turbo back exhaust

safc or new comp

fmic

Bah... If it was me I would do:

3" Front/Dump + 3" Cat (10-15rwkw)

Cover your Pod in a box with a cold air feed (keeps things cooool)

Pineapples (rear cradle bushes for HEAPS better traction)

Ex Cam Gear

Lightened Flywheel

= i dunno about $1900

No point getting an aftermarket ECU yet because you still have heaps of bolt-on mods to do that will benefit from being tuned by a better ECU.

I think you need to spend an hour and read over these 2 threads:

You don't need big turbo's, aftermarket ecu's etc to make good power and speed. You just need the right combination and also need to know how to drive the thing.

Fane,

If you get a boost gauge I can help you put it in, just ask gary the top job i done on his (hehehe! my bad!)

But not this weekend :rolleyes:

Autometer from SupaCheap ought to do, but there may be a prob sourcing a t-piece adaptor thinggy (hard to explain)

I got a Marlows one, about $50 all up, works fine :)

Fane, I told you to come to the Skill Swapping day, I already promised Angel she could have it there, as she put in an offer first, sorry:( I think the Pineapples cost me $120, so there yours for the same price.

Kym, Your car is much better now:D and your flames are wicked

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
