Mark, I nabbed it for $450, absolute bargain!

Kye, it's the JJR one, here's the link

Meant to reply to your SMS today, sorry, been busy. Unfortunately I can't make it, the missus committed us to her friends 22nd that night, dress up so I don't really want to go I've got to organise a time to get the y-pipe of you if you don't mind, very keen on getting that sorted

Luke, thats hot.

My old man picked up a 1994 Mitsubishi Delica Spacegear today and I got to drive it home, 2.8L turbo diesel 4WD... it came with a Nardi Torino steering wheel! I'd nab the steering wheel if I had a car to put it into lol the R33 requires airbag and the daily honda has the cruise control switches which I dont want to lose.

[Luke_ENR34]

fark $450 is good. I'll be getting one of them to along with Titanium Dumps, front pipe and exhaust

[DSTROY]

Do you have a vent in the bonnet for the ARC box or does it just suck in hot engine bay air?

[Luke_ENR34]

Its has a vent in the front of it Chad which u attach a cold air intake. Im pretty sure with the bonnet closed it would act as a seal and just use the CAI to get air.

I was going to do the high boost mod on my car today but unfortunately got stuck at my mothers house all afternoon!!!!

skip it and put a bc in mate. i did it over the weekend, set mine to approx 12psi tonight. effing fantastic i tell ya!

[scandyflick]

turbos almost off again. rotated it from the exhaust wheel by hand while it was still on the engine, made a nice little grinding noise. sigh.

anyone know anyone who has a t28bb lying around?

[rad100]

dave get a 2871r

[scandyflick]

id really prefer to not spend more money on it. i have other things i want to spend money on.

[Matty 31]

and what are you trying to say huh? huh? huh?

never u mind hehe

heslo: envious of the airbox.......always loved the ARC stuff....except the price

luke_enr34: have you got any cables coming thru any grommets in the firewall...............could be water coming from road spray (in the engine bay) working its way thru. mate of mine had same issue, he thought his windscreen was shagged in his patrol (plus the next 2 they installed). turned out it was his cabling for the spotties that was tracking the water in via the grommet

Bingo!

[Luke_ENR34]

The things i know

Got my dash out today. Now to remove all the air-con components and just have the rear demister and a fan for the front window. Gonna be a shit load of space behind the dash now. Thinking of making a cf panel with 2 switches on it.

I have stock ecu, turbo ect ect ect. Little worried about detonation going for more than 7 psi. Did you bypass the factory solenoid altogether?

[heslo]

Yep, bypass it. You can still wind in decent boost with the stock ECU so long as your EBC is set up correctly... probably better off going that route to be honest. Then when you want/can afford go for a full fledged aftermarket ECU and get a tune, then you'll really see some gains!

[scandyflick]

turbos off. comp cover had half blown off. pulled the cover off completely, theres a couple marks on it, and theres some scraping on the blades, so ill be looking into some options tomorrow.

certainly did Steve

yeah the stock ecu is definitely a setback with boost - rich & retard really sucks. power wasn't being distributed nicely through the rev range - anywhere from 3500 - 6000 rpm was very flat, but as soon as you passed 6000, this big hit of power would chuck you back in your seat.

however -

when i added my fmic, i took the car for a drive around the block with the front bar and reo off -it was boosting almost 1 bar! and this was with the standard solenoid, and standard ecu - it flew! but as soon as i put the reo and front bar back on, boost dropped back to 9psi

Im runing a remapped ecu now, good bang for buck, and its roadworthy

[Luke_ENR34]

[heslo]

Very nice Luke!

[scandyflick]

mmmm, very nice.

How much is safe? I might have to do some homework on ebc's...

The only thing that annoys me really is the fact it hits the boost limit (5 psi I think...?) under 3000 RPM since the AM dump/front/cat and 3-3.5" catback has gone on. Would like just a little extra between 2800(approx)-5000 RPM.

Nice Luke...stretched rubber on the rears?
