No way to low, I get more than that. But you already know the car is running too rich.

both. the injectors are maxed out at 8000rpm. so if i wanna do anything i have to go bigger injectors... great!

If thats hard driving it's probably about right. should get a lot more just cruising.

Also if the injectors are maxxing out u wanna upgrade these asap, no good for the engine if these are struggling. There should be something that will be a straight bolt in upgrade that shouldn't be too expensive. Let me know when u find em

Couldnt agree more. 6a13tt injectors are an upgrade. But there are also lots of other sizes as well

what are the 6a13 ones again?

or i could get magna 210cc ones?

the emanage has a feature that you can input previous injector size and current so it wont struggle to adapt

Valandis,
Did you ever get a compression test done?
How is this car doing?

I haven't yet!
Being at uni i dont really have time to work to pay for stuff to get done like i did last year...

I walk to uni every day so my car only gets driven about twice a week.
Its great because it keeps the k's down but i do enjoy driving it whenever i can!!!
Still very happy with it,
But theres definitely more in it that i will squeeze out of it in a couple of years.

Just dont have the coin for the R&D

The compression test is not difficult, and if you read up on it you an do it yourself at home. Just borrow a compression tester from a mechanic for a day so you don't need to buy one.

I hope everything works out well for you

Yeah easy enough to do yourself, just a pita with the FTO; u have to take all the intake manifold off etc. Also there's a section in the manuals from memory tells you what you need to do re the ecu / ignition etc.

There ya go, 8 full pages of horseshit removed

Let me know if you want it trimmed further lol

only 8 pages removed .

Hahaha thanks!

I might add some photos to the first post in regard to how i bought it and how it is now,

But cheers!
Definitely brought back memories going through it all

Wow..
I just read the whole thread...
Amazing stuff
Good effort man! You still need to throw it down a drag strip to see what it can do.

...and you still haven't revealed the total cost figure like you said you would?

And did you get bigger injectors in the end?
Just to share - I had CDH-275 ones at 7.5 psi and these weren't maxed out, tried 390cc ones first and didn't get on well with them due to cold start issues (over fuelling).

What did you get the 275 ones out of?

I got them from ebay us, there's usually a set on there if you search CDH-275, they are yellow ones.
Just searched now actually http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/00-04-MI ... 2a149715c3
