The air temperature is right as much as we need the wet stuff i wish it would buzz off for me lol

Hopefully it is dry tomorrow.

I knew I was there for a reason and it wasn't to get my hands dirty...lol

Oops 16 deg and raining is the forecast

Great news :) I look forward to hearing your final results when the tune is finished and when you get some dry weather!!

Thats a bugger mate but i can tell you that you will be happy with your turbo selection from my first feel of my car today and the sound is good too :)

Thanks Andrew, glad u were there to give me a few neat little tricks especially the one on how U remove the side feed injectors from the rail. Loved that one.

Did a tiny bit of road tuning. Was wet and scary, but so far so good. Turbo is nice and responsive and has an awesome sound.

I just got home and left at 6 this morning. So a 16hr day. I couldnt leave micko there without getting it finished, i could tell he had been itching to drive it since he started ordering all the parts.

man when i said it should be easy for you, I thought you had a shop ..wait u do have a shop dont you..im confused :unsure:..

Anyway ,good work fellas :thumbsup:

Haha cheers ive got an engineering workshop artz still got a bit of work to do yet like putting the blow off valve plumback line in and modify the turbo outlet pipe my cat needs the flanges cutting off to align them better cos of my new dump pipe i think, gotta put my turbo blanket on get my cam gears installed waiting on a tomei fuel pump thats goin in and finally get her tuned properly as the wet weather blew any chance of bringing her onto boost...

When i finally finish it properly i will post some up...

Think im gunna get Jez to tune it up on 98 and see how it feels then on 11th next month i will have Yuvas re tune it on E85 and see what the difference is :D

Just got back from taking it for a buzz then Jez feels nice when it comes on boost but i been shifting at bout 4500-5000 and 51% throttle is most ive used so full throttle and more revs should be awesome hoping a good tune will help bring it on to boost a lil earlier though :thumbsup: gunna re run the pipework tomorrow when it comes back from the exhaust shop got lazy yesterday with that miserable weather didnt even clean the workshop lol. Got a boost control issue too my peak hold was 16.3psi when my controller was set to 13psi so dunno whats going on there :whistling:

How did u go with the new piping Micko?

have u takin it for a rap in the dry yet?

Ok so it was my first drive in the dry today so it was good to feel what she pulled like with some boost. In second gear and around the 4300rpm zone it started to spin my 255s (unsure of boost pressure) which was surprising actually considering my car has a 2 way kaaz LSD , it hasnt been tuned and it was just under half throttle 49%

It initially felt like a bit laggiier than i was expecting but jez pulled some timing out of her to make her safe albeit we couldnt drive her safely in the wet up top.

Just wondering roughly how much the tune will help boost response?:rolleyes:

f**k all unless something is completely wrong.

Ok so today i made up a suction pipe and my turbo outlet pipe out of 316L stainless steel and purged welded them i also chopped up and modified the factory blow off valve plumback line for my turbo today just gotta clamp it all up tomorrow. here is some pics of my work :ph34r:

:thumbsup: HAHA was thinking dunny rolls woulda looked better but settled for stainless instead! Thanks mate it did come up good i havent polished it up yet it will come up shinier but thats tomorrow arvos plan

My mig welding is heaps sexier than ur purged tig welds. Looks awesome micko well done.

So where is the pics of your pringles can mock up lol

    • You’ll be very upset when you bust that too not to mention the gearing totally sucks. Don’t do it.
    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
    • As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
