MaidenVR6 26 Posted May 8, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2007 Are you brakes okay with the sand in them?rest looks greatI had only one choice, and that was to but sand in there, because the fire was pretty big. But no damage was done, and I had a couple off rounds on the track just to cool it all down. Link to post Share on other sites

MaidenVR6 26 Posted June 2, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2007 Ok, so I got all the parts that I need now. So when finishing work, it was straight down to the garage to check if the new C2 Ecu was working on my Euro car. OBD2.First we changed the injectors, and was gonna put on the 95mm maf:Then the problem came... Look at the red signs. Plastic pins. "This is the C2 ECU:And look at the red signs here. No plastic pins "My OEM Euro ECU"The plastic pins prevent it from sliding in,Apart from this, all the pins and everything look exacly the same.Dremel was the first thing in my mind. But..No answer from C2 yet... Its been like this since thursday:::::::::: Link to post Share on other sites

MaidenVR6 26 Posted June 19, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2007 Ok, some updates...The fitting with my Garrett T04S 60/1 Turbo is very tight. So something needs to be done here.Intercooler mounting:And the very first start up, with a USA ECU from C2 Motorsports: "Yes it looks like im 16 year all over again:)" I was 16 in 1994:) Clip 2: I managed to connect the vacum hoses wrong, so on the forst test drive I had TO much boost. I mean NO traction with a Peloquin i 3rd gear on dry asfalt. Got to 4rd gear, and it was still NO traction at the beggining. Now its some work left to be done. And the car are gonna have 15 psi.

Big_Bob 0 Posted June 20, 2007 Report Share Posted June 20, 2007 All those bits must have cost a small fortune in Oslo mate! I've "lived" in Oslo for the past year so know how expensive it is! And with the speeding fines and all that, where do you get to use all those horses? Link to post Share on other sites
