Slowly. I get to work on the car about one day a month. Not sure about the VVTi swap but I know there isn't much room to play on the driver's side thanks to the steering shaft. You will probably have the same issues as me with the sump, unless you have a custom sump made. I have made some...

I'd recommend you change the engine oil too - if the injector has been hosing fuel in, its likely a decent amount has gotten past the rings and into the sump. Petrol is not a good lubricant.

For all the excellent content Kelvin has produced over the years, IMO this latest one is not good - Its just reconfiguring multiple existing tune files and troubleshooting errors - and I think this vid would only serve to confuse anyone who is trying to setup a Haltech or the first time. There...

Good things take time and all that. Here are the latest pics. Charcoal canister and fuel filter mounted with heat sleeve applied liberally Power steering and coolant reservoirs mounted on a very solid bracket. Very itchy after all the thermal wrapping The drivers side couldn't go...

I used a Delco air temp sensor and the stock 1uz coolant temp sensor - there are config files for both of them

The cable adjusts transmission line pressure, not kickdown. You should have a kickdown switch that is activated by the throttle pedal Check the kickdown switch is working properly Check your throttle position sensor signal at 100%

Yes it does

All cars will have a connector or harness in the engine bay that connects all engine to body input/output like oil pressure gauge, temp gauge, ignition power, fuel pump trigger, etc. In my BMW, this is the X20/X21 connector. Identify the wires on the ECU you need to connect to the body -...

1. Driveshaft from gearbox to diff is custom made by specialist 2. No air conditioning fitted or required 3. Gearbox is Soarer A340E with modified Prado valve body and Haltech control 4. Ignition is wired through the Haltech and all indicator lamps replaced by Haltech IC-7 Dash 5. Engine &...

Cheers mate - the Haltech software is excellent in this regard and can be setup for closed loop learning on pressure. Will definitely share the results. These are the basic options - they can be expanded significantly

Yes and no - yes because adjusting the cable will give you more line pressure, and no because having a linear relationship between throttle and line pressure is only ideal for NA applications... and somewhat to supercharged engines. If I was building a race car, then cable line pressure would...

Through the process of building turbo 1UZ E36 BMW, I'm changing the valve body so it can handle boost more effectively. PROBLEM - the Soarer 1UZ A340E valve body uses: cable from the throttle body to control line pressure (the more right foot you give it, the more pressure you get) solenoid to...

Dash cluster from Mako Motorsports in Sydney finishes the IC7 perfectly. The have a cluster to suit just about any car sold in Australia.

BPP billet fuel rails waiting for some hoes and 1000cc Bosch Motorsport injectors. NZEFI idle speed motor cuts down the number of Haltech outputs needed from 4 to 1.

Wiring harness comes through the firewall through the factory wiring boot. I have all the silicon tubing to start wrapping and terminating the harness... just waiting on the fuel hose.

In the event of a nuclear war, this transmission mount will survive.

Engine mounts remade, now the engine sits lower and further back

E90 M-Sport wheels - 17x8 front and 17x8.5 rear fit just inside the guards with no pumping. E34 330i brakes front & rear are a massive upgrade over the original brakes

The 1UZ is a far bit lighter than the cast iron boat anchor that came out... so I'll need to get the front down.
