Mugabetown - Whoretownin' At It's Worst.

Stupid comment of the day goes to... Matt!

You don't need big horsepower. Learn to f**king steer. McFly has 260rwkw, Z32 mike had just shy of 300 rwkw, Cadmoon has 180rwkw, Benno's S13 was running a stock RB20 with factory gear and they would all run after up Nebo, glorious or around LP faster than you.

Coilovers, sway bars, strut brace, decent tyres and learn how to use a clutch and steering wheel properly.

I don't want to hear any one else encouraging p platers to mod their cars in an illegal fashion. Yes, a 30 in a 33 is illegal. The motor wasn't an option and hence would require a blue plate.

Time and time again, the guys who've done it have said that it's not a great idea and have outlined the reasons why. If this doesn't suffice, contact someone else via pm. Colin had a pretty decent 32 and his advice is valid. If you want to play with the big boys, listen to the advice try give. If not, you will be a statistic and create more grief for the community as a whole.

This is a public forum and if you guys don't sort out your act, this page will be closed.

Im not trying nor will be doing anything illegal, I was putting together ideas and asking for a simple opinion I don't wanna cause a big uproar on the page so I'll just leave it at this and agree with you

I'm just doing a project motor. Just looking to do a solid build. Not sure on if it will be going in or not. I'm just doing research and getting ideas from past experience to see what it's like to do the motor side of it

Come time and I'm off my p's and I decide that I want to put it in and I have enough funds to afford it I might go down that ally if I want to try something new with my car

Or I could just rolling shell project it

Yes I acknowledge that me having a turbo on my p plates angers a few and other argue about it and that I shouldn't because of laws

But as I see it. I drive pretty safe I treat the car well I went about it all legal. It's not a flat capper camber hella flush crap thing I want is to look stock and I'm not modding it power wise untill off p plates to avoid a rear examination from tha police

But as I said engine will most likely be sold

The engine is for experience bad learning so I have physical not paper experience

That being said back to whoring I will keep future motor posts out of here

Yeah i dont get the uproar on this at all. The whole point of this place is for the younger guys to ask questions and learn from the people who have done it.

advice isnt gospel either and most of the time people do whatever the f**k they want anyway, i wouldnt stress that hard about it Tony.

Atleast when those questions get asked there is a bit of car talk going on in here even for the briefest of moments.

Threatening to close down the whore thread based on some chatter about a p plater wanting 400kw is a bit much.

You're right. Its good to see the odd bit of car related talk going on in here.

I also think to generalize all P Platers as certain kind of drivers isnt the way to go about it. I bet there is a lot of P platers out there and even on this forum who are "better" drivers that fully licensed people.

not even for p's just gathering ideas so I can do some research and what not for a conversion when I'm legally allowed to convert into a turbo

    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
