Who are you going to get to tune your Cossy SC?

It's up in the air right now. I'll be starting with the base tune from Cosworth that's included and going from there...

Hmm... what do we have here...?

[kosoku]

great write up. Simple, not over the top....I like it! I was going for something similar on my wanna be blog (below). I'll keep checking this one for sure!

Cosworth Stage 2.0 Kit arrives!









First part of April for the install!

Big thanks to Jeremy and Yo @ FT86SpeedFactory as well! They were super helpful and kept me updated while waiting for it to ship! You guys are just stellar, as always!

Cosworth SC Install & Spark Plug replacement

Well, today was the day folks! The build has started! Chris @ Cosworth has been super awesome chatting back and forth with me. He got the directions out to me really quickly, and got the tune emailed over to me within MINUTES!

Her last couple pics as an NA car...





Mileage at the start













I weighed all of the parts prior to starting the install. My method was essentially weighing myself and then holding the parts and weighing myself again, as most of the stuff is pretty bulky and hard to weigh on its own.

Results came back as follows:

Manifold and supercharger: 44.6 lbs
Heat exchanger (IC): 4.75 lbs
Belt, brackets, IC pump, etc.: 7.5 lbs
IC hoses: 6.8 lbs
Intake pipe: 5.7 lbs

Total: 69.35 lbs. This total has NOT taken into account anything that I'm removing from the car (OEM intake manifold, swapping my Injen intake for the OEM airbox). I'd assume when all is said and done, the total weight added to the car will be in the neighborhood of 60-65 lbs.


I did run into a snag when fitting the throttle body onto the new manifold as the instructions seem to imply that a new throttle body gasket was included, but nowhere to be found in my various bags of goodies. I've reached out to Chris @ Cosworth to see if maybe I'm just mistaken, but I can confirm that the OEM piece definitely doesn't seem to fit. I was able to go to a local parts store and find a gasket that would fit, but will get a definite answer before doing any dynos or heavy testing of the car.

We also ended up changing the spark plugs in my car as it has 53k miles. I know they're not technically due until 60k, but I figured with as many track days as the car has seen and the fact that she's about to go FI, it couldn't hurt. We did have to loosen the motor mounts and jack the engine up to change them (Boxer engines for the lose as far as that goes). Not fun.

Lastly, the hoses don't seem to be labeled at all. Not sure if this is the norm or the exception. The instructions included with the kit seem to think that they're all labeled, but I couldn't find anything on any of my hoses that seem to imply where they all go. Doing a bit of reverse engineering and eyeballing from the included install pictures to determine it. So far, no major issues. Planning on snapping a few pics along the way to show what goes where just in case others have the same problems.

Stopped for the evening after getting the IC mounted. Hoping to finish up tomorrow afternoon!

Showing which 3 hoses are fit to the heat exchanger...






Will update tomorrow, hopefully after I get a chance to drive her! I'm also planning on taking videos, so stay tuned!

4AM... something burbles to life.


I'll post more when I have more time, but something finally came to life around 4AM last night...









Initial thoughts without having the time to give a full write up? My gentlemen bits made my pants shorter while driving it. Just awesome. This is how this car should have come from the factory.

[weederr33]

I came.

[DustinS]

Sub'd!! Really hoping I get to catch you Tomorrow.

[craigpitts7]

You have a really nice car and a good eye for quality.

[Top-Secret]

what made you pick the cosworth SC or say vorteck or kraftworks?
