By request here is my build thread. It's not that unusual or groundbreaking but I though i'd post one up showing the progress of the car.
Grab a beer or coffee and enjoy! I picked up a standard 1.8 a little under 2 years ago from an ex Mazda service manager. pretty much standard other than a grubby K&N pod filter but it was clean, slow and wobbly but clean and full of charm. I made the choice to buy the first one I saw (I know that's bad but hey, time to spend driving to look at cars is time I didnt have) Here she was, crappy and slow but she was mine and I was in love. Attachment 176545 Attachment 176546 Attachment 176547 Attachment 176548 Factory billsteins and torsen lsd were two of the s-special extras Attachment 176549 Blowing jap box came off and was replaced with a nice stainless system and then my love for tinkering was re-ignited Attachment 176550 Timing was way out and at 14deg she livened up Attachment 176551 Then the arc box and a decat... still gutless... i'm going to have to spend money here... Attachment 176552 cambelt, immobiliser and alloy refurb and the cost were clocking up... cheap runaround phah! Attachment 176553 Attachment 176554 Attachment 176555 This relic arrived and was returned and a chinacharger purchased... I was naive and it lasted a while but I'll but the real deal from now on. Attachment 176556 Attachment 176557 And then injectors and a few other bits before being packed off for a basic (but effective) turbo install Attachment 176558 Attachment 176559 Attachment 176560 Attachment 176561 Attachment 176562 Attachment 176563 Attachment 176564 She felt potent enough but there was still much to do... |

So my latest project is a powdercoated and ported inlet manifold and skunk2 throttle body plus thermal spacers. I've installed it over the last few days in little stints and she is looking and driving well.
The previous dyno from the day before I started fitting is here and nothing has been touched since. I'll have it re dynoed next week (15 psi and td04l) Attachment 176730 Here's some pics from the process Attachment 176731 Attachment 176732 Attachment 176733 Attachment 176734 Attachment 176735 Attachment 176736 Attachment 176737 Attachment 176738 Attachment 176739 Attachment 176740 |
