Very nice work Rik! It amazes me how you will put your hand to anything. You will have to let me take a look at that bad boy come summer time. Did you get much advice/help from phoenix? Marcus

Would anyone be interested on working on a project of doing this with me? I have a friend who can bring over parts from america via freight as he working in the american automotive industry (group buy on super chargers anyone?), i also have another friend that can bring parts over in an APO for me which means 0 postage gernerally, or local postage at worst and no import charges. My dream project would be to find someone that would be able to fit these parts and then we could combine bringing them over and fitting. i am sure that doing two at once would mean much less hassle as we could copy from one to the other. I have little in the way of knowlege, but willingness to learn quickly! Dave.

Good lad So how was it mapped ?

[Jameshs]

Any chance you could pm me all the parts required as i fancy something to do over the winter

I'm game to give it a try, Dave.

Stick an intake manifold, gaskets and dual pass end plate for me, on the list of parts you're going to import.

sent ecu to courtenays and they mapped it. I'm going over there in 2 weeks so they can check it + tune it any more if necessary mentioned it to phoenix before I fitted it and they asked if they could have a look at it when I took my car in for repair, they didn't have much to say but offered to help if I was stuck

Great job Rik. Can't believe it went together so painlessly for you - even without the garage. Where did you get the new connectors for the injectors and what MAP sensor have you used? Is the wideband lambda necessary? I've got a feck load of questions, maybe I should PM you.

is this the build book you are using ?

Courtenay can supply the connectors and map sensor. Wideband not strictly needed, but nice to know it's fueling correctly the first time you start it

I believe so, but I've never actually looked at the book. Got a lot of info from z22se.co.uk and cobaltss.net and of course courtenays

[speedster]

top job mate!

[rik]

Good work Rik, you will have to show me sometime!

Did you lower the compression by using a thicker head gasket and did courtenays remap the existing ECU, or did you fit a piggyback?

You've got me thinking now.......

no need to lower compression anymore, and courtenays can remap the ecu properly now, so no need for extra injectors or piggyback (that's what makes it more acceptable as a DIY thing)
