Now featuring a guy who believes that science...er...proves the theory of evolution to be...wrong?

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.

    • Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is may e 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Dose anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys
    • Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?
    • My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.
    • There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.
    • I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.
