Nice result Ant eater. So much for not running more than 20 psi hey ;).

How does it feel?

not sure yet Paulie

haven't had the chance to use those 600 ponies just yet

but QLD SAU drag day next weekend - I think I will open it up a little

they tried 30psi but them stock springs don't like it lol

Are u gonna change your springs ants.. After my last engine failure I'll never use stock or jap springs again

yeah, eventually I will mate

Your previous engine died because of the OEM springs?

Yea they were either oem or tomei mate. Can't remember exactly but they were soft and only pushing tomei cams

ended up breaking in 3 pieces and smashing itself into a forged piston, around 20,000 old so shouldn't have failed

what did you replace them with?

awesome result ants :)

call me soft but i dont drive mine on high boost which is 430kw at i think @ 25psi (i need another 044 pump run higher than e55 mixed blend & higher boost)

just take it easy mate - its a lot of power (fark im getting old)

Ferrea dual springs with locks and retainers., haven't actually started the engine yet but the builder reckons they re the best and the fitment of the components is excellent

sweet will look into that

thanks Marko

Having a really decent fuel system is key to the HP thats for sure

You only live once - boost that shit up Marko

Hi Joey, this is what I was taking about earlier about the UE springs ??

    • roof rail delete used to be a thing, they were made locally for a while too
    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
