Some pictures.

Next step is to replace control arm bushings (right side torn) and engine bushings. Back to stock. And put the AK Motorsport ball joint top mounts back. Sick of replacing 034 top mounts. Got a replacement and put C clips in to hold the ball joints.

The K type in the outlet shows ...

Hey all, time for another update.

Got my injector test rig running well and have made my first batch of flow and offset matched injectors. Bosch EV14 modded to 1170cc. I have 3 sets of 4 1170cc injectors. Looks like two sets will be shipped soon.
The leftover injectors are now in the AEB. Piece of ...

The next part is to focus on the WI system and get it running the way it should.
It will be interesting to see what effect, if any, pre turbo injection will have on EMAP, EGT, compressor outlet temp and IMAP.

In unrelated news, I have built an injector flow test rig. All custom made. It can test 8 ...

Wow, it's been a long time since an update. The COVID thing gave me lots of time to work on stuff.

The back pressure sensor and EGT sensor in front of the turbine are finally in. Haven't hooked up the new EGT yet because I want to integrate it into the current sub-harness. The BP is working now ...

I'm about to get some but cant find any reliable information.

Nah, just go simplified. I have the settings for that.
See attached.

The old rubber hose trick! Makes me wonder about my rail mounted regulator

Yeah, good old rubber hose. Spent a lot of money on PTFE hose and fittings and now reverting to some rubber.

Don't remember what type of FPR you have but if it's a stock Bosch type, it is OK, but if like my Fuelab, no ...

Forgot to say that my front end handling has been improved a lot. The AK MS red control arm bushings were worn out actually. There was noticeable shift by HAND on the RF arm. So, got some Verkline (new AK MS name) track hardness, black, bushings. Still had vibration but shimmy was gone. Got the ...

Update:
No more ridge in the VE table! Finally managed to fix it.

Made some changes last Friday.

Added a vent to the valve cover and ran a AN-10 hose to catch can.
In order to do this, I had to move the CC and FPR. Luckily could re-use the bracket. As you can see from the pictures, it is a little ...

Is it possible for you to get a standalone ECU? You would have much better control.

A few updates on the various projects.

The manifold for the backpressure project is in with the sensor. At this time, only compressor outlet pressure is hooked up. So far, a difference of 15-20kpa between intake MAP and post turbo MAP.
Since I had the 3 bar MAP sensor already, decided to use it to ...

After some testing, the lambda signal still has oscillation in vacuum from 3100 to 3300. Dammit. Even swapped in another spare WBO2 I had around. Same.

Swapped the Forge BOV back in. It does what it's supposed to do. And the whooshy noises are nice. No leak under boost.
Car runs smooth. Even ...

I saw 07K Exocet and thought: this is going to be good. Welcome.

Actually, the turbo does chirp when I shift at 7000. It barely holds 200kpa from 6000.

However, it is clear my front end suspension is not up to the task of hard braking from 180kmh...

Group B life, here we come.
If I could get my car to chirp like the IMSA cars I would happily replace the turbo more often if needed !

Are you worried the BOV is leaking by or something ?
It doesn't really chirp, but it does sound like I have a stock DV as a blow off. Only running 200kpa now ...

Got some new toys in the mail a few days ago. Need to get some more parts, but these are the major ones. Got it for a very good price.
Kit contents are:
Devil's own pump with level switch and filter,
3QT tank,
15ft, 3ft and 8" stainless braided hose, AN-4
2x solenoids
2x 12GPH nozzles. Way too big ...

I think Micheal is sick and tired people trying to scam him. He told me so.
I am dealing with hm now. I recently bought a hood release cable kit from him that is broken, but he was not happy when I asked to return it.

The matter is being resolved. Stand up guy.

Today was a good day. Finally installed the fuel cooler under the car.

And by fortune, a load of parts came for my pressure/temperature data log project.

It will measure compressor outlet pressure, exhaust manifold back pressure and down pipe back pressure next to the WBO2 sensor. Now because I ...

That old skool look. Nice.

Damn that looks hot...

Reinforced the FPR bracket today. Turned out better than expected. My baby steps into fab work.
Some pictures. The CC AN-10 drain line and valve are down there somewhere.

So glad I finally got rid of the old can. Leaked everywhere. In the meantime, I decided last week to give the Forge valve ...

Nice work on the suspension refresh. I have a pile of those parts too, waiting to go on my coupe.
Thanks. Been taking a while to change out all these bushings. It's been so gradual that I don't really notice the incremental changes, except the diff bushings.

Today, I swapped in the new catch can ...

Regarding that hall sensor on the dizzy, I had similar issues when my B4 had the 2.0 ABK, which is also a dizzy motor. It looks identical. Had to wiggle it or push on it and it started right up. Might just be a shitty/brittle wire connection in the connector. Old wiring.

Very nice. What pads?

So, today installed all the goodies from AK Motorsport. It has transformed the car. You can feel the difference in the rear. No more slop.
The front sub frame bushings were a PITA to get out, but the new ones went in fine. Forgot to take a picture of that. It's not very exciting.

Also redid the IC ...

Of course I will share the knowledge gained from this quest using an expensive, complicated research project re-inventing the wheel with my follow cargeeks.
