Yeah was baycorp I think...didn't pay a cent of interest..Cant complain..

exactly... you did well considering what could have happened

also you provided a perfect case study to show the system works :P

i wouldn't bother with the split dump, not worth it at such low power levels, by the time you need it you have an external gate anyway.

i picked up a dump, front and cat for $300, tomei dump, trust front and nfi what cat it was.

those aftermarket turbos expect even 2nd hand to have to pay, my ef3 2nd hand was still $1600

Hmmm, yeah. That's why I was thinking wasn't on my immediate to-do list. Haha yeah some good second hand parts would be nice!

Haha yeah. Should probably include MAP2.5 to that list. I think I'd be happy with a 9 turbs however, dat response.

The other funds sink is the minor other supporting mods like bov, gauges... Maintenance stuff.

Aaaand of course sussy and wheels, and an e9 rear bar. Also I'm thinking nose chop.

So many plans xD

oh yeah and re evo... probably e7 best BFYB imho... 230awkw from just I/C piping, 8MR OEM turbo, fuel pump, full exhaust, boost solenoid and stock ECU flash.

I have most stuff... just need the turbo and LICP and i'm ready to go, so far have spent about $500 (secondhand stuff)

Yeah. Some 7s sold for some good prices. But I'd probably aim for a bit more, hence an 8. Not to mention other little nice things... like bigger fuel tank :P

3xe or whatever they're called do the licp for under $100 I think, with all the joiners and clamps too.

Brand new was cheaper than any other second hand I could find.

Yeah? Last I checked hot side around $150, cold side around $280... But as a set I think he does < $400 for both. But yeah like I said, x3e was what I was looking at for this :thumbsup:

What's wrong with the e7 tank... It makes you feel like the car's fuel efficient cos it only costs $50 to fill :P

see it's just not worth the hastle...

e85 will get me to what, 250awkw vs 230?

and for that I need to do injectors and make huge efforts for fuel

that's a lot of effort for less than 15kw/tonne

I feel it'd push more than 250, if pushing 230 w/ 98, though...

it's worth getting the tune etc... but TBH I ended up running the 33 on 98 most of the time due to CBFness

290rwkw is enough for daily duties in a gtst

Yeah I fear the ceebs will flow through me lol

Like buying an fc hako etc etc

from discussions on evo oz it seems to net around 250 w e8MR turbo and 260 w e9 turbo

hmm, what sort of boost is that running?

-----------------------------------------------------------

there's a caltex with e85 on my way to uni, so i think i'll be sweet! also more or less on the way to work (sliiiight detour). only drainer is if i need to go in the other direction haha... although dat dual map tune for worst case scenario...

    • 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.
