omfg. instant hardon... I want one...

-D

mmmmmmm garage porn..lol

needs the mandatory tire posters and snap on tools posters with half nude girlies..lol,,, and the keg bar fridge and couch for mates parties after hours.lol

they could leave the GT3 in it for me too..lol

*long winded explanation*

I've already added a cusco brake cylinder brace and braided brake lines and those two improve the feeling/response of the brakes quite a bit. The new rotors should really seal the deal, I can't see myself needing bigger calipers or disc diameter...

-D

I researched the brake cylinder stopper a bit today, and had responses from "nope, dont bother on a street car, no difference" to "wow i felt the difference straight away!" I guess with more rigidity in the cylinder your always going to get a better pedal feel.

Well just got my car back with some new goodies on, she's sweet as! Props to Andrew (Blue32) for the help and Pete (SLED) for the parts :P

I'm off to bed, night all :laugh:

nice work Luke, let me no when ya free n we'll go for a boost

fk fk fk, i got mass missfire!! halp!

upped the boost to 11 today, stock turbo, hybrid front mount, 3.5" trust cat back, wrapped coil packs in insulation, re-gaped plugs to .8mm and get a few flat spots from 5 - 6.500 rpm.

anything else i can do apart from new coil packs and ecu management?

i was hoping it wouldn't be anywhere near as bad... think I might put off dump pipe and high flow cat till i get a piggyback or remap :P

dont even bother with new coils Marko.

ecu

recommendations?

full house (the car is auto sadly so pfc is off limits...)

piggyback

remap

???

note, i don't have a lot of money to play with atm saving up for paintjob.

Mate i would be putting my money on coil packs

Whack it on the dyno and you will find the reason in about 5 minutes

haha yeah i thought the coil packs would be rooted after so many years in a very hot place. however in saying that ill give insulation silicone a go first. If it holds 10-11psi without misfiring ill be happy, saves me $500 till i really need it (i hope). not planning on going any higher than that for a while.

    • Given you're running a 2.8 and my 2.5 is not really like for like, I suspect there could be a bit more timing you could give it. What is the kW yield per degree you're putting through it? Here's my E85 map to give you an idea, where it was I could still get another 3~4kW per degree thrown at it.  
    • It turns out that Setrab make a fan specifically for the oil cooler which is great and I've installed it with minimal swearing. I removed my 2x 12in push fans from the front of my aircon condenser and wired them into this. My main thermo fans kick on when I use the aircon anyway and would effectively already be working as puller fans through the condensor which is infront of the rad. The push fans (understandably) didn't really do much in the config they were previously in so now they're out. Now we're on to the "Oil fan doesn't really do much either!". Yes I'll duct it next if it does nothing in heavy use which it shouldn't. But hey, the object exists and fits great and is cool. Let me have this. The car is still in the "do my fittings leak oil now? do my wheels actually rub?" phase. I did a spirited drive on them and didn't hear or feel anything. Then I got back home and noticed there were grind marks on the inside of the rims, though I couldn't see where they were touching I got out the grinder and attacked the suspects. Note: I do not know how to use a grinder. Then I realised I had dragged my new rims across my concrete driveway before I did this drive. I didn't think I had damage at that time when I briefly looked...... but remembered this occurred after I did all the angle grinding. The grinding on the wheels in some very specific spots. It's not around the whole rim for example, which lines up with dragging it across concrete more than hitting a suspension component for even 1 full rotation. So everything is currently painted and taped up and I need to test it some more to see if it really IS rubbing, but from inside the car it doesn't feel like it is. In other news I attempted to do a before and after comparison of the heads/cam upgrade thing. Dynos lie, everything is in different measurements. Here is the data from the sandown back straight. Car go faster than before. Vroom vroom.
    • Here's my base ignition. +3 correction to redline when shooting water/meth which is always on. Looking at my old ignition table, I should be able to add 1-2 degree's next time I'm on the dyno.  Let me know your thoughts. 
    • Given what I know now - same haha, but this was 12 years ago with second hand 740cc Nismo injectors in my S15 daily, I was too busy hunting elsewhere for the issue to even look at the injectors, running through some cleaner was a happy coincidence haha
    • Not a terrible idea. But if I ever had concerns that my injectors were sufficiently dirty to be causing me a problem, they would be out of the engine and onto the actual injector cleaner/testing bench.
