So basic update today:
Dunc never managed to get down today but hopefully he'll be across this week to help fit the new BOV.. so I fired on..
New O2 sensor on. Last one was def not a proper Delco unit.
Wrapped O2 with cooltec as it runs pretty close to the tubby
Rear deck spoiler off - new ally wing on its way from Canada
Rear hatch off - ready for new one
Exhaust shield off ready for wrap.
New IAC to go on at some point.
Switched MAP sensor for a spare
Ran Freescan for errors codes and data load.
Re-set idle and fuel maps.
Car runs lean 13.5-13.9) and slightly lean once warmed up (13-13.2).
Tried switching spare idle control sensor but reverted back to the static off one previous owner was using, which is basically glued the spring into a fixed position.
fpr disconnected, BOV disconnetced, loom holders disconnected and plenum cover removed and ancillaries disconnected. The 2 secondary injectors sit inside the connector between the chargecooler and the plenum but have their own inlets into the plenum. The injector tips are coated in red gear oil - not sure if that's standard but I know the fine lube qualities of gear oil (i.e. 3-in-1) was a must for carbs etc so suspect the same is true for injection units.
Silicon removed for mating surfaces ready for new gaskets. What's cool is that previous owner has ported all of the inside of the plenum, turbo intake, throttle inlets etc.
B'flies look in good order and move well on cable. No massive play but will have someone try the pedal and watch the b'flies for full apparture.
Looks as if the lower splitter can be unbolted - def looks like I can build some sort of proper lower diffuser set up and use a couple of quick release wing nuts like the front bumper. Once removed it will make it easier to unload/load the car from the trailer.
