Exhaust sits much nicer now. Wondering where you purchased your Magnaflow muffler from and how long it took to arrive.

The inside of my rear muffler is broken and looking to replace with a decent quality one once my car is back on the road.

Been playing with it an hour here and there every time I get a chance and have got a little done but haven't been able to finish it due to parts suppliers being closed

Started looking like this

After a bit of measuring and cutting I was able to fit the crank sensor, not the cleanest cut but with the limited room it was the best I could do

Also as a side note I had a 500hp ati blanacer sitting around and it will not fit with this kit and either will the factory balancer. So am going to buy the big ati balancer when then suppliers open back up and try that

  • Like 1

It's not the wheel, it's the bracket that holds the sensor sits proud and the edge of the balancer lines up with it and won't allow the balancer to go all the way home

The bit circled in red is where is hits

Finally got a chance to work on it today and got the crank trigger all wired up and working through the ecu

Here's what it now looks like

Next will be to fit this little puppy

Been a bit slack with the updates but time hasn't really been on my side either,

I got all the interior back in and everything looks as per factory apart from 2 little bumps under the carpet against the sill

Got the ecu to recognize the flex sensor and wideband sensor but haven't enabled them as I will leave that for jez when the car is dropped off to him.

Fitted and wired the 3 bar map sensor but once again I will let jez enable that and hook up the hose, just cause the on board one needs to be disabled at the same time.

Also went to the local United and grabbed 80L of car God juice

Am proud of the sti as it fits 4 jerry cans with space to spare

I just gave it a very over due wash and tomorrow morning it's booked in for a wheel alignment to fix up the castor after installing the rods, then straight up to jez for touch up and then enable the flex fuel to see what these little turbos can do

Tuning has started and one of the first things jez noticed is how smooth the rpm signal is with the crank trigger set up

The blue line is the rpm signal and there is no wave in it what so ever

    • 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 🤷
    • I'd be looking at the mentioned EFR kit, room to turn it up if decide on e85 (which we know you will) and be super responsive and fun on the street.
