shit just got worst everytime...

on fine Sunday afternoon, i decided to sent the car to the workshop to install the fuel regulator and internal fuel pump..at first everything alright...then it breakdown in the middle of the highway...

waiting for the tow truck to come..

i was escorted by the freedoms crew (lan n Ipin) and Ajis (Ipin older bro) with his bosuzoku Bmw..

30 minute later the tow truck come,lan helping me with the loading and were off to setapak..

thanks to Bob towing service and rm170 flew away from my pocket hahaha?...

upon arrival,Shahrul (the mechanic) remove the tank and the external fuel pump..

my bosch external fuel pump,still can be used...will keep it just in-case if i decided to use a surge tank..

i also in need of the digital float..(*that is the stock float in the pic..currently still searching for the digital one huhu).since i dont know how much fuel left in my tank..

we supposed to install the works fuel regulator as well but we got the wrong set of adapter...

upon starting the car,the problem of overflowing fuel on injector 3 & 5 happen again.. the engine combustion isn't nice till the exhaust squirting unburnt fuel through the smoke.. shahrul begin diagnosis all the possibilities like the coil pack, injector, spark plug, fuel line and he even done the compression test (all in good condition)...he conclude that the problem might be the faulty ECU.. luckily Koopang was around with his car, so i borrow his car ECU and put it into mine and it work just fine..*sigh....another parts that need to be replace,aside from the turbo...

i also test Aim spare ECU,called The Factory Jokers..its kinda special becoz the ECU got some external black box and it have been tuned by the japanese for track used (there was a sticker saying it so)..the noticeable different reaction when the engine start is the idling, revving automatically when up and down from 1000rpm till 1500rpm (like it got a high-cam) but once i step on the gas pedal the revving easily reaching 5500rpm,very light...

but it was nothing like that when on Aim car,the idling maintain at 3000rpm and when we installed it to koopang car the idling set nicely at 500rpm... so i assumed that the ECU characteristic/reaction is totally different on other cars...

the time was already 11.30p.m, im getting tired so i install back my faulty ECU and went back home...just when im reaching home,the car when into another breakdown.....causing it to be tow once again....twice in one day....i should have borrow Aim ECU that time..

arrived home around 12.30a.m,unloading the car,park it at the usual spot,lock the door and i didnt even bother thinking about it.sooo sleepy..go for a drink with lan and ipin...and went straight to bed... still have to work the next day...

also

the gtr fiber lips got damage during towing..but nothing that couldn't be fixed hehe..Bob the tow truck guy said that he have towed several X8 but none of it is slammed like this....hahaha i guess i take it as compliment...

so at the moment i will put on hold all Jyu progress,becoz i ran out of my budget,(repairing the ECU and turbo will definitely not cheap), im currently busy with worked, and next week im starting my job on a new work place...huhuhu its pretty messed up right now...sigh...
