Dropped the steering column about 50mm and put quick release hub under steering wheel. Now it is about 70mm closer to seat. Quite good for now.

New breather tank for engine and water expansion tank for radiator.

Drove few meters in the light rain without wind screen whipers. Everything seams to be working almost ok.



Bit of a forward lean now...

A bit more bling bling into engine bay

And then picture of engine bay. Missing few hose clamps, but it is almost finished now! I booked dynotime for 10.7. and this time I am certain that I will get there. Things are getting intresting!

hope the dyno goes fine!!

good luck!

are you going on some event this summer?

[keme]

I am hoping that I could go to VRCF trackday on Botniaring and Saab club trackday on Ahvenisto. Before those maybe WCSC quarter mile event in Pori, but it is very big maybe.

Today is the D-Day

End result was 454hp / 535Nm @ 1.4 bar boost with E85. 840cc injectors were fully open ~about 5900rpm and rev limiter hit at 7200. So with bigger injectors, bigger fuel pump and more boost there will be more power Now I will add second fuel pump just to be sure that fuel pressure won´t drop at high rpm, but injectors and more boost will be left for next summer.

Any how I am very satisfied with this!
