Doing all the work myself was ment to save me a load of money but she still cost me in parts as found the supply and return fuel hoses for the fuel rail were pretty well perished. I did try to remove the hoses from those funny plastic right angle parts that clip on and off but unfortunately they snapped while trying to undo the metal clamps holding the rubber pipe work on. So now have two shiny new fuel lines and emptier pockets.
Overall though, very happy with how the engine bay is starting to look. The black silicon pipe work and polished metal conponants gives the bay a nice kind of oem + look
May be time for some carbon fibre to find it's way into the bay soon for the engine bay and front cover etc.
Anyway, got her all back together and leak checked on the drive. Took here out for a spin and initially had traction control & and captions on all the time. Also had a fault code for to low a battery voltage.
A quick double check of all the power supply connections soon found a main earth spade connector that I hadn't tighten down to the body. Quick bolt down of this and bye bye caption the car was also now starting much more readily as she normally would
Took her out again for a drive and the two captions went out and not been back since, very happy!!
Car seemed spot on. Boosting well now those pcv splits had gone. Now fuel leaks from the refitted injectors and no fault codes. Very happy me as this was late Thursday morning and I was booked in at AmD the next morning first thing for a stage 2 remap.
So Friday morning came and 0600 saw me leaving Norwich to get to AmD Essex for 0830. All was going great with the car and traffic until just before 8am. I had just come off the M25 at Junction 28 to top up with good old V-power and middle of rejoining the M25 see big plumes of white smoke pouring out from under the bonnet. Needless to say, straight over onto the hard shoulder, hazards on and engine off. Looking under the bonnet saw an explosion of coolant running all down the rear bulkhead and over the right side of the block. Let's just say the air went a bit blue, I couldn't believe it!!
So calls to AmD and my breakdown company and 2 hours later I arrived at AmD on the back of a tow truck. Not what I had in mind!!!
Anyways, the guys at AmD soon had the failed part identified and swapped out then time to get mapping.
Pre map figures from the old revo stage 1 were 260 bhp / 279 lbft.
Post remap gave me 278.7 bhp and 312.5 lbft on the second run.
So nice solid figures and more importantly a lovely smooth graph. It's also very good to know they were very happy with the engine and couldn't find any issues
Had a fun run home and a few blast out back round local roads. Not huge power but nice all the engine mods are now running together a lot better. Also the handling work so far can be put to good use.
And, because real race cars!
Sitting in the sun post mapping,
Was also loving this NSX outside the unit next to AmD, Torque Developments.
