Tried what dann said. It didn't work, so I'm picking up a new injector Monday. Hopefully make some more progress then.

But from what we had it set at last night. 3cylinders and running off actuator it pulled a lot harder so it makes me super excited to see what I can get out of it. Equips are off it and the 6uls are on with the car raised. I'll pull some camber out of it Monday so it will be sitting better :)

Updates soon so stay tuned.

Update:

So the car got tuned last week. Few things happened though. The injectors that i got cleaned and flow tested kept farking up again at the tuners so we just swapped some nb injectors in for the time being. Due to that happening we just ran it off the actuator and the car made 160 rwhp on 6 psi @ 6000rpm. Pretty happy with those numbers.. Rev limit is set at 6 because any higher and it starts to get lean.

Ordered some new injectors friday arvo so they should be here monday/tuesday. Over the weekend i got to drive it aswell which was really good.

First impressions:
Clutch is hard to take off in.. Stalled the car 10000000x lol :P
Power increase is really good. But i do want more.
Next to no lag.
Skids easy :P

Last night i drove it hard for a bit to see how it would handle. Woke up this morning and went out to be welcomed to a small pool of oil on my drive way :|. Damn oil cooler lines are leaking where the fittings bolt to the cooler. Thermo fans no longer work for some reason. Coolant leak somewhere and yeah thats about it.

So this week ill be sorting out the catch can and plumbing that in, getting new lines for the oil cooler made up. Fixing thermos, Fitting new injectors and maybe ill wire in my tacho :)

Big week ahead. Updates within the next couple of days :)

They look stunning, can't wait to see them on the car.
If you had access to a car like this, would you take it back right away? Neither would I.
