hey mate , yes im in Christchurch at the moment , i am pretty much ready to go apart from a few hose clamps and just finish off i/c pipework and turbo inlet,
did you fit aftermarket ecu's or just stock ? i have started the wireing on factory ecu but it does have me a little stumped as im not 100 % on where power should go onto the loom ,
i have no idea what it will go like want to keep it all fairly stock for a bit but so far everything has gone quite well . any help on computer and loom would be good , most of the one i have seen on trade me etc seem to run aftermarket, i may go down that road yet but so far the build has been relatively cheep , buy the time i got ecu and tune would nerly double the price of what ive spent already , how far into your express are you ?
I used an old haltech e6k i wired up, i put it in the same spot as the factory ecu. Factory ecu wont be too hard to do, Im doing a link g4 evo 9 plugin in my new van so have to wire it up like an evo 9. Check mynew vans build thread in the members ride section.
I copied and posted this from another forum, few pics and vids to get you motivated.
2000 Mitsubishi L300 van with a 4G64 2.4L turbo 5 speed manual. It has Mitsubishi legnum VR4 16inch rims, lowered 2 inchs rear and 1.5 inchs front. I got hold of an LSD center from a L200 ute for $100 which is fucken cheap, before I had the LSD the van would just fry 1 tyre and not go any wear. Now it bags up both but hooks up quite well. I wanted to build a sleeper so the out side of the van looks quite standard and isn't too loud at idle, it also has a tow bar, a "I love lawn bowls" sticker on the back and retains the standard 1.5 inch exhaust out the back but isn't hooked up.
It was built on a budget out of alot of free parts and dodgy welding and fabrication.
-Walbro intank pump
-50/50 mix Water methylated spirits injection with a 5L plastic fuel can converted.
-cheap 3inch pod filter with a whitey bend intake.
-IHI VF 23 wrx sti turbo (way too small)
-DIY log manifold
-3inch dump into home made 3inch muffler box that dumps a foot before the diff under the car.
-De capped WRX injectors 800+cc's
-Bored out standard throttle body from 55mm to 60mm using a standard wrx throttle blade with ported manifold.
-Reground turbo cam
-Haltech E6K ECU street tuned by me with a wideband and chassis ears.
-2 step limiter that I see 10psi with cut set at 3800rpm (shoots flames)
-Diy shift light by using 4 LED's in the dash.
This car was a great learning experience and is fucken fun to drive . I have had quite a few races to about 130kph against a few modded evos, skylines and STIs and have beaten all of them by at least 1/2 a van length . I tried to play with a 2jz turbo supra last night but he just laughed and shook his head lol, I was a bit disappointed. I see 12psi of boost by 2400rpm and it pulls hard to 7000rpm. (made 300whp on the dyno)
