  1. shouldnt the engine having to do less work to get the air/fuel in and the exhaust out negate that?
  2. My head is ready for pickup from Gilberts I'm curious to my flow figures, paid $750 for the porting so I hope its good and I'm not just throwing my money around (the goal was less lag on the 2530s)
  3. *SHIVERS* pulling the plenum off while motor in the car is a nightmare isn't it...
  4. you like me will soon also know the meaning or true lag, make sure you got a electronic boost controller to help minimize it, maybe a oven in the back so you can make some baked goods waiting for them to spool up j/k but the boost controller will really make it between a kit that boosts after 6000rpm, and one that kicks in closer to 4500rpm
  5. Bottom end off for balancing tomorrow, short of $$$ so shit is going slow. Looking at making the most of the 2530s so looks like 700cc injectors, AFMs, ECU and 044 need to be replaced
  6. Item: RB26DETT R32 Rods and pistons Location: Gold Coast Contact: PM please Price: $150 Condition: Rods (good) Pistons (Fair) Info: Stock rods and bolts in good condition, stock pistons, some are scratched Out of a engine with 100,000kms Bottom end of rods will come with rods
  7. got a set of rb26 rods I don't need anymore (got some eagle H beams in the garage to replace them with), if interested PM me
  8. any way to repair the coating?
  9. generally do the 2530s run out of puff or blow first? I was thinking 350kw should be achievable from my car with 2530s without too much lag it was laggy before with the 2530s, exhaust and boost controller, but i was thinking porting, and cam gears should be enough to help avoid this?
  10. take the injectors out and run them to a local shop to replace the orings on the tips, usually stops most the leaks from memory
  11. I will volenteer myself for modelling if you want, willing to do bonet lays, underdressed kinky but confused looking into the hood shots etc.
  12. Black or Dark Chrysler 300C Sedan on Warrego Highway on Friday night, two young looking guys in T-Shirts pulled over some kids
  13. maybe your driving style has changed too suit it?
  14. thats only my understanding, maybe in more sane hours someone else can confirm thats basically how they work, i opened a mates up by accident once by unscrewing it too much and thats the order of things inside it.
  15. used the eBoost2 in my mates car and I got the Blitz SVC-r (think) I cant get my head around his menus, love mine to bits, both do a good job, eBoost had a ton more features
  16. photoshop is lam3 sorry
  17. a spring will be between the ball bearing and the screw, too strong tension and the boost will be too high, too soft tension and fully wound in the boost controller wont do a thing, too big a bearing it wont fit in the hole, too small and it wont close up the gap inside. crap pic hopefully gets the rough idea
  18. Don't mean to be picky, every airline has its +'s and -'s. Currently Jetstar's average fleet age is about 3.5 yrs overall (As of February 2008, Jetstar's average fleet age is 2.7 years) and the Int'l route is run by A330-200s which are a little older than the A320s but only a couple of years. The 717s they were flying with at first were old from memory but they phased them out, a fleet on modern, new aircraft means less maintenance costs as aging aircraft need more regular checks. The average age of a Qantas plane is over 10yrs old, and the average age of a Qantas 747 is over 15yrs old. On a useless note I do agree about customer service and other factors on cheap airlines being a bit 'crappier', and I got hit for over $160 for around 15kg too much baggage Melb-Brisbane recently on Virgin so I'm stil not talking nice about them. I fly with whoever has the cheapest usuallly, paid full cost for Singapore Airlines to UK and back last year and didnt get even enough frequent flyer points on the Air NZ partner scheme to fly Wellington to Auckland, but being a longer flight the added features made it all the more enjoyable.
  19. a happy ending is not a night in a cheap motel where you wake up the next morning unable to remember the night before, next to a dead stripper called candy
  20. cool stuff Warlord!
  21. check the block is earthed to the chassis/battery from under the plenum, big fat black cable
  22. makes sense, have a look at the cat while in there, maybe time to hit it now with dump pipes if buying a turbo kit
  23. if you just lost the one turbo, the most sensible option could see would be to just replace the one turbo with a stock second hand replacement, that way you arent throwing too much money at the engine. otherwise you could look at the 2530 kit, they are a direct bolt on with not too much lag and enough room to play with if you decide to upgrade the engine later on. depends on how much money you want to spend but from the sounds you want the most affordable option until you sell your GTSt and can buy a R34 motor and swap

    Autobarn

    heard good stuff from my mates with jap cars and I was in there a bit for my GTR, so it made sense if they can do it in a **** they can do it in a Ferrari, after-all it is just a head unit right? *WRONG* p.s. gold coast autobahn isnt in too shit a suburb, and gold coast car sound is close by too, and they had shitted up jobs for us before too anyway
