I think that was a legitimate speed camera flash because it seemed to come from the other side of the intersection? Then again, I don't remember another flash and my car is in this photo :/

Speed camera flashes have traumatised me for life.

If that's your 32 Jamie, it dumps quite a bit of smoke when you're giving it stick!

:laugh:

Mr. Windsurf (Andrew) said the same thing... O2 Sensors might need changing again.

Does it use the O2 sensor when you're full throttle? Could be too thin an oil or worn piston rings / turbo seals. Can't remember if black smoke is oil or fuel burning.

whitey blueish smoke is oil...

black is rich fueling...afaik

btw, how bad is mine? I have never checked other then in rear view... just with the screamer I can't imagine it would be much better?

Yeah, Andrew said the same thing, black.

Must be running rich.

Adam, yours blows a fair bit under load, but every car will do something on full throttle...I don't remember noticing anything as much as I did Jamie's. Sounds like you do need a tune Jamie :)

Nar you'll have to Nistune or PowerFC for a dyno tune...but I meant "tuning" as in getting everything running right. You might actually have an underlying issue as to why it's running rich under load. On light throtle / cruising it's usually an O2 sensor...but this might be injector, spark or timing related? Nothing to be concerned about unless it's fouling your spark plugs, it'll just use more fuel and might not be as powerful as it could be if it was running leaner :)

    • Thanks mate, couldn't find in VIC, ended up ordering one from NSW, getting rwc to get new plates and registration done.
    • Before all the EFR fan boys come in, have a look at: https://www.garrettmotion.com/racing-and-performance/performance-catalog/turbo/g-series-ii-g30-825-58mm/ It also comes in a T4 1.06 divided housing. I would dare say if you want response & also decent power, this thing would chop.   AND apologies, just re-read your post, you've already bought the turbo... whatever you do, make sure you stick with divided housing and proper twin scroll manifold.
    • People have got to stop doing that. ShatGPT is not a search engine. It is a hallucination factory.   I also would recommend the 1.05. The .83 will "work" for you , in that it will be more responsive, but I think you'll find that it won't be anywhere near as good running it out to 8000rpm as the big housing will be.
    • Decided for the first time ever I would tow my car TO the track day on the same working theory as bringing tools and spares "if I have it I wont need it, but if I leave it behind i will 100% need it" all setup and ready to go out and try these A050 for the first time First session showed I needed to stiffen up the dampers a touch but still managed a few 1:21's without much effort. things were looking good. Came in a dropped the tyres down  to 26/28 as they had gotten to 35/33C from 22C cold The first lap of session two I managed to drop into 1:20's. Then in the second lap into the second session. Coming into T3 and I suddenly lost brake pedal followed by some huge rear end vibrations and scraping sounds. Got it back into the pits after session ended and found this. in the attached video, all of the wobble is in the hub its self, wheel is mint, and bearing feels tight. lKXLqpd - Imgur.mp4   Deciding it was a bent spindle I tried to find bearing/hub assembly locally but was unsuccessful so it was loaded back onto the trailer i luckily brought it on to drag it back home
