The RX has HEAPS of street cred Dean, it's got MY02 17's, VIP tint, green wiper blades & a BoostWorx sticker on the back :rolleyes: Makes the odd person think twice..... "Hmmm... is that a turbo Subie?" :P I need to update my info though, 'cause it's no longer in the garage :P It's now all hers, & it went with her.

The Sigma is now the back up cruise mobile, 2.6L big block 4cyl :P

daim are things that bad..... Shit matt, hope in the end u r happy cos thats all that matters.

Well if u think u have the stuff to challenge me, lets get it on. Next sat nite, illegal drags... dont underestimate my xl, ill be puttin extra stickers on it to get me across the line faster...

Thanks for the kind words Dean. Yeah I'm doing the single thing mate, but to be honest it's not that bad :P I've got a few things in the pipeline that are keeping me happy.

Ohhh shite, extra stickers! That's a bit unfair dude :rolleyes: Looks like I might need to buy a few NOS stickers to even things out.

hey matt ... dont' worry man ... you got a skyline .. now u can use it for its real purpose :rolleyes: ... chicks love it man ... especially when u press the accelerator a little ... hahahaha and rock hard suspension ... makes them go all jiggly hahahaa :P

Lads n Chicks I wont be making it to dyno day at all now unfortunately. My boss dropped a gate (what a fag) on his foot and broke his big toe and it's only him and I at the butcher so Ill be running the show for the next 3 weeks, including this freakn saturday :D ... Im pretty keen 2 c how little power it makes.

hahaha ... great idea steve :D .... what time u finish at the butchers?? 5 ?? maybe u can pop down if the dyno is still going?? should be a great opportunity for boost worx to get some new customers :) even if he opens a bit longer and we just post a few messages on other boards and people can just come have a look ... although ... steve u better warn the guys at boost worx to lock things up ... remember what happened to rpm the last time they had a dyno day??

Will there be time for me to Adjust my boost controller there rather than on the road?? This will give me a good chance to get a reading on high and low boost while the car is stock

Tim,

Sorry to hear you can't make it dude :) If you're REALLY keen to see how much grunt it has (& you don't need it for the day) you could always get someone else to take it down? Just a suggestion.

Matt,

Unless there's a massive turn out I don't see it being a prob' for you to set boost on the dyno. I'll be getting Shaun to double check my boost level before we get stuck into it. Have you got an EBC that needs a fair bit of setting up time? If so it might be more of an issue?

Dammit timmayy, i was gonna use that excuse not to come.

Haha nahh tis all goot, i got they day off a while ago so ill be there with bells on.

Stevey: We still gonna have a bbq. Ill be happy to front up some cost for snags as long as i get gold coin donation.

I should break even in the end. What u think mate?

    • GCG is a good company, they're a major distributor for Garrett in Japan as well.
    • Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣
    • I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
    • Ok thanks 🙂 I will higly consider this. Any "known" company for a good reviews and experience to send that off? Is that CJ-motor good one? Or go straight to GCG site? I need to use VPN to even find some of those "shops" let alone access them 🙂 
    • You can literally put in as much WMI as it takes to quench the combustion totally (and then back it off a little, obviously), and it will keep making more and more power. The power comes from the cooling effect of the water (and the meth) and the extra fuel (the meth, which also has massive octane). It is effectively exactly like running E85. One might be slightly better than the other, but they are damn close. But with either you can lean on the boost or the timing (or both) waaaay more than with just petrol and the results are similar. Here's the first thing I googled for an anecdotal bit of evidence. Can't access the attachment without being a gold member, but it is there for the getting if able to, or searched up elsewise perhaps. https://www.hpacademy.com/forum/general-tuning-discussion/show/wmi-vs-e85/
