Where do you take your MAP from Wally, have you drilled and tapped the manifolds?

Yes, tapped all 4 ports and have them come together in one box with some more fittings for MAP sensor, waste-gate, EBC, BOV and fpr. 9 connections in all therefore...

Finally I got all parts to install the Sard FPR:





Tnx Sandeep; spring 2010 is already behind us, how is your engine comming along?

Cool! What did set your fuel pressure at? Will you have change your maps or can the DTA adapt and still use the current maps?

I have all of the parts to put the long block together, and all of the induction system, and electronics but still have to build a horizontal fan set up.

My biggest issue right now is finding a twin spark knock control system, and until I find something that exists / works like a J&S, I am not in a rush to build

PLEASE post some video of your runs at SPA.

Good thinking. By now I know its almost only one thing that breaks a turbo engine and that is knock, so I hear you loud and clear. Wish I could help you with an idea, but I haven't got one yet..

No worries about the vid of the track driving. I hope somebody also films from the stands so you can see more bugs driving by on the track
I have the Water/meth tank filled up, brought some spare 98/93 with me and am packing my camping gear.

And I hope it will stay dry weather...

It just doesn't get any better then this...





Saturday was a 'mildly moist' condition and I did 1,5 hours of non-stop track driving.
Sunday was a beautifull day at Spa and track driving in the dry was so much more spectaculair. We drove one hour full on and the engine held in at only half an hour as it was already then short of fuel (25 ltrs gone)
I only filmed saturday as I left the camera running till the disk was full (26 minutes). Unfortunately, that also doesn't work with youtube (max 10), so I'll have to cut it somehow. Will take a bit
But its just great to see the Race Taxi coming in your mirror and overtake you at Spa

The track is 7 km long and soooo beautifull. Its like a small version in length of the Nurburgring, but a bigger version as far as the track width and corners are concerned.

That's a great picture Walter!

Finally we shook hands. It was nice to meet you, although the circumstances were not as good as above picture. I'm glad we together could fix the clutch problem and you could drive home!

When you drove next to Erik near Arnhem and you lift the gas pedal a huge flam left the exhaust. Awesome view tho.

Erik promised not to make any pictures, so I did.

[Wally]

Haha! Yeah, I was very lucky you guys 'Mc guyvered' me out there. Muchos gracias again!
Was indeed cool meeting you guys, alyhough circumstances could have been better. I actually made it just till home as on the driveway, the clutch pedal was too far gone again and had to push the car into the garage the last 5 meters
Well, I have 2 weeks to find the hydraulic leak
The driving back with 3 fat chicks in a row on the highway was great fun. I must say Erik kept a pretty decent average speed
Great pics too! Funny thing is: 2 days of full-on track driving and all goes well. I cruise home and all stupid small ancilleries crap out on me...

One more, cause it was such a thrill to be there:
