the pics come out better than the eye.
the main reason i got it is that its a solid car no rust
a good base to work with just macanically a dog at the min.
not going to mod it to much its got new turbo with screemer pipe
new s/s exhaust air filter bleed valve set at 1 bar turbo timer and boost gauge
thats it for now.
list of mods is.
255 fuel pump
digital boost controller set to 1bar.
8mm leads
iridium plugs
stage 2 padle clutch/alloy flywheel.and ill be happy:
can anyone tell me what bhp roughly ill be running at the flywheel.

 

[ElDopesta]

A safe bet would be to say around the 290 mark.

Does it have a de-cat or what???

it passed mot no probs just warning both rear tyres inner edge near legal limit.
so two tyres and get the 4 wheel alingnment sorted out.
if it still loose at the back get the bushes looked at.

I love me 1's 2s and 3's, you made a smart choice pal!

If you need bits I have loads but don't tell el because I get um off him

I got a RalliArt ECU if you ever feel the need for more power.

is that a bolt on or would i need a re map what gains will i get

straight swap over really.
amongst other features; The turbo will kick in at 2.5k instead of the normal 3k.

You will get a stronger sharper boost so no need for an expensive controller (instead you will be better off with a 1.5 bar actuator which will do the trick and they are quite cheap and easy to get hold of).

The fueling on the ECU is already programmed to compensate upto 1.5 bar boost so there wont be any detting going on.

The rad fan will kick in as soon as you start the car and will go off when you drive. It will come back on when you are at stand still in traffic etc and it is set to kick in at a lower temperature then the standard programme to keep the engine temperature running at the pre determined optimum temperature. The fan will stay on whilst the turbo timer is on, if you have one which helps cool everything down at that stage too.

This is a genuine RalliArt ECU and not a programmed unit. When it came out new it retailed at £2800 and is as rare as $2.oo ho!

I am after peanuts for it compared to that obviously!

 

[ElDopesta]

it passed mot no probs

That's good news to hear buddy!

Make sure you go to some one that is known for tracking cars right and not just any old clown!!!

Not that I have paid THAT MUCH attention but from what I can see:

Mitsi Rear Badge
Flaps on all 4's
HT Leads & Magnecore Sticker
Stainless Heat Shield/Dressing
Brake Light

If I missed anything then it is because of your camera

I know that I keep on plugging you stuff buddy, but seeing that Stainless Heat Shield reminded me that I have a nice Chrome Rocker Cover if you are interested???

It will bling that bay out for sure and make your car stand out from the rest as I have only ever come across one Evo that had it and that was in Belgium a good few years back. I was saving it for my next project but if you want it, you know where I am
