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?

      Sorry, are coilovers ACTUALLY ILLEGAL in NSW? They aren't in Vic, as long as they retain 70% of stock travel and the car is above 100mm off the ground. Does NSW actually have a law making coilovers actually illegal? RWC/Blue Slip/Engineering people not knowing the actual f**king laws boils my blood. Demand them to point to the documentation that states a coilover is illegal. (it may exist in NSW )

      But seriously, can we ask for the results of the "tip a bottle of metho into a nearly empty tank" experiment?

      Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.

      Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.
