Updates....
A couple of weeks ago My thermostat decided not to open at all which caused the engine to get a bit hot!
I replaced it with a genuine Honda thermostat as I found it was the best value for money and is a decent quality item.
The previous thermostat was a gates that I put in less than 2000 miles ago.
I was then able to take the car on another run down to
@jesse888 for another tuning session.
We had some fun this time
We are now tuned up to 1.25bar, Man it is quick now!!! To say I'm happy with it is an understatement.
It pulls like a train and around 6-7.5k it really hits a sweet spot.
Rev limit is now at 8900rpm and is approximately 1.1bar at the limiter.
The drop in boost at high rpm is most likely down to the manifold restriction but I'm very happy for now.
On the way home though I did notice a manifold blow.
Can you spot the problem? Lol
The manifold to Turbo flange gasket was no longer there! Burnt somewhat....
Luckily my friend at work had an nice thick T3 flange gasket in his toolbox! Cheers Brad!
I got this fitted at 5pm the day before Japfest, headed down and found that the gasket must have been blowing towards the end of our tuning session as I was now hitting 1.42bar!
I adjusted the controller back down to 1.25bar just for safety.
Japfest was good fun, was nice to see familiar faces and see everyone's cars.
I didn't get to meet everyone unfortunately. Sorry if I missed you.
Not sure if I'll attend any more car shows this year......
Got some Trackdays booked though! Brands this month and Snetterton in July.
