so I had a dyno day coming up for the 32, decided to take advantage of some miscellaneous projects i've been needing to do. first off i needed to design a new hanger for the exhaust.. i didn't like my old one and i have to weld a set onto jon's car i wouldn't have been happy with the old setup
lol jig.
solid as a rock now (yeah my coverage isn't perfect its tight around angles so sue me, the welds are all straw so whatever)
My HICAS was deleted by the previous owner but he did the 'loop' modification so there was a gigantic pile of shit still in the car and a couple spots were leaking. de-vaned the back side of the pump and stuffed a bolt in there then made a new line for low pressure return with a setrab valvetrain cooler
lots came out, ha..
went to dyno, got to finally place a tune on the powerfc Pro ecu. still cannot get datalogit to set the launch rpm, i'm told this is because newer datalogit program versions won't show this option. however when i load older versions they don't communicate correctly with the datalogit box because i'm using usb to serial converter i think. whatever at least the rev limit is finally ign cut and not fuel. toned down the tune from last time due to inj duty % but it still made around 8rwhp less, gained about 10tq and spools about 3-400rpm sooner give or take its much more active now. once again leaving a dyno day with RS Enthalpy very happy!

then it was time for the rocker on the japan..
this was quite the process for just one simple piece but i knew i'd only have enough access inside of it to fill it with wax later so everything had to be just right.
primed all the freshly neutralized backing panel
fresh backing plate covers up some of the holes and adds rigidity back to the piece, once we undercoat the chassis on the bottom it will all be nice and waterproof
then i zapped in the internal reinforcement panels to replace the janky and lacking oem pieces used for the jacking points only
prime the back side of the rocker panel and clamp it up
thats the fitment placed up next to the old rocker cutout, dead on the money! very pleased
like it never happened! very very pleased with how it turned out. i'd say 'so and so left until we're almost done' but... not even close. just going to continue moving forward and hope its finished soon haha
