Just realised that after all the excitement I've forgotten to update my thread!
So! After getting the manifold fitted and downpipe made I used the car for a few days to make sure the setup was leak free ready for its next tune.
I had to modify the boost pipe set up coming off the turbo to the intercooler because of the change in orientation of the compressor housing.
Luckily
@jesse888 was able to come and do another tune on Saturday 24th June!
So we hit the roads of Mexico and started tuning again! Things went really well up to 1.2bar but we were having a problem working out a few issues.
@jesse888 did a fantastic job and we soon worked out the problem!
All I can say is the car is fast! We don't know power figures yet but it feels so good! We were spinning the wheels in 4th gear
Our next step of tuning is going to have to be on the dyno, as the roads in Mexico get a bit crowded!
On my max boost controller setting I get a peak of 1.59 bar but it's more like 1.3bar at the red line, we'll get more out of it yet! But a dyno is needed lol.
I've said it before and I'll say it again,
@jesse888 has done a great Job tuning my car he knows his stuff and his attention to detail and tuning is quality and safe! I wouldn't trust anyone else with it! Dyno next mate! We'll have to book a group session for Jesse tuned cars!
On the Sunday I went to a local car show with my Dad and friends, took my brother-in law out in the ek9 and he was very quiet..... I asked if he was ok lol. Turns out he was a little scared of how fast the car was
ooops!
I love it! More to come yet where power is concerned!
Got to love a rolling burnout.
I've also really enjoyed driving the car on the road again, so I'm actually going to put some of the interior back in! Just to make it more useable.
More small updates coming soon, plus track day end of the month
