BB - Hitman didn't tune my stock ECU - he tuned the SAFC2 which is in my car. The stock ECU has a lot of operating parameters as we all know - we couldn't wind up boost past 11psi as the car would cut out at 4.5K rpm.

sorry mate, silly me forgot about that. just when you said 'tune' and 'stock ecu' for my brain said re-map!

Good talking to you Joe :P

And thanks guys. :(

Links; he doesn't want to use your turbo It's not good enough, he replaces it with a "new" item! Bastard :P..

Hmm.. so flog off mine for 300.. pay for some of the intercooler.. hmm.. not bad.. not bad.. get an aftermarket ECU.. good $2500 upgrade + labour + tuning..

;)

Satanic Im from brisbane/gold coast. Im not sure if its because I had that on holiday glow or something but the women in Sydney are far more willing I found when I was down there a month back.

But f**k driving in that place, what a joke. Better chemists up here however if you need vitamins or berocas hehe

Checked in the coin compartment above your right knee? I always forget I have money there!

??????? no not there, found 2 buttons instead - 1 gave me decent levels of boost, the other gave me ridiculous levels of boost. No coins there - I gather I dont have a coin-slot.

ross80: you must be doing something wrong! Last time I was on the Gold Coast, all I saw was "hi-beaming" everywhere!

Tangles: you're just special! Where can I get those buttons? I believe the $4.80 in my coin tray is a small price to pay for buttons :cheers:

Of course I am. LOL.

Im actually pretty sure you've got the same boost controller that I have! (Hybrid 2stage), plus yours has more kick than mine anyway! Now, my wife has a coinslot stashed somewhere, but hasnt dispensed anything to me for a while, all this talk of highbeams is driving me stiffly up the wall.

:D

anyways, on topic, Im pretty sure I'll be going Ball Bearing, not Bush

Dyno Graph is on my website... follow the link below.

PM me for more details if you want, Northern Beaches Performance has a few deals going on with Sliding Performance at the moment.

Just had a look at your webpage looks like a pretty good setup. Is it as easy to bolt on as the GCG one? Are both the oil and water lines used with the journal bearing setup?

Looking forward to seeing your results with the new injectors and ECU installed.

cheers

Until i see a back to back comparison against a GCG hiflow i wont hold my breath. at half the cost and journal bearing I can't see it being as good.

I am interested in installation routine to get it working and boost response

Just look at my dyno graph.... even though it's half the price and journal bearing, I'm telling you it is very comparable! I should really put my torque curve up :)

Nah, I'm not going to argue - my knowledge is not that great about turbos and I admit that. All I'll say is that I'm very happy with my pet snail and can't wait to feed it some steroids!

Installation is bolt on - provided all smaller fittings and all that are purchased, shouldn't take that long.

Thanks again Stan

The turbo's are straight bolt ins with only very small modifications required and that is to one oil line and banjo bolts/nuts which is very cheap to do and the following instructions will explain.

These modifications are required to assist in cooling and lubricating the journal bearing.

I am more than happy to answer any questions you may have.

Please email me at [email protected] or alternativly just pm me :)

hey i know i sound like a newb asking this, which i am but what is the difference between ball bearing and bush bearing? any spooling differences? which one has longer life?

slide: money is starting to build up... one more week i hope and i will be able to try out this thing.

stan: hey man, im guessing your hitting boostcut? maybe? dunno? hehhee

    • Hi all,   long time listener, first time caller   i was wondering if anyone can help me identify a transistor on the climate control unit board that decided to fry itself   I've circled it in the attached photo   any help would be appreciated
    • I mean, I got two VASS engineers to refuse to cert my own coilovers stating those very laws. Appendix B makes it pretty clear what it considers 'Variable Suspension' to be. In my lived experience they can't certify something that isn't actually in the list as something that requires certification. In the VASS engineering checklist they have to complete (LS3/NCOP11) and sign on there is nothing there. All the references inside NCOP11 state that if it's variable by the driver that height needs to maintain 100mm while the car is in motion. It states the car is lowered lowering blocks and other types of things are acceptable. Dialling out a shock is about as 'user adjustable' as changing any other suspension component lol. I wanted to have it signed off to dissuade HWP and RWC testers to state the suspension is legal to avoid having this discussion with them. The real problem is that Police and RWC/Pink/Blue slip people will say it needs engineering, and the engineers will state it doesn't need engineering. It is hugely irritating when aforementioned people get all "i know the rules mate feck off" when they don't, and the actual engineers are pleasant as all hell and do know the rules. Cars failing RWC for things that aren't listed in the RWC requirements is another thing here entirely!
    • I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.
    • The hydrocarbon component of E10 can be shittier, and is in fact, shittier, than that used in normal 91RON fuel. That's because the octane boost provided by the ethanol allows them to use stuff that doesn't make the grade without the help. The 1c/L saving typically available on E10 is going to be massively overridden by the increased consumption caused by the ethanol and the crappier HC (ie the HCs will be less dense, meaning that there will definitely be less energy per unit volume than for more dense HCs). That is one of the reasons why P98 will return better fuel consumption than 91 does, even with the ignition timing completely fixed. There is more energy per unit volume because the HCs used in 98 are higher density than in the lawnmower fuel.
    • No, I'd suggest that that is the checklist for pneumatic/hydraulic adjustable systems. I would say, based on my years of reading and complying with Australian Standards and similar regulations, that the narrow interpretation of Clause 3.2 b would be the preferred/expected/intended one, by the author, and those using the standard. Wishful thinking need not apply.
