Picked up the car this morning and showed Unigroup the camshaft and rocker, suggestion it could be a hydralic lifter problem but noted that on the dyno the car felt very strong and no sign of any missing or faults.
Was able to put a little bit more boost into the car and adjust the wastegate to bring it on sooner but it would only hold 17psi at peak boost. I think we are at about the most we can get out of the GTRS and will need to go to a larger turbo.
Took the car for a drive and it feels strong, starting in 4th from 3000rpm it pulls good then as the boost comes further on you can really feel the surge ahead. On off throttle and blips it is quick to respond and generally the car feels really alive.
Drove out the road and realise after a call from Michele i had left my rego papers there so turned around and picked them up. I didn't havre lots of fuel in the car but thought i could make it to James to check out his progress and bum around for a bit but about 5min away from James Unigroup call to say i left my keys there.
Had to say a quick hello they go back to unigroup and pick up the house keys, i reckon i would forget my head if it wasn't screwed on!!!!
Made it back home ok but worried about how much i can get out of a tank of fuel.
Car still has a few knocks in the steering which i think is the rack as replaced the tie rods which were gone anyway. It could be the steering wheel simply not bolted on properly which i have had before but not sure.
Got to replace the wiring for the DL1 as it is to light duty and get interference as well as affected by head so now the water temp sensor is not working.
Also fit exhaust and fit oil leak - it never ends.
