Benzo's new ride

[TBOWGN]

Whats this part you got for your ecmlink Benny? Still learning about it all, trying to work out if ill need to get the same for mine....

 

[evo-gsr]

Its an obd port to flash it with if Im not mistaken.

 

[TBOWGN]

Okay, which does what? More tuning options?

 

[MDK87]

It is the OBD to USB comms cable which is necessary if you plan to make any changes to the memory (i.e use it for what it was intended). You need it if you don't already have one Lars.

Nice job Ben! The interior is looking much better.
When are you going to put that 60mm turbo on?

 

[evo-gsr]

Yeah..hurry up and get it going faster!

 

[Benzo4gT]

Yeah, I'm on it guys. Since my uni has gone broke and another uni is taking it over and NOT guaranteeing credit for subjects completed under the previous one, it seems I'll have a bit more time due to dropping this semester and next and waiting for the new guys to tell me I have to start again...............FAAAAAARK!!!!!!

On the upside..........time! Time to get it going on, 1000cc injectors, SD, wideband, ECMlink, blah blah.

 

[evo-gsr]

Any e85 or eflex near you? That would be an advantage if it is nearby.

 

[Benzo4gT]

It's about a 60km round trip for E85, not a viable thing at this point

 

[evo-gsr]

Thats not too bad....it would be worth the trip! Just fill the back of the rvr up with jerry cans and get enough for 2 weeks.
Unless its a daily??

 

[Benzo4gT]

Good point, it's not a daily so it might be worth a look. I'll have to change fuel pump and lines.

 

[4piknup]

20% more powa on e85

Good point, it's not a daily so it might be worth a look. I'll have to change fuel pump and lines.

You'll only need to change the pump, lines will be fine.

Worth doing the feed from the filter to rail, before that is not so bad, just be sure to change ya filter a couple of times shortly after the change, ethanol strips the dirt and crap out of the lines and can block the filter or injectors causing massive heart ache! But is definately worth doing!

 

[evo-gsr]

No need to change lines as Vinnie said. If you going to change the one mentioned above (which isnt a must) better off to get rid of banjo bolt in top of filter and replace with a -6 fitting that is a major restriction that banjo bolt.
I only replaced mine to get the flow up...
-6 fitting out of filter then teflon -6 lines and -6 fittings on each end of fuel rail.

 

[evo-gsr]

Also..the suggestion of a few filter changes in quick succesion is a must too...it definitely cleans everything!
Possibly even have to change filter sock on pump too..mine was blocked with shit badly

UPDATE:

I put some peel coat on the HSG today, it is dead flat, peel-able.........and hides the damage on the front bar because I couldn't be arsed taking it off to be repaired.



I also removed the rear spoiler and put on an SG one which suits the look I want for the car. I am going to put a nimbus rear bar on soon, but I need to change the exhaust system to make it work. I'll post better pics when done.

 

[Koko08]

Swap yah my SG Manuel :b

 

[Benzo4gT]

Swap yah my SG Manuel :b

Tempting, but no

I completed some more weight reduction on it yesterday, I got rid of another 21kg bringing it to a total of just over 100kg that I've shed from the car. This is a 7% weight reduction, most of which was above or behind the rear axle. I have left all of the insulation in the car, I like it to be as refined as it can be without being unbearable over the distances I have to drive to meet anyone else with a mitso

 

[TBOWGN]

I like the flat matt black finish mate.... Got another pic looking from front to back?

 

[Benzo4gT]

Getting some fresh rubber for my Evo 8 rims, will post pics when sorted
