I'll do the turbo swap tomorrow.

Oh the joys!...

Tempted to fly Yavus up here and rent a dyno! ;D

Good luck mate.

Call him and ask but I don't think he will unless it's $$$$$ on the table.

Drive it down, weekend with the "crew", tune and drive home ;)

I finally swapped out my turbos after contemplating for a year, yes it was a lot of fun but as long as you have a methodical approach it really ain't that bad (with the right tools, that kinchrome stubby ratchet set is a live saver)

Yeah that was the more likely thing I was gonna do. Drive down to Syd for a tune and say hi :)

Hi Sean, long time

If your gonna throw it on the dyno how about trying to dial 8 deg retard into exhaust cam and see if that helps

Yeah it's been a while eh! :)

Gonna go stock cams so, the usual settings on those ;), was happier with stock for street.

Yep love the stubby kingchromes!

The old, "bigger ain't always better".

Love it :D

You think I would of learned the first time...

Yeah love the stock cams down low. Easy to pull over double factory power from them too.

Maybe a 250 poncam would be a happy medium. Not much more duration, but a decent whack of lift.... Or go the whole hog, relieve the head and run some high light, low duration cams.

Personally, I'd like to do a back to back with a 250ish with 11 mm plus cam vs my ones. All R&D :(.

I'm looking at getting a set custom made around there

    • That's some good input mate. Nice.
    • So today I went well outside my comfort zone (again) to replace my valve cover gasket.  I have had a big leak over the exhaust leading to a lot of smoke and smell every time I drove it. The leak was in the rear driver's corner.  The job wasn't hard as such, just a bit finicky and time consuming.  The old gasket was rock hard and broken right where the leak was.  The leaky corner had so much sitting oil in it.  The good news to my amateur eyes was no buildup or sludge under the cover. It all looked fairly nice in there.   I haven't started it yet. I ran out of light and body when putting the coils and injector loom back in. Probs only 30min left for the morning.  I was so nervous putting the cover back on, I must have lifted it 5 times to make sure the gasket was still seated properly. God it's going to be nice to be leak free and not make other traffic light queuers think my car is about to explode.
    • Gave the Mazda it's first wash, it will need some clay, a light compound, and polish polish to remove a few swirl marks, but that will be a job for when I have a full day to get my DA polisher action on
    • Just did this job on my 32 with the boost doc kit. was quite simple to fit, hardest part was getting the rubber bungs back on the firewall. does anyone know how the heater will work now without the flap in the bend? Will I just have a heater on 24/7 now?
