So - 2.5 litre 24 valve V6 Vetec Honda motor.
Don't know anything about the motor but it sounds pretty exciting.
I think that would be a real danger to my license.

3.2 litre at the moment. Might put the bigger crank in it still so take it out to 3.7
But dedicated track car so don't need to worry about license

Not sure if I'll see 190kw was hoping between 170-180rwkw. It's going to get tuned length intake etc in the next few weeks and already has proper headers... Ie 1-3/4 runners- twin 2.5" -3" single. Dyno should happen in next month so see what happens.
Will post lots of photos over the weekend

Wondering why you bothered with a megasquirt against a kpro

Well there isn't a Kpro available for the J-series, I feel as though a standalone ECU is always the better option for a dedicated track car. An ECU with live feedback is always going to be a lot easier/quicker to tune etc. Only took a day to wire anyway nothing trivial about it.

this is my first experience with Megasquirt and it is dialling in very quickly/easily. I was running a adaptronic in my old turbo 1.8 and was never 100% happy with it, the megasquirt is already starting cold/hot basically perfectly already and only using a base map from a bmw m54b30 engine
