Hey all

Currently in the strip down stage of my track car.

Below are pics of the engine with turbo removed and carbon canister gone etc.

Is there anything else that isnt needed or can be tidied?

I cant see much more. But just after another set of eyes!

Plus while people are reading, wheres the cheapest and easiest place to get a 6boost gasket?

I'd keep the charcoal canister, it's like 100grams and soaks up the fuel tank fumes and burns them while the engine is running, and has zero effect on hp.

Sound attenuation material is heavy, inside the cabin, removing trim and that sound junk will save you some weigh.

Ditch the bonnet catch assembly.

Use bonnet pins.

NO

could block off the line the goes from the rocker cover breather to the intake mani if running a breather on catch can, change hose on turbo water return line so no leaks and change heater hoses for any future leaks

Don't replace heater hoses.

Ditch the heater. Definitely no future leaks.

Dan J - why not ditch the bonnet catch. It will need 2 fastenings, pins will do the job nicely and remove surplus sheet metal that impedes airflow to the radiator. Less can be more, even if it means a bit more work.

Ben - agreed. This thread belongs in Motorsport Builds though.

Heater has also been removed already

Interior is stripped. Sound deadner has been removed. Most wiring has been removed.

Have a very light carbon bonnet.

Headlights gone. Looking for some sealed lights to use.

At the moment getting a list of mods together.

A 6boost manifold gasket?

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      So yes. All of them. Something like 98% of all fuel in the USA has 10% ethanol: https://afdc.energy.gov/fuels/ethanol-fuel-basics It's labelled as like, AKI, 87, 91, 93 with an E10 or E5 or E15 label on the pump. At a certain point, it's not just "E10" instead of 91. It is 91, 95, 98, and all of them have 10% Ethanol in them. You can also get E85 and E30 which is why you do see some people rolling around with E30 tunes in them.

      Blue slip

      By Stringycheese · Posted

      Thanks for the response. This is an 04 EP3 Type R. JDM spec. Fairly certain they're just basic BC racing coils. I do plan to keep as the ride quality on stock I've been told is pretty meh given Sydney roads. If I were to go down that avenue, does NSW require them to be a certain spec (close to original) etc?

      Should have asked what is the car?

      Blue slip

      By PranK · Posted

      I've had two super conflicting experiences with blue slips. My 30 year old E39 waltzed through with no issues but my brother in law was knocked back on 12 y/o 3 series due to wiper blades and some cracking in a control arm bush.  What kind of coil overs? Do you want to keep them after?  If it was me I'd get some dirt cheap shocks and springs from eBay or scumtree. Not ideal but will get you over the line and might even be less than $1k.

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Hey guys,  Way back when (about 15yrs plus), I picked up a beautiful set of Tein 'Super Racing Spec Circuit Master RE' coilovers from Russman. I have legit never fitted them to my car, as it was garaged indefinitely while i bought a house Yada Yada. They look brand new! Anyway its time to pick up where I left off, and have started doing some khanacross and am booked in for a hill climb next month. The car has some hard af Nismo shocks in ATM, which has me wanting to upgrade again, and now I am left wondering if it's worth having these teins rebuilt? I think they where an ok shock back then, but how do they compare to what's on the market now?  Shockworks/mca are 2800+, and I am sure they are great. But if I can have these rebuilt and be better than, say, a set of bc's for around the cost of bc's, I would be happy with the performance v cost trade off.  If they are considered outdated and rubbish these days, so be it, I'll put them on the shelf and be happy to look at the pretty green colour while I save for the SW/MCA option. Grateful for your thoughts on the matter, and suggestions on who could do the rebuild if it's a worthwhile pursuit.  cheers, Rowdy.
