I went out there with a mate on Saturday, got there at 5 when races were meant to start. Was a decent crowd there at first then it grew getting later into the night. There was probably 15-20 cars that were actually racing, got bored of seeing the same commy's after a few hours and left at 7.

Loved seeing a 10 second plymouth and a 9 sec torana carve up the field though.

Still deciding but will probably be something I work out with Stao (Hypergear)

About to talk to him about a dual ceramic roller bearing turbo, just weighing up whether its gonna be to much of a risk as those turbos are a new development. So I'll probably just end up going with a standard version of the turbo.

Still tossing up between a G2.5 or a G3 of some sort. Either will net me 300rwkw as my setup will be essentially the same as Stao's except I will have a little bit extra from the Poncams and the 6boost manifold.

Just gotta weigh up which will be best

Other option will probably be a GTX30 series. But The benifit of going with Stao is the customer support after sales is outstanding

I'm not going to turn this into a massive debate about how 'x' turbo is better then 'y' turbo, I've learnt my lesson from the HKS. It didn't make the power and there was no customer support due to it being a japanese turbo. I'm more then open to suggestions but at the moment my mind is fairly made up

Have you looked at the Kando t67 series? Brock has run one, and a mate of mine took off his gt3076 ( made 310rwkw at 18psi) to buy the slightly larger Kando which was only $900.

They are a very good turbo.

just make sure its not an internal gated kando as the rear housing dump pipe setup they run isnt the greatest... doubt u would be running IW anyway... other then that kando seem pretty good and LOTS of ppl are running them and happy.

what sized cams u go ??

I can't comment on the internal gated setups anyway, as all of my mates have run external gates.

External gates are superior and a must in all high horsepower / high boost applications anyway.

I dont know enough about the Kando's to go for one, not bagging them, just not enough knowledge

The Hypergear allows me to go ext gate later on by changing the turbine housing to an ext gated setup.

I think my other option is a GTX3076. The 3071 would probably suit better but the mods I have mean I could probably get the 76 coming on song alright and gain the extra power.

Anyone want to buy a set of Vertini Hennessey 20x8.5 +25 F 20x10 +25 R WITH 225/35/20 F 255/35/20 R Achilles ATR Sports?

They are 114.3 stud pattern, HAVEN'T been fitted to a car yet. They have been mounted to tyres yesterday, i've had a change of heart and i'm going for a different set of wheels.

Purchased them for $2025 + $640 for tyres. Happy to sell them to someone local for $2500. PERFECT condition. 4'' dish on the back, 2'' on the front. They look amazing.

Yeah Sean I'd chuck them on the Facebook mackay car parts for sale page if you havent already done so. I dont think anyone on here has a car they want 20's on off the top of my head. But I'm sure you'll find someone with a Falcon (Yes stereotyping now) that will want them

That'll be my plan for next week, i have to take pics of them but i'm away for the weekend going to daydream for a day and staying in a f*cking nice hotel in Airlie all weekend can't wait.

Will put pics and an ad on that FB page, no doubt some falcon bogan will buy them.. pretty sad we share the same stud pattern haha.

    • Yeah well per the video it took 15s for the stock unit to start up....even if I give it a few seconds discount for starting that is at least 12 sec before you get a reverse camera if you are trying to leave a park.  The android unit is way faster, but 2016 for the stock unit is a long time ago in consumer electronics
    • Yea that’s why I said ima test them with multimeter and see the reads.
    • Only at idle. Isn’t a problem when rev it seems.
    • @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?  
    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
