Defcon5 Posted February 28, 2010 Report Share Posted February 28, 2010 Hows the water injection reasearch coming on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CasperGTI Posted February 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2010 Oh its sorted, its alot to take in. In principle its going to work, jsut getting it to work will be the hard part.I need to make sure the system is safe, dont get me wrong i havent ordered a cheap kit what so ever! Just with running the ignition advance i will be able to, i have to make sure the failsafes will work.I have EGT sensors to keep an eye on the engine and sence pre det. Then the injection system has failsafes for low fluid, high pressure and low flow, which will be sent on a pulse wire to my ecu which will automatically switch maps back to a safe map.Mapping time is going to be high on it though, alot of time is going to be needed i think.Going to make sure everyting is ready before i go fo fitting the kit, im expecting it to arrive in the next few weeks. Im pretty excited as its one of only 35 kits in the world atm.John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pro3mark Posted February 28, 2010 Report Share Posted February 28, 2010 Whens the car due back? 12th? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CasperGTI Posted February 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2010 some time this week.Then next weekend is devoted to a full strip down and clean. Which will probably end up spilling on the the following week as ive got weds-friday off to prep.John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiamD Posted March 6, 2010 Report Share Posted March 6, 2010 Chevy orange centres? I do like that.In a total sick lovely person fashion, I'm thinking it would look ace with some GT3-ish, or even Mopar-esque orange graphics down the side... if it was done as subtle as orange graphics could be, it could look alright.Or maybe I should lay off the prescription drugs right now.

CasperGTI Posted March 7, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2010 Well, after a hard weekend she is back home and the paintwork is fully machine polished up and ready for UD, engine bay still to be detailed and interior to be detailed.The paint is good, but its not 100%. It will be going back again to have panels done again when i have to time.Looking froward to Ud now, its gonna be good fun.Pics to follow...

CasperGTI Posted March 8, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2010 Few shine photos, and some close ups of the paint. Nothing special.... Had driven 50 miles since cleaning it too.Will be fitting the wheels on weds, along with a new abs sensor as i managed to take the end off it with a long wheel bolt!..... ooopsOh yeah and this turned up.... Not a bad way to spend £500 :ph34r:John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marcusgrant Posted March 8, 2010 Report Share Posted March 8, 2010 x2Is may be just me but, on the front bumper either side of there the number plate would of been it looks like it has sunk slightly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CasperGTI Posted March 8, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2010 Yeah it has, But its not sunkIts becasue of the intercooler, it pushes the bottom out ever so slightly which puts dimples in it either side. When the bumper is off there not there. but as soon as it goes back on they re appear.Ive tried taking material off the inside of the bumper, and have taken all i can off. One of these things you have to live with.John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
