Hi
Car is back on the road, it lost power when the Tomei Pon cams were fitted, its a complete mystery, triple checked everything. So I had the new Adaptronic ECU tuned on 98 RON and E85, its using a GM sensor so the ECU will adjust mixture and timing depending on the mix, boost is either low for 98 or higher for E85 using a Turbosmart eBoost. The motor wouldn't take any more than 21 psi on E85 and would have an ignition breakdown, its running stock coil on plugs so I might be going to to LS2 truck coils soon. It making 245 kW on E85 and has picked up a bucket load of torque, it hits very hard. I setup a launch control through the ECU using the speed sensor in the G50 so at 0KPH its limited to 5000 rpm where it makes about 2 psi boost, as soon as the car moves 1 of the 8 segments in the G50 speed sensor tells the ECU to switch of launch control. It will be hard on the motor but Im only going to use it sparingly. Steve

Hi
When I was checking my cam timing etc I needed to remove the timing belt, I made a tool to lock the crank pulley and another I bought to lock cam gears on one side as they tend to spin violently when the belt is released which could bend valves. Steve

Hi
I went a car show a few hours down the coast, I found my old 1302 which I sold in 2004 so I parked next to it to get a few photos. Steve

Hi
My coil on plugs ignition system was letting me down. Thanks to AFI in Peakhurst I bought some LS2 truck coils along with connectors for a good price, when I get these hooked up I will go back to the dyno for some more boost. Steve

Hi
I bought some 6x15 Cookie cutter and had new tyres fitted, 205/50x15 Mickey Thompsons and 195/55x15 Goodyears. Running at VW only drag meet in a few weeks time, I have been running 245/40x18 Mickeys at the drags and the Snowy Moutains 1000. The 18s had a diameter of 651mm, the 15s have a diameter of 588mm so these should help with acceleration. 1st gear @ 8000rpm will now do 73 instead of 82 kph 2nd gear @ 8000rpm will now do 125 instead of 139 kph 3rd gear @ 8000rpm will now do 182 instead of 197 kph 4th gear @ 8000rpm will now do 239 instead of 258 kph 5th gear @ 8000rpm will now do 299 instead of 323 kph, all theoretical of course  Steve
