You have PM John (or will do in two minutes)

Good work Dom; nice to see you getting your hands dirty (literally I see

)

Haha yeah ran out of gloves, the Mrs has not been happy with all the oily hand prints which leave a trail to the shed!

Started the car up tonight and it purred away with no issues, the manifold and wrap smoked abit once it got up to temp which is to be expected.

Couple of things I have noted which I need to give some thought.... AFR are at 10 at idle which is pretty rich I believe. Also once I had the car switched off for a few mins I could not touch the top of the turbo intake side. Pretty sure thats to be expected as rotaries generate so much heat, I am just really worried the car is not running right and I might break some of the new kit. Reason I say this is the old manifold was red on the inside, does this mean it was running too hot?

I am going to speak to a mapper and see if its worth reseting the car back to base map before driving the car to be mapped.

Sorry for the rambling!

Next to do...

Heat shield silicone pipes near turbo
Fit HKS SSQ 4 which I have brought
Buy air filter and IC piping
Buy guage pod
Fit EGT gauge
Fit upper heat shield
Fit new loom
Map
Rag it

Sounds like you have all bases covered, and I would definitely check with a mapper before you give it any boost.

Oh yeah guys, not going near any sort of boost until the car has been mapped. I will ring a mapper tomorrow

Be interesting what power this will make. 400bhp you reckon?

360 at the wheels is doable according to blizboy on this setup. Also I am going to get my boost controller setup to aid spool, the idea being I have really useable power. Can't wait!

As its ported it might be a bit more. Should make very quick response power though.

Yeah you're right... Not sure how big the street port on it is, given the fact its running 3mm apex seals I think they should be fairly large

My target would be 400 at the wheels but I dont think it will happen as I am not sure the turbo will flow enough.

Good luck with the map today Dom.
