Been fighting sensor gremlins all day and finally after switching out the VR sensor, it started normally and even restarted hot..pfft.
I had to remodify a LOT of stuff I had changed because of the 1200T install. Things I even had forgot I changed... Anyways, hopefully I can do some tuning tomorrow.
Plan is still to try to do a Nurburgring trackday which is comning friday (!). Even if it runs ok-ish on time (whatever that may be), I hope I can still get on the list for the trackday. Fingers crossed.

I did need to add about 8% in the fuel map without load, so I am just as curieus as you guys if she makes more hp at the same boost now with the new cam.
There is a new dynoday end of september, but I think I will be on it a little sooner if everything stays in one piece.

Your starting to be right: did the first real test drive yesterday and it drove just awesome! Car felt much more nimble and this smaller turbo seemed ready everytime. Cruising in 5th doing 75 mph and overtaking just by a mm more pedal is very cool. The bigger turbo needed noticebly more time for that.
Having full compression again because of straigth rods probably helped too
The bigger cam with n/a LC of 108 degrees combined with the smaller turbo seems to work out very well so far. Hope it carries the distance in the rpm range later too.
Clutch is more heavy (stage 2-ish feel, I had stage 1), but very doable and the lighter rotating assembly makes for a rev happy, real sporty engine, despite the low static CR and being turbo
Love it so far!

Sounds great Wally! You might not make more power,but maybe a better torque curve and more useable power? That would be much better on the track anyways.So looks like you will raising the bar once again...that´s great!

Just did another test drive at 1 bar boost and I am not too sure if I am not making more power. I usually get this scared (heart pounding in your throat when you keep your foot in it and car takes off) from 1.3 bar boost onwards...
I also had to add a LOT of fuel in the upper rpm ranges now as well, so not sure where this turbo runs out of breath, but at lower boost, I have a distinct feeling it now makes a lot more hp.

Also made a new rear apron-engine sealing plate:




Soooo looking forward driving at the Ring again!

Well if it doesn't scare the crap out of you it's not fast enough! Don't forget the HD video camera when you go the ring!

One quick question: where did you get the degree decal for your pulley? From MSS? I have the same pulley and would like to have the timing marks/ degrees on it also.

Good eye!
I think I had one still lying around from Ahnendorp. Its 145mm and probably a US item (buckpack or similar) originally?

Gene Berg makes one that use. Is of really good quality, and easy to install.

Painted the front hood by myself with a rattle can and put a 25+ years decall on it on both sides
We must at least look good at the Ring if speed will be disappointing

Wally the monster looks great and you will have the time of your life. Just a question really. Is it possible for your intercooler to be tucked inside the engine space. I saw this http://www.turboboxer.de/ and I was really impressed because you cannot really tell just by looking at the car if it has a natural aspirated engine or a turbo monster in there.

Sure, but it will be less effective.
Functionality over form/looks and all that

BTW the ring was great! Perfect weather and the 3.5 km straight was 'interesting' especially since its not flat at all. Combined with a good cross/head wind I had to limit speed to 200-205 km/h on the straight.
I now even more understand why car companies test their new models there. I now think I need/want more suspension work done 4sure.

Engine and car held up great again :-)
Can't find pictures from the day itself yet though. Hopefully later this week?
