Had a big win today, the exhaust although sounded great under boost was droning and too loud in traffic so I made a holmz heltz resonator chamber.  It's maybe working too good as its super quiet now,  who would of thought a big cannon could be quiet and  cost me nothing ?... my welding is super amateur but it works ...

When I get time I'll make a series of different lengths and fine tune it..

Thats awesome! Welds on an exhaust are just to hold it together and not leak, don't need to look good!

GReat to see a truly budget exhaust and not drone!

Not much update, but shes still alive..

Just doing maintainence and driving it when i can, theres plenty of tweaks needing done such as cam gear adjustments, boost controller doesnt work properly and cold start is rough.

But all things considered its impressive the pull on 1bar from 3000rpm..

Will eventually get a go pro to demonstrate some pulls and drag times..

Im enjoying driving the car but cant help but wonder if i can improve the response. I recorded a few pulls, i want to have it responsive as possible so maybe i need a diff change as well as cam timing play on dyno and boost controller working to get the most out of the setup.. This short clip was a 3rd gear pull from 2000rpm and it just doesnt get stuck in till 4000rpm..tge vid doesnt show but its pulling hard at 3600rpm..

Im thinking a 3.7 ratio may help...hmm

Decided to do some heat management, the tial gate has changed from black into purple.. 

Also got some bungs put in the dump so i can later get a wideband and exhaust temp guage hooked up... 

I noticed there was  no duty cycle dialled in for low end spool so i set it to 100% uptil 3k rpm and its alot better but there no traction from 3.5krpm,  its badly needing a diff and setup to lay it down...

Car developed a rattle noise on cold start, so ordered a brand new VCT gear and solnoid.  Fitted them up after fitting the ring to make the VCT adjustable again.  Fired her up and noise has gone.

Will find out soon, waiting on a new battery as sitting so long has stuffed the battery..

Chasing an issue where it fires on 5 cylinders, what would cause cylinder 3 to not fire? Ive changed plugs, new coil and now coilpack harness.

Injectors? 

Had a problem with a 33 had intermittent firing issues on cyl 3 but was something broken in the head. Would be ok sometimes then die sometimes.

Battery finally arrived, decided to splash out and get something decent.  Shes a D34 yellow top, 750cca should be enough grunt.  The battery tray i think will need widened but will be fine.

Also got some more Mobil and zddp additive, even 0-40w and she doesnt use any oil ?

Could be but there new injectors, before the VCT replacement it would randomly not fire cyl 3 on cold start but after 5mins fire all 6. 

Once batteries in ill check the coil is sparking and maybe take the injector out.

Just unplug the coil and if it doesnt change unplug the injector

Got the shits with this 5cylinder start ups so now shes at the tuners.

But now apparently it wont start at all, bloody cars.. the day before i checked the injectors, coils all fired, plugs mint, did a comp test, motor cold.

Cyl 1-6: 165,170,175,175,168,170

So happy with that considering the tomei cams drop about 25psi off.

So hoping its a cheap fix but im thinking ecu maybe giving up, if so im gonna get a haltech elite 2000 or 2500 ?

Had a few good squirts on the way, ripping 2nd never gets old..

Its been a while, i got the shits and left it parked in the shed.

Recently i pulled the injectors out and had them cleaned.  I was told that it took 80psi just to get them to open, was almost a throw away deal.  Probably cause i left it parked for months, when i dismantled the fuel system i could feel the stickiness of parts.

So i replaced reg, fuel lines, filter and injectors cleaned and she starts on all 6 now with very little cranking.

Probably need a retune now, doesnt smell of fuel and very little knock on the power fc so must be close.

I missed the sound of it coming on boost, is like a jet aircraft, plenty of fun ????

Had it at the tuners for a check up and turns out there is dramatic difference in the fuel pressure between the new reg and the stock reg so shes been running lean.  On the dyno she sprung a big coolant leak at the back of the head so on the tow truck home...

Now i have to pull the motor half out to fix what i think is a welch plug backing out.

That sinco mani and 3076 though.... ????

    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Comparison of the 2: Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
