06:00 a nice beautifull day lies in front of us, to begin the 3 hours drive to DP Engineering to get the pos mapped finally..
Suns coming up
Quick leak during the trip and to get something to drink
Nicely waxed towcar
Arrival @ DP Engineering, i already had a encounter with a ricer.... To fast to furious
First Pieter had a look and uploaded the VEMS with the latest firmware, then did a general check of the sensors etc.
Lambda wasnt preheating properly, so we ditched the "old" one and installed a fresh one , preheating problems solved.
Decided to start the car, and it was running rough... mostly on 3 cylinders, and smoking quite bad...
Checked everything again, ingnition wasnt set correct, sorted that, and it ran better but still only on 3 cylinders, and still smoking.
Marvin banging his head on the roof... French pos!
Did a compressioncheck just to be sure and everything was good, did some more checks to find out injector nr3 wasnt doing s**t, hence the 3 cylindering.
Well put in 4 x new 660cc injectors, and voila running nicely and throaty on 4 cylinders, at this stage the exhaust really came to live, and it sounds GREAT!, already you can hear this thing means business.
Pieter, installing new connectors to the injectorloom to fit the new injectors
Time to install the dynapackaxles onto the hubs, and get ready for some serious loudnes
Time to let the car warm up again, and some coolantleakage on the front :S
Had a look under the car and the radhose that we modified, was leaking on the plastic T piece, couldnt repair it, so it means Pieter has to weld something to replace the plastic piece and also install a new thermostat since were not quite trusting the ones that in there.
So decided to leave the car @ DP, Pieter will repair the radiatorhose and install the thermostat and start to map the car next week.
If everything goes oke, im picking the car up on Monday and drive it back home..
s**t happens and i already expected something like this, since almost nothing during this project went ok in one time.
So hopefully Pieter can work his magic in the upcoming week
Will update soon
