The Mafia

why would colder plugs make it fail emmissions?

ahahaha you guys have ridden this thread like a $2 hooker.

ok, I've been stuffing around with plugs for a little while now and have come up with some interesting results: I've used BKR6EYA (6 heat range copper) BKR6EIX (6 heat range iridium tipped) BKR7E - (7 heat range copper) R5671A-8 (8 heat range copper) ok, 6's are fairly ordinary. Iridium are a waste of money... No difference in performance. 7's are fairly ordinary too. No noticable difference. 8's.... I was able to add about 3-4 degrees into the 1\4 load to 3\4 load without detonation. However at full load, I was unable to add ignition advance without detonation issues. But this gave the car a little more punch in the areas that had the advance, obviously, after being able to advance timing, and timing advance = power.. so yeah, just thought I'd share some more of my findings. oh, and no starting issues. When the car is stone cold, it might need to be cranked over for about 1\4 longer than normal, but when hot... not a difference at all..

well, the brk7e's made very little difference in my r33 SII with GT30 hanging off the side running 16psi of boost. I think I might change to 8's Can anyone say if this is a bad idea or not?

you'd be making closer to 220rwkw with a good tune. As others have said, fuel pump first..

sure is, .7 comp cover. MIne has a ground out RB25 exhaust housing on it. Goes well.

mine is a 700177 - and its a GT30 - TO4s 7 blade compressor

I'll be doing this soon, I better keep an eye on this thread..

hey, mine did the exact same thing when we had the AFM wired up wrong. All the dash lights flicker on and off, the fuel pump goes flat out, and then eventually the fuse blows and the dash stops flickering. Scared the shit out of us. No damage to the powerfc, just a blown fuse. If its not the AFM, it will be something else shorting the f**ker out. Good luck mate, and be careful.

oh my god... before you guys made yourself look even more stupid, PLEASE read my first post. Read it twice actually. The kit I want to get, is a little extra than this "$599au" one that gtst25 has brought to our attention because of these extras... the kit I want to get ALSO comes with a 220psi pump. ok...I have been told that these kits can be supplied for very close to the $1k mark if ordered in groups of 5. If that is the case, then we could be in business. PLEASE read things a little better...... I'm sick of repeating myself, and having people trying to tell me that they have seen the same kit half the price elsewhere.... There is obviously a reason for that - no warranty, no extras, no safety mechanisms, has to be purchased from overseas and most likely need to sit in customs for 6 months, and the rest. so once again I say....go back to the start...and read...

mate, everything you'll ever need is right here http://members.dodo.com.au/~paul/

looks pretty damn nice

bit of research hey? Did you stop to check and see if those prices were AU or US.. They look to be US to me.... So double them all and they seem to be higher than what I am trying to organise. Those kits are also the same as what I plan to get. The system I am looking at - Comes with all the bells and whistles...

well, top of 4th is 180 so I'm thinking 5,500rpm in 5th is about 220 - 240. Got there probably a little too quick... maybe in around 20 seconds? stupid big turbo, making my car go too fast. Should have checked the powerfc, its accurate isn't it?

its because the t88 that you are running has a .48 exhaust housing and the fuel pump you got from a mac truck is pumping too little fuel. Dude, list your mods.

Really quick one - HOw fast would I be going, doing 5,500rpm in 5th gear? (top gear) All of the drive train is standard bar the clutch. I can't reply till this afternoon, but I will be checking email replies. Thanks guys

mins is the same - rarely see it above 75 degrees Any ways on making it run a little hotter? Or I guess thats a good thing?

bump

my R33 did that after I installed the exhaust and FMIC. Wanna know how I fixed it? Installed a powerfc and got it tuned. Now with the $22 boost tap, it is within .5 of a psi.

thanks for that SK. Saved me a bit of time.

Universal. All your doing is adding a water jet to your intake. And yep, on the pipe you're talking about.

bumperoo

water meth kits are 100% legal.
