Nahh - not true at all... My turbo's a low mount! :(

 

matt

dont worry, he knows it's gonna fit.

He just trying to make himself sound better as he paid for a manifold and i didnt :aroused:

Actually the GT30 is the same size as the old t3/4 that i pulled off.

So it's almost a direct bolt back in. With a stoke of luck the dump pipe might go back on too.

It'll be very close looking at it all.

yes but it was a tight fit @ that :P

yeah gt30 lowmount can be done but not if you get a dodgy manifold :0

Got my XTR exhaust housing thermal blanket. Bit of a bitch to fit coz the turbo is so close to the cam covers.

Also i was sizing up some rice for the engine bay, namly new hoses, pressure piping etc. :D

Got my HKS EVC 3 arriving on tuesday so i will run a few more psi and see what it pulls out.

Looks like the the HKS EVC is handling your boost ok... how are you finding it?

I got a HKS EVC 3 and it works so much better with an external gate than the greedy profec b spec 2.

Car is getting detailed this week inside and out for autosalon as i will post some pics of it after that coz it preety filthy atthe moment. :D

nice power curve dude, it looks like it's got the minerals up top.

good results for 20psi.

mine goes on the dyno tomorrow, to do a power run as it is, and then boost's going up  ;-)

I was gonna chuck some 106 RON fuel in there and play around a bit but it a nice safe tune for now so the engine survives till i decide to decompress it and beef up the bottom end.

Wow! that's great denham. How safe is it at 280rwkw, I'm only asking as I was planning on getting my tuned for around 250-260rwkw as I was told that would be safe. Hanging to get my car back. I also ended up going for the gcg high mount manifold... :rofl:

not very safe if u hit boost in 3rd at around 100 with a bit of moisture on the road and u go across 3 lanes sideways till u pull 4th gear :D

I drive on 1 bar most of the time on low boost which is about 250rwkw and only 19psi for fun times!!

If u dont drive like a knob all the time then ur engine will be safe, just keep an eye out on the knock levels when u r giving it a hard time

    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
