Then to set up the Dawes duel stage boost controller. Had a ball and spring boost controller and a solenoid to switch between actuator pressure and whatever the Dawes mbs is set to. Do have an AVC-R just don't have the time to spend setting it up correctly so this is the second best thing until after Le Mans.
All plumbed in. Just needs wiring to switch the solenoid and the Dawes mbc setting up. Only running actuator pressure atm.
Next up is a 2.5inch alloy intake pipe to replace the rubber double bend pipe I ripped out yesterday. Nice smooth 90 degree bend to air air intake. Filter also now sits at a much better position.
What a mess :embarrest:
Not many pictures on this next upgrade as it was a fairly big job and I just didn't have the time or want to keep stopping. Basically I upgraded the whole of the boost piping to 51mm, removed the side-mount IC and fitted an FMIC.
Bare in mind this was all custom work using pipes I'd worked out and ordered ahead of time. All the pipes had to be cut and the ends flared so the boost hoses wouldn't slip off. There is no off-the-shelf kit for this. Even the FMIC is a universal one.
I even had to move the radiator over a few inches and drill a new mounting hole for it, plus remount the oil cooler as it's attached to the SMIC normally. Plus make a bracket to hold the boost pipes to the gearbox underneath.
Some pictures...
Also cut the slats out of the front bumper for greater airflow. Needs tidying up when the whole car gets resprayed. Function over form and all that
So there she is all back together with the coilovers highered about 10mm just to make daily driving to Le Mans a bit better but also hardened up a couple of click
What do you think?
