Edgar is finally finished and stuck to the dash

Any chance of an update please? How many deposits do we have?

Well today was tune up day at Horsham. Made 370 bhp and 350 ft/lb which is pretty spot on what I had hoped. Pleased as punch and can wait to try her out. Many thanks to Jez for the tune up and sorting the couple of errors I had made! Just got to pick her up now!

Horsham Dev should be able to sort you out.

Interesting point

Well spotted It was fitted as per the instruction video so definitely the right way round but I believe you can position them any way up and they should function the same.

Hasn't been too bad tbh. I'm no great mechanic by any means. Fuel pump is now installed and I did the swirl jet and regulator mods as here: http://www.christurnbull.com/projects/automotive/walbro-gss342-installation-350z-g35-fx35-etc/ Remap is booked with Horsham for 23rd, so fingers crossed for decent results! Oh and a bigs thanks to Blade for his help and pictures from his machine to guide me through the dodgy bits.

Sorry but I won't make it as my car is still off the road awaiting re-tune.

Next to the power steering reservoir :-)

Start her up and all seems to be running okay, which is a huge relief! Had trouble uploading a video to Photobucket so can only link it through FB. Can't take it out until the tuning is done. Things still to do: Change fuel pump (waiting for o-ring) Fit oil catch can

Vacuum pipes fitted along with throttle body, air intake etc. Nearly there!

Tensioner and belt fitted. Stillen lower plenum fitted The big boy goes on, along with the top belt. Some of the pipes didn't marry up with the new system, so need to be replaced.

Upper and lower plenums removed. Taped up to stop and nasty bits dropping into the engine. Spark plugs changed for one step colder then it's new DW600 injectors in. They proved to be a little difficult to fit and the bottom o-rings kept falling off, so proved to be a little fiddly. Re-routed crankcase breather hose past injectors and around the back to get it out of the way of where the main drive pulley will go. Main drive pulley fitted. Bypass hose/pipe fitted over the top of the engine. They recommend route was under the fan shroud, which was a bit nasty, so I used some aluminium tube.

Idler pulley fitted

I got one of these for £500 and the thermal imaging is by FLIR http://www.catphones.com/en-gb/phones/s60-smartphone

Are we good to go!?

Sensor for the air/fuel gauge now fitted & connected up. Worked 1st time! (whew!). Decided to fit the double pulley tonight so off with the OEM fan pulley and on with the new. Was a pig of a job to align the bolt holes as visibility was minimum. I used a cheapo endoscope on my phone to get a view That worked okay but then I had to use longer bolts to draw the pulley on before I could fit the new bolts that came with the pulley. Even then with the dish in the pulley it was a bit fiddley. Pic below is looking down from the top. The new pulley is at the bottom of the picture. . Got there in the end. MOT on Friday and still waiting to sort a suitable tuner (hopefully someone local).

I'd say only re-map if you do the necessary mods first. This is going to cost 1k plus if you are looking at exhaust, filter plenum spaces etc. The above throttle controller will give a far more responsive car for just £100 with no other mods and is an easy to fit.

Finished work early today so I had time to route oil temp and air/fuel sensors from engine bay to the cabin. Went the usual route via the ECU grommet. Connected everything up in the drivers foot well so the temp sensor is now operational. Still waiting to get the o2 sensor fitted next week.

What's the price on these?

Sandwich plate is on and no oil leaks! One last pic before the front bumper goes on. Piller gauges on but not wired to the sensors yet. I have to wait a week now for my mechanic to swap out the HFC back to the OEM cats as recommended by Stillen for max boost. Hopefully I'll get to speak to Dean at Top Gear (Bridport) tomorrow to see about the re-tune once all the mechanical stuff is done.

I had to cut down the mounting bolts on the intercooler, otherwise they'd have been sticking into the fins on the oil rad.
