im almost at the stage where ill be looking at getting a turbo for my new engine...does anyone else need 1...maybe we get a group buy discount if there is enough interest ?

Just go to MTQ and work on them for a good price and you will get the same discount as you would with a group buy. They are the distributor for Garrett in SA.

Good blokes down at MTQ, can't vouch for their pricing but I recently did work on their building (plastering) and all of the guys down there are top genuine blokes, will definately head down there when I go to upgrade my turbos :pirate:

Shweet. Thanks guys.

ps: MTQ stands for ?

Jon Lister represented my Dad recently when he got into a bit of trouble.

Was a really great lawyer. I mean... REALLY good.

from what i heard of ya tellin me after the case, sounds like he did do a really good job eh ben

My poor car has been neglected - 2 weeks of not being on charge every day and she's suffered. Poor thing struggles to start atm

haha careful matty, that car is now parked within public access, dont wanna get down again :domokun:

lend me your water temp gauge for the day :yucky:

otherwise, anyone point me in the direction of where to pick up a good quality water temp gauge by tomorrow night?

i can also say the guys at MTQ are very friendly, Happy to lend advice and do great work.

hey skylineguy19, Guageworks on Port Rd. Nice guys and have everything you need.

hahahah yeah, mum was out watching me to make sure i didnt go for a squirt. not that i could with 2 cars in the way in the driveway. hence why its up under the carport, as its not "public access"

Where have I seen that before? Oh, thats right....

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
