thanks to Dale's effort in getting me the swaybars etc i've now got them in but im going to have to spend some time tweaking it, although its nice and firm ive had to back the shock's down and now i think im goin to have bigger prolblems with bottoming out in dips etc.

ahwell thats the fun part i guess trying to find the settings to make it handle nice allround.

not much to update atm but i am getting my rims repaired after an altercation with a roundabout island which i lost LOL i swear it jumped out at me

and still waiting on my new bonnet and rear chassis brace.

still wondering if i should bother putting the F-con in yet.......... it would help because i am getting a fair bit of overfueling especially seeing at the BOV is venting to astmosphere and on gear change / lift of throttle i get some good backfires :)

Nice one! Let me know how you go!

My harness is on its way back and I'll be getting it tuned as soon as my EVC6 turns up... Want to replace the factory solenoid before tuning.

Here we go current mod's to date.

Power Duct and BMC Airfilter, Scotty's Dump Pipe, Fully Custom 3" Stainless Steel Xforce Exhaust, Phenolic Intake Spacer, HDi Intercooler, Turbosmart Dual port BOV, Dale's custom 2.5" Sutcion Pipe and Scotty's Wastegate Actuator.

Weird graph with the converter locking up on the original run and staying locked up after, did you cut any wires or is that a result of playing with settings?

How does she drive anyway? I'm sure you feel the torque drop off after 5k... Time for a highflow? :whistling:

still need to find out why im dropping off on boost, its ever since i changed all the vacuum hoses ahwell im happy any way might save the turbo a bit longer

Boost will always drop off a little due to the pressure in the manifold skyrocketing and blowing the puck open, the spring only helps so much. Do you have a controller?

the graphs are different at the bottom due to different throttle application.

we disconnected the manual boost T and are running it straight from the BOV to the Wastegate.

its a bit hard to describe but u can feel the extra power but overall the car is alot tamer than before, its very strong down low and very driveable on the freeway.

the car just sounds healthier has a nice crisp note to it now and damn does that suction pipe make some noise!!!

the cars just so different to drive i'll have to see how it goes over the next few weeks (mainly only use it on the weekend)

anyways just finished mounting the computer in the dash so gonna go out and drive it!!!!!!

ohh and no i havent got any extra sensor's they'll go on once i do the highflow etc etc

i'll probly only get the map/temp sensor and look into wiring up a EGT.

Nice Theo.

Glad you find it nice and smooth to drive. You'll have some fun at the drags I think. A programmable boost controller will take care of that drop off. Does the ECU have that function?

Are you still running off the AFM sensor? What Volts did you get up to?

Did you get a chance to over lay with my 3rd gear pull?

    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
    • BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
