Good progress dude. Similar mods to my car!
Just a heads up - for anything above 15mm R-ARBS on EJ9/EK4 shells, you need a subframe brace as they tear the OEM subframe.
Regarding pistons and rods, for the hassle and cost you might as well just get some forged stuff. For not much over 1k you can get new wiseco pistons and skunk 2 alpha rods where you can pick the compression ratio too.
The OEM ones are a pain to get the wrist pin seated correctly.
ECU wise -...
Haha cheers man, much appreciated! Want to sort out the bodywork but just bought a house so unfortunately thats the priority, still hoping to get a few track days in this year though. It'll be 11 years next week...christ time flies doesn't it. You must be at 8/9 years with the 9?
Oh no way...
Yo dude, saw on Baird's insta you'd got it back out. Hows it going?
I'm still kicking about, live down in the midlands now though. Steve's still got the coupe too, not sure how much he's on here these days, too busy fixing the RX7 haha!
Do you have pictures of the back of the plug so that we can see the plug wire colour?
First pic looks suspect, concerning that the plugs been cut off. May be for the IAT (some engines use a square plug, some use a round one. B16 is square and B18C is round for example.
Second pic is suspect...
This is cool, reminds me of my car for some reason, think it's the colour combo.
Re the inside - I used the oem carpet that clips to the seats and it lays down quite nicely and makes the insider a nice place to be.
Well...been a busy year.
Summary is...fitted the engine, absolute masterpiece built by Rob at RDMotorsports in Edinburgh. 205hp and drives amazing. Did a track day at Snetterton which was ace pre current lockdown, got another one the day after this one ends haha. Oh and somehow still kept...
Long time no update! Too much to talk about, but I'll leave these here....
And a post COVID present
Hope everyone is safe and sound in these mad times.
