Bolted my oil pump with reimax gears on my block tonight. Next step is to fit the nitto oil drain to the head and start looking at doing valve springs. Anyone know of a decent brand that does springs for neo heads?

<br /><br />Your in luck I have a magnetic snapon tool used for removing the collets.I used it when I was changing the stem seals makes it easy.<br /><br />Also with the nitto head drain have you tapped it into the Welsh plug or removed it completely. Are you locating the drain pipe to the exhaust side of the sump or intake side.? Did you also put the restrictor on the block.

Thats the sun being difficult for a photo. Best one i could get. This one too:

Looks good except for that weirdo reflection thing going on there. :D

Today, I drove the 31 and the 33 and didn't put a spanner to either of them.

My Free 27mm Sway bar bushes arrived too.

Maybe spanners tomorrow...

Made up some speaker plates to mount my new speakers in the doors and the rear shelf, soldered/heat shrunk all the old twist and tape wiring

finally i have a working sound system

Congrats - good effort

Well I have a Suziki Swift GA (1992) with a listed power level of 39kws at the fly. :woot:(1litre and 3 Cylinders)

This is seriously a NO frills car. No PS, A/C, Radio (with only 1litre it cant really power headlights - LOL)

Asked my neighbour yesterday if it ran and what he was doing with it as it hadn't moved since July last year.

He responded it wasn't running and he was quoted $1000 to fix. So he de-registered it as these aren't worth much more running.

Asked him how much he wanted and he said take it !, as even the wreckers said they would charge him to tow it away.

So I pushed it up to mine and checked it out

Found the Cat had collapsed (hence why he said it had no "power" before it stopped, Air filter was full of chaff ! , dead battery, Windscreen crack right across the screen and the kicker .............................. No fuel

The paint work is all oxidised badly (not hard to clean up).

So went to try start it with the jump pack. Main fuse blew while trying to turn it over and I realised the fuel gauge didn't move off Empty.

Today on the way home I got some fuel and a new 60amp relay fuse. Now she runs :w00t: (the lawn mower sounds better and has more grunt too)

Shame it wasn't a GTi (1.3ltr). They came out with forged internals and are easily turbo'd.

None the less a small project to tinker with

Sweet! Good onya mate. That will be a fun little project. Nice pickup. :D

SDMA Vehicle perhaps? ;)

Swift 1L 3 cylinder 39kws of Awesome vs Micra 1.2L 3 cylinder 59kws of Fury

    • 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.
