Just in case anyone is lingering in the back ground - we have 2 coming in for stock that are currently unreserved.

I've noticed a chunk missing from the washer/nut assembly on the compressor wheel, is this normal? I haven't fitted it yet.

I think that's normal,seen it on turbos,its to do with the balancing of the shaft.

A bit of an update. I've done around 200 miles in the car now the fuel pump is working reliably, although I think there is an issue with the sender for the dash fuel level which is not behaving itself.

The car itself now stinks of fuel, whines like a 747 engine at idle and is genuinely scary at WOT on B roads. I totally love it. Sorry no videos as of yet but I got a GoPro yesterday so I'll mount that in a couple of weeks when I open her up on a track day. The gains for the financial outlay are fantastic IMHO.

Obviously rev matching is essential on these cars anyway but there is a bit of change in driving style that I need to adapt to to ensure smoother transtions. Howveer the oem clutch is holding strong and not slipping at all, even at high revs. I'll see what it does on the track hammering.

I've swapped my DMS Pro65 for a HKS HiPower Silent exhaust and I can't be happier. As well as being lighter (SS304) the charger through the HKS exhaust is like a raspy, snarling dog when caining it, but literally almost silent for town driving.

I'm keeping an eye on engine temps, as I've no oil cooler fitted, but so far nothing but 3 bars other than pre-ignition reading.

Since removing the ETD and the extra weight of the SC, I've noted more (visual) movement of the engine. My mounts are 100k old so probably need replacing, but wouldn't mind another ETD that would fit around the SC which obscures it. Not sure there are any connection point left though.

Bear in mind that if you get to the stage where the clutch is slipping then you will most likely have to replace the flywheels as well.

CynicG

Yep all part of the plan

Any videos yet CynicG?
