thanks guys, havent driven it yet with the above tune, only with the 390whp from last week and it felt like a rocket so cant wait to get this timing problem sorted and thrash it haha. Yeah the guys at Autobarn sent the leads back, they are going to get some new top of the range ones made up instead, though the ones i had werent exactly cheap lol. For now the shitty old magnecores are working well. I have a feeling the rear muffler is robbing a bit of power, next time at the dyno we'll check exhaust backpressure. The one that is on it now is a single 3inch in, then splits into two 2.5inch sections which follow a nasty looking path inside, some of the turns are pie cuts and dont really line up properley inside, sure doesnt look pretty when you shine a light inside.

thats making some awsome power

what power are you aiming for?

about 450-470 on pump on high boost

I drove the car for the first time today with 430whp, i still cant wipe the smile from my face The power delivery is smooth but brutal, mash it in 2nd and the arse end slides around a bit, its so much fun hahaha.

After 18 months of blood,sweat and tears I finally get to experience what ive worked so hard towards and im stoked. woohoo haha

congratulations on ur build, thats an awesome evo. i just sat here and read everything . what sort of computer are u running? are jhh really good with their work? were they able fix gasket problem without any dramas. once again thats a pretty crazy street car, congrats and best of luck with it

[JC evo1]

thanks! The ecu is an E6K, very old now but it seems to do the job. Yeah JHH are great, the leaking gasket was a bummer but they stand behind their work so if it ever starts leaking they will help me pull the head off and redo it. The 3bond seems to have fixed the leak, touch wood. lol
