no, turbo will be from Hypergear (TR43 - G2 trim) thinking an intake manifold/fuel rail from CPC and ecu from nistune. Rest of the setup is what i got lying around, intercooler piping will need to be sent out and made. I'll make my exhaust myself

True. I might ebay spec mine if I get the urge later on.

What pisses me off is that Jessica Watson chick, why do I have to pay my good hard earned money for her welcoming party? Imagine how many police, security guards, portaloos, etc were hired for the event. I'm going to work out how much it personally will cost me and withhold it.

But right now I have Becks and the people at liquorland must have left it in the sun for too long, it tastes flat -_-

Everyone is getting upset over this Jessica Watson chick I don't get it? I think it's pretty awesome what she did props to her. I only found out today who she was lol I was hoping it would be Emma Watsons hot younger sister but apparently not.

Fail

Anyone have any advice for getting seized bolts off calipers/wheel hubs? I've used every f**king socket and breaker bar I have + gone and bought new shit and still can't get the f**kers off... used heaps of the degreasing shit that has worked for me before, it gets in and breaks up the gunk. But not on either of these 2 bolts on my LF brake caliper. Gonna stab a kitten soon if I can't get it off.

Orrrrrr anyone wanna lend me a compressor + air tool kit? :):(

I'd use a hammer tbh. Big one.

Hmmmm it's crazy, I've used hammers on spanners/sockets/breaker bars.

I've tried the old jump up and down relentlessly on breaker bar. All that did was move the car, even with the wheels chocked and handbrake blah blah blah.

My best looking option other than a rattle gun is to get another caliper from a wrecker, and angle grind the bolt/caliper off lol. But I'm not terribly confident that it would work 100%, and I'm not sure I wanna risk damaging other parts in there (the disc etc)

You show me you ring spanner I'll show you mine :(

You sly dog, you know you don't have to ask :)

ravi i have air tools and cordless rattle gun

Dannnnnnnnnn that would be well sick if you'd wanna help a brother out... It seems you're the go-to guy for everyone hahahaha. How does the cordless rattle gun work? Is it essentially a cordless drill? Cause it would wanna have a whole shitload of torque behind it to get these f**kers undone...

Hahahaha hollllllly shit.

The wheel hub is 30mm, I have the socket for that on a ...... 1/2" connector I think.

The caliper is around about...14mm or something... I've got the socket as well on a 1/4" connector.

Is that of any use to you?

i'll have to bring my selection of sockets. Most likely will destroy standard sockets with this tool. PM your number. tomorrow arvo ok with you to do this? i'll be there around 5pm or so.

That rattle gun has nothing on my air powered one. It has a little over double that power

Hahahaha jesus titty f**king christ...... I WANT THAT POWER

*that's what she said?*

Yeah sick I'll send you my number... I'm gonna go have another stab at it now and just see what happens

Yesssssss! Got the left front caliper off! Hahaha so that's one thing off the list.

Still need to replace both rear drum brakes and the stud on the front right... then it's everything I need to do.

Is there anything special about taking the hub off? Have a look at the pic, just socket on and rotate to undo? Or is there some kind of cap there that needs to come off first? I can't tell?

Dumb question - how does it remove? Pry the squashed bit up with a screw driver.... then what?

bring the two "split ends" together with screwdriver/pliers whatever (so it's straight again), then pull it out from the non split end

    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack.
