Nice...

Love that look...

Im guessing that turbo is not your $890 one arron... :D

I did get one of them high flow turbos off Aaron and then I found out I had a crack exhaust manifold from the November 30 track day and so I get this dumb idea to go a high mount turbo and because I did that, this would not fit because I change this and this what not fit any more because I change that and so on.

now its a T04z

you will have to ask Aaron on the turbo i got no idea it has changed a few times and Ive lost track whats in it. The cost of the turbo you will have to ask Aaron as well but I got the manifold off here and it was like 350 bucks or get one of ebay for the same price

atm it has not been tuned for power only to run till I fixed a few things up for the next tune which is tomorrow and at the moment its coming on full boost at 4000RPM thats with the boost controller turned off all together.

No internal work as yet (bolt ons cost to much as it is) I will get a set of cams and soon as I get the new clutch installed first

Nice...

Haha nah mate

Its quite a bit larger than the Highflows :laugh:

The comp side has been modified to fit a larger 60 trim wheel instead of the 57 trim wheel that was in there.

A/R is now about .73 comp side and .84 A/R turbine housing

Well I got the car back from Matty's (JUST barley) I was driving back to work from Matty's and I gave it a bit for the first time and guess what happened.

What you say!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It BLOODY THING CAUGHT FIRE god damn it

Luckily I had bought a fire extinguisher a few weeks back and put it in the car.

on another bad note I only made 330rwhp because the std clutch could not handel it

Na no wire damage I got them moved for that reason. Mine run through the guard channel. Its because of the uni filter on top of the cam covers, it piss oil out through there and on to the turbo and manifold as such caught fire. I have to change the T piece to a 90 degree fitting on the cam cover and put the uni filter somewhere else, maybe on the catcher can

what caught on fire???

goddamn you are lucky you had an extuingisher..... note to self; get one!

Yeah I'm glad i bought one and yes very good idea go get one.

I'm going to buy 2 more today and mount them in the car somewhere

The only bad thing is they make a massive mess through the whole engine bay :) I guess thats better then a burnt out car

hell yeah - considering the insurance company *may* have been able to worm out of it all by suggesting it was the 'illegal?' modifications which caused the fire.

best of luck with it

Man what a bummer, did you tread on the cracks as a kid lol, a new clutch what are you looking for the replacement?

More like killed a kid the way his luck is going.

You'll get there one day man hey. She'll be right.

    • Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.
    • Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.
    • Thanks @Duncan Ride height is fine. I think it's almost stock tbh. Happy to share a pic. I don't actually have a regular mechanic as haven't lived in Sydney too long. Could you or anyone recommend any shops in Sydney?
    • You just need a different blue slip shop (preferably one you regularly use as a mechanic), and make sure the coil overs are as close as possible to standard height
    • yeah the sugar refining companies were pushing for the same in Oz originally, all fuels were going to have 10% ethanol to make them "cheaper" (noting, that the loss in l/100 might be greater than the decrease in price). I guess they won that fight in Canadia
