Thanks guys - how old do I feel ! 39 yesterday. Ha ha.

Sat on my arse all day infront of the TV and computer - Having a busted leg is no fun !

Tosh - Once the leg is better, I plan od getting out to see you guys some more - Now that I have a half decent car again !

Project Cosmo is coming along well - with a few suprises coming up :(:):P

copulater

B-Man

I farking can't help myself......

Told myself I was going to keep the Cosmo pretty much stock - and modify the shit out of the TX3 - Now I am doing both - and spending heaps more $$ on the Cosmo.....

Oh well, guess it is in my blood.

I have NFI how the Cosmo will go with the T04Z - the only comparison I have are some 20Bs with either the T04S or GT3542 - And in my opinion the HKS T4O4Z is better for spool and top end than both of these.

Should be good though - 20B will bring on the boost pretty quick and the turbo is rated to 700 or 800PS depeding on where you get your specs from.

Now for a wastegate - oh, whoops - I just found one...........

At least the Cosmo will stop well - it will never be a track car - but I might take it out on the track after the............. wait for it...............

Manual Conversion........ - OMFG - Did I just say that.....

    • Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is may e 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Dose anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys
    • Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?
    • My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.
    • There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.
    • I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.
