So finally its finished and dropped into the car on Thursday and by late Friday we started the engine 1st time.

The engine kept reving low-high / low-high by it self which meant an air leak somewhere. I suspect the EVAC but didn't get chance to check it as had to leave to work. Turbo was dropping small tiny dropplets of oil right from the centre and last we couldn't get the laptop to find the drivers for the S300 ECU (it plugs and says new hardware found but no matter what it won't find the drivers off the disc) the mechanic had S300 stuff on there before but it must be old and I told him install the software of the CD 1st before you connect the ECU but he did anyway.

I'll update once go in Monday early morning and see what's happening but everyone says to me if the engine started 1st time then the rest is easy to fix.

looks like a nice setup.....what kind of power are you hoping to make from it?

 

280 - 300 for daily drive, but if I can get 400 - 450 when I need it, then that's more than enough for now.

 

idling issue typical- needs tuned
were the drivers uploaded- when i got my s300 there were fairly detailed istruction for the process

 

wow that is a good build
and i second the suggestion it needs tuning im sure it would idle smooth then?

 

I don't disagree at all, but still the car shouldn't rev like this. I'm not talking just a light tone, its reving from like 800-1000 RPM to 2000 or over and then goes down. Too much high RPM and to do such high rev it must be getting air from somewhere without the TB been open !!!

I'm off to the garage in an hour or two anyhow as I haven't seen the car since Friday, will be on it all day and see what we will be able to do in whole day on it.
