yeah boi

thanks :) just let me know whenever is good for you. I need to take it from Stafford to Aspley. I have ratchet straps if needed

annnnnnnd - opinions on this? Would it be a good enough temporary solution/trouble shooter to make sure I'm holding boost ok? I really don't want to pay much for one because I just want it for a couple of comparisons. So basically... I don't need it to live very long, just need it to be somewhat accurate.

I has a mechanical boost guage in the ute if you want to borrow it for a bit. I need it back to put on the mower at some stage but :)

This afternoon works fine for me. What time are you thinking?

Would take you up on the offer if I knew how long I was going to be tooling around with it, don't want to wind up taking it out of the ute then not using it for 5 months and giving it back and needing it 2 months later lol. I want to get one so I can install it and test my boost for now. But down the track when I get my front mount I want to get the boost wound up a bit too, and just want it in there to check it holds boost alright after driving it around a bit. Also want to see what happens after I let Dan turn my blow off valve into a flutter valve, and (before Dan plays with it) compare it with my other blow off valve(Thanks again Ravi!!) to see if one builds boost faster... it seems to.

I should be home sometime around 4-4:30 ish. Assuming my housemate hasn't crimmed the XF, any time after that.

Furry Muff.

In that case, I'm sure that one you posted will be fine. It looks to be similar to the saber/autogauge ones, so Tas will give you sh*t because they aren't defi, but Tas is a brand wh*re. They should be reasonably accurate and will do the job.

As I said when you were here, just blank the f**ker off. If it f**ks your turbo, then you've got an excuse to upgrade :)

I've got a custom blanking plate made from quality billet steel with a high-temp ceramic coating you can use for a bit if you want. See the pics. Had it on mine for a while but got over it hahaha.

Well, just gimme a call or whatever and let me know the plan of attack :cool:

I don't like the Defi ones anyway. I think they're ricer and are made with 7% synthetics and 93% gay. So he can give me shit about NOT putting rice on my car, I don't mind :)

As I said when you were here, just blank the f**ker off. If it f**ks your turbo, then you've got an excuse to upgrade :wave:

And as I said. That's all well and good if you can afford to buy a new turbo when it shits itself :ninja: (plus I haven't the faintest idea how to change the thing, so I'd have to pay for that too)

Yeah true, I can't say I have money to do it either. But putting a direct replacement on looks pretty easy, I've seen all the tutorials and a friend has explained it for me and yeah, pretty easy.

But flutters = epic. Nuff said.

Having said that, best option is to not f**k the original one anyway hahahahaha you're right.

It won't wreck your turbo.

Changing turbos is easy

      I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.

      ECU sees many times the speed than speedo does (R34 swap)

      It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.

      I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
