arhhh ok vspec i was at the skill swap day but i was in madora where it was supposed to be.... oh well sht happens...

update on the cutting im getting in cold weather it must be a boost cut because it is exactly the same as when i hit about 190km and it speed cuts...(not that i have been that fast on a sealed road)

Yes, Boost cut sounds/feels like speed cut :)

RSMs get rid of Speed Cut and are the ultimate Rice accessory :) Not that you need the speed cut on public roads :)

I get boost cut at around 13psi :( But if you keep it to 10psi you shouldn't have any problems :)

Speaking of Bang for Buck Upgrades...

has anyone just bought a longer core for the Stock IC End tanks and welded them up ?

Would be an interesting experiment... just to increase the length, not the height...

Calculatin pressure drop would be another story all together..

1) Pineapples $100

(Minimise the wheel spin)

2) 4.8kg flywheel $700

(rev your engine faster taking less time to accellerate and build boost).

3) HKS exhaust cam gear $200

(bring the boost on 500rpm earlier and get a few extra hp over the rev range).

4) Thermal wrap $100.

(wrap the dump pipe to the cat and also the trubo to intercooler pipe, to increase the gas velocity (spool turbo quicker/earlier and reduce underbonet temps).

5)Turbo Dump ,front and decat pipe $400.

6) S-AFC II, $500

vspec: i'll try and get brand from dan (the guy that put it in) you can tell me whether its any good... :rofl:

rev: thanks for the suggestions, mate, those mods sound awesome and make sense....the lightened flywheel sounds the best...ideas on where to get it done?? xspeed?? how many rwhp u reckon after all that work at about 10psi.....rev?

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
