B-Man

I feel inadequate...............

What aren't BU5TER's times in the chart ???

So I have to go to god dammned Golburn to cheer you guys on - OR take the day off on Monday to watch you at EC..... Hmmmm - Long trip and cold weather versus Day off work and short drive up to EC versus get the sack for having too many days off going to track days decisions decisions

Lots of Dick - that's for damn sure.

And SK - I did put the caveat in: Cheers,

Ahhhh see here-in lies my point though. I asked my supply chain for a turbo & engine combination for a certain power spec. My spec was not met and I was being dicked around a bit (so this is twice now I've been dicked) I relied on the experts in the supply chain to come up with the goods. They didn't, so I took over and went with a brand that I knew worked. I sourced the parts myself - got my mechanics to fit and am happy with the power result. And I spent less $$ that I did with the GCG. (albeit the GCG was new and the HKS pre-loved) So when you are in laymens land like me - It paid off for me to go with tried a proven. And my previous experiences lead me to believe that I went the right way eventually. It won't be the same story for the next guy who does the rebuild - no two stories are alike.

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha excellent

Pineaples or Alloy Cradle spacers help too , I hear. B-Man needs launching traction .....

Pizza at Bantry Bay ??

Here you go - it's a PB but much more improvement required.

ha ha look at where his eye are in that first pic - 'hmmm I wonder how much smoke I can make' ha ha ha good pics None of me or Scott or Sam .........

s13drifter - Don't feel sorry for speaking how you feel. As a member of SAU forums - thanks in advance for you work. I can't wait to see what you wrote about - For someone who is as passionate about cars etc for you to write a DIY , I commend you. Come on Mods- how about we publish the work so we can all enjoy it ??

FU Bitch he he he he he :D

ha ha I brought my Camera but I didn't take a pic all night - must have been having too much fun

So what what that bet again ???

Matt - you are meant to use 2 cams - no wonder it went bang :) :D

Oh is it - OK - my bad. I thought you would have had to decompress the engine, change loom and ECU, change inlet pipe work and exhaust flange. And I would have added an intercooler to do it properly Also thought VLTs had a stronger crank. Good luck with the sale for your mate - its an awsome looking car.

Scott - Matt - same thing - Sorry dude I dunno where I got that from .....

YES YES YES Sam won DYO Stacy won AWD 6 SAU OWNS WSID

Well done SAM - Frigging awsome dude - Sorry I missed the win and preso - I was freezing my nuts off..... Well done to Stacey too - Woooo Hoooo SAU OWNS WSID WE ARE ALL ON A MISSION - HELL YEAH

Yeah it's all BU5TER's fault - So that's what happened - too much muscle on the gear changes ??? Should be easy to fix....

Dude - it's a really nice car - but for other's out there , making it turbocharged is not as simple as just whacking on a new manifold and turbo.

He he - yeah me too - I had chronic axle tramp when trying to do a burnout - I think good suspension would help with the launches and traction - But hey - it's easy to blame the car when most likely is the driver in my case

Hi SK, Without getting too far OT, (ie the thread was not really about comparing HKS 3040 to a GCG Hybrid) The GCG turbo I had (I was told) was good for way more than 250 rwkw. The hight level specs follow (don't know the details sorry, and this is a combination of what I saw and what I was told - as stated before, I am not an expert on turbos) GCG - TO4e front housing 0.70 AR - Garret 3040 core, Bored & ported VG30 rear housing - bigger integral wastgatel and bigger exhaust. The manifold was a GCG tubular mid/low mount. We could not get any more than 250 rwkw out of it. With everything else the same - just take off the GCG and put on the HKS top mount manifold and HKS3040 (1.12 rear AR) 330 rwkw - no problems. Oh - Trust type R 45 mm eternal wastegate too. Now I realise that this is probablly not really a fair comparison - as I went from a internal gate to an external gate. GCG did offer to change the turbine blades as they thought it was the problem - But I didn't have time to do R&D on my turbo and car - so I opted for a known brand and model - I haven't heard of too many un satisfied HKS owners - But when it comes to home grown hybrids and hi flows - you really have to put your trust in the supply chain.
