nah its the diesel... has no go off the line. car feels very heavy.

nice to cruise tho.

you might think it's a little slower because you're used to a faster car. But 320nm of torque in a 1.7l turbo diesel motor is awesome. You can get 1500km to a tank of fuel highway driving in one of those too. I sell Hyundai's and i'm currently driving one for a drive car - i think it's great i enjoy driving it every day. Nice and smooth comfy and power is great.

The question you have to ask is; if you can get 320nm of torque and 1500km per tank from 1.7l,

Why wouldn't you make it 2.2l or 2.4l with a wide ratio box, & actually have a car that goes fast AND gets good fuel economy?

Cause mazda already did that with the 6 diesel. 2.2 litre 130kw 420nw 5.4l per 100

And Hyundai owners are povos, that wouldn't pony up for a mazda.

Would not buy.

If you found out the cost of servicing and replacement of parts on these modern diesels you would freak, the particulate filters alone are worth 3-4k and can block every year or two.

I punched one out the other day as it was clogged, the customer couldn't afford the 4k for a new one from Subaru. So happens there are temp sensors in there to help diagnose the burn off phase, without the medium in there this doesn't happen well at all obviously. When the fuel gets dumped to do the clean the car now goes into limp mode. :/

Love a bit of engineered failure; how else can you make money out of reliable cars?

My point exactly.

Add to that the stupid direct injection issues of carbon build-up around the intake valves and you have some serious maintenance issues, cars are definitely not designed to do half a million k's anymore, not without massive servicing costs.

5 year unlimited km warranty, 7 year roadside assist, 3 years capped price servicing (15,000km-12 month intervals) full size spare better put together interior (easier to navigate and more updated), better features, better value for money and a better looking car is a handful of reasons why i'd buy an I40 over a dolphin-nosed Mazda.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.

      Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.

      Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.

      I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
