This is my black four door. It started off life as a gun metal grey 20e auto. when I got a hold of it it was black, manual and 20de. I have since converted it to 20DET and I am in the process of getting it certified.

Mods:

20det

25det turbo

front facing plenum

alloy radiator

front mount intercooler

waste spark.

to do:

adjustibles

drive shaft hoops

5 stud and brakes

cert

boost controller

Only plans for it are to be a street car thats can be taken to the track and be raced, dragged, skidded or drifted.

I need to fit a longer throttle cable for my plenum, cant find a longer one and no one has cable thick enough for me to make the stock one longer and they are not very helpful haha, they all think its too hard and send me on my way. Wouldnt be the first time making a throttle cable, ah well. just the way it goes.

So what is a good cable to use as an alternative or is there aftermarket ones to suit.

Well took it out for its first drive in ages..... looks like I need a new clutch and it stalls sometimes when I pull up to a stop, a slight miss on decel and a miss just as boost comes on that goes away. Yet to look into it but I think either it has a air leak or the cheap fuel reg is shit house.

Other than that very happy with how it runs and how much more power it has, surprisingly torquey with my monster plenum :yes:

Here is my birthday skid for my 21st a few months back

and how the engine bay looked not so long ago :whistling:

Hey mate, nice ride. Just curious what power you're making with that set up?

Also regarding your car stalling, mine did the same. Had my ics (idle control sensor) pulled apart and cleaned, now she's sweet as :) carbon builds up in them and jams em up

Thanks, I have no idea. It's yet to be dynod and tuned, but it goes like a cut cat. It was as fast as my mates 25DET but his wasn't Running right haha.

Thanks I Will try that, I recently cleaned the boost tee and now its stable as. Was full of black gunk and would hit 15 pound and creep back to 13psi etc. Good now though! Goes to show how much of an impact that black stuff makes.

Well I checked everything off on my list, making some decent power pre tune. Luched two gearboxes and a diff haha

Run a 14.2 @104mph. Would have done better but a lost 5th so had to pull the pin. New box and a tune will see me in the 13's :)

    • Unfortunately this is a bit like arguing if you prefer blondes or brunettes....you will get people who strongly hold either view. My observation is I have had good results racing on MCA golds (spring led) but personally find Gary's approach of lighter springs and heavier bars is more predictable over mixed or rough surfaces like in rally (or an Australian road)
    • Yeah, they mentioned that its not worth upgrading from the stock sway bar due to how their coilovers are set up.  Still learning more about the suspension etc, but with Garys approach of lower spring rates and controlling roll with bars and obviously improved dampers, wouldnt that be like softer ride and more roll but with the sway bar, it keeps the roll to a minimum/lower amount? Where as MCA's approach of stronger springs, and dampers adjusted for the springs, wouldnt that be a harder ride (against bumps, going straight etc) and less roll, and the stock sway bar does its thing but the coilovers does the majority of the work? Its a daily so im in favor of a softer ride while normally driving but keeping the roll to a minimum while turning etc. Or am I getting my idea of suspension completely wrong?   I was looking at the Pro Comfort, it has the price hike of it being the MCA Pro series ( extra $400, total $2490 ). Ive read people saying the blue/red/gold series(and the blues being more favorable from the past threads) but what would those be nowadays?  What was the drive difference between the BC golds and the MCA Blues you got?
    • more then likely but not very practical for a street car 
    • AFAIK didn't some of the race variants of the 32s do this relocation? Just relocate the fuel tank into the trunk.
    • There’s a fuel tank in the way in a 32
