Currently done about 1100km and engine is feeling looser....torque is very good at mid range, esp 3500 rpm onwards. Noise on full throttle is also quite menacing, but still needs a lot of tuning and setting up. Need to calibrate my knock sensor properly and activate the water injection. Water injection mapping will also take a lot of time, sigh, SP will need to have some proper work out session on dyno soon. Planning to get the ECU to activate the water injection based on 3D mapping ( load, tps and rpm input ) and to further fine tune max and min flow rate using the water injection controller fitted in the dash. Also need to fiddle around with the water/methanol ratio and may consider AV Gas for track days to reduce any chances of pre ignition (knock) and also to boost on the power figures. Lets see how it goes. Anyway heres some pictures of SP in its current state.

Nobody could do this better! To continue a legacy is one thing but to up the ante is a whole different ball game!
Yummy! Mugil, what's the current hp after second tuning? :)
simply awesome! the engine bay looks really neat! great stuffss!
Ben,
thank you for ur compliment.
Firdaus,
just oil change no second tuning yet
Nice stuff there mate. Very serious setup indeed. Curious, may I know how much are those lovely seats?
Dude!! Looks like we need a TT scession soon.. bring SP it needs the mileage :P The engine bay just gels together superbly lah.. Looks like a proper track machine.
firdaus, watch out for that oil change. Its car speak for more mods!! as far as I know....
Jack,
I think so too...somehow I've a hunch the SP is godzilla on roids and it will pull G like a freight train on drugs hahaha
Mugil,
Tell us more laaa :P
Eu Jin,
Lucky find and was reasoanbly priced. Its second hand not new. New one costs around 10-15k i think.
I see you are in the midst of doing some upgrade for your er34! Nice ride you got there! I read your blog quite frequently, great work and keep it up!! Maybe next time will drop some comments.
Jack,
Sure when I get back we must meet up and yup need to run in further and put more mileage into it. I kinda knew that oil change thing will be a topic :)
Firdaus,
What you want to know :P
Mugil,
Reason I asked about the cost coz I am looking at a used unit of the same seat minus the cf bits. Just wanna get a gauge on the mkt price.
Yeap, some upgrades going on but still missing some parts. Darn!
Care to exchange links?
Eu Jin,
Oh ok, got it for less then 2k. Surely we can exchange links, but may sound daft, I dont quite know how to add another link to my blog :)
what parts are you still waiting for?
Mugil, that is freaking cheap price!! The seller wouldn't have another one lying around would he? LOL :D
