Thanks Travis,

Better get out of here and get some work done!

Pretty pleased right now. Been putting a lot of hours in the last few weeks/months and now its 95% ready to go. Just a few hours to sort out some bits, have it idle at home to make sure there are no oil or water leaks then off to the tuner next week, ready for EC on the 7th.
Such a relief.
Will certainly be ready for the MR2 trackday.

Thankyou.
The water injection arrived today. Looks pretty easy to install but will need to do some homework to see if the ECU can manage the solenoid instead if the controller that was supplied. Chances are, it will without much fuss.
The last of the hoses are fitted, made adjustment to the pedal box to shorten the throttle stroke and brake pedal location, just about there. It was running again today but will have to wait till Sunday before I roll it off the trailer for a lap or two around a industrial comlpex to make sure there are no leaks and all is OK before heading to the tuner.
It is a bit louder than before and tight!
Better get onto the website as there are some issues Im havinf trouble sorting out..

I had the car running yesterday. All OK so far. Its booked in to the tuner to have the engine broken in, then off to EC for a run on Friday 7th Dec.
Not aiming for anything as for as laps times, just going to drive the car at a easy pace and just enjoy driving the car for the first time in 13 months.
Will be a sweet day.

Finally dropped the car in to the tuner today. Getting it prepared was still a drama with a major plug from the ECU falling off! The ECU was removed then repaired, fitted with a 100% result in a matter of 15mins. The car was run for 30min to make sure there were no leaks with one found at the Vband. This was fixed and now it has no leaks, engine sounds OK, clutch should be a button on the dash as it has nothing between on and off..but it was expected.
Tuner is Phil Armour located in Penrith. He has a lot to do with the development series, F3, Improved production and a gaggle of other classes. Mine looked like a crappy old dirt racer compared to the other cars in the workshop when it showed up due to not been washed since last year. A reliable, solid performing package is the prefered option when the tuner calls back.
The car will be tuned on BP Ultimate as I had a lot of trouble sourcing ET race fuel. This will change in the future, but for the moment I just keeping it simple.
So Friday is looking good at this stage.

Th tuner called yesterday afternoon with news on the tune.
It has an issue of not controlling boost consistantly when he was setting the high boost tune so he only tuned to 0.8 bar.
He will be sorting to boost controller on the monday then completing the tune.
He stated the engine is a very well balanced,responsive unit. Turbo find full boost at 4200 but could not run higher due to inconsistant boost control.
Still, with .8 bar, it has 300 rwhp without water injection and using vortex 98 for fuel.
So relieved it still in one peice!
Will have all.reports available next week
