How to turbo your N/A

[N-DAWG]

Oil pressure switch is to let you know when your oil is low

Behold, the fabled $100 (S)Exa, the missing cylinder is injector related, I can't hear a pulse and the loom seems shabby (loses another cylinder on moving) OK time for some TLC and boost!!!!

Hey Dan, how's Project EXA coming along?

[G0DZLR]

somehow that exa looks kinda tuff

anyone on here know the thread size of a T3 oil drain? RB25 turbo in other words, getting hole of some speedflow fittings with gates hoses to replace the radiator hose (yes im nervous too)

[G0DZLR]

have noticed lately that i seem to be getting a weird noise when i give it a slight kick in the guts. usually happens when im in 2nd, mate says it SOUNDS like pinging, i sorta had the same idea but im not sure.

[N-DAWG]

Have you had it tuned?

[G0DZLR]

nope, still on DE ECU....

[N-DAWG]

o_O Get that thing tuned man! get some sort of engine management happening for it to run properly you need your ignition timing and a/f ratios tuned right.

[G0DZLR]

yeah am still trying to get hold of a stock GTST ECU to start with. as i think i might have said before, i have noticed it to be running leaner, but your right i really should get it tuned anyway.

have got all my new speedflow bits on now just waiting on an airbox and SMIC.

not sure where i should take it to get tuned tho...i live 3 hours from melb

[N-DAWG]

Yeah sounds like your on the right track then Change coilpacks too while you're at it... i lost another one last night, haven't had the chance to get my splitfires in. I later lost another 1 or maybe 2? lucky i was 9kms from home RACQ towed it without it putting me outta pocket.. but save the headache and get them done too if you haven't.

is the R33 GTSt ECU remappable?

[J3TR33]

yep they are,

toshi can remap them, he done mine im very happy, myne doesnt ping now and all the hassle are gone,

he can also sell you one of his ecus, for around $600 for a remap and his ecu, or get a link/vipec, depends on future mods

[G0DZLR]

update on whats done:

intercooled finaly

new sparks

replaced a dud coilpack

no more spitting and carrying on....pulls much harder now will post up pics soon

..still on a DE ECU too

[N-DAWG]

has what you thought was pinging stopped now? if so maybe it was just the sparks/coilpacks.

Did you go with a SMIC or FMIC?

[G0DZLR]

yeah fixed the pinging a while back. retarded/advanced (cant remember) the timing 1 degree.

the sparks/packs fixed the spitting problem i was getting when it got hot and i wanted to put the foot down i went SMIC for stealth reasons, cant even tell its there. i can only imagine how much more it would pull with a fmic....

[G0DZLR]

UPDATE: pics!

first two show the engine bay (duh). hoping to eventually replace the blue silicon joiners with black ones and ditch the breather for the correct bit of pipe down to the turbo. also vacum lines are abit messy but should eventually sort em out....oh and do something about that BOV

exhaust is 2.5" catback. obviously the twin tips which i polished, keep attention from the boys in blue to a minimum

[dori34]

if its a cop who knows their sh*t, you'll get caught.

but to the untrained eye

good work tho, love all the shiet your doing trying to stealth everything!

LOL operation EXA ended prematurely yesterday when the oil pump let go on the M1, it manage to spray oil over the extractors and "fog" 2 lanes of the highway. Got many dissaproving looks from people, had they been smart they could have easily seen the smoke was billowing from the engine bay not the exhaust.

On zero oil pressure I managed to drive it straight to the wreckers and sold it to them

I gotta say looks very nice - quite a professional finish. Once you get rid of all the blue bits, should look even better.

hahaha nicely done! How much did you get for it? lol

Man that would have been a site! Was it during peak traffic? that would have been hilarious! lol Probably not for you though

Yeah about 7:30 so I was less than impressed...the thing that was more annoying was it waited until I was a good 15mins from home and doing 110kmh on the M1, I'd been driving it "sub 100" for weeks and had no dramas, so I thought it was good for a run to the coast. FAIL

[G0DZLR]

quick question; are R33 GTS and GTST AFMs different in anyway? i know theres a diff between S1 and S2s, but the new ECU is from an S1 and its idling real rough, like the A/F ratio isnt right...

basically have bought a GTST ECU to replace the standard GTS one in the hope of getting some more real performance out of it,mainly in the top end.

could it just be a matter of redoing the timing tho? or in need of a remaped ECU
