Definitely sounds that way. It's not something these guys are going to have in stock to be fair. Shame, sucks, but at least Scott and Leo have done the decent thing.

Still it took them 2 months you tell me it's on back order. :(
I can't believe how difficult it is to get an exhaust sorted. Custom companies arnt interested and I can't get off the shelf ones.
Getting a sports cat fitted to the decat pipe and I'll see how that softens the exhaust down.

Let's update.

So we managed to get the crank pulley off, and it literally fell into 2 parts. No wonder it hasn't been making boost and slipping at high rpm. Plus this means it's been doing it since I had the engine rebuilt and mapped on a slippy pulley.

Image

At the Same time I had a 100cel sports cat made up and installed.


Now the car is a pig to drive. Off boost is fine however the transition to on boost is rough and urgent, in vtec it retards the timing and boost comes in way earlier than before. It does hold full boost up to red line however.
Once iat are super hot the engine cuts power altogether when trying to come on boost again. Never did that before so it must be making boost sooner again timing.


So it looks like I need a remap to account for the more linear boost from the new crank pulley.



However Invidia exhaust has been dispatched. Yay.......and new house next week. Yay.

I'll fit this over the xmas break.

I changed the front brake pads to hawk hp+. They are fantastic however the brake dust is unbelievable after just a few miles so they are going. Going to try hps 5.0 as that's what I have on the rear.

Also going to remove the ad08r and try michelin pilot sport 4s. Ad08s are useless in anything but hot weather with this power.

Only just seen this.
Wow! That pulley is shocking!
I guess it has a lot more load on it now though (compared to standard) so perhaps not surprising?
Worth sending those two halves off to be re-manufactured (I posted the link to a company in Poland or somewhere that has a great rep for doing this, but cause I'm nice, here it is again; https://elastomer.eu/index.php/en/ ) so you have a spare?
They don't currently list the H22 pulley, but I reckon once you've sent one, they would add it to standard stock?


Anyway...
Christmas has been an gone. The goose has got fat and needs the SC power in order to even move now. So...
Has the zorst all been fitted and packed off to tune now???
