Hi Tone, Soz I've not got out to you to wire the ECU in. been v.busy decorating 24/7 at moment. Havn't even cleaned the Scoob since the Goodwood meet.

Brad called and mentioned you were after a gauge for the Inovate widebande.
This is the guy I use for all my inovate bits and is very reasonable.
Just send him an email and he accepts payment via paypal.

I have the 52mm G2 Gauge Silver Face, which is a stepper motor style with full sweep/cal at start-up as per the Defi. They do a Black or Silver face. The backlight is white, but I will probably crack mine open and change to green at some point, to match the dash.

Not sure what dash you have, as they swapped from black to white at the back end of 98.

P.S Just spotted they now do a G4 Gauge with white face...Hmmmmmm !!!!!!

CLICKY

because there is know way of telling what heads you got due to all the castings being the same. you have to trust the seller.

i have been speaking to mark @ lateral performance about my spec, possibly might get the 2.5 relinered to make it even stronger so i can see over the 500 mark in the future. 8-)

Spot on old fruit. Keep the updates coming matey. 8-)

Re: Jaffas 2.5 classic

Re: Jaffas 2.5 classic
 

also in pic thermo inlet manafold spacers. these will lift the manafold higher so i can squeze the turbo pipe underneath the inlet manafold and will stop heat soak into the manafold as well. :)

Re: Jaffas 2.5 classic
 

Looks like your getting there :doubleup:

Re: Jaffas 2.5 classic
 

When do you reckon you'll be rolling it out matey?

Re: Jaffas 2.5 classic
 

Awesome project Tone! :doubleup:

Re: Jaffas 2.5 classic
 

Thought you where going twisted ?

Re: Jaffas 2.5 classic

Re: Jaffas 2.5 classic
 

WOW :doubleup:

Re: Jaffas 2.5 classic
 

How much is the solaris going to set u back ?
Why that over the Simtek ?

Re: Jaffas 2.5 classic
 

Ooooooooooooooooops best get the Ray Bans out . :10: :10: :doubleup:

Re: Jaffas 2.5 classic
 

still invetisgating both at the moment they seem to be popular, the only reason i wanna ditch the apexi is beacuse i want to go mafless. too much hassle setting up blow through maf, and dont do a maf sim for the apexi. + more features antilag,lanch control switchable maps witch both the simtec and the solaris.

as for price
simtec is about 1100
solaris is about 1400
would be intrested in your veiws scott

Think that looks the nuts :doubleup:

Re: Jaffas 2.5 classic
 

Not used the simtec or know anyone using one, but very popular. Although figure they wouldn't be so poular if it didn't have the additional £140 ALS and Launch control gimicks.
They are dealer fit & map only

I did enquire about using the simtec, but got f-all response from the dealer
this was about the same time I was looking at becoming an ECUTEK dealer, but required a £5000 out-lay, but at least ECUTEK responded.

Glad I didn't go for it thogh as the market is pretty dead at the moment, unless your JGM and are willing to travel all over to map (not sure how he covers his costs TBH).

Solaris 'appear' to be user/non-dealer mappable as the S/W is downloadable, but they are very new and the forum is very light on posts so far.
Only looked into it as far as that i.e 1/2 hour google earlier this week.

Re: Jaffas 2.5 classic

Re: Jaffas 2.5 classic
 

Very nice Tone, :10:

Mind you be careful you might get some stains on the sheets. :doubleup:

Re: Jaffas 2.5 classic
 

Looking good Tone. :doubleup:

Re: Jaffas 2.5 classic
 

looks nice mate :doubleup: :10:

Re: Jaffas 2.5 classic
 

What sort of bhp are you going for Tone? What gearbox flywheel & clutch. I know you have a RCM oil pump are you changing water pump to? Head gaskets who from & what size as i keep getting different story's. Nige Ps when you fit t/belt should you change all the tentioners? Sorry mate lots of questions :doubleup:

Re: Jaffas 2.5 classic
 

hi nige i am changing all tensioners and guide pulley as a precaution as well as the water pump. the ones on my 2.5 were ok no play not nosiy but not worth the risk.
as for head gaskets going for 1.6mm and been told to aim for 8.35:1 compression ratio

i am going for 1-5 ppg straight cut box and a OS Giken twin plate clutch (comes with its own flywheel)

aiming for the 500 mark but anythink over 450/450 with quick spool is my main aim.


my next steps will be sorting my sti heads out new valves/springs/retaners/ and port and polished/ shimed up. going for dh22 cams and rcm pullys :norty:

Re: Jaffas 2.5 classic
 

just purchased some cusco coilovers, think they may be very hard but will give them a go. :whistle:

Re: Jaffas 2.5 classic
 

Fabbo stuff Tone!
