Still some minor shit to work out, but it's road worthy.

Had some injector plugs switched and didn't know it, so it was a vaccum trip. Now that that's all sorted out, we're gonna head back to the dyno for real tuning. The most fun I had was stopping at gas stations along the way. People see me get out of the right side and look at me like their having a bad acid trip. It helps that the car is open downpipe and smells like corn too.

so in a rhd car, is the pedals/shifter the same orientation, or is it mirrored?

same just on the opposite side. feels strage going into 5th gear when i was playing with my rhd front clip.

Pedals and shift pattern is the same. It's not as hard to get used to as I thought it would be. I'm not ready to be speed shifting or anything, but it was a good first couple hours of driving. I'm gonna wash it and post more pics today.

Anything over 400 will be fine. We'll probably end up in the 420 range. Last week it made 260 with a boost leak and two injector clips mixed up. lol.

I'm using US wiper/light arms. The jap ones don't work without repinning them for the us harness.

ive had a couple of starlet gt in my hands as well as a couple of sir, the hardest things are to go in a drive through, and parking lots, it feels strange when you put reverse

So the tuner guy calls me at 4pm today to say he has time to tune it. Drive 45 minutes away and by then his girlfriend was on the way. I asked him if he's ever heard of "G's up hoes down" before, and he professed his love for being a fake ass bitch.

So, no matter how bomb-diggity he is with the E85 turbo, he's a bitch to me. I'm angry, and not taking pictures today.

agreed but all bullshit aside it does look really clean. RHD and wire tuck is sorta gay but damn it looks so good.

Stealthmode · « **Reply #27 on:** August 24, 2009, 07:20:44 PM »

Put it on the dyno today (again). Made 250 at 14psi falling out of vtec because I've got so much shit tapped into the tunertoys fitting. Guess Mr. anti sandwich plate will need one afterall. Once that's done, we're hitting 400 or burning it to the ground. More updates tomorrow.

I bought a sandwich plate and after looking at it, I couldn't make myself install it. Used the TT fitting too, but it only flows oil to the turbo. I'm guessing yours is flowing to the turbo and vtec? I'd find another way before putting a sandwich plate on there.

Stealthmode · « **Reply #29 on:** August 24, 2009, 07:39:54 PM »

The tunertoys fitting is supplying my turbo (restricted slightly in anticipation of this issue), the vtec head, and the mechanical gauge. With all of that going through a 1/8 port, it's just not enough flow.
