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

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.

+ 1

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

    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋 
    • Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.
    • So while the second sentence is completely correct and the whole point of the conversation, the first sentence bears consideration. If this bloke is just hoping to throw big turbos on and drive it around, because there are no helpful facilities at all in his tropical paradise** then he likely has zero chance of even knowing what the TP is on the last column in the stock maps, let alone know whether the ECU is operating anywhere near it or past it. So the point is very very moot. And, per what I said before, at stock boost on those turbos, you may well be off the end of the map. **I'm just back from Vanuatu, so I know exactly what small Pacific nations can be like wrt paradise without requisite facilities. But it's not even that simple. I put a high flow on my car and had to drive it around without a proper tune because of the lack of opportunity*** to put the bigger AFM and injectors into it to allow it to be tuned. I had to turn the boost down to less than I had before, and back off the boost controller's ramp, because it was exploring parts of the map that it didn't drive in before, and really couldn't access for tuning on the dyno either, and so was pinging. It was still well within the last column, because when I first**** set up the Nistune on the Neo I rescaled all axes of the maps to give some more space to explore. ***Family dyno was broken ****This was 13 years ago, and the TIM thing wasn't a thing then and so TP would definitely grow when pushing past the stock tune's limits.
