Will be increasing boost, don't think stock 8 will be able to hold. 8MR bov was the other option but it's pretty similarly priced, so the TS should be good choice for me. Dual Port for options, but emo doesn't like atmo usually anyway iirc.
no car likes atmospheric BOV it's part of the reason cars don't have them from factory lol

I wouldn't recommend it...

When tuning you push the car hard to find its maximum, then you take out a little bit as a safety margin to accomodate for hot days, slightly different fuel, etc... If you tune on a crazy hot day then the maximum is going to be lower, and then you're never going to be sure just how much of a margin to take out... My last tune with Trent was fuarken hot, think it was a 40c day. His ventilation is pretty good, but it was sucking in the air from above his factory through the roof which was still pretty damn warm so the car was getting really hot and pinging off its tits.

If you can reschedule, I would... but who knows their schedule and when they can fit you in next.

Cheers man, sort of in line with my train of thought too. It isn't booked in firmly yet, so I think i'll leave it for the following week pending temp drop.

not sure about that, mine get faster laps when venting atm rather than reciric

you can feel the diffrenernce on lift off the revs drop much faster handy when braking.

That doesn't mean your car likes it, that just means you like what it does

the worst the car gets out of it is a little rich for a second.

and a few flames.

nothing I would classify as overly bad.

I run recirc on the street and vent on the track, it's tuned venting and seems to work.

Maybe on the track. I always found the surge annoying when you slowly decel.

yes well as said even just for convenience factor I ran it recirc on the street.

as when you lift off it does lose everything instantly, good for when I'm hitting brakes.

so decided too lazy to finish car for around the bay tomorrow rolling with comfy mazda3 style

Hey tard muffins,

I'm having my Annual Australia Day BBQ / Triple J Hottest 100 Party on the 26th (obviously)

All you regular wastelanders are invited (especially if you own a 34r and would like to come have a chat with Birds) to come and chill in the sunshine with a few beers and talk some shite :)

Let me know if you're interested and I'll add you to the facebook event.

Cheeeers

Bout 40c for most of next week here too... What's it like there when it gets hot? Dry as all hell?

Yeah very dry and sunny. Then the thunderstorms and cyclones come through.

Had to shut last week because of cyclone. Lost power for a couple hours.

    • Starter motors used to use the weight of metal (magnets) to provide torque. Now they use (more) current instead. This. It's completely normal.
    • So thing that had me stumped, but I think is OK....is that when it was up in the air, in neutral I had it running to bleed to coolant while I put the wheels back on. I noticed the rears were turning (slowly) which I'd never seen before 20250928_163512.mp4     Because there had been an issue with clutch slip due to pedal adjustment on the dyno, I assumed there was still and issue so spent some quality time upside down under the dash adjusting the pedal....but no matter what I did the wheels still turned in neutral. Even disconnected the master cylinder to pedal rod and same. In despair, I even removed the clutch slave so there was no chance of any preload causing it.....still happened. So either: 1. Something is not right in the bellhousing, or 2. Its a thing sometimes with cold, thick gearbox oil Internet says it might be 2, I hope so!
    • OK, few more things sorted and it is ready for a shakedown on 10-Oct, with one weird thing. Changed the run in oil and filter for the good stuff. 8l came out, about 8.5 went in with filter so that looks all good. Changed the starter (again), this time for a brand new one, works good. Interesting that the Taaaarks one is shorter than factory but spins harder, I guess electronics have moved on a little in the last 30 years. Will be nice to have a bit of extra space under there. Put the timing cover back on, and noted where the cam gears were set as a record.  Will need to double check the timing but it is pretty close. Also put the coil pack cover and intake snorkel back on. Exhaust Inlet Changed the water out for coolant, bled up nicely. Removed the rear brake pads (well worn factory sumitomo ones!), gave the hardware a good clean and reassembled. I've put bendix XP on the back again because the price is excellent at $150 a set and they worked well on the V37. Front pads have plenty so no issue there
