Sounds like you have been listening to Scott a bit too much there Aaron!

nah i took my car there for a quote when i blew the turbo.

just for labour to take the turbo out, they quoted $2k. I got the turbo out and in for $700 with another mechanic.

I didnt even wanna know what they wouldve charged for the hiflow.

:( They did my turbo.

Removed/installed and organised AXT to rebuild mine (although a bit of consultation as to what I wanted would have been nice) for under $2k, but that was around 3 years ago

Aaah, if I knew then what I know now.....

2K.. nice... i cant remember how much mine cost. im pretty sure more coz of the BB conversion.

yeh i got ATP to do mine. Kyp hiflowed n converted it to Ball Bearing he is a bit of a screw loose but hes on the ball n explains everything in full.

Yeah, Kyp is definitely a character. "BB Conversion"? Since the stockie is BB I am a bit lost on how it is "converted" to BB...

Local? Depends what you call local. To interstaters I would be :down: I am about 40-45mins SE from you (Nyora), but I'll be up that way tonight briefly.

Trouble is, most of the other U.S. package services are highway robbery to use...

      Blue slip

      By Duncan · Posted

      You just need a different blue slip shop (preferably one you regularly use as a mechanic), and make sure the coil overs are as close as possible to standard height

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By Duncan · Posted

      yeah the sugar refining companies were pushing for the same in Oz originally, all fuels were going to have 10% ethanol to make them "cheaper" (noting, that the loss in l/100 might be greater than the decrease in price). I guess they won that fight in Canadia

      Another "where do these lines and plugs go" RB25DET question

      By thatjawncrazy · Posted

      GTSboy, thank you again. i’ve been reading all the other SAU RB25 vacuum line threads and you have the utmost patience for people asking “where do my vacuum lines go”. it’s appreciated. i did also enlist a few other RB guys local to me.  i would like to run 5 to 4. turbo pressure side to wastegate actuator. i would like to run 3 to 1. power steering air valve line to intercooler outlet. (this is how it was previously). i was told 2 is the bleed port for the boost solenoid - which i’m not running - so should be capped.   anyone see any problems with that?

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      So yes. All of them. Something like 98% of all fuel in the USA has 10% ethanol: https://afdc.energy.gov/fuels/ethanol-fuel-basics It's labelled as like, AKI, 87, 91, 93 with an E10 or E5 or E15 label on the pump. At a certain point, it's not just "E10" instead of 91. It is 91, 95, 98, and all of them have 10% Ethanol in them. You can also get E85 and E30 which is why you do see some people rolling around with E30 tunes in them.

      Thanks for the response. This is an 04 EP3 Type R. JDM spec. Fairly certain they're just basic BC racing coils. I do plan to keep as the ride quality on stock I've been told is pretty meh given Sydney roads. If I were to go down that avenue, does NSW require them to be a certain spec (close to original) etc?
