And I might have a plan for temporary leads to get the car test run and out of the shed. (I'll get real leads when lockdown is over)

Now fully assembled, running, driving and just awaiting a parts store being open so I can buy the right leads. Then "level 2" so I am allowed take it to Tauranga to get the tune finished! :D :D

BTW for those wondering...
This is how I fixed the clutch issue...
AW11 pedal doesn't go to the floor. So cut on the red for more throw

I need to fix an over boosting issue. Otherwise everything went awesome! (This time) Road test certainly made all the time money and effort worthwhile!!
X2 running Turbo MR2's now!! :D
I just need to get at least one of them legal, pick a good day and a good run and we are ON baby!!! :D :D

So things went a lot better and soother on this dyno run! Starting with me getting to Tauranga without having to get another trailer and being 2hrs late!

Without giving too much away, as I will probably put together a pootube video

First power run on a 8psi WG spring looked like this...
20200527_101249.jpg
:shock: :shock:

There may maybe a bit of a boost creep issue to resolve... :lol:

But basically the best number on the day was 350BHP and 380Ft/Lbs @18PSI (Which is where we set overboost cut and it hits it, alot) So once I've opened up the WG we will finish off a bit below this :wink:

Interestingly it hooked up real well when we road tuned in Tauranga. And the tyres are die to be replaced. 1st and 2nd just went and didn't it boost cut. It was an AWsome ride! (That LSD I put in with the clutch probably helps) But it was dry and hot and engine was heatsoaked after the dyno.
Home the next day cold and damp spun 1st and 2nd and hit boost cut. Not fun test drives :cry:
But hopefully get that wastegate ported this weekend and that fixes that. :D
Then just need to get it road legal again! :D :D
