I was looking at going the way dori34 has and while the sceptisim I came across scared me away, I'm impressed! What are the thoughts on the limits that sort of setup would have?

dori34, how much clearance have you got to the tower and engine mount?

as DORI33 stated a few pages back, his maxed out at around 300rwkw on stock manifold

Lots of space mate (i assume you mean gate mount?), if you want the same thing done and in Sydney/NSW, send BSA a pm. im sure he can organise shipping as well if you're interstate.

wtf our bays look almost identical dori, down to the way ive cut the standard heatsheilds, the matt black charge pipe and intake. only exception is for your gate pipe angle and coil pack colour. fwark even my user name is the same as urs.

haha freaky aye, put up pics of your engine bay & dyno sheet for comparison.

if we test and VCT still won't work then i will just hope the anti-surge front cover will :D

ID of wastegate pipe off the manifold is 44mm

Dori are u sure its a 44mm? The pipe Blake cut off the other day was around 38mm from memory. Ill measure it this arv

not the screamer pipe, the pipe off the manifold.

pretty sure he said it was 44mm? Blake would be able to confirm this.

the pipe he cut off is in my car btw, not at your garage lol

How does your haul on the road with foot flat dude? Hows the 'punch-in-seat' or kick / torque rush?

Seems like more of a Boostcruising question the way its worded.... The Dyno graph and video show exactly what its like, bolt one on and find out :P

Poor little kids trying to be cool..

Don't think you could describe either of them as 'poor little kids', unless you were referring to yourself?

Seriously though dude, you keep asking the same question over and over, "how's the torque kick". You keep getting the same response. I think it has been well established now that these Kando turbos are fun, and the Hypergear turbos are fun. Stop talking about how you're going to get a Kando and just get the damn turbo, how many more people do you want to tell you that they are good? Commitment issues...

Yesterday I SMS brainstormed with Jez about my own car. As usual, Jez sent simple responses. IE Kool. Sounds Good. Are you sure? Etc. Typical essay like responses common of the Jez-i.

By process of voicing my options I was able to get a brief second opinion and weigh up my options, enabling me to make my own decision. By the afternoon I ordered and paid for my Snow Performance WMI kit.

No I did not quickly conjur up the idea, nor did it come from Jez or someone else. I found what options I wanted to consider, talked facts and figures (kw/$$) and made a decision.

Rondofj, buy yourself some dignity and click 'commit to buy' on the turbo you want. You have already: thought (hard to believe IMHO)/voiced/planned/gained feedback/decided. Now BE A MEN and spend the TIRTEE FOR FIFTEE.

I vote that if Ron does not buy a Kando by the end of the week, we should ban him. :action-smiley-069:

Omg here he goes again with his typical essays which sometimes turn to trash... seriously did you ever get belted as a kid..??:domokun:

If that were an essay, I'd give it a solid B+. Nice intro followed through into a well written body, finished off with a 'slap-in-the-face' conclusion to drive home his point, that's good stuff. Lost some marks for spelling and grammar at the end there though :P

Sorry, I had to match the authenticity of a Curry/Gook based joke.

This post is not a troll :ph34r:

Seriously some of your posts do sound like coming from some 25 year old freckle faced kid whose grandparents got thrown off a convict ship ! !

25 year old. Grandparents got thrown off a convict ship. Scott, were your grandparents around in the 18th century to be thrown off a convict ship? They must have had children late if you are only 25!?

Ooooo, personal. Lucky I'm a 25 year old ethnic with no freckles.

Maybe that freckle faced kid's Grandparents (read ancestors) got 'thrown off' somewhere around the Philippines and have some thing to do with why your the way you are. Didn't they tell you about great uncle Stuart the bread thief? Apparently they 'loved him long time' ago.

Seriously dude, try to see the positive in my criticism. Hurry up and buy the damn turbo.

    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked... HTH
    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily. 
    • Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
