Owners comments:<\/h1>\n\n\n\n


The car was bought from new with no plans for modifications when i was 22, after 4years of ownership i was starting to get bored and old enough to get get insurance when modifying.
I then tinkered with it and did the basics of induction and exhaust improvements and the bug bit.
After doing some research i decided to get my hands on a set of “wingy” spec injectors, but realised i needed to provide a platform that work in harmony with these and so did the prepwork to get the non engine side beefed up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After a few years of development work, decided to stop using the wingy spec injectors and revert to a new hybrid injector no-one else had tried – This enabled me to make use of the other modifications to get good power\\torque without the very high EGT’s and smoke the wingy injectors seems to provide me with. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Green run in image below was due to ECU mapping to suit the previous injectors – red and blue were the corrected dyno runs with the fuelling sorted out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
