| Some awesome news, the motor is now officially a KA24DET. Happy days!
I got there pretty early yesterday and got straight to work, got the turbo plumbed in and all the oil lines in by mid afternoon. Then I modified the exhaust to fit, that didn't take long. It's not the best weld but it will certainly do the job. It's not road legal however, so a new one will be bought in the future. I even got the fuel system sorted too, so pleased! By this time it was about 7pm so I ordered a pizza to be delivered and decided to get the suspension done. The car is in for a tune today and it needed to be running. I got the front subframe back in with the camber arms and ARB in place now, even put the subframe brace whilst I was there.
Got the suspension in, I just lowered the coils a little bit as I needed to get it onto a trailer still. Put the wheels on and let it off the axle stands for the first time a few weeks. It was now about 1am, still got a few little things to do but the main parts are done.
So an update on how it went today, it just got back from the tune and a dyno session. The guy said that it did have a heating issue so that needs to be addressed. The best news is though that it's now pushing 229bhp along with 237lb-ft of torque. I'm pretty chuffed with that! The car's now back in the garage and going to be doing a few little jobs on it todat. Only little things, like relocationg the battery to the boot and fitting my hydro handbrake. I also need to strip the interior some more. But yeah, well happy! And looks like I'll be drifitng for th end of summer bash too! | |

| Got some odd jobs done on the 240 tonight, has been a pretty busy weekend that's for sure. But I can finally say the 240 is drift ready. I did a ghetto spec alignment with some string and dropped the coils as low as they'd go. Unfortunately, since it's not road legal because of the exhaust, and it's not even like I can pretend. It's so loud! So to save it from being taken from me I raised it so I can get it on a trailer without breaking anything. I have also found someone willing to share his 2 car trailer with me so I don't have to drive up alone for the event. I drove it around the car park a little, the engine felt fine. A little sketchy but I figured that it's because it was it's first drive as a turbo. Also did a few cheeky donuts, felt fine in 2nd gear. This is how it sits now. | |
