Same here, car tucked in the shed, get to it next year. 

Just makes me sad seeing all my new engine bits sitting there :(

Don't worry man, good things take time. Took me 1.5  years to build my motor and now there's a leak with the sump, probably be another 1.5 years till I fix that.

Decided to start getting things ready and removed the e85 out of it7061CE44-D40E-4BE8-BCCE-82F520FB3D91.thumb.jpeg.e5d3553913d0345cbef43097f3ce07db.jpeg

ive sold the e85 cause by the time I’m done it will probably be stale anyway 

i threw 20L of 98 in it and started it up 6B0BFA23-FB46-4ED2-9E71-469E8C7004F1.thumb.jpeg.78cc3b2c3f94dba4a67dd58450735367.jpegit’s now showing 5% ethonal so hopefully once I throw another 20L or so in there it should come close to zero

 

ps. 98 exhaust fumes f**king stink

We bought a new house and moved into it over Xmas, here is its current temporary living quartersE0DC9F37-483B-4567-9FF3-2E0F84B20D44.thumb.jpeg.7f261ed209484e0b16f66b23b0deb67e.jpeg

i sold the splitfire coils to a mate who had a set fail on him, currently has a set of old oem ones in there that don’t work but of corse will be getting upgraded. 

I have started ordering part for the new build and while waiting for the new workshop to be built and hopefully will have a hoist in it

Care to share the input file?

We couldn’t push the power any further last time it was tuned because even slightly more boost caused surge issues, I just think it’s couldnt get enough air out anymoreAC949C54-3041-41C6-9C43-61DA8F800D65.thumb.jpeg.594d858466b02fa4745891ccdbe07d0e.jpegWhich means out comes the exhaust cam

with the vcam taking all the over lap out the idle is still smooth but has a much deeper note and is a bit louder

And off come the turbos, you can see here the rear one has been spewing oil and explains why last time I changed the oil it was pretty low 1D1C9C3A-FFE9-443D-A383-A8D8F4072190.thumb.jpeg.d9c6683baa815792536522cdf365927b.jpegfront one out againE4899F5F-30BF-4855-A47D-D31C58EDF3FA.thumb.jpeg.dd9e52e262f76216f1fe05a5fa65426f.jpegand both gone530F6885-0959-421C-9FAE-A39E18C7C387.thumb.jpeg.34fc22075e3446d8f11008c086bc3107.jpegtook the cam cover back off just give myself more room for screwing around

    • There's a good German place in Brisbane if youre up for the drive 😛
    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋 
    • Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.
