Russvrt 85 Posted May 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2014 Well been on with this as much as possible this week and got loads done but doesn't really look any different ! Coolant pipes all fitted ,boost pipes all in and clamped,I've welded the down pipe and fitted two lambda bosses,made up exhaust from down pipe to rear axle(still need a few parts to Finnish the exhaust as it's too loud with just one silencer)Just waiting for my mate to Finnish tig welding the 4"intake fill with coolant and test drive!!!!Will get some pics up when it looks like I've done something..

Russvrt 85 Posted August 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2014 This is how she stands now ,currently swapping looms out to run obd2 c2 chip ,but I don't think it will be on the road this year now as my bmw daily has blown its turbo so that's gonna lighten my wallet a fair bit and take up any spare time I have fixing it .. cactusjackslade 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Russvrt 85 Posted August 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2014 Well bm turbo swap is all done and have put about 500 miles on it and all is well, had a little panic as on the first drive I couldn't see anything behind me for the smoke! But that soon cleared..On to the corrado,I've put all the obd2 stuff in and couldn't understand why I had no fuel or injectors until the saviour in the form of rubjonny ran through the electrics with me and narrowed it down to a dead ecu,,so ordered one of eBay ,when that came it fired straight up and then cut out as the immobiliser kicked in,I looked into getting it removed or fitting the standered immobiliser and getting the chip I have linked with the ecu but then I came across an immobiliser emulator on eBay for £17 ,after a few emails it arrived today so after work I soldered the three wires needed for it and the car now starts and keeps running so I'm well happy!All that's left on that side of things now is to get a socket soldered into the ecu for the c2 chip ,Really looking forward to a test drive now as it's been so long,,. daveyboy and D11PS 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Russvrt 85 Posted September 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2014 I really don't know ,if it was a vac leak it would be a low lumpy idle wouldn't it? Just messing with the maf now as I think it's getting turbulence from the turbo,also reason it would start and cut out was the maf was pointing in the wrong direction..
