Re: C.J . WRX Bugeye
Anymore underbonet pics mate? :doubleup:
|
Re: C.J . WRX Bugeye
More home made mods :doubleup:
First one is a insert of stainless steel to speed up the spool , seems to have pushed it 350rpm earlier on the rollers and about 500 t0 60 rpm on the road http://i172.photobucket.com/albums/w...6012009046.jpg Second one was getting ride of the tumblers in the inlet manifold http://i172.photobucket.com/albums/w...0012009050.jpg so thats it for the stanard block and the 2.5 is on the books for summertime :yeah: |

Re: C.J . WRX Bugeye

|
Re: C.J . WRX Bugeye
Well done CJ
Good power there for the mods,who mapped it? |
Re: C.J . WRX Bugeye
Pat Herborn
Has always mapped it and is Mr Solaris along with charlie ,so you know you are in good hands :doubleup: |
Re: C.J . WRX Bugeye
Why don't you get rid of the Egt sensor in the up-pipe before it breaks off and fcuk's your turbo :doubleup:
Is it just a case of a ecu re-flash to turn the cel out after the tumbler delete? |
Re: C.J . WRX Bugeye
Quote:
Yes its a reflash with EcuTek , dont know if scott can do with his free ware. |
Re: C.J . WRX Bugeye
i've got no EGT sensor on mine - just used the resistor trick in the socket and i've not had a CEL come on since. :nod:
seemed the best option as i've not forked out cash for a remap :rofl: |

Re: C.J . WRX Bugeye
as a matter in interest,each time you go with the reflash,roling road,and petrol,what do you think it costs?
