Anyone know a decent auto elec that is mobile in Vic?

Not necessarily an "after hours cash only" style job, need a professional that can un-f**k a clusterf**k.

You and Pat

I dont know any mobile auto elecs, no. Will be taking pulsar to a motorsport wiring place to do stuff from scratch, seems like lots of auto elecs dont like f**king around with others peoples messes.

Also lol @ comparable deductions to other sparkies.
Claiming unnecessary performance mods for your car on tax is immoral. Like claiming dog food for security purposes.
Good luck to you, but youll probably get found out eventually and get reamed like Gregs R34 at Racepace.

If I'm gonna do it, should probably get it done before eofy.

Other thing to consider is warranty... Walkinshaw / harrop etc offer warranty, at a cost, haven't really looked into how it affects the manufacturer warranty if at all... But my mate recommended dynomotive or dpm, sounds like they offer more and better quality for less than walkinshaw etc...

Does their warranty cover your engine or just their component failing? Be surprised if any engine modification offered liability insurance against total engine failure given so many indirect variables can cause it.

Centrifugal chargers also have the tendency for an engine to not feel 'boosted' at all, a positive displacement charger you mostly feel down low, turbos give a big turbo kick we're all familar with

Centrifugal chargers just feel like a larger N/A engine, their power on a dyno is almost a completely straight 45 degree line. So you do get instant boost, but max boost is always at max engine RPM.

After installing turbos, my next car is going to be a supercharger setup.
Heat management > ALL.

A RB with a 300KW centrifugal charger instead of a Turbo would probably drive like a similarily powerful V8 N/A (like a LS1-2)
Except way less problems with heat, lines, plumbing, etc.

If I was adding F/I to a car which didn't ordinarily have F/I (like a S2000?) a centrifugal charger suddenly becomes really very viable.
 

I think there's a handful of people who have done supercharged RB's.... I don't think any of them recommended it.

 

Hell even the supercharged SR20 people usually go turbo afterwards. Same with F20 Honda motors

Engines too small.. by the time you add a charger you're making it struggle even more, say hello to your RB15 (1.5L, that's the joke) 

Is there any point spending money on a EJ257? from my research looks like minimal gains (intake exhaust tune ~35whp?) Asking for... a friend.

Pls just stop

Changing the forced induction method on a vehicle that came factory with FI is very silly

Superchargers have a constant lag of their own that is just negated by the power gains when they start making a little boost. You'll notice it on a smaller engine and fuel economy will suffer even if not giving it stick

If you want that supercharger whine just do a gilmer drive or smash your air con compressor with a hammer until it whines

E85

Should be first stop for any decent FI power gains. Improve performance absolutely everywhere!

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
