Hoping for a extra power everywhere above 4000rpm and maybe a tad extra down low :)

Do you have access to a data logger for before runs? If you want I can send over a simple GPS logger so you can map gs and speed so that you can get a feel for in gear acceleration and response. Something a dyno wont pick up

I have read a few people say that Nistune are decent enough but have their limitations. Is there a performance reason behind the change to Vipec from Nistune or just a question of more functionality?

I'm waiting on battery to see how he goes with the billet love... but it may be an option down the road!

Or see the difference a better flowing turbine will make :whistling:

I have trackaroo that tracks speed via gps but I find that the 1hz GPS updating of the phone is a bit of a fail so even if there was a difference you wouldn't be able to tell... Regardless I doubt seat of pants feel will change much, it'll go from shitting yourself to still shitting yourself haha

I'll try and get back down the 1/4 for the black top dyno run but I have faith the hubber should show the differences.

There is nothing at all wrong with the Nistune, it's more getting itchy feet. I would prefer the AFM gone as it's the last link in the blown cooler pipe chain saga. The addition of heaps more funcitons (proper VCT control, boost control and many other functions) is what tipped it over the edge. But mainly just ditching the AFM :)

I would love to give the bigger turbine wheel a go... The reason I gave up on the idea is because I knew that even if the result was better, I would still have to change back to the original turbo and just way too much effort (I'm lazy)

Completely understand. I just need an oil pump and somewhere that will do reasonably priced inlet flanges and I could find out about turbos myself soon enough :)

Re data logger. I have a little QStarz 10hz logger for when I am in hire cars and other peoples cars that if you think it will give acceleration etc you can borrow

Where did you get it from? I've been looking but can't find one jew cheap :)

Been looking at simonR32's pic's & I know centre mounting flange is different but housing size?

Is mine a 10 cm rear, as no marking's on housing?

I got mine from racerecall.com . It does the job, but I don't think it is as good as a Driftbox etc but then again is cheaper so performs the basic job I ask of it.

Whats the idea behind logging hire cars?

Well when you are hiring them and flogging them around the track when you are on holidays :) LOL, that how I know what a Swift can do around the combined GP Circuit-Nordschleife etc etc :)

My rear housing is v-band to the centre cartridge while yours is bolted.... I think that is the difference! Looks like that is the difference between 8cm and 10cm by browsing ebay. What did you order?

Looks like you're almost ready for a tune?

    • The incentives are mostly the same, yes. Ethanol is cheap compared to the cost of doing 98-100 RON with crude oil alone. 87 to 93-94 AKI all with E10. In 2020 Canada mandated E10 as a part of their "renewable fuel standard" and is supposedly going to go to E15 in 2030. In California where there are only 8 refineries with two threatening to shut down next year it's been over 20 years now of E10 and 91 AKI maximum because there's just not enough refinery capacity or crude oil supply relative to the demand for premium unleaded fuel. And CARB's low carbon fuel standard means functionally none of the diesel available at the pump is made from crude oil anymore. It's almost all entirely 20% biodiesel blended with 80% renewable diesel (hydrotreated vegetable oil) now. The number of gasoline vehicles that support E15 or higher ethanol concentrations is surprisingly low, I can't imagine it being wise to play tricks like this without flex fuel sensors in most of the fleet.
    • It's almost certainly the same as the one next to it.

    • South Australia, which is hardly as far behind as the rest pf Oz makes out, and who is also not a paragon of progressiveness (read that as over-legislation) in the area of vehicle standards, has this to say on the subject: Adjustable coil-over suspension Aftermarket adjustable coil-over suspension components are suspension units that incorporate an external thread on the main body and corresponding threaded spring saddle that allows the vehicle's suspension height to be varied. If fitting aftermarket or coil-over suspension components you must submit an Application to modify a light motor vehicle form and a report from a light vehicle engineering signatory (LVES).
    • Hi all, Long time since I've posted here. Looking for some advice on what I can remove to further identify the cause of my issues.  I can move the passenger seat forward and back but the knob used to adjust the seat angle is pretty much free spinning, there's very little resistance.  Removing the side cover I can see that the chain is intact but the shaft for the adjustment spins without the gear attached to it moving.  What's my next step for disassembly here? Is this a common fault? Just being a little cautious as I didn't want to start removing bolts for a spring to fly out or something equally as stupid.  Cheers
    • Those above shitboxes, mediocre and above usually have a turbo strapped to them, hence the slightly higher octane is required.
