Nice purchase and some damn nice upgrades there :yes:

Yeh, HDI Intercooler Kit is soon going to be on my list too!!

Cheers

Edited by skyguy3804

HDI kit was a snack to install

Hopefully they start selling it with a 10" replacement fan as part of the kit...

Also picked up a turbosmart Kompact recirc bov ,as i suspected the factory one was bleeding (leaking) of boost. now holds but at the cost of noisy flutter.

Haha yeah I used the same BOV made a good performance difference but it does sounds like I have trapped a large pigeon under the hood

Yeh, Have the same problem with my kompact too.. they just don't seem to want to do anything about replacing the spring. Last time I spoke with them they wanted me to send them videos of the noisy flutter at low boost, and it shutting off at high boost so their engineers can 'analyze' and maybe send me out a softer spring!!

It can be managed to a degree by driving in tiptronic.. Still, it get's all the boy racers copping a sqizz :rofl2:

It doesnt suit the vehicles looks.

Intersested to see if GFB have an alternative even a late model GTR version would most likely remedy the problem...

Intrested to hear other owners who have found a better alternative...

I've got a dual port venting to atmosphere.......... love the flutter at low boost and sounds like a bucket of water being thrown at a wall over 7psi HAHA

good thing is though u can chage the spring tention by winding it down but mines on the softest setting......

Yeah I got the GFB Respons, you can adjust it to recirc or atmo and anywhere in between which is good, I set mine to recirc at moment but muck around with it every now and again, would be good with aftermarket ecu so you could tune for atmo better.

But yeah flutter is still pretty strong, if you adjust the spring really soft it helps reduce flutter but feels like it doesn't go quite as good, and it can make the car hesitate a little on and off light throttle, again that could be tuned out with an emanage I reckon.

I can only guess my standard unit was as loose as - the fact it had zero noise at all.

In regards to the emanage ive had a tuff time locating an expert on wiring it in in Adelaide.

The Guru appears to be in Vic. Have considered the drive , same time address the exhaust with the Fabrication Expert. If there is Adelaide option be interest to speak about the installs

Yeah I know mate I was Under the assumption all would know who I was refering to , aswell hoping someone closer to my postcode handy with a bunch of wires & soldiering iron and a finish to closely resemble your craftsmanship.

The trip to Vic is proving a difficult assignment...

If only i had to worry bout myself.

Btw hows the progress going are we nearing a start mate?

Honestly....

Would you touch the GT3082 ive on hand install?

Highmount in front of airbox?

Decided that the time, effort $$$ invested to just have a " proven results highflow" in place and on road is going to be not a great deal less Plus the heading of this blog explains everything...

Emanage is fairly easy to wire in as long as you have a computer pinout diagram , have always done my own computer wiring, emanage , microtec ect . There is also Nathan the auto electrician kicking around adelaide can't remember his business name but I can give you his number , a fair few of the performance workshops use him, top bloke !

I've still got a emanage ultimate kicking round somewhere I thought about putting it on the m35 but not sure i can really be stuffed with too many performance mods on it . Already trying to make 1 house brick something like quick is annoying enough lol

Certainly not attempting any records upgrading and modifying ones car is a personal taste.

For me its the perfect ride to have performance and luxury. Velvet sledge hammer.

Thanks I certainly would appreciate the Auto Sparkys number.

Finally nobody I know ever left a Turbo car stock ...

    • I'm thinking that this is such a small part of the problem that you could easily forego the vac pump and just achieve 90% of what you need, which is keeping the gate open when off boost. It's not as if there are not already techniques to keep a gate fully closed under boost. After all, you have boost. Just use a wastegate actuator that will allow you to apply the boost on the appropriate side, just like every external gate out there.
    • Heres another fitment photo. redrilled the pattern to 5x112, and threw my audi´s rims on. had to touch the upper control arms with grinder, because the "sharp corner" was sticking about 2-3mm on the tire path. i have the "fender lip" mostly cut off, otherwise these (too) would contact with it. 20x9.5 ET25 rear    265/30 20x8.5 ET20 front    255/30 they are temporary, and look too big for the chassis. searching for 19s to it.
    • From experience, it will come back to bite you haha.
    • Background: my BMW 225i hatchback (rebodied MINI/X1) came with 3x RE003 and 1x Goodyear Asymmetric something. The RE003 roared and slid around, the Goodyear side was quiet and grippy. Definitely my car was thrashed before it got sent to dealers. My brother also got RE003 all round on his old VA WRX STI, I wasn't impressed with them, car was loud so can't comment on noise. Anyway, Hankook stopped making/updating V12 Evo2. So bought S1 Evo3 runflats. Great daily duties tyre and not that harsh ride. Tyre reviews site/youtube rated them as best stopping in the rain and I believe them. Next set, Goodyear Asymmetric 5 non-RFT. It beat PS4 in tests and is like $100 cheaper, so put them on. Great tyre, more grip then S1 Evo3 but a tad noisier as expected, still rocking them. Next set I am looking to go runflats, probably the new Hankook Evo. Although the new Pirelli PZ5 did well in tyrereviews test. Or go Goodyear Asymmetric 6 which was top tyre last year. The V12 Evo2 on my gen5 Liberty GT wagon did great in cold condition (drove to snowy mountains for a day so my husky can feel his ancestor's roots). Super impressive performance for $120 each lol. Never skimp on tyres, brakes, suspension. There's old pics of my R31's crappy random brake pads bending in the caliper at Oran Park track day somewhere around here. Anyway, my 2 cents.
