hippy

dont underestimate the autos. im very pleased with mine.

i run 10psi with pod, cold air ind, full 3'' exhaust, and stock turbo+cooler.

mine was running brilliant with stock exhaust and other above mods, but as soon as i put the exhaust on i found it was dumping way to much fuel so i need to buy a safc to still run boost that high.

u guys got non stock turbs and fmic?? how much power?? i think my car would have about 130rwkw ... i've got a full exhaust, pod, and bleeder at about 10psi or so ... how did u guys get it to boost over 12 psi ... i get the feul cut if i go over that ... i got a safc in there but its untuned ... i think the car is really slow ;)

knore so yours is a Auto? how is it holding up?

Shes holding up in the shed at the moment, little too fast i guess :headspin:

Will be coming out better than ever though, got new 400r front bar, ordering Either Jun or Veilside rear bar

bought 2 sets of sideskirts .. Trail/Xtreme so i can choose hehe

picked up an SAFC2 .. brand new.. ofcourse

in the next few weeks im getting AVCR, Hybrid monster IC, Dump Pipe and probably a higher flow cat

so once all is on and safc tuned.. will be looking forward to a willowbank meet!

2rite on dont underestimate the auto, do the RIGHT things and youll beat a manual of same mods, i was shitty with mine untill i drove both properly and wreaked the benefits of never loosing boost and changing quicker than any human in more of a gear flow than a gear change

like i said tho, dont go out thinking youve got a drag shifter etc

spend the money on the rite things and you will shock some people

How much timing you running? Ever had it checked? My stock auto was very slow and sluggish so I tried bumping up the timing a tad and it made a world of difference, not just in the feel but measurable difference (eg dropping .9 off my 0-100, probably a clean second off if I bothered to launch abit harder). Thats quite a difference... and took less than 5 minutes... or about 15 minutes if I bothered to do it right with a HT lead between the 1st coil and used a timing light...

    • Starter motors used to use the weight of metal (magnets) to provide torque. Now they use (more) current instead. This. It's completely normal.
    • So thing that had me stumped, but I think is OK....is that when it was up in the air, in neutral I had it running to bleed to coolant while I put the wheels back on. I noticed the rears were turning (slowly) which I'd never seen before 20250928_163512.mp4     Because there had been an issue with clutch slip due to pedal adjustment on the dyno, I assumed there was still and issue so spent some quality time upside down under the dash adjusting the pedal....but no matter what I did the wheels still turned in neutral. Even disconnected the master cylinder to pedal rod and same. In despair, I even removed the clutch slave so there was no chance of any preload causing it.....still happened. So either: 1. Something is not right in the bellhousing, or 2. Its a thing sometimes with cold, thick gearbox oil Internet says it might be 2, I hope so!
    • OK, few more things sorted and it is ready for a shakedown on 10-Oct, with one weird thing. Changed the run in oil and filter for the good stuff. 8l came out, about 8.5 went in with filter so that looks all good. Changed the starter (again), this time for a brand new one, works good. Interesting that the Taaaarks one is shorter than factory but spins harder, I guess electronics have moved on a little in the last 30 years. Will be nice to have a bit of extra space under there. Put the timing cover back on, and noted where the cam gears were set as a record.  Will need to double check the timing but it is pretty close. Also put the coil pack cover and intake snorkel back on. Exhaust Inlet Changed the water out for coolant, bled up nicely. Removed the rear brake pads (well worn factory sumitomo ones!), gave the hardware a good clean and reassembled. I've put bendix XP on the back again because the price is excellent at $150 a set and they worked well on the V37. Front pads have plenty so no issue there
