topcat 11 Report post Posted June 11, 2009 so, it runs. lots of noise as i've no exhaust pipe,just the down pipe-which ends under my feet. have done a few 'laps' sedately round the local streets.not running many pounds of boost as we are keeping the revs down over the last few days.there are whistling noises from the turbo and LOUD farts from under the car.engine feel light, and responsive.think it does make a difference not having a interior/trim etc so a 100kg less overal. plugged in the computer that ran the e28 project with the programing for that engine.(42lb injectors) was rich in its settings then,so the thinking is that with the 55lb injectors now it will be very rich. planning is to get some K's on the clock and then take it to the dyno for tuning. wastegate is running a 6lb spring so things dont go wrong too soon. today, was alittle different.took it to the local mechanics to get the handbrake adjusted,brakes bled,check things over underneath.basically all loose ends tidied up so we can move onto the interior. the all important airhorns installed,cable-tide afew wires done. on the way home,followed by the mechanics lexus V8 MX5,i pushed it abit,/so was he apart from the large black cloud that eminated from under my car,6psi of boost was rather eye opening. not like the power switch the e28 had,more smooth power kick and the best part it started round 2500 rpm. stalls/coughs/shudders/backfires round the 4000-5000 in the rev range as it tryed to clear its lungs of fuel.(severe over fuelling) but apart from that,i cant wait to crank upto 12psi need to put the interior in; anyone keen to give me a hand?? want to swap out the dash etc to put in the tidyiest bits i have would be fine to muck around on saturday but me knee gave out/pain etc as i needed to lift a auto trans for Brent. cheers m Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Love it. Probably should have come down tomorrow to pick them up, I knew the motorway traffic was bad but didn't realise it was as bad as it was, took a good hour and a half to get down there via Great South Road and find your place in the dark But never mind! Yes she did indeed, was very kind. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
