EFK9 B16B - The Speedboat

[Marc_EE9]

I wouldn't want to come back either if I had a job like yours mate. Enjoy, and we'll 'see' you in no time.


I've got a couple of things to do....
- Get the J1 gearbox sprayed, then get the Quaife put in and have the box fitted
- Spray a new cam cover
- Get a couple of dings taken out of the doors
- New headunit and speakers

You will love this!

[Marc_EE9]

It's fun at the moment, but I haven't been able to give it beans in 2nd as changing into 3rd it crunches. The 4.4FD should liven things up too.

What's the difference between J1 and Y1?

Unlike me, i know you've done research.
I just fluke it

[Marc_EE9]

J1 has slightly shorter ratios and a 4.4 FD. Like the Y1 has slightly short ratios than a Y2.
Y1 has a 4.266 FD
Y2 has a 4.133 FD

Good to see you decided the Uk isn't so bad after all.

Now we just need Ian back.

I wish I was back in some ways, I miss my cars, driving them and messing about with them. My job is good but at the moment I am so busy I have very little time to myself, anyway, less than 3 weeks left before I can have a big break in Malta when we go into drydock, plus I've now got about £3000 cash in tips all of which will go towards the cars.

It's going to start raining next week in Malta Which dock are to going Palumbo? u dont know we might meet hehe

[EE9 CVC]

Rain, on no, haven't seen any rain in about 4 months and don't miss it. Hope it doesn't rain much. Yeah, we'll be in Palumbo for drydock for about 5 days then we will probably head to Manoel Island, could be for a few weeks if we go to Thailand or the Caribbean or for the whole winter if we don't, owner hasn't decided yet.



Marc - 4.4 FD should be good, not quite as fun as a 4.7 but way way better for a road car.

[Marc_EE9]

Ok, so I've spent a bit of money.

Bought a new headunit; Alpine CDE-120RR. Bit disappointed in the quality of the buttons, they don't feel very solid, but it does the job, and looks the part.

Paid, but waiting for...

- x10 Hamp short oil filters
- Raxle driveshafts
- Cam cover, and paint for it
- JDMshit lip
- New door speakers (Kenwood E1362's)
- Hel braided brake lines
- Paint for the J1 gearbox

I might splash out on an Innovative traction bar, but this I'm not fussed about just yet, I want to get a rolling road tune done first. Also open to opinions on swapping to OBD1...? Would I just need injectors or injector plugs, dizzy and ECU, plus the harness adapter?

[EE9 CVC]

Going OBD1 would be worth it to give you more tuning options. You'd need ECU, harness adaptor, dizzy and 4 wire O2 sensor. You shouldn't have to anything with your current injectors.

[Marc_EE9]

I had the plugs swapped on my injectors.

Ok, I think I will look into getting the parts. Thanks

[Tahir]

Nice buys

For OBD1, I would recommend getting a decent harness even though you can find harnesses half the price of the decent ones. The decent ones and a lot more plug and play and the quality is much better on the soldering and shrinking.

For ECU, either a P28 or P30 socketed.

I recommend you either get a Boomslang or a Rywire harness. H-Tune does the Rywire ones IIRC.

You will also lose the 2 single wire sensors on the manifold as you will have just the one at the bottom by the collector.

You wont need to touch the injectors.

[Marc_EE9]

Cool thanks for the info guys.
I will investigate prices and try looking for some parts tonight.

[Marc_EE9]

If I'm changing the dizzy, do I need to re-pin it, or get the other connector and attach it to my loom?

And can someone confirm which code dizzy I need, TD44U?

[Tahir]

Yep TD44U is what im going to be using.

To do it neatly, you need one of these:
