's not very good. If it's the real thing, then forget I said anything.

Apart from that. I agree with the above poster

Pure sex i would say.

Scrubs up well

Few teething problems - top turbo oil feed leaks, it's got a horrendous whistling sound coming from somewhere that is affected by throttle postition, can't work it out and the launch control is permanently enabled as I'm missing a road speed wire for the ECU. MOT time next week, will almost certainly fail on various niggly **** so I'll get as much as I can sorted between now and then!

Means I can have the radiator where it's meant to be, and it say "racing" on it so it makes it really fast

Standard RS2 VS S2 turbo pic



Had to start modifying tools to fit the bloody thing!



Got it mostly back together



That inlet was a nightmare to fit as the throttle fouled the power steering pump so I had to make an adapter, which left very little room for radiator hoses!



Did a bit of subtle beautifying...





And now I'm just waiting for my ECU back from Estonia, some coolant and some petrol!



...Then clutch and MOT

What is the advantage of this IM for Dahlback?

[martinws]

Looking good so far. Remember brake upgrades if you haven't addressed them yet. Get the ground leg pics up as well.

Since my last update -

The new rear cosmetic bits




Then since the MOT expired I thought it was the ideal time to RS2 it



There's always one pain in the **** manifold nut, took an hour to drill that sodding thing!




Standard S2 vs RS2 manifold pic



Bought the wrong turbo twice trying to do it cheap, then bought the right turbo, then found a better one and sold the right one




Bought the wrong exhaust meant for a B4 which goes under the subframe, B3 goes over, so sick of buying the wrong stuff I just made it right!






Put the grinder in my leg grinding welds down (not for the first time) I'll spare you the pics

Started putting it back together



And that's where we're up to for now, waiting on the new turbo and a few other little bits and bobs in the post

[Jolfa]

Nah you wouldn't have, I live the **** end of nowhere and only ever drive out in that car maybe once a week

[cadiddy]

Yeah, over in leedstown just up the road from hayle, my missus lives in helston, suprised i've never seen your car around tbh

[Jolfa]

Black Diamond really struggled to find the correct rotors for me, there's very slight differences between V6/20v/80/90/Coupe, got there in the end though

And yep that's a Falmouth boat, I'm in a little village near Helston, are you local?

And yeah, Pro Race 3, poor mans Compomotives

[lcsmith]

That is a Cab bumper (same as B3 Coupe) with pretty much the entire plastic frame removed to house the cooler, don't have any pics, just trial and error and some creative angle grinding

The seats came from Scotland via eBay, don't know where they came from originally before that!

I'll take some up to date pics when I get back, it now has the competition rear spoiler and S2 rear bumper. Bit the bullet and bought the replica extentions off eBay, which fit like ****, horrible waste of money, they're not cheap!

Thanks for the info mate!

Plenty of pics is always a good thing!
