Okay guys. I have a slight delimma and wanted to get your opinions.

Currently my car is stock with the exception of a ACT twin carbon clutch, Kakimoto Catback exhaust, and an ECU flash.

I have in my garage at home sitting a few goodies that I was saving for when I got the rest of my stuff necessary for my build. Twin HKS 2530's, a Power FC w/datalogit, a Greddy Profec B Spec II Boost Controller, an EGT, Wideband o2, and boost gauge and a Nismo AFPR.

Well here is my delimma. As I said above I was initially planning on waiting until I had all of my stuff necessary to complete my build and then throwing all of it on at once. However I currently have someone who is trying to buy my stock turbos for a GOOD bit of money (relative of course). This would of course give me MORE money to buy MORE parts for my build.

My question is this. Is it safe/a good idea to go ahead and throw on my Power FC, gauges, boost controller, and run my 2530's with my car in its otherwise close to stock form except for a catback and a clutch? Will this cause any real problems for me? Now of course I dont expect to be able to throw on my 2530's and run 1.6bar or anything. Just a decent amount that can be run safely. Also I would initially just get a decent road tune on my Power FC until I had dont more stuff with my build. I just wanted to ask if this was a decent idea before I did it. This would of course allow me to sell my stockers and make some money. Also I have an AFPR sitting at home as well. Should I throw this on to be a TEMPORARY band aid for the stock pump or injectors? Or just leave it alone till later? I know there is discussion on wither or not you need an AFPR with a build, but a situation like mine seems like the exact reason for an AFPR. To increase the fuel pressure to be a TEMPORARY band aid for stock pump and injectors.

So what do you guys think? Also if it is a fine idea, how much boost can I safely run the 2530's at without blowing my stuff up? Install the AFPR or no? Thanks a lot guys. Sorry if the question seems stupid. Personally I would say go for it as long as you dont turn the boost up too much, however I have heard conflicting things and want to be sure. Thx.

Just put em on, and dont wind up the boost.

It will be ok on a stock ECU... your really only going to get issues if you try go for more power.

If you just put the 2530's on there, you might have a minor driveability issue, but i really dont think you'll have a problem.

Wont even need to install the PowerFC or other bits till your ready

      Biggest thing is you're okay!   It sounds like between the accident, and the drive home, it was a pretty torturous trip again! On the bright side, you took the opportunity to enjoy the event more from the perspective of a spectator, than as an entrant!   Sad to see so much damage to the car. It really has taken a HUGE hit in the front end. If/when you choose to repair, hopefully the rails are straight (At least from shock tower backwards). Hopefully the extra cage coming through there has save most of the chassis rails, and HOPEFULLY saved the motor too. Best of luck when you eventually get motivated to start pulling it down to check it all out

      Slight brake pedal stutter after new pads

      Sounds more like what Brad said, that it's mainly transfer. What pad bed in procedure did you use, and did you replace/machine the rotors, or just swap pads?

      The stutter is almost entirely in the pedal. I don't feel the brakes release and reapply as you would with ABS engaging but the pedal feels that way, without the brakes releasing. It only lasts for less than a second and the pedal is fine again. It's hard to explain, sorry.  I'll get under this weekend and just double check everything is tight. Fluid is at max where I left it.

      What bedding in procedure did you use?   When you say stutter, what exactly do you mean? Like it feels like someone letting go of the brakes momentarily and regrabbing them again to get you to stop? Re-reading your post, and that is what it kind of makes me think you're explaining, like theres a little bit of a jolt, likely just as you're reaching a stop. I've only had this issue once. And if its caused by what caused mine, you will want to get the car up on stands again and check it over. Mine was a case of a caliper mounting bolt coming out and letting the caliper rotate on the other remaining bolt and gave play in a wheel as it came to a stop. But not every stop either!

      Yeop... binned it   This will be a summary will not many pics atm and cbf  Fixed the samsonas - it was totally munched Put a new precision 7675 T4 on with proper split pulse mani Got to Sydney to get to car - drove to canberra to get racecar - drive back to sydney that night Next day all day at Plasmaman putting on new clamps cleaning some things up and adding another large engine oil cooler sitting at the rear above diffuser to keep things cooler Next day - Tuesday - on Dyno - killer wikid awesome pumped out really good numbers - more mid range and on lower boost levels Wednesday - first prac - all day again getting the suspension right - had to borrow front suspension again - out do a lap come in - out do a lap - in - what i had just couldnt handle the load at the more consistent higher speeds - got a lap in at the end of the day that was pretty reasonable  Put it this way that lap wouldve had me in 4th in Pro am for the whole event - with only 700 hp and used tyres Thurs first official prac day - lap out warm up - then entered a hotlap with above setting and 80% effort took corners 1,2,3 and into 4 car felt awesome -  rear came around out of nowhere bang into the wall near front on at whatever 140 kmph Done, over, gone Just one of those how did that happen apparently as all indications show nothing out of the ordinary Got to spend the rest of the time at the event like I hadnt done before - was actually Ok mainly as I had my family and my boy is 9 and got treated like a rockstar Long trip home, lost a trailer wheel in nowhere land, X5 airbag suspension gave up half way across nullabour and rode on bumps stops (its now completely fine) had to do a 19 hr drive day on day 3 as accommodation got screwed up so just had to keep driving till found a town with some Now to reassess - hopefully the motor and other things are OK but yet to be seen too. There is no easy fix there is no i'll just order that part and get it sent - we'll have a talk to people see what can happen and what the go is but at minimum its rebuild from scratch struts forward and alot of time effort and $ should and if I return and if but maybe/ when  I have the cage tied into the front strut towers - if I didnt have that things couldnt been worse you can say its just a front end but if you know what goes into these cars... you'll know what that actually means in reality   Car was very fast. Disappointing we just didnt get to show it Effort doesnt win you races though     Apparently this is motorsport !
