  1. seems legit & everyone hoons throught there, so it makes sense
  2. yep we'll all be there in full force like full force out of houseparty
  3. well our deca is at the end of the month so maybe then ?
  4. have a look at THRO on ETC, SENSOR SW CHECK it should be around 0.33v at idle with no throttle
  5. i cant see any reason it wont start i would suggest mechanical/fuel delivery issue given the injectors were changed which involves mechnical work etc
  6. there are known gotchas when using semi slicks on the street - buyer beware you obviously have some issues if you are have that much traction issues - i suspect there are other issues

    Insurance

    just cars don't care about mods as long as you tell them what mods you have and list them on your policy mods you list also increase the agreed value of the car, so its in your interests to list them. they wont give you any discount for adding older poeple, the price is based on the youngest driver, regardless of frequency of driving it ie: you cant say your "son" who is 22 will drive it once every 6 months and the main driver is 45years old. they will base it on 22 years old
  8. nah if i go it will just be day trip
  9. yeah a stand alone ecu is much more preferred and will typically give you better results the powerfc for example can be removed in about 2 minutes and the car will start with the std ecu so if you get dicked its a 5 minute job to revert it back. some other ecu;s that need wiring changes wont be a 5 minute removal job so be aware
  10. a bleed valve is ok, when you hiflow the turbocharger you should be able to choose what actuator spring is fitted the default spring on the GTST manual is 0.50kgcm2 you should change it to a 1 bar or 1kgcm2 spring and just bleed 1,2 or 3 psi off the bleed valve, this will mean the minimum boost you can run is 1 bar however an electronic boost controll is not needed if you a have a suitable spring set (ie 1 bar) and the bleed works ok ie: dont keep the std actuator (at 0.50kgcm2) and try and run 1.3 bar via a bleed valve or boost controller the valve has to work very hard to maintain pressure between the spring and target boost, so go as close as you can in regards to ECU there are several options - remap the std ecu (nistune etc) - safc piggyback is probably OK - emanage style piggyback - stand alone like powerfc
  11. the typical hiflowed GTST is usually - fuel pump - boost controller - stand alone ECU - heavy duty clutch - full turbo back exhaust 3" - fmic most make around 250rwkw and should be good for high 12s/low 13 if you can drive with a spot on launch
  12. yeah i would imagine aasa is fine on the day - ask the wrx club though, its their day yeah steve i would imagine its similar, probably not %100 the same, but fairly close i could still be up for a day trip - have u got plans steve?
  13. they take your current turbo (working or not) and pull it apart - replace bearing kit - replace seals - replace compressor and exhaust wheel with new higher flowing units - bore out the exhaust snout (make it a larger hole) - rebalance the unit when reassembled so you essentially end up with new turbo. the key note here is that the only retained std parts is the housing and compressor cover. everything else is replaced with new higher flowing items. the housing itself doesn't wear out, so its fine to keep and reuse. the housing is the cast iron rear exhaust part and the compressor cover is the shiny bubble front part on the turbocharger. the seals, bearings etc are replaced with new spec items so they are spot on. you can make more power on a highflow as the exhaust snout is bored and replaced with a larger exhaust wheel (more gas flow drive) and the compressor wheel is upgraded. more exhaust drive, means you can drive the compressor faster, and a new compressor item means extra airflow (usually) be sure to note the main cost differences between hiflow turbochargers is the bearing styles used. ie: a journal bearing or bush bearing highflow will be cheaper than a ball bearing hiflow unit. the standard turbocharger on the R33 GTST is a hitachi unit (usually) and its - oil cooled - water cooled - ball bearing youll notice the price is the same for a "hiflow" of your current unit if the current unit works or doesnt this is because they chuck out all the parts that "work" or "dont work" and replace them anywany. ie; you dont get $500 of a highflow if your current turbocharger works fine
  14. depending on the ecu you can always tune cyl6 a few % richer under injection control the powerfc supports this method
  15. hey al, we'll just book our own room , i dont know what this other chick is doing (who knows) so will be easier - thanks though
  16. spot on - all power provided is on a pro-active basis, that is, its supplied before its used so if the power companies estimate 1,000 killowatt units and VIC only uses 9400 killowatt units then the 600 units are wasted. ie: they dont get stored up, reused later on or saved in batteries etc. so earth hour is void, becuase they estimate $x units and provide, the rest is wasted. usually when a power blackout occurs the company has under-estimated so there isnt enough actual power, so suburbs black out. had you have seen suburbs style blackouts on saturday night, then it would say that earth hour was a direct impact as the companies mega low estimated the use and basically ran it too low. i mean they would have lowered the expecatation, but they can't just black out subrubs to save power. and there are very big pentalities for companies who under-estimate and black out suburbs etc. its not like internet where an outage is acceptable im not saying its a waste of time, but a misconception perhaps like ziad said its just some poeple believe its a massive impact, its probably not that big, but a good step, certainlty better than doing nothing
  17. added some pictures for injector size changes
