here is a link that scoff has sent me with the loom in place, he has done a great job in hiding the loom to keep the engine bay as empty as possible for me, and if all goes well i will have a video later today of the car up and running

Phil asked that I upload a video of it running, so here we go !

It looks like there might be some port wall wetting with the injectors being so far from the inlet valves (slight stumble after ovverun before idle returns and transient throttle being a pig to set) but I think that should improve once I get a map done. If not, Phil, you might want to think about adding an idle control valve so we can introduce some idle-calm down/dash pot effect.
Chris
If needed I have a couple of spare valver ICV valves wil happily post / send were needed

It's good to hear it running again Phil.
Excellent Phil not long now
Cheers logg and cheers dave for all the late nights you spent with me Lol on helping me get it back together
Be interesting to see how well she goes
Boost hose blown off at idle. Not a good sign
received a pm from scoff last night letting me know the car now has a base map and has now been running for a good couple of hours with no real issues apart from idle is not as crisp as chris could get it but i think for now i can live with that but i do have good oil pressure and the engine temp is good as well and should be able to collect the car next thursday, so hopefully soon it will be on the rollers for some full throttle mapping and see how it goes
Excellent news Phillip.
As said on the phone matey sounding good, keep me posted on progress and results
Idle is fine phil, what I was saying was that idle was poor if I tried to lean it out to where I wanted it. That's just an injector thing, not worth worrying about
Looks awesome red cars are the future! have you not had to unclip the throttle cable from the bulkhead though?
Some more progress of the car on the rollers today I'll let scoff tell you how he kept the throttle open in 5th for quite some time if he wants to lol

Evening all just received a pm from scoff the car had it's first mapping with boost today and mate quite some good power but it looks like I may need to look into a bigger compressor front end to find some more bhp but so far I'm really pleased as its making almost 270bhp at 25 psi but with some more mapping to come over the next few days hopefully Chris can find a few more bhp. Here are some pics so far cheers Chris

nice one phil happy days and vnt turbo mapped by scoff at 25psi no problem
seems to get the pressure before it gets the torque? cam timing could be advanced more maybe?
impressive results tho
Good news Phil
Cheers lads for your nice comments it's good to see all the work finally paying off, hopefully there still might be a little bit more to come from the mad scientist and I'm already searching now for a bigger front compressor housing
Great work guys. Hope to see it finished soon.
Phil, that is very good power matey for only 25psi, well done
Well yeah, it wasn't responding to any more boost at those lower RPM's so the gradual boost curve is deliberate (controlled by ECU). There wasn't any point in sticking 25psi in that early. It's also a result of the VNT, if you consider how it controls boost. As the vanes open it'll want to breath better and so torque doesn't drop of as quickly as it would with a smaller fixed turbine. The result is a longer, flatter torque curve.
It responded to the extra boost higher up though. Advancing the cam might ruin power output higher up so I don't think he should do that. His engine generally is working really well though, certainly carb-fed GTT's dont make anything like that power, but I think he could do better still if he bins the 60trim T3 and thinks about the cam profile a bit more. It wasn't responding to any more than 25psi.
It's so interesting all this stuff
WoW now that's a graph and a half 200 lb-ft for about 3k that's going to be a great road car.
Must be a real animal to drive with all that torque through the ATB
Looking very good, Going to be a fantastic animal to drive..
Phil asked me for a quick video of it on the dyno so here goes
Watch out for the sparks though, turns out the oil cooler pipes were arching with the ignition live on the top of the alt. I had to fit some insulated terminals after this run.

Chris
Loving the sparks. I better insulate mine too as mine runs the same.
Awesome work i think i need to get my money out and go efi!!

Wow, lovely car with lots of power win win,
Well done phil with all your effort. I rembering seeing a picture or 2 when it was sat up for ages in a state on yor drive.
Cheers rich it seems ages ago nearly 3 years since then mate let's just hope it passes the Mot on Saturday so I can make the fete day I have organised you coming up to it in a car mate
