Finally got some spare time and started looking at my Defi's and trial fitting them.

I am going to attempt to leave the cups on them and get a thin bit of steel rod to put through the mounts to help with aligning them together easier, I'll post pics and let you know how it goes.

My first lot of deliveries for the week turned up.

Gearbox oil (Redline Lightweight Shockproof), all new seal kit, clutch alignment tool (which as I mentioned turns out I'll be getting with the clutch anyway haha :( ) and also a magnetic sump plug which I will chuck in next time I drop the engine oil.

So, I finally got around to fitting the Defi's this week. I'm still to fit the sensors, but the gauges themselves are in lol.

I tapped into the IGN power, ground and illumination from the cigarette lighter and then the constant power leading to the head unit for the control unit, thinking I will velcro it into the glove box but currently it is sitting in the passenger footwell lol.

I love how easy it is to pull shit apart in R34's lol.

Someone asked earlier to post pics on how I mounted these, so here it is, I siliconed them! Haha, looks a bit sketchy but I didn't want them falling back and silicon is easy enough to get off so I figured more was best lol.

Fitted up. Not 100% perfect alignment but you can't really tell.

No boost gauge?

Nar, I have the e-boost to check if I need to (currently sitting in the glove box).

If I get another gauge I'll probably pillar mount it and whatever the other one is (only other one I can think I'd get would be AFR but that won't be until I do a bit more engine work).

I've still got a water temp gauge I want to hook up and have looked at AFR as well but as much as I want them in the car I dont want to go through the hassle of pillar mounting them only to get defected

Don't you have an AFR? :3

I don't see it as a necessity just a precautionary thing.

Yep in the glovebox out of sight! It is simply there for troubleshooting if anything goes wrong.... The Haltech protects the engine so no need to watch what its doing!

    • It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
    • The maxpeedingrods turbo is cheap and bolts on to stock parts. I think you just need a bigger silicone coupler for the intake. Its a cheap china turbo, but it's been running on mine for almost 3 years at 16-19 psi.
    • What do they look like right after you've tried to start it with everything connected? Also post photos of what they actually look like.
    • Also wanted to say, my new spark plugs are blackened looks like it's very rich. I have splitfire coilpacks but stock coilpack loom and ignitor. I tried directly grounding the ignitor ground to body as well.
