Don't get me wrong she's running and pulling hard at 18psi still. All temps and pressures are normal. Just seems to have lost a bit at say 6000 to 7000 under full load? Trevs? Kizza?

unless boost has increased then i'd think you'd be fine

Panicked when we got to Toodyay. Jack was like there is smoke coming out from under the bonnet. Wtf. Bonnet was a bit hot with no blanket underneath it was steaming the rain over the turbo off the top of the bonnet. Was just running up the hills in 5th and loading it up on the way there with the boost controller off. Used 4th for the hills on the way home at 14psi no probs. Different animal to the 4,9 5.8 5.0 and 5.4 lesson learned. Bugger all torque at low revs. think I will get rid of the 200cell catco oval and go to the venom 100cell with the 5" substrate. Tuning is beyond my nuts and bolts ability. Any thoughts? We ran sweet to and from Albany and did 1000kms pushing it hard. The original 100 cell metal cat copped a massive smash over a trainline bump at full speed the substrate came loose and flew into the exhaust melted and killed it and we popped a intercooler hose because it blocked the exhaust.(the weekest link) have swaged pressure tested and redone all the tubes and hoses with a intercooler flush. Would I need to retune between replacing the cats? Any advise would be appreciated. Thanks.

What ecu have you got?

Morning boys ,

Here you go - start at 10am -4.30

We can meet up at 9am Joondalup shopping centre ( Muzzbuzz ) Car park.
Take the new freeway extension from Joondalup straight to Neerabup.

Or any other suggestions ?

    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
    • BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
