Is it Computer enabled? some of them weren't and had to be programmed via the hand controller.

yes it is laptop compatable.

i found out via google that the ECU doesnt like EF crank angle sensors as dan said, however on the forum they said you should be able to delete a few ridges off the sensor to make it work. if not, its not hard to convert it all to EL gear.

Yeah I think the idea was to cut the wheel down so it only had 4 teeth or something.

He sold it instead.

minor update, not much to as really, sold the F6 injectors again as they wont be big enough and i have tracked down a set of 32lb injectors instead, picked up some stainless welding rods and done 2 joins. i also welded up some splits in the mild steel piping. i still need to pick up some grinding discs to make it a bit neater. im thinking of painting all the piping silver.. maybe metalic silver as it will look **** half polished half mild steel...

im almost out of 3" piping so tonight im heading down to revengelanes place to pick up some 2.5" piping to finish the job.

please excuse my dodgy welds as i havnt touched a welder in 7 years and i have only ever used a mig.. but once its grinded it should look ok.

LED strips for the indicators should arrive tomorrow fingers crossed.

starting to come together nicely huggie. Good or bad welds are a small issue to getting this thing on the road cheaply. as long as ya tune is spot on that's the main thing

got 90% of the piping welded up. still waiting on the LED strips so i can modify the clear indicators. just need 2 more lengths of 2.5" piping aprox 500-600mm long to complete the piping. i still need to grind and reweld a few bits due to pin hole leaks (tested in a tank of water)

i have a bumper lined up thats not twisted. it should be here thursday so ill have to modify that one to suit too. might cut up this one to show cooler and keep the other one for sleeper spec.

while i was at revengelanes place last night i picked up a malpassi fuel reg 1:1 ratio, he showed me a fuel gauge but kept it as its new, so i stopped off at autobarn and picked up one identical. it has a broken bracket but thats nothing. ill make something up to hold it in place. im thinking about mounting it where the washer bottle tank would normally be.

i also removed the reducer and 2.5" bend through the indicator hole as pictured in the last update and welded a piece of pipe on so i could use the 90 degree reducer which neatens things up alot.

i know its alot of piping but im planning on putting a bigger stallie into it (3000 or more) so the slight lag shouldnt be too bad. and keeping most of it 2.5" will also help reduce lag time.

my ECU also has the ability of anti-lag which can be run with the push of a button, so if im about to race i can push the button to activate antilag then once the foot is down i can release the button for instant boost. so ill be looking into this option.

well i have been capped so i couldnt make an update with pics but im currently on offpeak time so ill do a small update.

half of the intercooler pipes are air tight, the fuel pressure reg is mounted.

hoping to have it started and running by next weekend. still a few things to do before then

i have added the sump fitting, just need the welsh plug changed to the one with the water hose fitting then the turbo can be bolted on for good.

made the bracket for the fuel reg using a mounting bracket from the fairlane bumper.. not bad for a first attempt :P

blue is not the final colour on the piping. its just there to stop the welds rusting for now until all the pipes are done and then ill crack out the spray gun and paint them all black..

i also ordered some plates for it, i know it gives it away a bit but its not too obvious.
