**k20 turbo EG** 290wkw @ 11psi - update 16/12/12

[EVLTEK]

UPDATE BACK FROM THE DEAD!!!! or at least back from a year away overseas.

Got a WOF couple days ago........that is all....

Seriously however. The car received a very intense cut and polish while I was away and from a distance the paint looks passable....Have a few tasks to complete over the winter including;
fitting some roll cage padding I have had sitting around for ages
re mounting the boost gauge somewhere I can see it and finding another gauge to put in its place
painting the interior incl the cage (gonna need help on that one!!)
find and installing some sun visors (mine went walk abouts)
wheel alignment
figure out how to setup the boost controller so its not at 11 psi all the time.....waste gate spring is 7psi

RACE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Snapfrozen]

Ive got a right hand sun visor you can have for free, no mounting stuff for it though. If you want it fire me a PM and ill find it in the garage

[STina]

Both sun visors with screws with your name if you want them?

[DURTYEF3]

Welcome back ya gypsy!

[OPTIONed]

dayum creat a 290kw beast and you gain so much street respect that people just give you shit for free!!!

[STina]

Haha I don't think there is a huge second hand market for sun visors

[EVLTEK]

Haha thanks guys.

STina, sounds good man. I'll pm ya.

[Coupe-R]

Can that wastegate, or manifold to wastegate pipe flow enough enough to only hold 7psi. That might be your problem, physcially cannot dump enough to only run 7psi.
Sometimes plumbing back wastegate pipe actually helps this problem (if you are dumping to atmo right now?)

Welcome back, get it on the track

[Lith]

Awesome - welcome back, look forward to seeing how this comes along... track times!!

[VTECKN]

About time Adam me wanna see track times aswell

[EVLTEK]

Hey dude. I am running a 60mm wastegate on purpose so it can flow enough to dump the air needed, or not needed as the case may be....it's plummed in at the moment with 2 1/2 inch plumback pipe!

[G-FX]

booya! welcome back adam.. hope USA was a good adventure, back to cold NZ aye

[g0at]

Welcome back bud. Bet you're stoked you didn't end up selling this monster. Bring it to NIMM! Looks like there will be a few of us higher power boosted guys there this year.

[EVLTEK]

Haha thanks guys.....tbh having the $$ sounds good right now but I do need to get some driving pleasure out of it now

[avjoe]

high power boosting guys... ill be 10psi!! woooh yeah mad. like the bitch of the group haha

edit: in other words you'll be making more wkw than i will be crank hp!

[EVLTEK]

Took a good friend for a quick blat tonight. He was supposed to film a couple things. Go to check afterwards and he had his phone set on camera instead of video - FAIL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

[OPTIONed]

take me for a blat....il make sure my phone is on video

[EVLTEK]

An Update!!!

Next weekend the interior is getting painted (by me and Rocky). So I started stripping out the rear lights/wiring/latches etc. I think started painting but unfortunately the paint I have is a lot more orange then the colour of the car so it doesn't look too flash - a shame cause i have 4 cans of this lying around, SO i'll have to track down something a little more RED. Either way it was nice to use some tools again.

[avjoe]

If you sell the running gear what will you replace with?

[EVLTEK]

Nothing - will just part the car out......don't have the time for racing cars - new job, baby on the way etc... boring huh.

[eg9hondata]

Just keep it,put it away for a later date to play with..shame to build this to pull apart..Do it for you,do it for ya baby..haha..

[EVLTEK]

Haha

[g0at]
