Nice triple post Artz ya spammer now you only have to put up with my internet he said she said for the rest of this week mate till I get Jez to my workshop and under the bonnet of my car this Saturday hahaha :nyaanyaa:

Even MTQ didnt know anything bout that sonic housing other than that it wasnt a AVO housing and that they are made by Mtq in adelaide apparently?????

Yeah i got cold feet from all the negative feedback bout these housings Artz and took everybodies advice...................... EVENTUALLY anyways :whistling:

damnit..I was actually more interested to see the result with the sonic housing..

Oh well..good luck with it :)

:yes: Yeah for sure Andy my workshop is in Londonderry and we got a fair bit of work ahead of us so well be around a while id say haha is a turbo, injectors ,Z32,oil change,cam gears and timing belt then possibly drain the 98 out and put E85 in and retune possible in 1 day :wacko: ? Lol I wouldnt have a clue cos ive never done it before except for an oil change anyways! Doesnt sound possible to me :blink:

yeah you wont regret it thats for sure...I was just really interested to see what it would do :/

chances are it wouldnt have made 300kw on pulp..but it would be a solid perfprmer regardless.

.

The thing I dont undestand is why do these companies keep selling these housings if they have been proven not to work?

i mean is the market for a housing that bolts on to a shitty stock dump pipe but doesnt perform really that big to justify their continued production...?

Just seems there is a lot of heresay and dyno evidence of them not performing so well but how much worse do they actually perform in comparison on the road...is there half a second in it on a drag strip or .1...

i would really like to know.. :unsure:

Yeah i agree mate but i didnt really wanna be the guinea pig with this housing. If it was a .75 like they are saying it woulda been responsive and still make decent numbers too and filled the void between the .63 and the .82 with what i have now is a proven recipe i guess so i thought i wouldnt change the recipe and hopefully get the most outta my ride that i can with all the hard earnt ive thrown at it :thumbsup:

No one says they don't work. The issue is that they seem to choke >450hp compressors. If Mick wanted to buy a GT3071 with this type of housing then I would expect it to work quite well. Once you move into the next size up there is a risk that you pay the premium for the sexy compressor and get the performance of something smaller (and cheaper) anyway.

yes well if your paying someone to install you made the right decision...last thing you want is to fork out for another days labour to swap it when it didnt work..

See Im a spanner man, I would of done all the labour myself so the loss isnt so great... ;)

and yes turbo swap and servise in a day is possible..im a muppet with a bag f tools and I can do it in my carport.

So should be a no brainer for Jez.

Im a plumber/boilermaker by trade mate i reckon i woulda stumbled through it ok even tho i havent done it before but ive spent too much coin on parts so im gunna b doin a crash course with jez n learn the tricks of the trade cos ill only need to be shown once to get my shit together :) haha

    • Jack the back of the car up, pull that wheel off, pull that sensor out, and put a bore scope into the hole to inspect the outer casing, see if anything looks damaged before you pull the whole thing apart.
    • Ergh... So I pulled the speed sensor out again and the tip was shiny so I think it's rubbing the bearing. The bearing contains the magnets for the speed sensor so I think when the first sensor broke it damaged the magnet ring on the bearing.  This is just a Google image, but there is a hole going to the bearing. So when the tip broke off the old sensor I'm guessing it fouled the bearing... As the magnet is only protected by a plastic cover it would be easy to damage it. So I guess I'm doing a bearing again.   
    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol
