Finally heard back regarding my Anti Surge housing i didn't order. Ended up getting hold of him via Facebook. They will be back in stock mid August and he will be sending me a new one.

Not sure if I should pay for the replacement and do a comparison between the 2 for the good of SAU

That would be a pretty cool back to back but I wouldnt encourage you to spend money on it at this stage. Dori's setup already proved the antisurge didnt work well, so I would say save your hard earnt coin and just tune up once you have the normal cover.

Was Dori's a proper antisurge cover though? I thought it was just a normal cover with holes drilled in it??

My kando t67 antisurge has drilled holses and a machined slot, i see no reason why this would work any different to HKS/turbonetics style antisurge?

Did DORIs home brew anti surge just have holes or did it have a connecting slot to the front of the compressor also?

Dori's car had a few issue's that we found after he refitted the NON antisurge. And even after fixing all that up it was down a bit in power from the last first tune

    • 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
