Ahhh ok, are you having ignition issues?

not that I know about?

They said my exhaust could be 3.5" to allow for better flow,but it is 3.5" so I guess they meant 4" ,haha

I asked for the exhaust system to be quiet without restricting the flow, but now it seems to be too small for the 3.2, but ?

I'm sure it is torquey.....for a 2.6

but compare it to...oh I dunno a blown 6.2 LSA...both at road speeds and revs.

That's what I was getting at

What about a 8.8ltr with a 8/71 superchager in a Mach 1 mustang ?

I walked one of those by 2 car lengths from a rolling start, is that what you mean

  • Like 1

3.5 is probably too small pete.. I'd say you need a 4 inch for the first half.. 3.5 after should be fine

Will look into that tomorrow, thanks

If I change the exhaust now, will that throw the tune out ?

What about noise, in a small town I am toast if it pisses people off . Especially the boss

Had a chance this morning to go a little harder for a short bit.

Let it go @ 5000rpm, a little 4 wheel spin and away it went, into 2nd @ 6500 and a little spin and off it went, no lag :)

Mates road is not that long but will try a 6000rpm launch tomorrow and see how it goes, just to get the feel, cannot really test it, by the time I get to 6000rpm in 2nd, I have run out of asphalt road and his house gets in the way :w00t:

Hold the hand brake and slip the clutch a little just before you let go to build boost. If I can bake all fours with 300kw slipping at 5000rpm you should have no dramas.

I do that now, this coppermix is easy, well except for the hand brake :)

What tyres do you have on ? I just got a little spin at 5000 and did not expect any ?

I think with the Quaife front diff and the Trannie mods it makes it takes off like all the wheels are joining in the fun at the start ??

The difference I find without going to a full power type launch is it holds the line , no wobble just gets going where you are pointing it , before it would want to move around a bit more at the arse end.

I am not a real car bloke and find it hard to explain the difference, but it is easier now, smoother and feels balanced if that makes sense ?

Let you know what it is like at 7000rpm ish tomorrow, just have to find out :)

I'm running AD08's at the moment. My clapped out 4WD system probably doesn't help so you most likely have a fair bit more traction than I do.

If it doesn't bog down and just gets up and goes them I'm sure all is well.

Before the build I had 345awkw and it had to be 7000rpm not to get a bit of lag, would have been interesting to see how that worked with the new clutch.

I have some AD08Rs , 265/35 X 18 ready to go on.

Do you like your AD08s

Wouldn't have changed. 2.6 will always need rpm with that setup.

For me, anything above 5000rpm works but I guess little turbo's help.

That's the size I run and I love them. Awesome on the street and track.

what turbos do you have ?

Not having the torque I thought with a more forgiving clutch it would rev threw the initial engagement , instead of that on/off of the OS quad. Not sure what I mean,need a red :)

The coppermix isn't slipping, it's just nicer under the foot.

The clutch can't help the nugget 2.6 unfortunately. ;)

I did not say slipping, they engage as you want them to, slow or just let them go.

But who gives a shit, this car is a heap of shit the way it is, still wont go over 6000rpm without going tits up, so much for them fixing the problem on Monday, shit I had to stay another night in a Hotel for them to take it for a drive around the bloke , they should have put it on the dyno for fark sake !!!!!!

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
