Same here, Supercharge but Gold series across all our cars for availability, warranty, cost, configuration variations and performance life. If I can't get these then only Century.

Would love to run the Supercharge AGMs in the Nissans but they don't have the pencil posts and varied post positions available like the Gold series.

Looking real nice!

I've moved away from Optima, they aren't of the same quality as they used to be!

I now run a SuperCharge battery (made for Stop/start applications and is an AGM battery - similar to an Optima), not to mention it's an Aussie brand with 3 year warranty.

All the in-laws' cars run their SuperCharge Gold range batteries, cheap and phenomenal warranty.

Cheers Johnny, shall look into it...

I bet you're excited!

Also I would recommend using some form of heat shielding OR wrap your dump/downpipe to prevent your O2 harness melting at the track.

when u say o2 are you referring to the wideband? same same...?!?

as that's just cable tied in that position now til we workout where it will enter the car...

excuse my dumbness, these are the sides of cars that I fail at...

Edited by mr_rbman

For the Wideband O2 sensor I just go through the existing egt floor bung and a Haltech O2 sensor wiring extension harness. Don't want to drill more holes in car than necessary.

ye that was my initial thinking...

just so I wrap my head around this, both a narrow band and wide band sensor are essentially both just o2 sensors correct!?!

Yes

Wideband gives you an actual afr / lambda ratio, narrowband just signals whether it's richer or leaner than Lambda 1 / AFR 14.7:1.

Clear as now, cheers Ben

Just delete the OEM narrowband junk, since you now have a modern ECU.

 

tis already gone, just the one wideband roughly 1000mm from turbo..

    • Hello Liam - HA - somewhere in flies - possibly I have an update, but I have been so busy, projects have taken a back seat to getting business back on track.  I will let you know the outcome, but I think I am going to go for the 8HP,  CHEERS.  ELVIS
    • Thanks Joshuaho96, yes - as someone else also suggested, the 8HP seems the 'smart choice' - HA - and ZERO to do with cost, but I am sure 8 speeds will be better than 6 speeds - HA - maybe.  I will purchase a new 8HP,  Thanks.  ELVIS.
    • Nobody said anything about getting a "...cheap Falcon box..."- it was JUST a question about a specific transmission.  And YOU may have a problem with not enough $ - HA - I do NOT - so please keep your comments like you are some financial guru to yourself.  BUT - much appreciated re the cost of a new 8HP and I twill probably be the way I go.  Thanks.  ELVIS.
    • Most people I know in the BMW world are swapping 6HPs for 8HPs. The 6HP has a big issue with one of the clutch drum bushings wearing out shockingly early which leads to them going into limp mode going into 5th/6th gear as the oil pressure loss from the worn bushing causes clutch slip. Even with the adaptations in shifting the TCU can't bump line pressure enough to keep the clutches from slipping and burning. I've personally looked at a 335d with 6HP28 with one owner and ~90k miles on it and the transmission adaptations were way out of spec and even though it nominally drove ok I'm confident it would have needed a full rebuild sooner than later. Other than that they're fine, but the 8HP doesn't really have weird issues like this to my knowledge and they're in everything these days so pulling them out of crashed cars isn't too hard.
    • There is an ABS pump and a few solenoids. You could trigger the front/rear solenoids with a pressure bleeder attached with a Consult 2.
