Had 3.63s for a while, testing 3.308s now. Not quite ready for prime time but the ratio is so sweet. For a 300whp street car, they are perfect. Working with the MFG to improve them now.
Did I mention you are a handsome man Andrew!? :) Here I was going to go 3.63! Perfect gearing for the ZF5 and 6 speeds no? |

I think i'm going to like the car. It needs some small sorting and finishing. Having some NVH issues, but i have some low-hanging fruit to handle there. It drives a liiiiitttle more "manic" than i was hoping, but i'm not sure if dumbing it down from here is going to give me something i like to drive. Ride quality is outstanding, it sounds AWESOME, and looks cool. If i can get it to idle right (low when cold, high when hot, suspect IACV), CC to work, and get a nice stereo in it, it's going to be gucci. Downside: it's faster than my "race car." Feels bad. Hey Harry, you're overseas... any chance you have a "diagnostic flow" you could point me to for a JDM/EUDM 99-00? This car is running 100% as a BP5A equipped car, which as far as i know, means the OBD2 port isn't functional. (Certainly doesn't not have functioning CEL) |
Yes, it was towards you :P
BP5A means it would be identical to a EUDM 99-00 NB, which does not have an OBD2 AFAIK. I *think* I can find the factory diagnostic procedures, but I do not have them in hand at the moment (I drive a lame 1.6 NB2). Speaking of... here's my list. Base is a 2004 Strato Blue 1.6 NB2 with 5 speed box and sport brakes, 100k miles but very well maintained. I do not want to swap the 1.6 for now due to legislation; can be done, but it is a bit of a bureaucratic hassle to do so and be legal, and for sure I do not want risking my car to be confiscated. Car is/will be built with maybe 1% track time in mind (not that we have any worthy tracks around), 29% spirited driving on mountain passes/ b-roads (we have a TON of those) and 70% daily commute. Primary goal was an OEM+ build in all aspects, with a few retro-inspired details. Spec list/build plan below. ENGINE & TRANSMISSION Kraftwerks Rotrex C30/74 intercooled kit (have designed my own mounting solution and will modify a bit the plumbing) MS2 Enhanced ECU, AEM x-series wideband sensor, oil pressure/temp sensors/EGT Bosch EV14 620cc (Mustang GT500) injectors, rewired injector loom Toyota COPS IL Motorsport aluminum radiator Custom/Mocal oil/water heat exchanger Maxim works header Custom 2.5" exhaust w.
