Took the day off work and I'm sitting here patiently waiting for The Thread Doctor to arrive.

Removing a snapped dump bolt from my turbo rear housing, and 3 exhaust mani studs from my block.

What are you guys up to today?

I'm at southern grampians volunteering by setting and catching bandicoots for research O_o

Dat corporate volunteering

lol no worse?

you're in for a suprise lol

its not even so much economy.

major PITA having to fill up all the time because of the small child sized tank..

that and the turning circle lol.

the only two faults i have with the car...

replacing the o2 over the weekend to see if it makes it a little better as the o2 looked as if it was all over the place.

currently 250km to a tank.. stock. fun. no

that's ok... i'm not worried by the small tank... also 250k/40l is about the same as the skyline and that's not tuned... it should use less fuel but by a bees dick

Yeh, it seems ok, i just think I'm worrying too much and giving it abit too much boot. But when people are saying they normally get 320k out of a 7 tank..

Well...

37 litres i filled up to be exact..

got 252.3km lol

apparently tank size is 48 litres

which is bang on correct for 320km to a tank lol

i've literally calculated how paranoid about stupid shit I am haha

Watching Sopranos re-runs and job seeking.

And sorting out my farkin coilpack issues.

coilpacks +1 :(

need some new puppies in mine too. but mine have been dying for a while LOL.

coilpacks + major = happy days

hopefully.

*soon*

⊙︿⊙

+ 1

Coilpacks letting go after 160,000K and hitting 19psi today

All my bolts came out fine only took a few mins

Me got my car tuned at Chequered tunning today

Fuel economy is for pussies.

Yup noticed the fuel economy in the Evo wasnt that great

And the turning circle is crap lol

What'd you make Toby?

Guy in an excel was driving behind me this afternoon, taking a photo of my car on his phone. Were u mirin me Dezz?

Coilpacks were failing so atm 265 rwkw on 19.5psi with a boost drop to 15.5psi at redline

If I sort out coilpacks and boost drop trent reckons should hit 300rwkw

    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
