hahaha yeah KINDA... except no turbo :P

i gave up on the lawn mower. we decided to get someone to do the lawns on our properties.

mr 32 that sounds good to me mate, bring it past whenever you like, my number is 0422 299 414.. give me a buzz and we'll organise a time that suits you.

ive kind've tuned it, but now when it turns off after the tank runs out it doesnt turn back on unless i give it a break.. is that normal?

it still runs hella rich though.

Nopers.. should be able to start it straight away. If anything, it should be EASIER to start than when it's cold.

I'd guess that your overfuelling is flooding it when it switches off? Needs to be leaned out in any case from what you describe.

ok just got back from 3 hardwares and a plumming suply store and i couldnt fin pvc anywhere near the size of my buggy rims. so it looks like i will have to duck tapping over the rubber. any other ideas would be good.

and is just the rear tyres or do you change all?

thanks mr 32

try bunnings warehouse on milperra rd.

ive got some 65mm pvc at my place that i use.

thats what i did before i got pvc.

did you try bunnings warehouse plumbing section?

theyve got 1m lengths of different sizes.. i might go buy some more in a different size to see if i can get a better fit.

yeh i went down to bunnings before but i dont know what section i was in, that place is so big now.

thsts a good idea the tighter the fit the better you dont want them to come off mid slide

hehehe!!

Oh... If it's pouring down with rain tomorrow, obviously this will be off. The courts are outside. Otherwise, it's looking good for tomorrow! =-D

You can use www.travelmate.com.au to map from your house to Abott Road in Curl Curl. Use the map-maker option. =-]

Buggy tyres... sometimes it's best to buy PVC that is a fraction SMALLER than the tyre, then squeeze the tyre inside the PVC (while it's still on the rim)

If you want to mount directly to the rim, use electrical tape and wrap the rim until you can just *barely* squeeze the PVC on. Keep the tape tight all the time, and count how many complete revolutions you do... this makes it quicker for the proceeding rims.

    • Increasing overlap will bring the torque down earlier (and make your idle sound sick lol). Worth a shot (if you dyno time) to experience a bit (providing you are confident your valves won't kiss your pistons). Is to just take off 5 degrees across the boosted area of the map, and then retard the exhaust cam let's say, 3 degrees at a time and then overlay all the runs with VCT on all the way and VCT off as soon as you make positive pressure. Ideally you would have a total of 6x overlays to looks at 0 exhaust & VCT off once manifold pressure is +ve 0 exhaust & VCT on all the way -5 exhaust & VCT off once manifold pressure is +ve -5 exhaust & VCT on all the way -10 exhaust & VCT off once manifold pressure is +ve -10 exhaust & VCT on all the way Just leave your O2 wideband closed loop on for all of the boost area & RPM, and hopefully there isn't too much fuel correction needed and the Haltech is fast enough to compensate (I do this, then apply the correction to the main table). Getting that overlay data should give you a good indication of what to aim for.
    • So, my main limitation here is that the car does not have an oil pressure sensor by default, just a switch. As part of my tune I bought an oil pressure sensor upgrade so I now have access to oil pressure levels and logging rather than just the boolean behaviour of the switch but this means I need to use the tuning app to display this value. So, this rules out using any other app on the iPad. The app will also flash when pressure drops which is a nice feature. I have replaced the centre screen with an Android one, which is awesome for Android Auto, but I think it might be too far away and out of my line of sight. I might add some gauges to it this weekend and just see. I guess if its just temp and oil pressure I can make them massive! 🤣  
    • This is what the look like normally. Except we only got the 2 doors locally
    • Back pressure is not really a function of the exhaust itself, but the turbine/housing. So the question/point remains valid. I would be fitting an EMAP tapping point and seeing what is going on in the exhaust manifold before committing to throwing boost at it. Flow. No intercooler is actually rated for continuous operation at any power level wrt temperatures, as they are no actually capable of shifting the required amounts of heat on a continuous basis. They get hot during a pul, then dump some of that heat into the external air (and some back into the internal air) during off load moments/periods). You probaby do need a bigger core, given the power level you're already at is somewhat above the "rating" of the cooler. Put pressure tapping points either side of the core (which possibly you already have, if you have a boost source near the compressor outlet and tapping near the throttle for existing purposes) and report on delta P across the core.   I haven't done the mass flow calculation to see where you would be sitting on the compressor map at the ~450is rwkW level we're talking here, but if you look just at the PR you're running at, which is ~2.8-2.9, then you have a really really wide swath of the compressor map to run in, and so long as you were making between about 45-75 lb/min of flow, you should have really good comp efficiency, with the ideal being betweem 55 and 65. I can't see the need to shift drastically on the map to get better results.
    • Welcome 🙂 The ER34 wheels and slight lowering suit the R33 sedan really well. I'm firmly in the 'keep it stock, at least on the outside' camp.
