    I haven't asked anyone about the internal map sensor but in the maps it lets me select up to 30psi so its probably okay. I wont bother with the external one the hose is only 1.5m to the ecu.

    Boost control solenoid is connected. Wideband is connected, just waiting on a new sensor as it died...again. Just need to tap a hole for the temp sensor and the ecu is good to go.

    Dual intake sorted. The bov's are so loud now its ridiculous.
    Not sure where my oil cooler is going to go?

    Mikezah build thread incoming!

    I'm sure you'll squeeze it in there somewhere - or I guess if you have a front mount you could put it in the side in the original side mount location

    depending on the thickness of your cooler, look at putting it between the Air-Conditioning Condenser and the vertical radiator support bracket. Pretty sure you have 24mm gap standard. Not much to take a bit of meat out of the support for extra.

    Its fairly big. Might look at putting it on the side.

    Anti 14.7 x 14.7 = 44.1

    Pod filters look cool. Should be in the SMIC positions though!

    I'm slowly sorting out issues. Installed external 3 bar map sensor as the internal one IS limited to 22psi.

    Installed the intake air temp sensor today. It's amazing how hot it gets at idle, saw 75 degrees after 10 minutes of idling. It was raining but driving around with medium acceleration/boosting it was about 53 degrees.

    Next on the list is a Walbro 400lph pump to install. Also having an annoying stalling issue when decelerating and it's slow to start when it's warm.

    This is what it looks like under the kick panel now.
    Temp sensor for ac evaporator core is just dangling around at the moment another thing on the to do list.

    its for when the passenger digs his feet in from high boost, and it releases the nos

    It just like that button in LOST if it's not pushed at exactly the right time there will be an electromagnetic disaster of epic proportions...

    It's the calibration button for the LC-1 wideband.

    Your going with the walbro 400 lph pump too ?

    Yes, decided it was a simple solution. I was going to run twin 255lph and use the ecu to turn the second one on when needed but thought I'll just keep it simple.

    The Walbro 400lph isn't recommended for E85 though so if I ever decided to go that way I will have to get another pump.

    Says who?

    I'm running it as a lift pump

    OEM technology designed and developed for E85. All pumping components have been validated to OEM Specifications for approved use in E85/Flex fuel applications

    I was thinking to do a e85 run or two in immediate future so it better be e85 compatible lol

    You're right !

    Although many people have run the 400 with E85 without issues .. long term will be an issue.

    Looks like I'll be exchanging mine as wrong one was put in :(

    procky..for a couple of runs on E85 ,You'll be fine
    its when it sits in E85 longterm .
    I intend to run E85 most of the time

    Installed the Walbro 400lph pump. It's extremely quiet. I swapped the fuel lines in the tank so it doesn't go through the fuel pressure bypass valve anymore. I also took the guts out of the valve and put a couple of tack welds on it so it can't move anymore.

    Been doing a bit more work on the suspension.

    Fitted UAS camber arms, the build quality of these arms is absolutely top notch. I got the road/race versions looks like the max camber is about 3.5 degrees which is plenty for me.

    Fitted SPL HICAS lock kit. Build quality of these is very nice also.

    No fitted pics started getting late.

    And last of all I lifted the ride height up about 20mm. Ride quality has improved quite a lot. It's no to bad on crappy roads now.

    This afternoon installed tension rod brace and a new NA speed sensor for the 4.10 diff. Speedo still isn't working properly though :(

    I think that's about it for the suspension booked in for an alignment this week.
