Prior to taking the car to Devils the car had been to the bodyshop for a complete respray and a new rear suspension assembly. New RS wheels and new goodyear F1 boots. So looked mint on the outside so deserved of a new heart so to speak.
This left the front wishbones, polybushes, a+k tie rod ends and camber adjust lower ball joints, driveshafts, RS internals, block mod, cambelt, oil, coolant, intercooler with big boost pipes, group A filter, crossover pipe, RS turbo, complete set of silicone hoses, oil breather kit, anembo plenum, 750cc injectors, RS Clutch and Quaife diff, Full RS sensors inc ABS module, 1.8 bar boost pod, plus i probably forgot loads and finally the Revo 4+ map onto RS ecu.........................
old and new intercooler
New shiny plenum and intercooler
750cc injectors
Air filter is huge
Engine out and Checking liners for cracks and then block mod to safeguard the future of my engine.
Wow that was hard work thinking about whats been done let alone fitting it all!.
So onto the results...........
Holy shiny bags!!! Amazing, no other words for it!
Firstly I noticed a Lower pitched grumble from the exhaust, and the sound of the Group A getting ready to suck in a small child!
Then onto the drive,
Unbelievable!
The clutch has made a huge difference especially with the diff. It was slightly wet and I gave her a little welly, well a lot actually and damn! No wheel spin it just put the power down on the road. I was shocked completely. 0-oops in literally seconds.
She now corners like shes on rails, No wobble from the old bushes and driveshafts as i remembered. Point and Shoot!
The power is not majorly aggressive but properly strong. Hard to explain really, instant power when you put the foot down and she pulls and pulls and pulls a bit more......... With no loss of traction to speak of.
The drive home, for as long as i remember with no wobbles vibrations etc, was a total pleasure! and quite quick too! lol
The Power is now just under 430 Bhp and 500lb/ft.
She went in with just under 320 bhp and 410lb/ft
So massive gains!
I still have to go back for a final tweak to the Map and the SPS. And after some issues with the Cheap ebay recirc valve??? GRRRRRR Im gonna have to get a forge one! and finally swap out the brake lines and fluids that there wasn't enough time to complete.
So all in all im a very happy bunny and to be honest there is very little of the original mechanical parts left! lol
Thanks for looking and if anyone wants to know anymore please ask.
