What an angry angry engine, Finally got it to run after a hell of a lot of dicking around. Man i seriously felt like pushing it in to the back yard and parking it permanently. Thank god some young fellas have more patience than me.

Mick and shane plugged away while i went and sulked and before you know it its idling and it sounds like armagedon.

Wonder how many mufflers you can fit to a gtst.

Shane and i drove it round the block and all systems appear to be working, brakes are an issue. hard hard pedal and very average stopping power.

Hopefully it goes on the dyno tomorrow , Mick the magician can cast his spell on it and make it quiet as a church mouse with a gazillionty horsepower. :P

ahhhhh i just had a fat attack, i dont want to sell mine now.....i want to put the 25 in it.

That sounds farken stoopidly horny old man, shotgun a straight line run in it. i dont want to go round corners with you with that much power.

Just make sure you dont break it.

So what was the problem anyway?

Can it be told or?

Sure mate, No secrets here. It wasnt one problem as such but several very annoying stupid niggles.

Wrong injectors first, then a crook afm, then a dodgy signal wire from the afm to the puda, then a cas niggle. It was really starting to piss me off. On top of that the puda didnt recognise any of the engine settings till magic Mick tapped out several different sets of new numbers on the lappy and away it went.

It hasnt been tuned yet, but hopefully that will happen today. The numbers are all safe for me to at least mosey it around to the workshop and thats excactly what i will do shortly.

Sick!!

can i push the accelerator at some stage??? while stationary of course.

Its kewl dude, i've seen you drive remember. :thumbsup:

yeah true, did you still want to take a ride in mine to check the suspension?

just letting you know after talking with a few people, if mine doesnt come up to scratch i will prob be looking to put SK's gear in it. but if mines ok then it'll stay, but my ride height is gaying up my handling atm...which is kinda surprising how it will handle when it is set right.

    • The car remains in paint jail. I am now pretty convinced that the whole "RB25 Airboxes are kinda limiting to ~300kw" could be a thing. Also saw a good video from Engine Masters: (Sorry for FB link) (https://www.facebook.com/watch/?ref=search&v=761771519471924&external_log_id=c10bcbb6-2c39-4ff3-9240-287e9921fde6&q=Cold Air Considerations) Where they tested Pod Filter sizes and kept adding bends to a LS3 on an Engine Dyno to find if bends caused power loss. It's a good video worth watching - They did lose ~25hp from making an intake which had 3x90's and a 120 degree. They only lost maybe 1hp with a basic 90. I feel that by sealing up my airbox I have: 1) Created the same restriction a stock airbox would have. 2) Created a very convoluted set of intake 'pipes' by forcing all the air through the ducts. So I am pretty confident I'll be going full circle and have a huge hot air intake pod and actually see a benefit. The air does *not* stay hot once it gets flowing, aided by the ducts, and the pod can then pull air from anywhere. All the posts of yore talk about the stock airbox costing 10-15kw at 300kw+ but you know what? I f**king would very much like that 10-15kw and I remember my own pod filter in engine bay experiences. Turns out the GTT Reo and Headlight brackets really don't allow you to mount GTR items, no matter what the internet says. Various brackets have had to be made up to actually make it fit right for the front bar. Also some idiot mounted a 3L Accusump right where the bumper wants to go, so that has had to be 'relocated' To where, I am still not sure, but it's supposedly mounted in the pictures and I can't see it.
    • Sounds like the oil pressure light is wired into the oil temp sensor... As it warms up, resistance on temp sensor reduces, hence more current can flow and the dash light gets brighter.
    • Got the front subframe and suspension in.    
    • If it's cold in summer, then no issue. If it's cutting out every few seconds and you're not reaching your target temp, then there's an issue. One could be the pressure switch and the other issue could be the temp probe inside the evaporator.
