LET the rebuild begin

[bodgetastic]

Seing as you asked so nicely

Yea the oil leak was helped by a new Z20LEH sandwich plate and goodridge connections but seems to still have a little drip.



Had a couple of weeks of lots of new parts arriving

Nice selection of springy things for the wastegate...


Coil pack to replace the dizzy...


And some brackets for it to mount from the original dizzy location...


Remains of the dizzy after getting it machined down to use as a blank...


Plugs and MAP sensor...


Well needed injectors...


New box of tricks...


Ohh how I hate electrics...


And the start of the mapping...



And thought I would sneak in a rare pic of it looking clean...



Few of you will know that the plan was to get it all mapped and running for PVS this year but as per usual it was a last minute thing and ended up giving up saturday morning at around 3am with a base map allowing me to drive upto santa pod. Big thanks to the guys at T&R for working through the night to get it to that position. Its currently running just over 260bhp at 6psi and I just need to do a little bit of tweaking over the next couple of weeks and hopefully finish the mapping next month.

Can finally give the screamer a good blow out though.....

And a short vid on the rollers



Will post up the graph too when I get the chance.

Not had much of a chance for an update recently. Finished the second session on the rollers just before PVS peaking at 408bhp. Had an annoying coolant leak since from the pipe connecting to the EDS inlet manifold. Decided to take it off in the end and weld a ring to the base, definately worth doing if anyone buys one. Its pretty poorly made tbh considering the price tag....



While the inlet was out I couldnt resist stripping down the alternator and giving it an overhaul....



Hopefully get the car back together this weekend ready for Trax.

Wow! Very good result!

[bodgetastic]

Cheers mate.

Rich talked me in to pulling a nightshift on the calibra and now all back together (big thumbs up for coming over), you can just make out the alternator if you squint

Extreme Spring Cleaning................ I cant stand dirty pistons




And a bit of a clean of everything else,




Engines looking a bit bare,

[richymotor]

at least there's zero signs of det there then bud .... can't believe you dared work on your car without me, them rings turned up yet?

[v6 steve]

do you think youll get many miles on her this year mate

[bodgetastic]

Still no rings so wont be making coombe this year in the cally although I hope to do a least a qtr of a mile at PVS this year

[richymotor]

there's still time to get the rings and put it back together ... you wouldn't have been able to tune it anyway so we can just run it in on the way to combe

[v6 steve]

are you brining it to Billing ?

[bodgetastic]

I plan to this year Steve if all goes well with the rebuild.

[Stupink]

Probably a good thing, I cant get it to go fast in a straight line let alone round corners
