Mugabetown - Whoretownin' At It's Worst.


Recommended Posts

Sounds like a good idea. I am not privy to this motor vehicle you are assembling. All i know is it has a Crank trigger setup [Which im learning more about and jealous of lol] and now e85 with a good fuel setup. Sounds like a cool machine in the making

Its not going to be anything too special, the crank trigger is really just about reliability, after nearly 10 years of cars 'going out of tune' i just want a car that I can turn the key and kick it in the guts HARD every time with out fear of frigging knock lights ruining the fun! At he moment I am capped to running only 14psi with little to no timing, it made 306rwkw then so I am keen to see what the set up is actually capable of with a stable timing signal.

And if I dont like that I will build the RB28 I have wanted for the last 6 or 7 years!

yeah Bunts car should kick some serious bogan V8 ass once she's all done :P

Ha ha I doubt I will cross paths too often with any rigs matching that description, happy laps grand prix is not really my scene!

Is those figures on pump 98? I made another 100hp when i switched to e85 and only added like 3 psi

Strippers FTMFW... Especially Lesbo shows.

This is true

Yeah that was on 98. I think the physical flow of my turbos will be the limiting factor, they are only babies so I think they will be incapable of pushing more air at 350ish kw, though they have been modified from stock so their limit is a bit unknown.

Ants, what's that whisky recommendation website that you use? Also, have you tried Macallan 12 or 18 YO?

Its this website mate http://www.smwhisky.com.au/

Yes, I have tried both Macallan 12 and 18 fine oak and also tried the Macallan Sherry Oak. I also happen to own both ;)

Does it come recommended?

well its Macallan mate. She's like the Nike of single malts its very good stuff but I find the price hard to justify.

Its why in fact Macallan went down the path of introducing the fine oak range because production costs are lower using american oak barrels (bourbon) rather than sherry oak barrels, however even their 18yo was like $189 IIRC.

My thoughts are as follows:

Fine oak - cheaper than Sherry oak and is very fruity, makes your mouth water / dry and then releases beautiful flavors like vanilla, raisins and fudge

Sherry oak - very exy but my favorite but caramel galore. Could really go without that artificial coloring IMO but the tastes - at first its very spicy, but after you have drank a dram you get the following flavours, burnt cookie / creme caramel, spices like cardamin, orange peel and a hint of wooden smoke - truly amazing mate.

you can make your own recommendation but I think you know what to go for now.

    • Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is may e 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Dose anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys
    • Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?
    • My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.
    • There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.
    • I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.
