Ahoy-hoy

After seeing Adrian and Erins avatar, I think all of the QLD section should upload their very own Harrow councillor for the rest of the week...they're just gold!

just a quick question, why do all the seppos say torni-ket as opposed to torni-kay? (Torniquet) Hell the chick in evanescence even butchers it more. Sounds like turnih-ket which isn't even close.

 

 Chris.... I'm looking in your direction.

funny you should mention that as I have been watching a doco on the Abc for the last 5 weeks called "Lost Worlds" and it has been about the formation of the English language.

Did you know that when the Pilgrim fathers in America in 1620 they took great efforts to maintain the purity of the language they spoke. They borrowed relatively little from the natives, and the regional accents of the early settlers blended t

Later, Scots and the Irish added their influence. As English spread across the North American continent, it also started to move away from the language spoken in England.

At the end of the 18th century and in the early 19th century Noah Webster's Book of American Spelling standardised spelling across the United States. As settlers went west, new words and phrases developed, while African slaves introduced elements of their own native languages into the vernacular.

However I am sure I have heard Americans pronounce tourniquet correctly and if it is being mispronounced you can't rule out that the speaker is just poorly educated.

    • Oh, also, forgot to add these photos I believe.
    • Thought i'd update on this. I was able to get in contact with Craig Lieberman and later on Darryl Alison (owner of Kaizo Industries). Darryl was able to help me verify that my car was in fact one of theirs and is helping me find more info on mine !
    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
