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 :)

    • Bought a v35, with blown head gasket. Looking for ideas what to do next? Rebuild, replace or swap??
    • I know -_- Oddly enough I went to a car show this weekend and not a single person made any mention of Nitrous... I did have to argue with a know it all that was convinced I had an RB26 head with HKS V-Cam as opposed to a regular VCT RB25 head, but what do I know. I think my HKS oil cap was throwing him off. 
    • That seems like a lot more work than just using a second jack under a front tow hook to raise it enough to get another jack under it. 
    • They're wonderful when only used to lift your car up an inch so a real jack fits under your front lip. Besides that, I've only ever used them on the side of the road.  We call them widow makers here.  Unfortunately, like I mentioned in another post, ramps are not an option for me due to generally working on my car once my kids are asleep. Cold starts, 4" exhaust and sleep rarely go well together. I honestly find using ramps a hell of a lot more work than what I'm currently doing anyways. 
    • Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL
