I am questioning the need for a bigger turbo

Never question the need for a bigger turbo
Good to hear your upgrades are going according to plan.
Hope to get another day in at Knockhill soon

Cheers

Yeah another day with a load of us up would be cool.

ECU fun time



Connector out



Plug opened



Pins out, new coil wires run in.



Pins back in



Coil loom through a handy grommet



Coils, a new low of photography even from me. Power supply into the old coil plug courtesy of Alex's research, used the original pins just swapped the plug.



Started modifying the AAN cam cover for a breather vent



Some Motul RBF600 will hopefully help with brake fluid problems



I need to finish the internal vents in the cam cover breather, swap the cam cover, check the head studs torque and hopefully she will fire right up.

Well done mate, you bit the bullet

The pin swap is a giggle eh?

[andy10v]

Yeah, not fun, sore back, fingers and ribs, patience rather tested.

[newsh]

We love our cars don't we

[andy10v]

I will answer that once it starts

[Error404]

Cool, so that connector was a straight fit into the 3B harness?

[K Simmonds]

Watching your progress with great interest, nice one for taking the time for pic's and writing up what's involved

Hope it all goes smoothly from here!

[zafra]

+1000

[andy10v]

Yup, it was perfect Alex, thanks again

Thanks gents, hopefully it fires right up and it will all seem worthwhile.

[Error404]

Hope so

[Error404]

Oh **** I forgot about that VSS signal wire!
I will do it tonight

[andy10v]

Oh **** I forgot about that VSS signal wire!
I will do it tonight

I had just assumed I had lost it.

Does it need VSS anyway?

[andy10v]

Cam cover off again, head stud torque checked



New gasket on modified AAN cam cover



Coils on


Stuck now as I need a new throttle body gasket, also the throttle body hits the AAN cam cover, so I guess its wagner time! I also need to take the radiator out to modify my breather setup.

So new plan is;
wagner intake
ABY fuel rail
make boost hose from intercooler to throttle body
make ISV extension pipe
fit swirl pot
new breather setup

Also adjustable top mounts arrived
