Back when i first got the pfc installed it i had a full 3 inch exhaust and bleed valve running 10psi.

Now i have that plus cut and shut plenum, ARC front mount intercooler, stainless piping, Pod filter, Bosch fuel pump and am running 15psi with standard turbo.

The next thing planned is rising rate regulator, better plenum and a GCG stage 1 high flow (i can keep dreamin)

well I cant here the detonation at 60, maybe my exhaust is too loud? I cant even here it when it has hit 110.

R33NT, 10psi eh? perhaps that has something to do with it? also, were you running 98 ron? gets quite humid up there too?

Vendetta, like I said before, you can borrow my hand controller. Take the car for a spin and see what it is doing - easy. If there are problems anywhere, I can pull some timing to make it safe, no probs.

I have a Jasma stainless 3inch with two mufflers in series so it is not a massively loud exhaust.

The problem with running 10psi was that the standard intercooler was GLOWING hot after a short gentle drive and no i was unfortunately only running premium unleaded (i think it is 96RON). We have only just recently had a couple of bowsers start selling BP ultima (98RON) here in Darwin ($1.15/litre).

I read in the latest HPI magazine today that the RB25DET has gotten a bad name because it has a higher compression ratio than the RB20DET and as such if you get the tuning wrong it pings badly and damages the motor hence the RB20DET is a more "forgiving" motor. As a result there are a lot of damaged motors out there, from having read this Vendetta i would seriously wait with plugging that pfc ECU in until you can borrow the hand controller from Steve. Rather a couple of days of a standard ECU than 2 weeks at the mechanic and the cost of rebuilding the motor.

    • That's not a transistor --- it's marked ZD1 which makes it a zener diode. As to what the breakdown voltage is, not enough there to divine.
    • Hi all, Long time since I've posted here. Looking for some advice on what I can remove to further identify the cause of my issues.  I can move the passenger seat forward and back but the knob used to adjust the seat angle is pretty much free spinning, there's very little resistance.  Removing the side cover I can see that the chain is intact but the shaft for the adjustment spins without the gear attached to it moving.  What's my next step for disassembly here? Is this a common fault? Just being a little cautious as I didn't want to start removing bolts for a spring to fly out or something equally as stupid.  Cheers
    • The incentives are mostly the same, yes. Ethanol is cheap compared to the cost of doing 98-100 RON with crude oil alone. 87 to 93-94 AKI all with E10. In 2020 Canada mandated E10 as a part of their "renewable fuel standard" and is supposedly going to go to E15 in 2030. In California where there are only 8 refineries with two threatening to shut down next year it's been over 20 years now of E10 and 91 AKI maximum because there's just not enough refinery capacity or crude oil supply relative to the demand for premium unleaded fuel. And CARB's low carbon fuel standard means functionally none of the diesel available at the pump is made from crude oil anymore. It's almost all entirely 20% biodiesel blended with 80% renewable diesel (hydrotreated vegetable oil) now. The number of gasoline vehicles that support E15 or higher ethanol concentrations is surprisingly low, I can't imagine it being wise to play tricks like this without flex fuel sensors in most of the fleet.
    • It's almost certainly the same as the one next to it.

    • South Australia, which is hardly as far behind as the rest pf Oz makes out, and who is also not a paragon of progressiveness (read that as over-legislation) in the area of vehicle standards, has this to say on the subject: Adjustable coil-over suspension Aftermarket adjustable coil-over suspension components are suspension units that incorporate an external thread on the main body and corresponding threaded spring saddle that allows the vehicle's suspension height to be varied. If fitting aftermarket or coil-over suspension components you must submit an Application to modify a light motor vehicle form and a report from a light vehicle engineering signatory (LVES).
