Update!

Fuel system is almost completed.

- Aftermarket Industries SP 1200 using 2 of the possible 3 Walbro 460's.

- Speedflow 200 series black braid hose. -10 all round with a -12 breather.

- Had a fuel hat spun up to accept the factory rubber.  (This is away getting machined up to accept the fittings ATM).

- Ethanol sensor in the return line which has a bypass around it. The by pass has a 1 or 2 psi one way valve in it to push as much fuel through the sensor.

- Hypertune rail which got annodised black.

- Bosch 1700 cc injectors.

- 3 X Fuelab 828 series (5 inch long element) fuel filters. 1 is a 40 Micron pre surge tank, the other 2 are 6 Micron in parallel post surge tank.

Got the reground HKS V-Cam back. It started life as a 264 @ 8.7 mm. Duration at 50 thou was 222.xx. It's not a "270 ish" @ 10.25 mm. Duration at 50 thou is 229.54. The Unigroup "260" at 50 thou is 232.34, so a little more agro. That has 10.85 mm. The Base circle went from 32 to 30.1 mm on the modified V cam camshaft.

Unigroup cam left, V cam right.

Unigroup left, V cam right.

Unigroup left, V cam right. You can see the different sizes of the nose between them. Totally different, not to mention all the oil gallery machining going on in there.

Sweet looking fuel setup.....as usual for you overkill is the name of the game!

this is going to be a very scary car when it hits the road!

Means I'll NEVER have to revisit it again. Done!

Can't get into Insight until Feburary.

Haven't spoken to Dennis this week. Hopefully the PS res, the airbox and gate lines are on the to do list.

Gearbox is back out of the car. I wish I knew this before I put the gearbox in, but for those who buy an OS88 in the future, make sure you sort out the breather fitting. They silicon the fitting in and with a little bit of heat the fitting pops out. It makes sense why it was spewing oil out on the dyno and on the road! Box is at Award getting sorted. So, a "cover" on the inside over the breather hole, a tapped thread for the breather fitting so it won't come out. Scott also wants to run a Mercedes Benz gear position sensor so that will go in now. GRRRRR!!!!!

Ross CAS kit was ordered last week.

Godzilla motorsport ignition kit ordered this arvo. Thats another two items off the list.

    • You ask for things. You specifically state you want responsiveness. A link was provided for a far superior, more responsive option. Find a MX5 workshop that will install it for you. Maybe MX5 Mania will throw on the Fab9 kit. It seems they want to charge almost 14K installed for their kit, so if they charge you $6K to install the FAB9 kit then you'll be ahead? Though really, the 2.5 with a 2860 running low boost will more or less feel as good as anything else. It's a lot of displacement and a small turbo. Think of a more modern RB26 with one stock turbo :p TBH, truth be told I've been driving my own car, and use about 50% throttle at most for 99.9% of the time. Mr Bogan is likely similar so this is all going to be semantics for the use case he actually has. (He'll be happy with anything relative to now) However, the EFR is hands down far superior in this use case. You really, really, really, really do notice it over the Garrett or equivalent.  
    • You are correct, the earlier the torque, the earlier things snap
    • Gents, it will be getting the MX5 Mania kit and the 2.5 will be staying where it is My query was about the 0.64 or the 0.86, whilst the 0.64 might spool a bit faster, would the 0.86 be better IRT EGT and mechanical sympathy, with only a small difference in spool And as I assume I won't need alot of boost to get to 200kw, probably around 10 psi, and with max rpm at 6500, would high EGT even really be a issue with a 0.64 I'm heading into MX5 Mania at the end of Jan to discuss the install, so any info is welcome prior to that Basically have a chat and book a time so they can throw on the turbo kit, and fit a oil cooler with a thermostat, drive in drive out of course  In other news: just finished cleaning the car inside and out, it's now all ready to get covered in bugs and dirt driving to Goulburn tomorrow to lunch,  and go for a stroll along woolondilly River with the daughter and her boy, and of course, visit my grandcats and my new grandpuppy 
    • Sounds like it has an actual problem with mode select doors, or something.
    • Hope your all having a mean Xmas! If anyone happens to know any trick to using the insanely complex climate control system, I cannot get it to not be on dual zone no matter how many times I deselect it (will say it's not but both vents blow different temps). Also one side is always hot, one always cold 🤷
