Dose Pipe Sutututu

I am guilty lol. Wasn't too bad, you get 1bar of boost by 4500rpm provided VCT is functioning.

that post aged well lol... (blocked out people's names for privacy, because I'm a nice guy lol)

I tried to search, couldn't find anything

will do!

Wow you're right! Google still shows it, but when you click on it, it takes you to empty pages. Amazing.

Man you're not having much luck with the diff ☹️ Would a 350Z diff conversion be a viable solution? At least you'll have the right ratio, and heaps of available parts from your US neighbour.

Pure EVs don't really suit that, however around metro Sydney it's sufficient. For me, I would prefer a Hybrid of a PHEV. PHEV works for me, because I could charge the future shit box during the day and capitalise on my yumcha spec 6.6kW/5kW solar system. And the petrol motor would be useful when my wife forgets to to charge the car or when we go outside metro Sydney. Apparently the 2025 Tiguans (that may or may not arrive in Australia) will do ~80km on the battery.

you forgot the Asian segment of Camrys, they have tissue boxes on the parcel tray

Like Mariah Carey, it's Christmas all year round Not going to lie, it's not a bad car. Rides ok, power wise, could do with a bit more. One odd thing, there's no option to make the doors auto lock when you take off and the side mirror doesn't auto dip when you engage reverse. quite a few of the newer BMWs are FWD, the moved away from the RWD platform for the smaller cars.

haha nice! I need a four door daily/weekend track car VW Australia came to the table, free loaner car for the next 3~4 weeks. @Duncan will be moist, it's a Nissan. Has 300km on the dash, I'll make sure to bed it in for them.

Barra swap, ZF8HP box. Will be cheaper in the end.

Barra conversion seems cheaper right now lol. (Ignore what I said).

Lololololol brah you don't instill much confidence here 😅

@admS15 she won't be too impressed with the price tags lol. Although..... The X3 M40i does seem ok, pre-LCI can be had for $50 to $60k which is the same price range as it's smaller sibling the 30i. I guess the 6 banger deters people, so everyone prefers the 4 banger 2.0L.

I think so lol. Nek minnit buys another Tiguan LOL.

100% Especially the shit box is 6 months out of warranty. Here's hoping a new mechatronic means another 5 years of life, until something else shits the bed. Probably going to sell this shit box next year and replace with another shit box, however with a ZF box.

actually labour is about $500~$550 based off other people in the Tiguan group. The mechatronic is about $3k through VW OR about $2500~$2700 if you buy from some random overseas online store.

So update time! VW HQ will honour the mechatronic, however VW Liverpool are waiting on VW HQ to see if they will cover the labour as well. VW Liverpool have already ordered the new mechatronic, approximately will take 3~4 weeks before it arrives here.

A gate before the collector will always make more power than a gate after the collector (providing the collector has started to become a choke point). Same turbo (well nearly, one was an ATR43SS2 journal vs. ATR43SS2 BB) different gate location and I picked up an extra 50kW on less timing.

Radium venturi kit, Walbro 450L, send it.

You would expect very little, here are random bits of data recorded on my ECU last time I pulled it off (it's just when TPS us over 90%)

for $2000, that's not too bad in today's market. Perhaps go to a local engine builder and get new rings/bearings put in and send it.

It was just more what will require the least effort & cost to get your car doing 300kW. If this was my car, I would just get a basic forged kit and fit it up, and if your bores aren't scored and within spec just get 86mm pistons so there's no need to bore out the block. No idea who gave you that $20k quote, however it can be done sensibly for much less.

Your NEO head is worth quite a bit of coin, and since it has been serviced it is already in tip top condition. You could sell that and you'll have only a small shortfall for a used 2nd hand NEO motor. Slap on a new head gasket, using major service kit, a few new seals here and there and you'll have a very capable motor to do 300kW ~ 400kW all day.
