Hey..
So today I decided that we should get on and fit the WOT box..
The instructions show lots of electrical tape, dodgy wire cutting and all in all a pretty nasty install..
We went about it in a little bit of a different way.. Just so that you would never know it was there unless you looked for it.. Really pleased with the install and again a big thanks to Andy for his superb work on the car!
Ok so first of all we fed the wires of the loom from the driver side through into the engine bay..
The loom then travelled along the scuttle panel and dropped down out from the stock engine loom grommet on the passenger side..
All of the connections were cut / soldered and sealed with heat shrink for a perfect and reliable connection, no splicing or electrical tape in sight!
OEM loom covers were used for that OEM look in the engine bay and make sure that its all keep away from moisture or heat..
The main WOT box loom then feeds into the driver side dash cubby which the main controller sits, this allows for easy view of the LED to check that the WOT box is first of all armed and ready to go and also operating correctly..
So the results..
Well it works great, we have the launch control set at the standard default of 4000rpm at the minute.. Not tried a launch with the car yet but im sure that will be enough as the car in only on 225/40 Toyo T1-R tyres, so not the most grip..
As for the WOT shift, that works great too.. Again its still set at the default setting which is AUTO mode, we can start to cut down the M/S shift time once I start playing with it, but for now it works great..
The cut is way too long, but it does re engage power with no loss of boost, so its still a benefit over conventional shifting..
Heres a little video of the launch control at 4000rpm.. Its SO loud in person!!!
That’s about it for now! Still working away with the long list of bits that im wanting to do on the car and its all still running brilliantly..
