I know I know I basically forgot to update the build of my engine on this blog. But im posting the final result of my CA20DET build. Its all went together without a problem it started without a hitch after I had setup the new 750cc injectors and Z32 AFM on the Apexi PowerFC ECU. We did however noticed it didn't like to idle at all. So we checked the ignition timing which confirmed our suspicions that it was running way out of the standard 15degress BTDC. It proved to be quite difficult to setup the cams due to using an exhaust cam on the inlet side of the engine. The reason i used the exhaust cam was because it had slighlty higher lift and duration. 

Once the timing was sorted I had to run the engine in which returned a few niggles the main one being a leaky water pump gasket. This was replaced and all was fine. The day came round to getting the car tuned. I decided to use Greg at ProTuner, due to alot of recommendations. I must say that Greg knows his stuff and the recommendations where fully justified. The engine made 344bhp and pretty much the same amount of torque. The only thing that was holding me back making a bit more power are the cams. With a good cam set-up it was estimated the engine would make about 350bhp with the Garrett T2871r .64ar turbo.

After the tuning it was time to actually drive the thing! I have done a couple of days at Norfolk Arena which where a blast. The car didn't miss a beat apart from blowing a boost pipe and overheating the power steering.
