My intake temps were stable around 30 degrees today in traffic, down to the usual mid 20\'s on the move.

Looking good Liam. Ive been thinking about running temperatures recently as well, it\'s starting to get a bit \'warm\' out here. Perhaps I better get a new rad and maybe a new fan and not use her between 1-4pm lol! Stock airbox should be fine on mine I think, considering maybe fitting an extra cold air feed into the stock cold air feed.

Im still loving the RE:A steering wheel lol. What are your next plans for her? I missed the post with compression test, bet your well chuffed mate.

Cheers Ben

was just thinking about cold air and ducting, wonder how to enclose the filter in a box, Gruppe M sounds awesome but mega bucks :\'(

next bit is r-magic exhaust and rear brakes (booked for monday)
go in for some stickers on bonnet and doors (I got a re amemiya badge but cant bare to stick it on, cost me Â£20 new!!! just for a small badge 6cm x 2cm ish!!!)
then finish spraying my RE-A rear spats, fit along with RE-A style diffuser.
Make a heat shield for the tub, will be made out of the old mid cat shield if i can find it.
Rebuild wastegate with .8 bar spring (do that some time next week once i have the spring)
Oil change and install a multitude of gauges and change spark plugs (9\'s all round)
Then by that time, will be ready for mapping and then "Hellooooooo BOOOOOST!!!!!"

When i can really be bothered, properly duct the v mount and also duct the ic to bonnet vent.
Braided brake lines.
GP sport front bumper in a few months time..
then i think that should be it. Finito :chat

Oh unless i have more funds then bigger tub (GT35R) or if i win the lotto, twin TD06 :Giggle

Whats your intake setup like? i thought you had a fb?
You still after a twin alt pulley? i need to get one for a fren so maybe buy 2 and save on postage. let me know.

captainbizzaro · June 04, 2011, 09:58:06 PM

Yeah it\'s an FB but with an S4/S5 TII mishmash mixing it up a bit.

Sierra Cosworth intercooler sat at 45Âº,3" pipework and Greddy elbow-distance from IC to TB about 600mm.

Will let ya know about the pulley cheers.

Looking good Liam,

Keith.

L18M · June 04, 2011, 10:04:04 PM

Captain: i ment air intake, location etc and wheres your rad? behind the ic?

cheers keith

captainbizzaro · June 04, 2011, 10:16:17 PM

Aah right soz, air intake is straight into the turbo at the mo but working on ducting. The turbo doesn\'t quite sit in direct airflow behind the IC and rad though so it gets a half decent quality of air. The rad is mounted to IC (spaced off as much as possible with the space I had) then some hellasucky SEAT fans on the back of that.

L18M · June 05, 2011, 03:14:55 PM
