mc

nice car btw..

:shake:

Thanks for the compliment *grin*

Damn....maybe I should have stopped if I knew people from here were there...said hello and the like.

Anyways, its a flat 6, 3.3 litre wih 169kW

The brakes are not up to the weight of the car so can get a bit scary on the winding bits but the AWD is great.

Was it an Old Pac run??

Word of advice. Id steer clear of OPH for a while.

There is a police operation on that section of road for the next few months.... you can probably guess why.

The meetings at Thornleigh maccas in numbers are risky also.... 2 out of the last three times i have arrived in thornleigh maccas on a friday or sat night i have rolled in to find at one stage 12 highway patrol cars lined up......scary.

Its a heavy bugger...1650kg unloaded and with auto means that not quick off the line but once up and moving its quite rapid.

The glass is bonded to the chassis so you can't see any pillars and the roof is black, as is the rear deck, which adds to the illusion that the entire top of the car is glass (thankfully not since already hot enough as it is!!)

Sold new here from 1992 - 1997 - just over 200 odd were sold and 97 currently registered in NSW

My favourite feature are the windows within windows....120/130kph and no buffeting..and quiet at err....higher speeds on private roads :uh-huh:

A WRX engine??? Thats a step backwards!!:)

Have brought it up the old Pac a few times but could not push it till I had a transmission cooler fitted (which is now on it!) but the brakes tend to fade quite rapidly.

Cops hiding in driveways?? On the Old Pac???

Hmmm.......the hoons must be hiding somewhere since I often just cruise around and have to content myself with racing taxi's and STA buses....damn their torque!!:)

      Cas issue

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.

      Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.

      boost source Size Garrett gt28 gen2

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
