  1. Hi me again..

    got the intercooler.. it's freaking massive so gota front mount it..

    just wondering.. has anyone eva attempted cleaning the interior of the intercooler?

    any tips?

    and where is a good place in melbourne for me to get the piping done?

    my local exhaust dude is abit usless...

    thanks

  2. paulr33 - this is a gen Trust. so it wouldn't be too bad in quality i hope..

    i am thinking of adapting it to sit where the original sits to hide it a little..

    so hopefully it wil fit sidemounted..

    don't think it would be too much trouble just the dimension that i am worry about..worse i'll front mount it..

  3. Hi,

    Just to clarify..

    i am running stock 7 psi boost.. everything is stock part from full 3 inch exhaust, high flow cat, and high flow air filter in stock box..

    that's it..

    dyno was in shootout mode whatever that mean.

    i had it dyno tuned a few months back, the car ran really well afterward and you can really feel the difference. Mechanic said everything was fine.. but now it starts stuttering.. and backfires sometimes if i give it a bit..you can hear a couple of pop out of the exhaust after backing off.

    so something must be wrong..checked coil, coil looks brand new no crack or anything. New spark plug at .8.

    The only thing i could think of is fuel pump or AFM.

    i am starting to mod it anyway so i guess a pump and AFM upgrade won't hurt.

    yeah and i agree timing at 25 is very advance but the engine likes it that way.. if i reduce it, it starts to shake and cry. it is a lot happier betwen 20-25, 25 is best. Unless my timing light is out..

    I will get it dyno once intercooler and Boost controller is in. Just haven't got the time to get it done.

    looking for a R34 SMIC (or equivalent)..like SMIC to keep it stealth and upgrade air intake instead..

    thanks for the advise dudes..will update after it's all sorted out.

  4. hey..

    same here.. got those 3 gauge from just crap too..

    they just a pack of crap..

    my water temp only move a little bit..

    my oil temp sometimes move but most of the time don't not to mention i was sold a sandwich plate that doesn't fit and almost cooked my car..

    spent nearly $300 on the whole thing after new oil, new sandwich plate from Autobarn and wiring and shits..and got nothing..

    learned my lesson..

  5. hi guys..

    another question from the amatuer..

    thinking of getting this pump from EBAY..

    http://cgi.ebay.com.au/WALBRO-INTANK-REPLA...bayphotohosting

    have anyone had this? looks very cheap and no fobbing around like the 044..

    reason i think i need a new pump is because i think my std pump is fark or not coping..

    the engine struggles if i slamp it especially in low gear above 4 rpm..it kinda jerk then go then jerk again if you know what i mean..

    anyone experienced this?

    last dyno was 175KW RW.

    another reason that i could think of is the timing.. it was advance 25..i tried putting it back at 15 however it just doesn't like it.. starts puffing and shaking like an ashma attack..so advance it about 25 again...

    the car now runs really smooth at low rev up to about 3-4K rpm..

    what is the freaking problem?

    will a pump upgrade fix this?

    ps..

    what should the boost gauge read at idle? mine is sitting at 20imhg.. or about one bar on the stock guage is that normal? or have i got a leak?
