Very nice work. Love the dash.

will make same better pics, cause this pic is from the last year and a little bit dirty :lmao:

great looking car! Love the dashboard, it is similar to what I did a few weeks ago :D Mine still needs some upholstery and one of your CF panels tho :P

Great job, I'm going to go through all of your gallery now!

Love the wheels, what are those?

Jason

Wheels are Tomason, located in Germany Essen. Its a local Enterprise
Dimensions are 8.5x18 ET35 in front and ET15 an the rears

well done :goodjob:

What the hell:angry:
After first Startup...ecu runs fine, but no oilpressure
Only 0,5-1bar pressure at 2000 rpm....that sucks

Hi Markus! You guys should see the car in person,it´s very well done! Did you bleed the oil lines and oil cooler properly Markus? Also check your oil pressure gauge or swap it with a gauge that you know works.
Another possible reason could be that your pick up tube inside the case isn´t properly fit or too high above the sump.The pick up tube may not be able to suck enough oil if it is not properly installed.That would be a problem because you may have to open the case again.I hope that´s not the reason and it is something simple..

I love this dash, can we get more pictures? You did this with 914 gauges correct?

I've seen a few custom dashes like this on here and would love to see an in-depth "How to/DIY" from start to finished product cause I would like to do the same for my project

Mike

we have opened the case again and hope to find the problem

one of the plugs blocks the oilchannel (only 50% of the diameter are open)

@Turbo
we have checked all things befor open the case again..:angry:

Have to drill out the plug and hope that the oilpressure will ok now.

Another little Proble was the Mahle bearings...
seems they are not fitting like K&S bearings, 6/100mm smaller in diameter than the K&S bearing...that sucks

Change also the mahle bearings to kolbenschmidt

Engine is back in car and oilpresure ist fine...
cold engine= over 5bar :lmao:
Next friday we will programing the EFI.
Car runs up fine already, only need to program some finetuning

bst regards
markus

**** happens...
at 3500 or lest at 5000 rpm, engine ecu gets offline...
no idea why....grrrr

think theres an electric bug in the system...alternator damaged :mad:no load
Sometimes the vr is not registring the tooth...


for the video-junkies.

You probably already checked this, but a bad ground (-) can be responsible for a lot of weird stuff.

Jason

After checking anything and optimizing the mapping, it never happens again.
ECU runs fine, generating VE Table at this time

All parameters looking good
Oilpressure is fine
Ignition runs good
VE table will be generating

So far so good! Sounds like you got a bit of a lifter tick or it needs a valve adjustment but other than that the motor sounds good :)

Very nice ride. I love the dash.

Engine runs about 200km yet.
Valve Adjustment is ok.

Lifter tick cames from the webcam lifter, strong valvesprings and chrommolys
Will drive this setup.
Think this ticking noise will gone after webcam lifter and camshaft runs in place.

I´m glad to see the engine finally running well! Congratulations Markus!
The cam should be broken in by now after 200Km,though.That doesn´t sound like like a lifter to me,they shouldn´t tick if you have solid lifters.I would say that you need to readjust your rocker arm to valve clearance as mentioned already above ;)

Engine runs fine....always mapping :-)
Runs now about 800km without any Problems
Next month will be on the dyno

Got some new Mirrors and Exhaust (Ahnendorp)

Very nice.

Nice curve and solid perfomance! Congratulations Markus!

it runs and runs and runs....
Oilleaks under the Alternator is fixed

Now searching for more PS hahaha
Yesterday raced against a tuned MG TF ~200PS and loose
