Who told you that?

A complete goose.

And hence, you never take the car back and see someone else!

Recently fit parts installed and had a retune. Much better than before,I think it was due to a crack in the intercooler piping before.

For 21psi with -5s... You are sorta missing 50rwkw still. You can go the usual dyno variance 10/15 here there whatever, but 50 is a bit.

Not if it's running 21psi, you have the airflow for the power.

You can tune around the AFM limit to a point from a WOT point of view, I had 340rwkw out of -9 using the stock MAF (but that's another can of worms not worth opening).

Somethin just does not make sense really.

Hope they don't ripsss you a new one, hey boiiii.

I would still suggest you learn what VCT is, whatever the engine you end up building.

i have a rb26 so i will use the head off of that . rob at rips is building my engine

Trent and I are both talking about VCT or CVVT on the 26 head, there are a few options available, including making it work yourself.

CVVT on my VQ25 is good for 800rpm better response, or the equivalent of running a VQ30. Incorporating it into a 26/30 would perhaps make the ultimate RB.

    • Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.
    • Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.
    • Thanks @Duncan Ride height is fine. I think it's almost stock tbh. Happy to share a pic. I don't actually have a regular mechanic as haven't lived in Sydney too long. Could you or anyone recommend any shops in Sydney?
    • You just need a different blue slip shop (preferably one you regularly use as a mechanic), and make sure the coil overs are as close as possible to standard height
    • yeah the sugar refining companies were pushing for the same in Oz originally, all fuels were going to have 10% ethanol to make them "cheaper" (noting, that the loss in l/100 might be greater than the decrease in price). I guess they won that fight in Canadia
