Looking good man

 

You can run on the stock MAP sensor and replace it later. Did it myself for two weeks. I swapped to the 4-bar MAP sensor just three days ago. Just working through cogged belt tension issues now.

 

Great to know. Did you have to tweak the cal file to account for a different map sensor?

 

It's not a good idea to run with the stock sensor. If the AEM EMS 2 fuel map and ignition map is tuned to the 4bar map sensor, using the stock map sensor may work, but your fueling and ignition will be off.

 

I had the calibration set on the stock map sensor. After I installed the 4-bar map sensor, I changed the calibration file to the proper sensor.

 

Is this a new bracket design from kraftwerks or is it the tts bracket?

 

New kit from Kraftwerks. There are many things different from the old kit:
*larger Rotrex
*cog belt design
*AEM EMS v2 for AP1
*no engine oil cooler (Laminova on the old kit)
*larger injectors
*higher output fuel pump

 

How does this design differ from the tts? The cog drive is a plus.

 

I'd say the two kits are more alike than they are different. The execution varies from part to part. I'll try to compare based on what I see as long as I can at least get the kit working.

I'd say the cog drive will need to prove itself. There are ups and downs with both designs. I leaned towards the cog design to limit slip of course but it remains to be seen how much beating the C38 can take as a result. In theory it should hold up unless you rev the thing with no load.

 

It seems that I am not the only one missing parts in these kits and the missing items seem to be similar. To aid future owners of the kit with a check off list I am including a full listing of parts below. This way you won't have the car sitting on blocks for weeks like I am.

Complete list, without bolts, nuts and washers, of parts that should be in the kit. Blue coded items are the ones that I was missing in the box, red coded items are parts that do not match. Fuel injectors are too large for the rail, "T" fitting is too large for the OEM hose.
