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...

    • 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.
