uhh, 7, 8 around that area. My Jaycar EBC is on 100% duty in the high RPM. Ill tell you what though, even though power doesnt come on really until 4000rpm ish, when it hits....mate for stock boost... it hits. For me to get from 4000-7000rpm in first no shit takes 1.5-2 seconds MAXimum. Ill grab my mates dad mega Gtech (not the eBay one, the laptop version one) and let everyone know what I am gteched at compared to my calder run of 14.7

i am major pedantic about noises, its terrible. And yes, AMS correct, i have a GCG. Quite laggy over stock, but when it hits boost pulls nice. Stock boost.

I beleive i have solved my own issue A note to everyone as well I have a split dump pipe, it has a splitter in the middle. When the car is just slightly reving so the wastegate is only slightly open, it rattles against the splitter. I will get it cut off and a new splitter rewelded on bent a bit furthur away from the wastegate

Please follow to this thread in the Stagea forum, http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...howtopic=109666 Help very much appreciated.

Also, the noise is not constant. Its only happening when cruising or accelerating, not when on boost (also higher RPM) The noise isnt so much a rattle, but it sounds pretty much exactly like a VN commo acclerating away, that kinda rattle/ticking noise (minus the exhaust noise naturally) Its quite loud also, loud enough ive never heard it before. To be honest, it sounds like a noise I heard when the car was stock but just a LOT louder and worrying. The other noise I heard on idle with humble (on his car too) but this is something different. I can hear it inside the cabin with the windows up quite easily.

I know there is nothing like actually seeing the thing in real life, but just want to know if anyone has any ideas. Just replaced the turbo with a GCG last night, results good, but just after any major job you listen for noises. One noise i get is at about 1100 RPM, my injector area (pointed to by a mate) makes a rattling noise like as if a nut was in a metal plate sitting on my engine block. This noise does not occur in nuetral, only when under load (was against the torque converter) I cant find anything where it actually is a nut or bolt, but I will have another look. Apart from that, any ideas guys? I am only scared driving with it will be worse then not in the end.

And while it was raising Bloody that car was only problems though. Never got on road, lost 8k on it, sold it for 8k after it costing around 15k.

Id be good for the weekend 15/16 or 22/23 April, I might be coming up canberra/sydney way for the weekend. BBQ is good, whatever is prefered

Can you please give part numbers? Or are they the ones from the Brakes thread?

Confirm the above

OH YEAH! We get ECU pinouts now! MMMM....cant wait to get these manuals Doing turbo swap tomorrow or day after, meh, cant have it all.

Getting excited

but you could calibrate the auto computer to some degree no? to alter the shift points, kick down points etc??

haha, win some loose some. I got about 15 of my celsior. My mate got about 200 of his celsior... Guess it just depends on how lazy the camera man is

Yes, yes you will. I will be getting Keas to build my auto box. 3200 for a swap over for a full manual controlled built box. (think, highend manual auto box)

20L/100 isnt that bad. But thats what I do when fanging hard hard hard. For you, a new o2 sensor sounds pretty likely. Best bet, easy to change etc.

Correct.

Ok, Good point. What about the weekend after that then? So April 8/9

Anyone actually read the EPA report, so now they have changed it to only 90dB down from 92? WTF. Look at bikes also, 100!!

SK reported improvements of around 1L/100 after the DFA was installed. I am certain it would make a massive difference. I think I might give the DFA a quick tune for the time being after I install the turbo, until I can afford to get the cams/unichip done. At least I will get a bit more power and better economy until I can afford it.

I will try to get around to taking photos. Its pretty well made IMO. The welding is due to the fact that the towbar mounts to the chassis rails, which is also where the last exhaust hanger mounts. For the hanger to fit over the towbar, it needs to be cut in half and extended 10mm to suit. But, yes, if it wasnt for that little annoyance, I would have done it yonks ago.

You cant drive a dream and not pay the price. Sometimes the price of happiness is simply worth it.... I know it is for me

Well, I am a member, but the rest of the guys arnt. Didnt see that cruise, ill go to that for sure now. Can I BYO Stageas with me?

Thinking to have a Stagea-Vic cruise to catch up/check out new improvements from everyone. - I was thinking maybe down to the beach or something to grab some fish and chips, then out mornington way for a photoshoot in some nice areas? - Alternativly, maybe go down to Torquay/Anglesea for the day for Lunch/Photos etc? (Then Luke you can come see what you are importing ) Other options considered, but looking to run it on the 25/26th march either day, or maybe 1/2 april if the prior is too soon for people? Please post EOI's here, since our last meet there are a couple new Melbourne Stagea owners Let me know Cheers!

Could have been a dark blue S1 with 18's and an exhaust....which would be humble
