Well for 2017 i think this is probably it. In 2018 I will fit a bigger intank pump and a better intercooler, turn up the boost and see what happens! In starting to get the trackday bug though, fancy going back to spa next summer and pumping in some quick laps. Looks like the chassis will get...

So 2 Nurburgring, and one spa trip later I think an update is due! Straight to the nitty gritty. Well actually first off a big shout to Andy and his team at storm developments for making this all possible, the last minute works on the car, the late night on the road mapping sessions to extract...

did my first 100-200kmh run last night. 640hp @ 1.5 bar boost Manual transmission 99 ron v power no WMI. Raining and syvecs TC pulling engine torque to prevent wheelspin Did a 5.6 100-200kmh. Will do some runs in the dry when the ecu wont pull power and run my full fat antilag map too, and...

Bring on the boost!

UPDATE! Initial mapping started. 470 bhp @ 0.7 bar 630bhp @ 1.4 bar 650bhp @ 1.5 bar then ran out of intank pump fuelling. Bigger intank pump incoming. Video of the 1.4 bar run. Then decided to upgrade the brakes. 335mm j-hook rears. Then did the fronts. 380mm x 35mm brembo type 3...

Sounds brilliant, andy is pushing for me to do the conversion alsobut think the wallet will need to be recharged after this latest round of mods. Drove the car for the first time last week with syvecs, its not finished yet but got a little taster. How amazing is the syvecs traction control...

Hi mate, heard yours is done now with the dq500 conversion? As you know its never ending, constant shopping list but hope to pick it up soon and do some mileage

Update: A few more bits and bobs done, had some issues along the way but got them all sorted. Stock fuelling system is maxed out at 650hp so for ages been pondering about how to go about upgrading the fuelling. In the end the only way was to run an additional 5 injectors, as bigger DI ones...

So engine back in: Then trailered to speedfabuk near Cambridge to get the downpipe sorted to fit my new turbo. After that was done I then drove her home. The new exhaust system on the car is LOUD. Like the hells want to open up from the ground below. Now Im just fitting my new air...

Update: My gearbox was pulled apart and we found plenty of damage from the syncro failure. Diff seized also. Tried to buy a wavetrac but out of stock. Luckily I had a spare gearset so grabbed thay and dropped it off. Also as the new turbo has bigger inlet and outlets, the turbo no longer...

I cant wait! Engine pulled out and off to race developments for cams and valvetrain!

So in the meantime, this has happened:

Yeah they would with the right brackets, alot of people have done it

Update time: Gearbox wasnt fixed, still waiting on stronger syncros. In the meantime, ive bought some new mods and will be going for more power. Sach clutch and uprated pressure plate. Will be mating it with a stock dual mass flywhee. Then I bought some wide arches and had the body shop...

Right lets try a meaningful update here. May 2014 I went to the ring, and whilst in stop start traffic in belgium, the syncromesh went in 1st and 2nd gear. ******. Still made it to the ring and back though. Got back to england, bought a 2nd hand gearbox and fitted that. Fast forward to April...

No lsd, yet. Looking to get a diff fitted once the syncros are available and we have to strip the box down again anway.

So an update: The good the bad and the ugly. The bad: Syncro failed in 3 gearboxes. Spare gearbox casing broke at the mounts :O Injector 5 failed, replaced all 5 Melted wiring loom - replaced The Good: Did two ring trips Stronger syncro being developed Added more heat protection for cabling...
