Part1
Righto folks, sorry haven’t updated in a few weeks I have been busy with stuff.Still no sign of the new setup
but I have plenty of other stuff to keep me busy.My clutch finally started to let go after about 7k miles on my Hybrid setup, not bad really when you consider the abuse it got, I have decided to go for a DMF again and a uprated Sachs clutch, I want to keep the OEM feel and after a lot of reading around I think this will do the trick nicely, I plan to order it and can hopefully do the setup start to finish for about 1k, I will keep you posted.
I have done tons of small work on the car, bits and bobs here and there and made sure I snapped a few pictures along the way.
So here we go:
1: New Genesis 550cc injectors with harnesses, waiting on delivery.
2: New MAF, airflow are back to consistent 250+ reading.
3: Setup of super low mileage Eiback Pro-Street-S coilover, mounts etc.. installed.
4: New AutoMeter Sport-Comp II gauage installed.
5: B-Hague Headrest camera mount and Iphone adapter.
6: Refurbed my Liguid Gauge vent install.
7: Set of Vredestein Ultra Sessanta’s, happy days.
8: New WMI nozzle mount. update tomorrow.
1. We’ll start with the Injectors, I am currently running my 440cc injectors are 4 bar, so about 510cc in flow altogether but I can’t
help feelling in the back of my mind the fuel pump is under pressure, 4bar FPR + 1.7 bar boost is 5.7bar fuel rail pressure.When I get the 550cc installed I will go back to the 3 bar FPR and give my fuel pump a break. After reading tons of stuff on the Genesis 550cc injectors they seem to be the favoured injector for tuners with great
reviews, mine are enroute at the moment, no doubt they are sitting in customs while they figure out the import tax BS. Will have to tweak the remap for these bad boys, worth it though.

2. My G/S was slowly decreasing over the past few weeks, so I bought a new MAF and they are back to a consistent 250g/s+ at 7k rpm, my last MAF only lasted 8months, I am slightly annoyed at this. As you can see from the Dyno picture I found out my rev limiter is about 7500rpm, LOL.
3. I was lucky enough to pick up a set of Eibach coilovers for next to nothing, they had 2k miles on them and were solid. I suspected my Jamex coilovers were fcuked, I was right when I got them off the car they were in shite, especially the left one, zero rebound. I am happy with the Eibach, the ride is nice, not to harsh, very nice on cornering. I did the usual install, mount, strut nuts etc… Some pic’s from the install:
Old Jamex, fit for the bin.
New Eibach ready to go in.
In.
Torqued up.
My hands were to dirty to take pic’s of the rear install, but you get the idea.
4. I have owened about 4 Boost gauges over the last while, all reading in bar and all low end.I tested them all while I simultaneously connected them to a line and pressurised it, no surprise they all read different, some high some low, all wrong though.
I decided to fork out abit of extra cash on a tried and tested gauge, so I bought an AutoMeter Sport-Comp II, the second I held this in my hand I could feel the superior build quality and its super accurate. In addition i went for the PSI this time, it really helps tune the boost better when using an MBC, I am very happy with this purchase.
5. B-hague Camera mount, I got sick of trying to hold my iPhone steady while trying to record, not to mention its dangerous and just stupid. This piece of kit is really slick, I still have a bit of tweaking to do but overall all I am chuffed with it.
I put up some vids on my Youtube channel, check’em out.
