All up it cost 13 and no i dont regret it, sadly no eye fillets will be shared just yet you can just wait buddy... but definately enjoying it.

Ouch on the bill... But credit to you following through/ I still wouldn't suggest it to anybody.

What makes you suspect coil packs? I mean they sound dodgy but nothing wrong with the curve.. The power also sounds right for a de+t. What boost is that? Running E85?

Thats alright m8, eye fillets are over rated. Aged wagyu is where it's @. I feel more like some lobster anyways.  

Credit to you for going through with it and not just talking shit, although you do a fair bit of that too. You're alright Skippy.

 

13k, thats a lot of eye fillet, lobster, abalone, wagyu. You may have to eat baked beans out of a can for the next 6 months to try and let the wallet recover aye...

 

So, how much boost is that for 181kw?

Jesus. Why not put in a stock NEO motor and the same turbo as you've bought?

Then just throw in a set of 1000cc run the stock reg etc.

Would make a healthy 240/250kW on 98RON. 

Its on 10psi boost i beleive but i will have to double check that and not running e85 just yet but that will
Be one of the next upgrades, roughly 300kms to a tank atm [emoji28]
Mi goreng is gonna be my bestfriend for a while by the looks of it haha, once i get lil things done then drop a new motor in hopefully forged and put all parts into that then happy days from there.

You blokes dribble and just about as roudy as kim jong un but i apreciate all the advice given and i definately took it all into count. Cheers guys will keep you updated when i blow the f*kka [emoji14]

It isnt even that bad, all of that is trasnferrable to a DET motor being swapped in place later on if the DE+T does give up.

This just highlights how expensive modding a car turns out to be over time, most people don't do 'everything' all in one hit like that, doing it piece by piece is going to result in much the same cost, minus the Labor charge depending on how much you can DIY.

....why.....why do all this if you're getting a new motor?

I'm sure you're a good bloke mate but you've got rocks in your head. If you want to waste money like that can I please have some? I've got a long list for my car!

Because why buy a new motor now? Got all the aftermarket parts to chuck in the new motor when i get it, dont see the big rush on getting a motor lmao now or in a years time it would not make a difference to what i have spent on the car already

Oh wells at least he is happy [emoji4]
I'm sure I've done many wrong things too, like mod my shit box.
Should have just bought a 335i E90 BMW for the same money.

Dunno if the BMW is all that great anyway, other than comfort. I had no problem staying with an M4 with tune, tyres, brakes and a very experienced driver. At Phillip island we where separated by a tenth. Long live the shitboxes. My whole car with mods doesn't owe me much more than what Skippy spent in the last few weeks.

Enjoy the mi goreng Skippy[emoji12]

    • Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL
    • Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?
    • On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.
    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
