Hell yeah. When i drive this thing it brings a smile to my face which is why i built it. If it doesnt sound the way i want it to then its not right.

Flame on lol

Awww..... 'Yeahhhh, but race carrrr.. :blush: '

Damn i was gona go a HG next year but this thread is converting me.....aarghh right decision i hope.

Do it!!! i am, my car will be off the road for a good year to save the cash to do a turbo upgrade.

going to do it on the cheap side and hope things last and upgrade them as needed.

List so far is:

Ebay special high mount exhaust manifold.

Most likely T67 -25G turbo

44mm TIAL gate or turbosmart 38mm ultra gate

freddy inlet manifold ?? Maybe needed for highmount turbo

deatschwerks 1000cc injectors

E85 fuel as insurance on the stock engine.

everything else i have to run it but might sell the PFC and Z32AFM and buy a ECU with a MAP sensor

freddy plenum or any front facing plenum is not needed for high mount.

stick with 44mm tial gate as its proven already, no 38mm jobs so far but you never know, you may be the first to get it working and holding boost properly with the t67..

i wouldn't go ebay s/s high mount just yet, wait to see how long Jez's manifold lasts before jumping on ebay and getting one.

U dont need an inlet manifold, just shorten/ re-route ur pipes, someones done it on some thead, my shopping list for now:

Z32 -$150 and up

Siemens dekka 60lb top feed high impedance injectors-ebay only round $280, spacers and EV1 plug convertors separate

Turbosmart CompGate 40 - round $330

TD06SL2-20G 10cm kit - $750

Misc plumbing, gaskets, elbows, bits, pipes- $100..

Still comes out ok if u shop around and have a gud fabricator too..

But as of yet i can only sit n wish for another three months till i get my licence back from darlings NSW RTA..

38mm gate doesnt sound big enough? But then I dunno much about ext gate setups except that most r using 44mm so kinda surprised, as even trent said that 40mm is the min he will go

If you are running more boost you don't need it as big.

To whoevers interested, this is very cheap!

I have a tial wastegate for sale.. It is a 44mm and has a 1.1bar spring in it..

$280 posted anywhere in oz.. Cheers

Jez, what did you do with the turbo oil return? Did you use the standard rb25 one or did you use the one supplied in the kando kit?

If you are running more boost you don't need it as big.

Exactly.

So since i have a turbosmart t boost controller already and will be running say 22psi max, u guys r saying a 38mm gate will do?? Running Nistune btw

What is this? Turbo 101?

What about more boost implies a smaller gate will suffice? Remember that more boost will be more flow, more flow will mean it needs a gate that can flow it.

Just because running an undersized gate will overdrive the turbine and hold high boost while sucking at low boost doesnt mean its a good thing. Equally so running a bigger gate doesnt somehow suck at running lower boost, DOES IT? Don't be so feeble minded to think the extra flow will balance out with the added shaft speed needed for the boost, it aint that simple.

My gate cant bypass enough gas to hold steady boost. Oh yeah, duff man.

Get the f**king Tial MVR you tight asses, Im sure a $300 turbosmart progate is not genuine to begin with.

    • Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.
    • Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.
    • Thanks @Duncan Ride height is fine. I think it's almost stock tbh. Happy to share a pic. I don't actually have a regular mechanic as haven't lived in Sydney too long. Could you or anyone recommend any shops in Sydney?
    • 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
    • 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
