Looks brilliant! Will be one of the best 9GTs in existence! :smthumbup

 

[F1MSN]

Beast mode!

Can't wait to go out in it :smthumbup

 

[Petrolhead Matt]

Modified the slave cylinder to convert from pull to push style

Mostly back together apart from front bumper

Fitted the AMS fuel rail with standard injectors until it goes for mapping where the ID1000's will go in

Filled the engine with oil and cranked it over for a while to get oil pressure. Will start it for the first time when the rest of my fluids turn up from Opie

Cant wait for start up.:coolsm:

Who's mapping it Matt?
you will have more love for that turbo kit when it's optimised:lol::smthumbup

Mark at Owen Developments, it's going onto Motec M800 now, Mark made me an offer I cannot refuse! If it was staying on standard ecu I'd be going to GR Performance

 

[leecavturbo]

Cool, will be a beast

 

[Mike_s]

Looking good matt! Bit gutted I won't be around when it's finished!

 

[Petrolhead Matt]

Gearbox, transfer box, power steering and ACD fluids and coolant all re-filled

Fired her up for the first time after priming the engine and power steering pump for a while - no dramas and sounds nice and healthy

So once I knew it ran OK I dropped the fuel tank and removed the standard fuel lines ready for the new stealth braided ones.

Just got to decide how to have the swirl pot and additional Bosch 044 set up in the boot and then order all the fittings.

Booked in for Motec M800 fitting and mapping on 2nd/3rd of Feb so not long now!

What are your options for the swirl pot? Try and have it on display but look tidy/hide it?

I know where I want the swirl pot, it's more the pump location and where to route the lines that I'm undecided on.

Thinking of something similar to this

Will you have to drill through the floor somewhere? Leaving the boot bear of cutting the boot carpet to fit around it

Yeah, will use bulkhead fittings.

Gonna try get the carpet back in there if I can

Car is finally mapped and running on the Motec M800 and made a safe 557bhp at 1.5bar boost. Mark at Owen Developments said it still has plenty left in it but should be reliable at this boost level (transmission).

 

[leecavturbo]

Nice. Perfect I'd like to run like that low boost and flying.
graph?

Here's the graph Lee

Picked it up on Friday and it's awesome, so fun to drive. And as it's only running 1.5 bar of boost it's so driveable! Perfect road car in my opinion. The twin plate clutch took a bit of getting used to but it's not too bad.
