i was going to buy a new gt2831 or something but garrett gave me this turbo for free and i cost me 200 in gaskets and clamps and i am happy. i was doing 14.00sec quatermile before i did half the mods so now i am hoping for at least mid 13s in the end i want 12s then i will take it to a race track and see how it handles. but we dont get paid to work on our cars so the work gets done afterhours.

They were 300 cheaper then the br's though.

I found a guy on here that sells the BC racing BR's for $1165 delivered (http://www.streettotrack.com/). So your Silk Roads are still cheaper (but only by ~$165) and I'm not overly concerned about it being harder to adjust damping.

Can you tell me if they can be set up soft or do they start at "firm" & go harder from there, as per most Japanese coilovers? But with a name like "Silk Roads" they sound so soft & comfortable LOL.

The aftermarket ECU and tuning will be the biggest difference. If you search forced induction you will find a thread by rev210 on how to get 12's on a 33 with as much stock gear as possible. The stagea is a lot heavier.

Nice find Leon, good prices there. Just curious how you'd go with warranty though, could be a sticking point?

I believe he is an official reseller and has such handles warranty the same as the others. He is just keener for the business so does some forum marketing in his spare time. He is quick to respond to email questions, which is great, so maybe confirm with him. The only downside is the delivery time for our cars is about 15 days. From that I'd guess he doesn't keep ours in stock LOL. But I am a patient man so that doesn't bother me. I've been waiting on some spare parts since Christmas......

got suck down the coast at albian park rail with a dead battery on saturday. NRMA only had a smallish battery with the small terminals. hope it lasts!!

I think I have the small battery.... :(

that sucks. i might change mine to the spare if its still around

i had a pitworks battery in there, has been in there since japan! not bad, lasted over 2.5 years.

3.5 for mine so could not complain.... Only paid $80 for the new battery delivered to my car.

last time i went to the drags i had 6 runs of times between 14.00 and 14.10 it was pissing me off i just wanted to crack into the 13s i had shit tyres so i was changing tyre pressure to get grip off the line and i only had done intercooler, boost controller and pod filter and was getting 1.9sec 60ft so low 13s is no problems.

this is only the 2nd car ive ever repaced a battery in

Lucky bastard. I think I've replaced the battery in every car I've had *touch wood*

Mine is a Pitwork too, hoping it lives a long, happy, healthy life :cheers:

I was going to ask if your alarm issues could be related to battery issues :P

I was going to ask you if your handling issues could be related to stilts issues :P

Haven't checked actually, didn't even occur to me. Will look into it. Thanks :thumbsup:

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
