slide stage 2 is a 360degree journal bearing rb25det turbo, oil and water cooled, with max hiflow port work done to the front/rear housing, and big steel wheels

with timing and fuel deliverie issues sorted at various rpm points it should be anything but laggy; very very close to stock in terms of minimal lag

I'll get the stag to Boostworx then with the current turbo and see if Shaun can smooth out that lag then :P

good choice ruby!

sorry to hear craig, 98 is a good knock tho

andrew, was willing and ready for a blast down to victa, n/m

warm weather hey, weird side effect from the fentynal patches is massive random sweats

sux

that's the one that was sitting at wilall a month or so ago! and isn't the osgiken 3litre insane? i know of a dude who has keir's old engine in his track prep r32 with 2 trust t51's i think, it pulled about 420kw? with over 1000nm of torque and i remember when he took me for a spin! started off in 2nd and ripped up the semi slicks like they're nothing and man can this guy can drive as well

Yeah mate that's the car - and Munro's engine is the identical specs to Keirs old one, and is making about the same power too. Very scary, but a lot of fun.

Sorry Brendan - I didn't see your post until I got home. But you wouldn't have been able to keep up, in all seriousness .... we were going *cough* a bit fast - to give you an idea we did the 50km from Delamere to Victor Harbor down Range Road (favourite road in Australia) in under 15 minutes .... maybe next time :P

cant believe the OS Giken block is worth $30k!

yeah me neither - and Munro has 2 of them - one in his 3lt streeter, and one in his race GTR (which is nearly finished and will be running over 500rwkw again on E85).

Betcha $50 I would have kept up :down:

in all seriousness too - Im not a betting man, but One Id take 'cause I know Id get a free fiddy (no speed limiter, good suspn.)

:D

alls good, I knew I posted too late, should have posted at 7am doh

and yes I know the delemere rd very well, favourite road as well for me, closely followed by clarendon thru meadows to the end; strath-goolwa turnoff (damn got a brain fade on rd name)

one of my friends just picked up a vr4 4g63 motor, gearbox and a full aftermarket turbo set up with ex-gate, manifold etc for stuff all

he only wants the gear box for his car.

doesnt anyone know of any rwd cars that we can get CHEAP and dump the motor into or does it have to be fwd or awd to work?

I've heard crazy rumours that the engine is a bolt in proposition for older model RWD Lancers (like gearbox and mounts all line up).

I have an older model RWD Lancer, I think we should test this theory :D

Nah I read somewhere the factory rally team (or a private one, can't remember) using the old lancer chassis put one of the first 4G63s in, although in typical internet fashion this is probably a crock of shit.

Still, my Lancer is an A73 I think, the first one, with a 4G33 engine. The engine code is similar enough so you never know.

yeh thats what we were saying! On main roads too!

Was talkin to the lady at the local corner shop, said that one of em got hit by a car runnin away or something, but has been caught.

Watch channel 7 tonite i guess and find out the details.

I can't believe it either.........I doubt if the block alone is worth $30K........maybe with very expensive internals ie. a short motor

    • So sadly the fuel pump etc was not it. The pump and filter is new and it is still cutting around 4000 rpm. A read something about ABS/TCS (engine is from stagea and ECU too so no TCS) and i dont know for 100% that my car has ABS. It has ABS "cube" in engine bay but i dont think it works(or at least from my braking experience). Can be something like that?  I will be driving the car next week to Nistune tuner to properly see what is wrong...  
    • the Tomei LSD fluid with lsd kit. frustrated that it was shaking the car to crap and affecting everything else negatively, I pulled the diff last night, and removed the lsd carrier, could not find anything wrong, however it seem to be 100 locked up acceleration, and deacceleration, wondering if they sent me a 2 way not a 1.5??  either way I installed the stock open carrier back in place. test drove everything smooth as butter again. no shake, shutter, random, what felt like clutch slip and grab or drive shaft play, etc. something differently wrong in side the lsd. I might bother taking it apart (if possible) to figure out what's going on inside this carrier, as bought too long ago to return.  only draw back is its back to a one wheel wonder.
    • If there's oil in with the clutch, I hope it finds its way out even if that hole has a cover/grommet 😛 I don't want oil near my cars clutch! 😛 Interested to hear the answer about covering it, I'm assuming a bung for a gearbox from another car that has a grommet to suit.
