Don't forget to put an inline fuse in straight after the battery on the +VE side, otherwise the wire will be unfused and if you get a short.....
 
So got bored and played about with the hondata software abit.
Also installed a brand new 02 sensor for the aem wideband...
First pull on the new wideband and the lean protection kicks in between 3k and 4k rpm. So clearly the old sensor is reading abit rich. Didn't take much fiddling about to have that sorted though. Still playing with the AFRs but I think the new fuel pump wiring is helping, injector duty cycle on low boost is down around 4% on an old log I have. Although the tune is Alittle leaner so could well just be that.
I'll hit full boost later in the week and see if it has helped or not.
Rear brakes are still Alittle grabby which is annoying! Seems all 4 corners of this car are constantly braking lol
Also these bad boys arrived the other day, 225/45/16 Dunlop dz03g for the TE37.
 
Liking the tyres! Good news about the AFR, at least you got to the bottom of it.
Dyno time soon?
 
Yeah I was meant to have got on the dyno ages ago but these brakes(then the wheels and tyres needed to go over them) have bleed me dry.
I'll get something booked soon as the brakes are on and the tunes back to a decent state.
 
So these arrived today!


Specs are
Wilwood superlite 4 pot calipers with the smaller 1.38" piston diameter. This will shorten the pedal travel (at a small sacrifice of abit of clamping power) as I truly hate a long brake pedal this is a sacrifice I'm happy to make, does mean I lose abit of modulation because the travel is shorter and heel and toe may be more difficult but I had to do something about the travel. It will also throw the bias backwards abit but I have the Tilton bias tap to adjust that back out.

Wilwood HD 2 piece discs 310x32mm - the extra disc size will help dissipate heat over the stock ones and will also mean that the calipers have more leverage and thus increase the braking power. I'm yet to know if any of my wheels (other than the TE37 above) actually fit over these beast. They look larger than I imagined tbh

Alloy bells - help keep the weight down over a single piece disc, will weigh the entire assembly tomorrow and get a stock weight figure to compare. Overall I'm expecting a small loss in unsprung weight which is always welcomed.

RC6 pads - my pad of choice, find it very hard to use another pad and I consider these pads unfadable, pedal feel is always decent with them aswell and im real picky about brake pedal feel.

Overall kit quality I can't fault atm and I'm really looking forward to getting them on the car and on track as soon as possible. Too long have the brakes (or my lack of ?adaptivness? to them) hampered my laptime!
I am abit gutted I couldn't make the stock stoppers work as I had abit of a point I wanted to make about those and big power cars. I do feel someone whose better on the brake pedal than I am (just about anyone then) could make them work but I couldn't.
 
Yeah I'm very pleased with them, I'm sure they'll out perform the 18yr old oem calipers that they are replacing.
I've noticed the rear calipers are dragging alittle aswell so they will be the next job. Likely just replace with recon ones and have the whole setup fresh.
I will crack 56s at brands!
 
Yeah I was hoping for alot of trackdays this year but I've not managed that many. As always I decide to take on some build project and that puts the car out for half the season lol
 
Haha it's always the case with these things mate
 
Very nice, PB here I come !
Always great updates here good job jesse .
 
They look mega dude! Just a heads up, I've seen people saying that the bleed nipples are shite and snap, so I'd replace them before you fit the callipers!
 
Wicked! They do look bigger than ones I had...would have to look in my build to confirm this which is buried somewhere in members rides:))

I had a set on an astra before but they where used. Snapped the bleeder on them lol
Hopefully where these are brand new I can be careful and get away with it. If not I'm sure rally design will have replacements.
Cheers for the heads up though, puts it at the front of my mind when I try and bleed them.
