It was a good day, pretty happy with the 311rwkw :P just need to work out why when i turned the boost controller up the actual boost level went down :) Pretty sure im gonna have to go E85 some time soon as well :D

Yeah, major thanks to the Wests, who insisted the day go ahead, after the warning. The reason we had to close the door on the louder runs, is that if a second complaint was received, they could be issued with a on the spot fine of $60,000, which I can't believe a fine of that substance could be issued without evidence or proof of excessive noise, emissions etc.

Matt, I'll get in contact with Troy from Adelaide Tyrepower for you. Hit me up with a PM and send me your email address and I'll let you know how to redeem your prize!!

Daniel.

Ahh well at least they were decent about it and didn't decide to defect.

So props to the Sturt Police officers. :blink:

Its likely it was the few unit/houses across the road; one of the blokes has a really nice older ford from memory. Maybe he no likey the jap crap. :blink:

your joking?

ppl complained about noise,coming from a car workshop, on a saturday afternoon??

fck me, very sad.

This is Adelaide ... full of whingers! Whinge about the international airport noise, whinge about freeway traffic. Kinda obvious a performance workshop will have cars in it innit? :blink:

I can tell you now that the police couldn't really do dick. They'd be required to have an EPA rep come out to do the testing. Ambient vs omitted acoustic distrubance above the ambient noise of general traffic. Being on a main arterial road that'd be hard to prove. I think the complaint was more to do with so many imports and their owners in one place at the one time.

:blink:

for some stupid reason mine only made 66kw. Even last year made 85kw with a shocking missfire. No one new what was going on. Even ran in rwd for one and still the same. Strange.

    • GCG is a good company, they're a major distributor for Garrett in Japan as well.
    • Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣
    • I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
    • Ok thanks 🙂 I will higly consider this. Any "known" company for a good reviews and experience to send that off? Is that CJ-motor good one? Or go straight to GCG site? I need to use VPN to even find some of those "shops" let alone access them 🙂 
    • You can literally put in as much WMI as it takes to quench the combustion totally (and then back it off a little, obviously), and it will keep making more and more power. The power comes from the cooling effect of the water (and the meth) and the extra fuel (the meth, which also has massive octane). It is effectively exactly like running E85. One might be slightly better than the other, but they are damn close. But with either you can lean on the boost or the timing (or both) waaaay more than with just petrol and the results are similar. Here's the first thing I googled for an anecdotal bit of evidence. Can't access the attachment without being a gold member, but it is there for the getting if able to, or searched up elsewise perhaps. https://www.hpacademy.com/forum/general-tuning-discussion/show/wmi-vs-e85/
