Well, MTC is fast approaching. I have 8 days until I leave and still plenty to do.
I received Gouky's test ECU back with the following changes.
- Advanced timing in the low end
- 7200RPM rev limiter
- leaner tune (factory is 10.0:1)
So far, on street driving, the difference is pretty significant. The car no longer feels "lazy" in its low down acceleration, and it sounds sweet at 7k rpm.
I'm due to get my water injection set up on the 11th (next week) and I am also having it run on the dyno to check the AFR's before I go. I will take the standard computer with me incase there is any difficulties.
I also started work on my engine lid rack. Progress is good so far, but unfortunately the whole things twisted by a few mm's, which means that I can only JUST get the engine lid open. I will need to get the grinder back out for some clearancing.
Here is some photos as it sits now. There is a rectangular frame which bolts onto the two rails and holds 3 wheels
I still have to add some more supports, most importantly bracing diagonally back to the strut tower to stop the whole thing from colapsing on the lid. I will also add some gussets out of 3mm plate to all the corners. I really dont want this to fall off the car.
And finally, I will be adding an additional 3rd brake light onto the rectangular frame. Theres no problem with covering the rear window but the 3rd brake light is a legal requirement
