I opted to DIY the whole job , after many hours of work, cuts, bruises, swearing, pies, worrying, did i say pies? and generally re-checking its now on and running

Its an aftercooled comptech, i confess apart from the aftercooler radiator and fuel pump it took me 8 hours of work - I'm not the fastest worker, just didnt trust myself, but it started up first time too .

I rate the whole job for me difficulity wise 7.5/10 - it was bloody annoying, frustating and difficult in some places

I havent really booted it, i have an AFR gauage but intial impressions are:

Its quicker but nothing different until 4k rpm.
Feels a bit heavier on front end - I'm sure brakes are working harder, i can feel it.
Feck me sideways i took it upto 7k rpm only twice (reluctant to boot it) and its very quick - i was laughing

I cant see me running anymore than 7psi TBH, it needs the fpr properly and tuned.

I have a few bolt on's (manifold, exhaust), and a different FD.

Many thanks to s2k aok, s2000junky, kitkatRislar, my hamster, mam&dad and god.

Sorry for lack of pics, just wanted to bash on and i forgot





Me checking after a 30minute run back home.

 

Bet you can't wait to get it on your special dyno mate

 

Congrats.

A Mase tune would be in order now?

 

STFU Adrian

 

I was going to say but haroon beat me to it. He is coming here at end of April if there is enough peeps

then you will know how good it will be

 

Top job! Need some vids now

 

Good work BTW I don't think I could have done that or would have had the courage, did Rislar help you out in the end?

 

Rislar helped me with aftercooler rad, water pump wiring and a vtec mount - i did the rest - which were difficult jobs themselves.

 

Mase is good but me I will map it with quite a bit of help from my mate (who's a tuner) - i will likely go with a standalone DTA ECU.

 

Why not sell your ass in Millom Then buy an AEM ECU and let MASE tune it properly, you can even stay at mine if you like as I know its a long way for you
