Cheers penyo, i yellow flyeyed them but i dont like it so my minds still not sure yet!
Also today i was at crail not racing due to the lack of management but thought we'd stick it on the grass looking its best. Cleaned it then opened the bonnet and before we knew it crowds of people around, then had a chat with the banzai guy who took some details and gave me a sticker so i got him to put it on for me. Then a couple hours from the end a different banzai guy (steve mccann) introduces himself and says he wants to feature it so i couldnt refuse!!! Whilst speaking to him he said of all the cars here only my car and a civic were getting featured, all a shock really but im glad my work is paying off. I also spoke to a guy who will setup my car so all in all a great day!! Now for a few pics...

Last night me and big mike tried to remove the front section of my exhaust to fit the bung for the wideband but failed! So today after work i managed to wriggle it off myself, drill a hole, weld the bung in and refit in 2 hours. Then i had to give the car a quick clean as the birds were not very nice to my clean car!

WHAT A NIGHT! Recieved all my powdercoated stuff back so got to work with cleaning everything up and rebuilding the throttle body/dizzy from scratch. Always thinking that if theres going to be any problems its these. Anyway got everything together then realised the battery was flat so took a jump from my van and the engine would only turn over so doubled check everything which was fine so checked for fuel/spark. Theres a spark but no fuel from injectors, done the tests which showed theres fuel going into and out of the fuel rail just not out the injectors. So thought maybe the baking procedure duribg powdercoating had maybe played with the stock regulator inside so tried another but same outcome. Tried other injectors but still no change so gave up for the night at about 11.30 after spending 7 hours on the car. Then as im seeing my mate out the house it clicked!
Ive temporarily lost my key/fob, so was using the girlfriends key to try an start the car BUT i removed the chip from this key months ago!!!! Honestly the most stupid things always happen to me, but its my birthday now and in the morning ill be putting it back together and have a little laugh when she fires up
Peace out!

Cars all running sweet, cant believe it was that simple! Also got all the little niggly bits sorted like rattly exhaust and fit complete wideband setup. Upon driving the car the AFR sits nice even when it first comes on boost but if i simply give the throttle a small bash you can see the gauge shooting up into the low 16's.
Powdercoated bits
Where ive mounted the wideband gauge (turbo timer above)

heh, i,m the last one to ask about mapping
as long a it only leaning for a split second then enriching ok i guess its wont hurt.i fitted the vacuum damper onto mine to stop it going rich too early and to make the throttle response a bit crisper
get to JAE then you fool.... havent seen you since that very cold evening in brighton lol fitting a panhard

i know the feeling mate
i,ve had this TD05 @ WOT many times but hav,nt taken this high comp engine over 5 k yet tho, i,m on full boost now and it feels like the thing is gonna explode at 5k + !!
mine was a bit slow to react when set to 4 psi, i think the wastegate jerks open slightly from the initial surge, with the softer 4 psi spring and that delays the rate of boost somehow

Haha know the feeling! Well ive yet to put the foot right down, take it above 4500rpm at most or reach full boost. This is not like me will be worth it at the end of the road, i reckon july and it'll be mapped then if anythings needed afterwards to make it 100% then mid august completed.
Still to upload a pic of my completed RB25-CG13 fuel rail with huge thanks to Frank

Not alot been happening with the car at the moment, I managed to temporarily fix the oil return pipe leak. My problem being both fittings having different sized OD's. So ill put matched fittings on when i take it all apart for its clutch change. Heres what im left to buy and do before remap:
Still to buy
Boost controller (Turbosmart e-boost 2)
S14a Air filter and adaptor
Things to do
Put back together RB fuel rail, redo fuel lines once fitted
Fit uprated fuel pump
Fit helix clutch kit
Fit S14a MAF sensor snd filter
Fit boost controller
Redo sump fitting for oil return
Change fluids/filters
Future plans
Buy some sort of slick tyre for drag racing
Full whiteline kit
Bigger brakes
Build a proper turbo engine or sell/swap the whole car

Well last night around 22.15pm i got a text from steve mccann asking if i was free tonight for my banzai magazine feature. Apart from the short notice i was totally up for it. So we met up at my house around 7pm and went to a location he found on his way to mines, id been searching mad for weeks for the right place and he finds a perfect place in minutes! So he got all his bling set up and snapped away getting me to move the car around a bit, some shots with mates in it, some with me alone, some moving ones, engine bay and interior too. Im very pleased with the pictures that i seen and cannot wait to get my copy of all the good photos he took! Finished up at 22.45 then chatted until 23.30 before pickIng up a mcdonalds for supper and calling it a night so heres 1 pic in the meantime:
