got a yellow and going over the pits probably tuesday.

the motor has been rebuilt and u can obviously hear that its got big cams in it.

if the examiner asks whats in the motor, should i just tell them that i dont know, or that it just has cams?

it also has a high mount turbo.

hope i dont get into too much trouble.

No point asking interstate people about passing the pits.

The regulations we have here in WA are pretty tame compared to those in the eastern states.

Claim the motor is a standard GTR motor, with standard GTR cams and management.

The guys at the pits don't care too much about internal shit, and if the wastegate is plumbed back the high-mount will pass easily as well.

They're more concerned about height, suspension, oil leaks, noise, tint.

Make sure all of these are legal before you go anywhere near the pits.

yeah got the exhaust done on wednesday, it now has gate plumbed back, 2 mufflers, a cat and realllly quiet! even the bee*r limiter doesnt make any noise!

but lost quite a bit of performance. and it now sounds like a porshe lol.

ill tell them its all stock then.

but would the turbo / manifold need a engineer to look at it?

can you turn the idle up a bit maybe 1200? might seem a bit smoother just tell them youve been meaning to turn it back down but never got around to it. take it there warm and there is no way they will pick up any internal motor differences like forgies not that they would be illegal anyway

      Old Son, did you re-use the Holden ABS in the new shell or try a different module?

      Another little story of weird shit happening

      Yeah, nah. I had the actuator rod off it today. The arm will not move at all. Neither out, nor in. Yeah, you'd think so, but I've been thinking about that. Even when the actuator rod fell all the way off at the beginning of this saga, it would build more boost and faster in lower gears than it would in higher gears, and you'd think that that was the opposite of what should happen. But I strongly suspect that there is a thing with the gearing getting the revs to rise faster, that there must be some transient effect with the gas flow rate rising quickly, that you don't get with the more steady state case of the higher gears. Keep in mind - the gate is not shut in either of my weirdnesses. So things are not "normal". We normally think about a turbo spooling up (below the wastegate target) with the gate shut. I have all sorts of mental models running now where the gate is a little bit open, and having it stuck open allowing gas out while it should be going through the turbine has all sorts of weird effects (in these mental models). I'm thinking in the higher gears, the ex mani pressure builds to the point where enough gases spill out the wastegate to just prevent the pressure rising much more at all, or just creeping up, all the whole the revs are increasing and getting closer to the point where a gear shift becomes necessary.

      Is it possibly wastegate actuator itself is sticking, or even the rod to flapper? Otherwise I reckon things are getting a bit rusty/worn   Also odd it won't boost in 3rd to 5th, but will in 1st, I'd expect the other way around with it slightly open as there's more time on your way to redline for it to spin up

      Does anyone know ow what these two plugs are for and if they should be unplugged? Just put the dash back together and can't remember if these were plugged in before or unplugged! (Blue and white plugs) 🤦🏽‍♂️

      Looking for a part number for this part here

      Did some FASTing ...got the impression that the actual part# was a moot point ; seems all of these hardlines for coolant are discontinued/NLA... like, I take it you're after the hardline that bolts onto to the manifold...that's NLA according to amayama & nengun .... ...just to clear up some confusion, they typically mounted the AAC valve to the intake manifold somewhere near a coolant passage, so the body of the valve heats up & holds it open when engine's up to temp - no coolant flows through the valve, it's a mechanical, thermal connection.
