That's great news. It will be interesting to see if there is much gain from the new ecu.

Looking good Glen. You sure like the gold stuff. Do you consider it effective as a heat barrier?
Is second photo your original turbo? I see the igniter module has snuck into the boot. Do you still use the original
Denso coil or something better? I like the instrument display.

Yes it is great as a heat reflector. If it's good enough for NASA then it's good enough for me. Yes that's my old turbo. I'm thinking of putting it into my ST205.
I use 100% stock ignition. I bought a new oem distributor a couple of years ago. I haven't found the limit of the ignition system yet. Apparently it is somewhere around 600Hp.

Nah... All planned well. I actually made a cardboard version to check that it isn't too big! This one is rated for up to 2000hp so I think it will be good enough. 😁

I'm still making progress. There are still some parts that haven't arrived yet. FYI the worst couriers in Australia are - Both are a f'kn bunch of useless muppets! On a positive note, I really like Pick N Payless, and I went there today to find a dipstick and tube to fit to my 5SGTE. My first attempt at a custom dipstick setup was a failure, so I thought I'd give it another crack. For those of you that have a 5SGTE, you will know that the dipstick is very short, and is too close to all the hot stuff. Today I got a dipstick and tube from an AE101 Corolla. I had to modify it slightly, though I am very happy with the result. I'll still have to shield the handle somehow, though it is no longer mm away from the manifold.

The new dipstick would have to be an improvement surely. Gen 2 dipstick and oil filter always looked like a bloody horror story to me. I can think of better ways of burning me fingers.
What's the bit of chequer plate visible in the last photo ?
You sure yer haven't got that turbo on arse about face?
Jest looks funny ter me. I know you're a bit of an individual.

Everything in the engine bay is now complete, except for the exhaust system. Tomorrow's job is to remove the nose and fit the intercooler coolant pump somewhere up near the front. I'll then take the car to the exhaust shop to get a 4" stainless steel system made. After that comes the dyno tune, then I'll hit the track for testing.
