Hi Chris nice spec - what turbo are you going for? Cheers Alistair

You do not need a new ECU as your OEM denso ECU is capable of being reflashed and is more than adequate unless you want to go nuts. (I am still using one on a 460 BHP car). If you have a panel filter and a decent decat exhaust, a fairly sensible remap should take you to around the 270 bhp mark. However I suggest thinking carefully about your power goals/budget and then mod and tune towards it. I have spent years gradually modding and mapping my own development car and spent many a pound sterling in the process and would have saved alot of money if I had decided what my goals were from the outset and then built to that spec from day 1! Mind you, it has been alot of fun! Cheers Alistair

the hatch marks can be found on the top of the drivers side engine casing in front of where the oil pressure feed from the oil gallery is and also underneath the casing on the housing for mounting the modine.

Craig did you get this sorted just out of curiousity? Alistair

You may find that the car was mapped by prodrive to prevent over-boost in a high load/high gear/mid range condition causing a drop off in boost target and waste gate duty cycle. I assume the boost also tapers to 1.2 bar at the redline? Cheers Alistair

I run one my track car and it works perfectly. The pressure loss on the older design was not great but the more recent tube and fin design is much improved. There is alot of snobbery about them but there is nothing wrong with them for the money in my view.

Try Steve Whitson at SW Motorsport 07956119962. He has built many closed deck block units and may have some spare parts in the workshop. Cheers Alistair

Generally it's the torque that kills 5 speeders, even the later TY54 models. I was running 401lbft of torque on one, in my own car which I never launched, accelerating in 3rd at about 70% throttle and doing 60-70 mph and stripped 3rd gear. You will find that non DCCD 6 speed boxes are cheaper. I recently sourced a non DCCD 6 speed box from an 02 wrx with prop and diff, linkage etc for £1,500. Cheers Alistair

interesting - might have a butcher's at the trial version

Hi Paul are you still using Romraider as well just out interest? Cheers Alistair

oh booger - I think i have deleted it when trying to upload another clip. Will upload again.

Cheers John and thanks for arranging a great event as usual

Hi Folks - some quite amusing footage from the wagon today. Had to retire unfortunately due to a cracked exhaust manifold and issues with front brake caliper but a great afternoon anyway. Jac- thanks again for the lower brace advice - it may a big difference with slicks http://www.youtube.com/user/trackhoundtuni...l/1/HiAYi_QZJdM

you need to get the plastic inserts from a JDM wrx wagon which does not run with roof rails in order to fill in the gaps left

Here's a short video shot from my car.

Those are cracking shots - there's a couple of wagon I'd like to save but can't seem to save the files from flickr? Is it set up to prevent the images being copied? Cheers. Alistair

Yeh the slicks had seen better days I'm afraid. Roll on the toyos!

good to meet you too. sorry to hold up the session with my flat tyre!

doh - you're right it's the 8th!

Hi folks - just wandering who is heading up to knockhill next saturday? Cheers Alistair

Hi guys yes it's my turbo as I have upgraded to an MD321T and you're right those figures were on my 2.5 on the hypertech rollers. Cheers. Alistair

Hi Paul - Alistair here - the guy in the blue wagon. Thanks for the footage. That's one quick evo of yours - really enjoyed sparing with you. Forgot how wet it was until seeing the video! Also didn't realise I get intermittent flaming between gear changes! I think it is the 4th video in your post where I appear. I couldn't get the first one to work. Are you going to the track day in August?

suspect it is for cooling purposes

Does anyone know the chap with the Black Evo who was on the track? The car was trucking quick. We had some boowsoot jousting on the track and he was recording the session. I almost lost it a couple of times keeping ahead of him. He paid me a visit in the pits to exchange some respect but I couldn't remember his name in the haze of vpower and methanol. :lol would be great to see his video footage.

Interesting - so nothing to do with your cats then. Re the high IAT code p113 - does the car by any chance have the standard airbox removed? If not it sounds like you may have a faulty MAF. Re P340 Fuji Heavy Industries produced a bad batch of cam sensors for the early newage cars so this can be a common problem. I had the same problem on my car so I replaced it and all was fine. If either of these sensors are faulty this will impact your performance. Neither are cheap unfortunately. If you can it might be worth borrowing the sensors from a friends car if possible to validate the fix before splashing out.
