Just got back from the workshop. Trouble looming. Council tied up his afyternoon sprouting by laws and regs re noise (I told yall it was farkin loud)

just about done all the low and midrange tuning, I have never seen anybody so meticulous. Hes dropping the car off shortly, then It goes back monday when the animal will be unleashed. Very sedate 300rwhp at 8lb atm. Found an extra 50 hp just playing with the inlet cam. The idle sounds off the planet. Mick asked me if i wanted it smoother as he would alter thye cams to suit, i told him if he touched it i would kill him, twice, it sounds farkin haaaaaawwwwwwt!!!!

For those wondering why this is taking as long as it is its really simple. When i questioned the magic man re the time frame he told me straight up. If you want a tune like 90% of tunes going around atm then fine, I'll do it and you can have the car in a couple of hours. But what you will get for your money is a large hp number and a car rich as all shit to keep it safe, If you want the tune to unlock the potential of the build then Farkorf and let me tune it in my own way and my own time....I farked orf. :)

I understand the time required for a decent tune, but wow. Is Mick working on your car in between other jobs or just taking a farking long time on yours alone. I'd be scared to see your bill for the tune....you'd want some serious power/response!

the thing now pulls harder with the current 300hp than it did with the previous 340hp on the run in tune. and oh my son of rajab, that camy lumpy idle is just sooooooo porn :ninja:

rofl, I'm with you Matt. If he was seriously spending all that time on mine alone i would want a veyron at the end of it.

Due to illness and some other issues he has only spent 3/4 hours on mine. Patience grasshopper, it will be worth the wait.

man i am so unlucky i was at ipswitch like 1 -2 hrs ago...and i missed yah...bugger.

sounds like it is going to haul arse on 1 bar...cant wait to see it on 1.5 bar.....mmmmmm..

noel's busy as a mofo so i'll update you guys

it aint making anymore power than 440bhp, dont matter what boost, 18psi, or even 23psi. we think the cats collapsed.

also its now not holding boost, it's spiking. but i believe thats because the exhaust gases rnt escaping quick enough (collapsed cat) and the gases are backing up against the wastegate, forcing it closed and then increasing the boost.

he's also had to change fuel rail (got my tomei rail on there now) because the injectors werent sealing to the rail and had to change boost controller (now running blitz spec s) as it wouldnt allow any adjustment over the 9psi wastegate spring

    • Block bump. $400. As above cyl 6 needs bore or sleeve.
    • I would think making the argument that the travel is limited by a spring flexing against a spring perch as "the same method". Later on in the document they do state that the spring can't bind on full bump travel and cannot come loose in full rebound travel as well. (which is all very sensible). The laws are actually pretty sensible and reasonable. It's just that the people who enforce and check them don't actually read them or know them accurately. "Oh, coilovers? Instant fail mate. Don't even need to look at it." - Guy who will be instantly reported by me. There is probably merit to people who do get defected for height also get defected for the suspension in that state that allows it. I did never consider the people who are complaining about coilovers being picked on are also running around at 50mm off the floor.
    • I think given SAU's knowledge of E85 we can strongly conclude that 10% ethanol in almost any situation is entirely fine. Almost all of the myths against E85 were overblown, let alone E10.
    • From your link See bold text, is this referring to damper settings, if so that may a issue for "some" inspectors, I cannot see aftermarket coilovers having the evidence that "must be available that its functional performance is equivalent to the original" Maybe just remove the adjustment knows and hope for the best???? Meh 5.2 Suspension travel In all instances, modifications to a vehicle’s suspension must ensure the integrity of the system and not compromise the ride quality. At least two thirds of the original suspension travel should be maintained in both directions (rebound (i.e. extension) and bump (i.e. compression)), and rebound must be limited by the same method used by the vehicle manufacturer or if this is not practicable due to the nature of the modification, an equivalent method. If an alternative method is used, evidence must be available that its functional performance is equivalent to the original.
    • They actually don't - They adhere to VSB14 rules just like Victoria. The rules are against CABIN adjustable height, and it quite clearly states that the height has to be within parameters. I asked the VASS engineer to confirm this when I got my car engineered and they refused to engineer the coilovers because they didn't meet the requirements for requiring engineering. (mine are height adjustable.) People "Not wanting to bother" with "Actually reading/knowing/adhering to the rules" should result in fines and immediately losing the ability to issue blue slips and/or RWC's in Vic.
