Would be awesome if something like this was done in OZ. Get all the car clubs involved.

Would have to push the budget up a bit seeing as you couldnt get a roadworthy 328i etc for $1500 thou!!!!!

Once in the 80s whilst a lawyer was spending a sojourn in Fiji, he was informed by his wife that the SL500 he wanted to sell, went for a hundred.

He, with his mistress by his side asked, "You mean $100,000 don't you?

His wife, a true woman scorned, replied matter of factly, "No, one hundred dollars" and then hung up.

Such a car would have qualified would it not?

      I don't care for these at all, but at least the underside looks straight and not rusty. A good basis for a long life. Many cars from Japan have been lifted with forklifts and f**ked almost irrepairably.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yes, but it's not dumb or dodgy. You can build a perfectly good boost controller from a pressure reg, a relief valve (looks same same as a reg if all from Norgren or SMC, for example) and a check valve. I ran one for years. Only superceded with  EBC because I could get one for cheaps and wanted finer control.   THis mod is certainly not a sketchy boost mod, provided the boost is kept below the "spin to death" threshold of the turbos.

      With ordering the belt, you're doing water pump and the idler and tensioner at the same time too yes?

      This is just a dumb way of keeping the wastegate closed to make more boost. Undo it and either follow the factory setup or redo it properly. Manual boost controllers just use a spring preload to determine when to close in response to boost pressure so it no longer vents to atmosphere.

      So for the wide band is a Bosch 4.9 correct for the Link G4+ along with a Can bus? Just get the Link gear or is generic ok too? Eg here: LINK LINK DIGITAL WIDEBAND CAN MODULE WITH BOSCH 4.9 SENSOR : KYP Performance House
