Calibra CweLET

[DjWhitelion]

looks awesome buddy.
But.
what did you do to your ECU. And why?

Im thinking of making a digital speed dash for my calibra 90mod 8v. Do you know if the speed info can be extracted from the ECU
or do i need to make a sensor do it all?

[UndYinG]

Ive changed chips in my ECU and phase 3 requieres some modifications, soldering n stuff. You can google a bit on digital speedo, not possible from the ecu, your car gets speed info from your gear pinion and cable, so you will need pinion with sensor.

This week she is going to visit a mechanic.



I'll write when head falls down

[UndYinG]

Last week she went to visit ex owner.



Since engine work is going very slowly, I've had to spend some of its budget!



8400 from 2003 was temporary solution, now its 2004 , color display, DSP with TA etc...

[UndYinG]

Third piston got melted, others are measured including other 3 bores, everything is in factory tolerance. My bad, prolly got lean and i drove it over 7k rpm that day so it got hot...

[UndYinG]

Got some parts from Germany, ARP rod bolts, rest parts are factory standard...

Powdercoated some parts, anthracite with sparkles hahah

[UndYinG]

Its been A WHILEEEEEE

[UndYinG]

I have decided to visit my friend and help him assemble my car. Traveled 250 kilometers via bus carrying turbo in my bag . So i was not going back without my car

Day one

Parking the car in the garage, enjoying recaro seats and pumping lumbar support . Fitting standard ecu and putting back the glove box. Changing coolant pipe with metal one.



His godfather came later to finish the engine, he is the one who did the full rebuild, busy man with a lot of knowledge. I was washing the parts while they checked the transfer box and changed the viscous coupling, other bits were fine.




Mounting the txb, oil sump and washing oil mesh.



Putting the engine in, mounting steering fluid pump and AC compressor for like 3 times back n forth because of the belt n other stuff we forgot .



Day two

Putting back the steering pump, ac comp, tensioner and finally the belt. Connecting hoses, wiring loom and stuff.



Engine started after about 3 seconds we've had to change 1 fuel hose. Engine runs perfect, all the tappets became quiet after about 15mins. Filled and bled the steering system and finished other bits. Everything works fine, engine runs really great. Fuel pressure regulator is standard so as injectors and everything for now. Engine is standard, third cyl has a sleeve others were fine by measurement, changed third piston, rings and cr bearings. Drove the car back home that night.



Finally together



When i get time ill clean it thoroughly, no rush.

Big thanks to my friend and his godfather for doing amazing job on assembling the engine. They were very lazy, for almost 2 years they were working maybe 7days including 2 with me just to put the engine back in

Nice job! Another one saved!

[UndYinG]

Decided to paint door handles and put some "music" in - my way



[/quote]

Rear tweeters and painted handles


Changed to oem wheels, painted front bumper trim


got decibel number plates, had to finish my 2year old trunk setup


One gauge "glass" was broken so i made new ones spherical and ultra glossy


I will put in bigger amp for my compo systems instead of this tiny on the right and then i can finish upper cover as planed long time ago


New fuel hoses, filled the ac but after one day gas came out, compressor is leaking


Shirts are ready for Serbian Calibra Day. In the meantime ive bought clutch cable but it wont fit, will fit it on brown cali, ordered new type from Germany. Removed AC compressor will fit new seals and put it back tomorrow and we're ready for teh summer

[UndYinG]

Repaired AC compressor, no more leaks for about 2 months, havent got time to write earlier

Changed all the fluids


Ordered otto-modell 1/18 magnetic blue same as mine. Its may 2017 modell made in 1250pcs



Old school retro, Ive tried pioneer ipod adapter and its great, nice sound since its IP-bus controlled input. Digged out my old steering wheel remote just for fun like in old times



More powder coating and some painting.



Got new clutch cable from germany, new model, oiled with silicone oil as per instructions



Trunk is progressing nicely and slowely. Lots of measuring, drawing, CNC cutting. Its hard to draw it since trunk shape is challenging.




And i made myself an monument hahah



I have to sand the edges, letters etc. Laser cut some plexiglass and I line it with the board by forcing it in



Some under bonnet painting



One pic of calibra meet SM serbia



Polished forge blow off



Friend dropped by

[UndYinG]

Front bumper was cracked so I've swapped it with the green one , fitted FMIC without pipes for now and polished whole car.









Old bumper used for short time. Got 55w xenon h1 low beam




Polished remus, spent about 5 hours polishing , minor changes to my "tomb" in the trunk haha will put some LEDs when I get time






Took out center gauges so I can use middle vents, traveled a lot and AC works good.

New batter terminal and 50mm2 + for the alternator.


TXB piston seal has failed, not know cause


Since im 2WD for now, I might lower it a bit, I've bought new 17" wheels and p zero nero 215/40 tires, when i get time I'll fix txb and probably get a camber kit if i decide to lower it.





And few pics from vacation

[UndYinG]

Changed the wheels, havent got time to try some rear lowering


Bought used hybrid and reconditioned it, im slowly getting ready for high boost. Amal valve is leaking so ima put MBC and drive standard boost.



Im testing BT A2DP streaming + Handsfree, mic is in its temporary position, so far so good.




Finally my model has arrived, its so detailed!1!

Some random photos





Hybrid turbo and walbro 255lph




Last summer I've bougt this modifield TXB





A month ago I've managed to put it on the car, it works just fine, now pressure plate seal CANNOT FAIL :

I have found these 17" used wheels, ordered 'em immediately, when package arrived i realized wheels are chinese so I've returned it. Learned there are no original 5x110 17" just 18" so i got ***** and got 18s



Got new nankang ns2 ultra sport 215/35R18









PK Tuning show #2 august 2018



Finally I've had to break seal's on my oldschool amp to do minor soldering, now both amps are open, too bad one PCB is green not blue like the other



So far so good, walbro still sleeps under my desk , today I've put SAAB Reds

[Cliff]

Some awesome pics, nice car
