Pretty sure the guy may be Ken M

I re-read and it actually never said hp or kw so that's my bad. He said stock turbo at first then later said he was using an eBay special, so who knows.

I've been helping a friend of mine for well over a 2-3 years regarding pulsar questions and opinions... I've tried to help him with so many things, get quotes for engine work, recommended mods, what he should do etc. At least one question a week. Went and bought an ok S15 for when he is off his p's, but still happy to spend money on cosmetic bits for the pulsar, planning for engine bay bits later (half of which he was going to buy off me). Now he wants to sell the pulsar with all mods attached at a loss, sell the S15 and get a MK5 R23 golf. FFS. I should have given up on him long ago. f**kin dream boats just go with the times. I should have known from the flatbrim, I just thought it was kids these days.

Stop being the fence sitter about Chequered. Aint nobody say HP in fact it says KW.

Seriously, my reply was too complicated for you?

No one said it was a Chequered customer, that was just Birds trolling.

I was simply stating the dude might have got mixed up as 210rwkw is not too far off the mark.

at no point you didn't think perhaps he was trolling ya I mean who really wants to mod a pulsar anyway?

he's a nice guy and i met him through pulsar meets... he spent big money on 90mm sleeves and pistons to go 2.2L... but has been talking about doing it for over 12 months. i even got quotes for him to do it.

i always stress to anyone thinking about modifying to consider goals/budget etc plus if you plan to keep the car. if you think your own car isnt worth fixing up... get a better one and swap the best bits over.

    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
