Sorry, guys - been off the air for a few days.

Answers to questions:

Steven - Not a lot. The dyno says 260 hp (200 RWkW?). But I have to remember it's a standard engine with just the boost on top and ECU. However, I find the acceleration terrific and am very happy with the result.

Anish - not really the issue. It seems the factory ECU was misinterpreting signals, or something was sending wrong signals (knock or oxygen sensors, we think). All academic now with separate engine management system.

Gary - excellent. Looking forward to results after 27th. The legal stuff was taken care of by the expert - DPI experience contacts, etc. I was off the road for two weeks.

Now I've put new 18" rims with 265s on the back (235s front). Feels good. But I'm happy to stay a sleeper, so this is probably it for now.

The ones in the car have been flooded with fuel

It pulls like a school boy at mid revs
So once again I have to wait

Hahahah We have success

We took out the 315 injectors

Put in Cleaned standard ones 251

Changed back to new NGK Double Platnum plugs

Put in new Denso HT Leads

Put on Dyno retuned Unichip

Couldnt go over 4000 Revs

Tyres were smoking & being shedded even with me sitting on the Boot 110kgs extra

We had around 160KW @ 4000 revs

The car is idoling abit hi around 1000 revs but I think it will settle down with a few kms

The car drives very well

We have got 7.5 psi boost

which comes on at about half throttle

Driving at about 30kmph plant boot she spins the wheels

So all in all I think my settup works very well

I will have it dynoed on a better Hi power dyno to get the real readings one day soon

Hi, guys.

Badger (you thought he'd left the planet) has now completed his upgrades, and is calling it a day at 296 RWHP, after cams, extractors, cats and bigger injectors on top of the blower. I tried to attach a jpg of the dyno result, but I'm a PC dummy and the site told me so. I can email you a copy on request. By the way, I found in my travels that there are some very happy dynos out there, and so I settled for the one at West Racing, which appears to give me the lowest (most conservative) number. Others, I know, read up to 8% more.

See you on the road.

Oh! I forgot the vitals (I'm a lawyer, not a mechanic - so very basic):

Blower - Bullit S/C boosting 9 psi after experimenting with different size pulleys after fitting cams.

Cams - Stage 1 (whatever that means)

Injectors - designed for Mazda Bravo!

Extractors - ceramic coated (big and very shiny - how technical is that?)

Cats - also very big (I reckon I could be an engineer)

All managed by MoTec - Bullit piggy back went in garbage bin.

Cost - can't tell you in case my wife logs on.

See you around.
