Just had a look Gazza, they seem quite expensive compared to others, more than double the likes of driftworks etc for similar ones

Rob I've contacted wheelflip and sent them my spec a couple of days ago after a couple of back and forth messages, still no reply
The work equips are 32bolt not 36, at least the version I have.

Those wheels look so much better, personally I would polish the whole wheel, would look mint
The turbo lag isn't much fun though, I have had an mr2 in the past with lag as bad if not worse than that, hated it for a road car

Can you not play with the start duty at all ? , on the boost controller I have now it is my 2nd favourite thing, being able to raise the boost obviously being the first

Hopefully the power available after it kicks in will be worth it though

I'm contemplating polishing them, they do look good in the silver too and I have a couple of other ideas so time will tell.. First thing is rears need widened

Once it's in for mapping I'll look at how soon we can bring it in but I'm not too bothered, even at wastegate pressure it gives you whiplash when boost kicks in and still destroys most things on the road so once it's mapped I'm sure it will be a lot more fun than it already is

Took the car to it's first Car show today, also a first for me taking my own car
Unfortunately only managed to wash and polish it but still looked half decent and the engine bay drew a bit of attention
Here are some pics:

Congraz on your Work Equips, i have some too

I have to put 5mm spacers on the front to clear the calipers

Thanks dude, I really like the polished look, it's one of my current choices to choose from
Did you replace the bolts or did you clean them up?
PS. That do luck kit is sweet

[Odin_S]

I cleaned them up. Did the same with the Enkei a few weeks ago. All depends how bad yours are.

If you buy new notes ones it ain't so bad but make sure they are stainless or titanium because of salt on the road.

[Gullzter]

They just look rusty but not in a bad way, was told by my powder coaters to stick them in some Diet Coke to remove rust then polish them

[Gullzter]

Car went in for mapping today, will post results shortly, here are a couple of pics and some videos on the hub dyno

[Gullzter]

Here's 1 video at 1.15bar boost, struggling to get more uploaded:

[Gullzter]

And this was the result at the hubs, and at a very safe, reliable, moderate 1.65bar, on pump fuel





Time to enjoy the hard work

[ashley]

Nice- about 500hp- that must feel rapid


Looks like the turbo is only just coming on song- more revs and more boost needed....

[androo007]

Hory Sheet! That must fly

[Martin F]

Takes a few revs to get going but builds power pretty quick when it does. It is just getting on song and it's off, I would have tried for an 8k rev limit at least....
Saying that, I can see huge potential ahead, 2 bar boost and sort the revs out and the car will be a beast

Great start figures though so enjoy the rest of the summer, look forward to seeing how this car pans out, well done Munir

[Gullzter]

It's bloody insane!!

The revs aren't limited, Chris had pulled ignition, it's a very safe map to make it as reliable as possible as a road car, 60% boost, 99octane with no additives..
There is definitely scope for so much more which is great to know, gives me food for thought over winter but I'm really happy now and Defo going to enjoy a few days of it before it comes off the road
Still a few more changes to make but nothing to do with power

Sorry, I just presumed a low rev cut off. Why did he not push it to see what he could have got as it isn't super high boost unless something was nearing it's limits
So in reality you could have had a way higher bhp figure for 1.65 boost, Awesome either way

[ashley]

Was it starting to knock? Why would he retard ignition so drastically instead of just turning the boost down...looks like he's killed the torque just as it's starting to come on song, assuming it is purely ignition that is causing the rapid drop in torque after 6.3 - 6.4k rpm. Have you got an EGT sensor on it?

But it is just a dyno plot- the real proof is in the driving, and as long as your enjoying it that's all that matters: must feel like a rocket looking at the gradient of that torque plot!!

[Martin F]

Agree Totally, sometimes I accelerate with my boost controller off because it has a similar dyno plot but with a sticky actuator, means I am seeing a point of just 330 bhp at the wheels but it just builds up to that peak rather than getting there at 5k and holding it all the way through, it's nowhere near as fast as my final boost setting but feels much more exhilarating , if you know what I mean.....

Still can't get over how much you bought this car for where was it advertised just out of interest ?
