hmm liz how bout a sr20 powered mx5 ? cool and quick :)

too expensive

if it's a track car, it needs to be cheap to set up and cheap to run and repair!

so s13 with s14 engine and s15 brakes.. i reckon it's a good combo

sic! ur a champ :thumbsup:

dont spose u know, what are trust t618z's rated to? are they 800hp like the gt-rs's?

no idea, for all my turbo needs I talk to slide

so your forcing your dreams onto me :thumbsup: you sound like a bad father. "you'll do it because i say so!" :)

the thing with the 20btt is that it has 224kw and 401nm of torque stock! also bear in mind that its making that torque from 2500rpm upto 5500rpm i believe. no sr could match that. now change the turbo's up the boost to around 15psi each and your going to have a very very quick car with almost no work involved at all! meanwhile the little sr20 is still trying to make the same power with the same mods.

its going to be a hill climb car. s13 are too heavy for what i want. mx-5 is lighter and same price range

edit: troy, the coilovers i want for it are 3k for the set. tarmac rally spec ones from tein, have to be brought over from japan

yes but i remeber helping a mate do a 13b one and he had al sorts of problems in having to move the steering and cost him heaps.

from what bullet told me there isnt a lot needed other than the mounts and driveline (i could be mistaken)

sounds good, but i have to restrain myself from looking for one just yet, not till insurance pay me. they could take months for all i know :) i want the car now, but i cant yet :thumbsup:

but you didn't answer my question who makes that kit?

you never asked me that question :thumbsup: the body kit - GARAGE VARY, engine mounts - Bullet racing, suspension - TEIN. didnt know which one you meant since you didnt really ask me?

lol, no... not towin any boats or anythin.

the washer between the plates was worn out or something.

dan replaced it a few wks back.

something went wrong last sunday taking off up a steep hill and started to make a really loud noise.

ended up being the spiggot bush which was replaced today.

also replaced some needle thing in the clutch to from what it orginally came with to a nismo one.

feels alot smoother with the gear changes now.

1200HP CLUTCH!!!

    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
