I was gonna say... were you running any antifreeze at ALL?
And that hole rusts out in almost every MX-3...
Aside from that... perfect!

Re: Marco's '95GS-TURBO :D Mega update!
It was running great overall, until the clutch hose exploded, braided replacement on the way! I've some issues with duty cycle getting to high and coolant temp over reading, but it runs well as is. Apart from that I love it, it's like going from k8 to ZE all over againsolo_ryder wrote:Looks so badass, glad to see you are doing things the right way with the fabbing and such.. I like the turbo inlet area with the filter, looks cool. I also like your rad and IC setup, looks super clean.
Hows it running? That old waterpump area looked effin nasty

Re: Marco's '95GS-TURBO :D Mega update!
lol I was worried that might happen... Dyno, good question, probably just the next time theres a rolling road day round here, as it's a bit costly normally! I'm not expecting much, but more than my ZE NA that's for sure! No one wants to work with megasquirt much around here, so I'm not sure what to do about tuning yet. I'd be happy to pay someone if it made the difference, but there's no shaodome or equivalent in Ireland ![Sad :(](./images/smilies/icon_sad.gif)

Re: Marco's '95GS-TURBO :D Mega update!
That turbo setup is sick! Wow that's an awesome install. Wish you still have the S/C tho, would of really like to see a SC-ZE tweaked and tuned. with a good amount of road time.

I believe there is a good guy in England, look at the megasquirt forum. Perhaps he can be of help.marcdh wrote:lol I was worried that might happen...

Re: Marco's '95GS-TURBO :D Mega update!
Some overdue updates!
Updated spec sheet I made for Japfest2011 in England - Europes biggest jap car meet. It was very cool 11mx3s I think, lots about that on uk-mx3.com.
![Image](http://marcharrington.com/mx3/SPECweb.jpg)
And it was tuned at just over half bar! Approx 7/8psi
![Image](http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f295/marcdh/dyno-1.jpg)
281 BHP
251 lbft of torque
263 WHP
Yeehaw! Dale at Bailey Performance reckoned the injectors were good for 12lbs with a safe duty cycle, being as the AFPR is hooked up so it's adding more pressure as the boost goes up. Unfortunately my damn HKS EVC 5 wasn't playing ball.
I've since installed this straight off my downpipe:
![Image](http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f295/marcdh/2ff0cd30.jpg)
Damn it's so fun! It's quiet... then it's an open exhaust beast! Exhaust cutouts rock. Props to hppwdn as usual for bringing those to my attention.
Will order a new TiAL spring, maybe about 9/10lbs and...
300HP here we come![Very Happy :D](./images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif)
