Diffuser Prep, Tuning, Other Misc Stuff
I haven’t posted in a few days, but I’ve been keeping busy with small tasks here and there:
- wired up the rear view mirror
- fine tuned the intake tubing positions so that they are ready for mounting when I get the intake duct mesh silicone’d in
- formed the exhaust and intake duct mesh pieces; dropped them off for powder coat
- picked up louvers from powder coating, will install on diffuser soon
- prepped diffuser by drilling more rivnut/bolt attachment points to the body to make it sturdier
- Josh finished the exhaust mount, waiting on a new mandrel to install bigger rivnuts to mount it and complete the exhaust
- making progress on getting the motor running properly: installed a Nick Williams 96mm tb, and am currently working on tuning it with HP Tuners. Motor runs if I stay on the throttle at 1000rpm or higher, but it dies if I let off.
At this point the interior is complete, and all that remains is buttoning up the exhaust and intake, creating a heat barrier between the two, installing the exhaust and intake mesh, and installing the louvers and diffuser. I also need to get the motor to idle, too.
