Update time
Well it's been a few weeks so time for another update.
Running in period is over and the cars done it's first trackday since the rebuild
Managed to clock up the first 500 miles within 5 days so then carried out an oil and filter change switching from mineral oil to 10w40 semi synthetic and raised my rev limit to 5k.
4 days later saw another 500 miles racked up so it was time for yet another oil and filter change but this time onto 5w40 fully synthetic and more importantly time to open it up properly
First impression were more than expected, spool up time has reduced by approx 500rpm so it's hitting full boost around the 2800rpm mark now which makes it almost like my old k03s set-up.
After racking up another 500 miles i decided to dump the oil and filter again before i took it on track at Lydden, during the day the car developed a slight overfueling
problem at idle but looked great on track by all accounts throwing flames out the exhaust for most of the day
Once the day was over it was driven home and left in the garage and almost untouched for 2 weeks as i've been busy with the rebuild on Martin's engine.
When i got a chance i decided to have a look at the
problem with the fueling, managed to trace the fault to a dirty maf sensor, during the day at Lydden the pas resivoir had been throwing out fluid which had slowly made it's way down the filter onto the maf and coated it in fluid (hence it reading wrong at idle but okay/ish when under load on track)
I've cleaned the maf sensor and housing out and all is now okay although i'll probably stick a new maf on it soon.
Next on the list is hopefully a 3" downpipe and then a tweek of the map to take advantage of the new internals.
