Yaaaaayyyyy!

Finally running, bet it felt good to hear it.

I thought this day would never come lol

I was starting to think the day would never come too :/ BUT its here and it runs...... Apart from a few little issues like a fuel leak and sticky thermostat etc its running smoothly.......

The cams are smoother than i thought which is awesome, itll suit the stealth theme :D Itll be quiet and not sound like a tractor soon once the exhaust is back on!

Well tune wont be complete today :( But the hold up has been the exhaust shop so it doesnt matter....... I know its in the best possible place!

Apparently with the half tune on E60 and low boost its already making in the 280's so hopefully good things to come tomorrow, time will tell i guess.

They reckon it sounds like a baby T51r too which is what i thought, AWESOME :woot:

E-Flex is only E70ish so i assume that means less power than if it was true E85? But at the end of the day the clutch is likely to fail over a certain KW anyway so i am sure it will be fun!

Yes Things are coming along nicely , and may I say bring on the high boost.

So, it will be finished on Monday.... Bugger.... But still, really happy with everything so far :D

The official figures at the moment are 283rwkw on only gate pressure of 1 bar so should make a nice amount of power on the full tune with another 6-7 psi and E85 :yes:

Saw your car today, looks nice. Should see well into the 300s on E85 and 20ish psi.

Thanks man! Appreciate it...

Hope yours went well? Adam will give it a tune on Monday and see how the thing goes with the quiet exhaust!!

Like Legal 90db type quiet.... It's 3inch with high flow car but had big Jasma approved mufflers which I am sure are a restriction.... It's a

Sacrifice that you gotta make on a street car though to get it legal I guess... :)

Still running on the dyno but couldnt be happier with the first result today -

320rwkw on only 15psi! I am so impressed!

So you know you wanna swap cars with me yeah?? Yours is done now, that's no fun, mine still has plenty for you to mess with :P

Seriously though man, awesome result. Hurry up with the graph, I wanna see what the curve looks like! I like the glovebox too, looks mad. Personally wouldn't like the wideband hidden away like that but I'm just jelly :laugh:

Hahaha i have been playing with cars for too long, time to actually try driving one :P

Yeah i am MORE than happy, i am kind of shocked....

Its all about the stealth theme :ph34r:

congrats Matt,

Can't wait to check this car out in person.

Thanks Mate, pretty happy with the result!

Will be happy to show you on one of the SAU_Newy meets or cruises etc

    • Everything I found online said never use it because it'll dramatically reduce belt lifespan.  No, but I have seen excessive v-belt tension cause the audible bearing noise from excessive radial load in things like alternators. So don't overdo it. Ideally you set it to manufacturer spec using a proper belt tension guage. I tried the "clicker" type gauges but those cheap things are trash. They read way too low even when you're careful.
    • This is kind of where I've ended up for the most part. It's easier for me, easier for shops that don't have to deal with my weird criteria/picky standards, etc.
    • Will do. Suprised if it's not the starter motor considering it's 30 years old. Will get a volt meter though. Battery is close to new.   Cheers for your help, always appreciated.
    • This almost never happens these days. No. Clean your battery terminals and make sure they are tight. Use sandpaper on a dowel if you have to, to get oxidation off the inside of the terminals, particularly on the -ve. Check the earth cable from battery post to chassis ground and engine ground. Make sure the contact surfaces are clean - including the threads on the bolts that anchor them - because that's where a lot of the contact occurs. Wire wheel on a drill is a good thing for this. Make sure the crimps on those cables are all sound. Assuming none of that causes an improvement: Check the battery voltage after it has been resting for a while. If it's at the lower end of the range, put it on charge for a while, then see if it will crank better.
    • I just checked my belt, it wasn't super loose but I could bend it past 90 degrees a small amount so I tightened it up and for the first time ever my car didn't crank first time, had to crank it again lol. Don't know if that was because I tightened the belt or if it's my starter motor going out (been having slow starts for some time). Coulda also been when I was recording I didn't crank the key properly and it didn't save the recording lol.   Is that a thing if you overtighten a belt it struggles to start?
