You mean most of the time with the factory piping you will not have the issue.

Hearing it vs actually having it - are distinctly different in my opinion :P

It's well known that hard piping kits can cause the comp surge (using 2530's/garrett -5s) as the factory ribbed piping actually flexes a bit which can stop the problem from occuring at all.

There is lots to be said for some OEM stuff - and the intake piping is one of those such items.

And yes i understand factory piping doesnt look good etc, but it most certainly serves a clear purpose.

Yes Ash, and another bad thing about aftermarket piping is that it is one extra thing that the cops will pick on you for.

mmmmm elaorate...............

I would but it would point out my utter stupudity (see I'm not afraid to tell the world I f^$ked up)

Oh well I will then

Built motor, -5's, tuned by a mob which I thought new what they were doing, ingnored the compression surge (which the tuner pointed out as well), ignored the PFC flashing the exhaust light.....bang, crack on bore 5.

No I am NOT saying that compression surge was THE casue of the problem, but I am sure it did not help things overall.

Lets get back on topic now. ;)

Hang on... compressor surge was the reason given for your motor splitting a bore?

:P

You said it did not help things... it had nothing to do with you splitting a bore.

That was poor motor assembly, nothing more. Comp surge had zero to do with it, i don't even know why you'd mention it in the same sentence.

Same sentence or not, I was merely replying to a request from the topic starter to elaborate.

It was in the same sentence but it was not a cause of the motor failing. It was merely just another separate issue that I did not bother to fix.

Is that more accurate? Is everyone happy now? :P

      WGNC34 - floor mats

      By Marek · Posted

      Hi 🙋‍♂️. Just bought my Unicorn but the interior need some minor work so it would match my expectations ;). I noticed it is hard to get used oem floor mats in good condition so i started to dig if there's any chance to buy set of new ones. I found two websites - nengun and amayama and it looks like one can still buy factory new floor mats in Japan, but thers a small issue. Some mats (i assume genuine, oem ones) are marked as G4900 and these are "discontinued". The ones you can buy are marked as G4911 but i have no idea if these are also oem, made by other producer or some lower quality replacements that looks entirely different. Can anyone help? 😃  P.s. there is also some strange indication - 0V005, 0V015 and 0V505. Any idea what does it mean? Would appreciate any help with this 🙏

      Version 1 aluminium airbox is.......not acceptable No pics as I "didn't like the look.....alot" Even after all my "CAD", and measurements, the leg near the fusebox just didn't sit right as it ended up about 10mm long and made the angle of the dangle look wrong, the height was a little short as well, meh, I wasn't that confident that Version 1 was going to be an instant winner I might give Version 2 another go, there's plenty of aluminium at work, but, after having in on and off a few times, and laying in the old OEM airbox without the new pod filter and MAF, there may be an option to modify the OEM air box and still use the Autoexe front cover and filter.... maybe This >  Needs to fit in here, but using the panel, and not the pod, the MAF will need to fit in the airbox though> I'm thinking as the old OEM box and Autoexe cover that is sitting in the shed is just sitting around doing nothing, and they are relatively abundant and cheap to replace if I mess it up and need another, it may well fit with some modifications to how the Autoexe brackets mounts to the rad support, and some dremiling to move it get in there, should give me some more room for activities, as I don't want to move the MAF and affect the tune Sealing the hole it requires to stick it in the air box is simple, a tight fit and some pinch weld will seal it up tight  I am calling this a later problem though

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      and it ends up being already priced in as though you're just on 91RON without any ethanol. Car will lose a bit of economy as the short and long term fuel trims bring down the AFR back to stoich or whatever it is for cruise/idle for the engine.

      Oh, you are right. But, in Australia E10 is based on 91RON fuel and ends up being 94RON. Hence it being the cheaper option for economy cars. The more performance oriented cars go for the 98RON fuel that has no ethanol mixed in. The only step up we have left then at some petrol stations is E85.
