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.

    • Block bump. $400. As above cyl 6 needs bore or sleeve.
    • I would think making the argument that the travel is limited by a spring flexing against a spring perch as "the same method". Later on in the document they do state that the spring can't bind on full bump travel and cannot come loose in full rebound travel as well. (which is all very sensible). The laws are actually pretty sensible and reasonable. It's just that the people who enforce and check them don't actually read them or know them accurately. "Oh, coilovers? Instant fail mate. Don't even need to look at it." - Guy who will be instantly reported by me. There is probably merit to people who do get defected for height also get defected for the suspension in that state that allows it. I did never consider the people who are complaining about coilovers being picked on are also running around at 50mm off the floor.
    • I think given SAU's knowledge of E85 we can strongly conclude that 10% ethanol in almost any situation is entirely fine. Almost all of the myths against E85 were overblown, let alone E10.
    • From your link See bold text, is this referring to damper settings, if so that may a issue for "some" inspectors, I cannot see aftermarket coilovers having the evidence that "must be available that its functional performance is equivalent to the original" Maybe just remove the adjustment knows and hope for the best???? Meh 5.2 Suspension travel In all instances, modifications to a vehicle’s suspension must ensure the integrity of the system and not compromise the ride quality. At least two thirds of the original suspension travel should be maintained in both directions (rebound (i.e. extension) and bump (i.e. compression)), and rebound must be limited by the same method used by the vehicle manufacturer or if this is not practicable due to the nature of the modification, an equivalent method. If an alternative method is used, evidence must be available that its functional performance is equivalent to the original.
    • They actually don't - They adhere to VSB14 rules just like Victoria. The rules are against CABIN adjustable height, and it quite clearly states that the height has to be within parameters. I asked the VASS engineer to confirm this when I got my car engineered and they refused to engineer the coilovers because they didn't meet the requirements for requiring engineering. (mine are height adjustable.) People "Not wanting to bother" with "Actually reading/knowing/adhering to the rules" should result in fines and immediately losing the ability to issue blue slips and/or RWC's in Vic.
