Hey, we're back :D

Sarp Mangs, hope you all had a good newtonmas n shit.

Took a detour on the way home yesterday to avoid highway traffic and ended up lost in a forest near woodford on dirt tracks. Good times, 31 is a mud slut and she loved it.

RE: Tavern night, yeah I'd hit it.

Whats on for new years?

Edited by Smity42

Morning mangs! - Feels good to say that again hahaha

Christmas was meh. Grandma passed away the night of the 23rd. So bit of a sucky time around here at the moment.

NYE = don't care in the slightest. I hate new years, it's so overrated, I've had one good new years which is better than all the other ones put together. I'll have to do something -reasonably- good with the missus though considering we've been together 3ish months... I'm running out of time to figure that one out though. Thinking about going somewhere nice... dunno any more than that! Any suggestions?

Sarp mangs. Christmas was good n yeah still no plans for new years. Keen for tavern night. Oh yeah the 31 is gone. Replaced by a GPZ250 just need to sort out a license now :-)

aloha. Christmas was ok. we spent it a Buderim Tavern and spent the rest of xmas day and boxing day in Mooloolaba. Too much rain.

On another note, I'm looking for an N/A 34 sedan. Anyone know of a decent import car yard? I've also been looking importing one, as they all seem over priced locally.

Due to the P plate laws, I think their asking price may have even increased in recent times.

Morning Mangs,

Cricket. LOL.

Anyone want to come for a scouting run for a 31 club cruise I am organising, assuming we get some sunlight over the next week or so?

For that matter I need a nav for the cruise. 16th Jan. Anyone?

sau up again. i thought there was something wrong with my server.

That's what she said.

got some vouchers again, they have changed the deal tho...

second meal is $5 now, not free :(

still great value tho :)

That's what she said.

Get a 31.

Hahahaha I like that you approved Colin ditching the 31... yet tell Scott to get one

When are you wanting to do your scouting run?

My turbo sounds like it's about 10 seconds away from converting itself into lots of tiny pieces of shrapnel :(

Anyone know how much i'd be up for to get it high flowed?

Edited by Smity42

i think it's $700ish to get a highflow. Don't quote me on that though was like 3 years ago the last time I checked. I'll do a scouting run whenever. I'm back in work on the 4th though and I'm going to wet n wild tomorrow. I can be nav aswell if it is a 31 only cruise.

Sorted out the shed with mum n dad today. Threw away most of the shit I pulled off the 31, I didn't realise how much shit I hoarded for it in the year I had it lol. Anyone decided what's going on for new years? If nobody else has anything on I'll probably just go home n bring in the new year with the family. If anyone is keen you're welcome out in the boomba.

yep. You basically have 2 options.

GCG highflow and the Hypergear highflow.

GCG have changed their website and the specs of the turbo. Bottom line is it's a 100%-bolt-on-no-mods highflow. They use genuine Garrett CHRA's as they are authorised Garrett dealers. The catch is they cost $1955. They quote 240-250rwkw is achievable.

Hypergear have different options for their RB series 'bolt on'. 360, 430, 450, 480 and 500HP options. Prices range from $800 through to $1200 +GST. Catch is they don't use garrett cores, so you'll need to fit one of their oil feed lines that cost $80.

They are use non ball bearing CHRA's, but this can be a blessing in disguise. Plain bearing/journal bearing turbos with 360 degree thrust bearings can handle higher shaft speeds (read; more boost) for long periods of time.

The difference between non-BB cores and BB-cores in regards to lag on highflows is negligible as larger wheels with different trims will dictate boost response. Stick a TO4E comp wheel with a 'Stage3' T3 exhaust wheel (commonly known as a Sierra Cosworth rear wheel) with a BB core and non-BB core and the difference is only a couple hundred RPM.

Well know I'm off the beaten track, Here are the websites for both.

GCG Highflow

Hypergear Highflow

GCG highflows can be picked up for anything from $1100-$1600 second hand. I bought mine for $1600 about 3 years ago.

Hypergear items tend to sell for $600+ second hand.

WooT!

I dunno. I was down at Auto Import Centre and the guys there said they've had a hell of a time selling them. There is one there I'm looking at that's $15k. I asked what he thought it would go for and he said $10k. Still trying to convince Nat to let her SP20 go. Once that's done and i'll go in there offering $9K cash. lol

Anyone got some coin for me to borrow???

Morning Mangs,

Cricket. LOL.

That is all

Hahahaha I like that you approved Colin ditching the 31... yet tell Scott to get one

One eyed Dirty-hwan owner........

Will probably go for the Hypergear highflow cause it's cheap ;-)

Hmmm $800 + $80 + optional high pressure actuator (what pressure?) + $30 shipping...

That sounds pretty nice. What kinds of pressures do they generally run through high flows? They steel-wheel them don't they?

Sorry to hear this. Sorry I just skimmed this morning.....

All good mang

whenever really, as long as it isn't raining.

next few days are shit, funeral & woodford folkie for new years... sometime maybe the week before your proposed run i could be down

My turbo sounds like it's about 10 seconds away from converting itself into lots of tiny pieces of shrapnel :(

This sucks. What turbo is on there at the moment? And what did you do to it!! lol

    • 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. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
