Nightcrawler2 Posted August 19, 2005 Share Posted August 19, 2005 Gorge Road, Greenhill Road, Gumeracha/Birwood/Mt. Pleasant run, Belair Road (all of these roads I refer to the parts in the hills). Glad to hear you got your car back mate. Bet the motor is nice and smooth and quiet!

Nozila Posted August 19, 2005 Share Posted August 19, 2005 Sam, when you get back to Adelaide want to go the route that we took through the hills on that cruise a while back. Has some nice roads, perfect for your run in. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/84675-good-roads/#findComment-1532985 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bl4cK32 Posted August 20, 2005 Share Posted August 20, 2005 pretty much take the back way from Victor Harbour, to Gawler...take your pick. Remember, running in a motor doesnt need speeding, just load on the motor, and vary the revs....

Nozila Posted August 20, 2005 Share Posted August 20, 2005 Yes we could. You'll be in Adelaide Sunday? If so then im up for it, 180 is getting road time atm. =D Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/84675-good-roads/#findComment-1533217 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cubes Posted August 20, 2005 Share Posted August 20, 2005 (edited) I drove mine up and down the sea front from south up as far north as I could go. Lots of low speed round abouts that see's nice loads when accelerating out. Did you end up wiring open the wastegate so you can get some nice load in to it? Its what I did and basically drove around flat foot N/A. Not one little bit of blow back, zero oil in the intake pipes. With the turbo connected you really can't get much load in to it without going overboard.

Sambo33 Posted August 20, 2005 Author Share Posted August 20, 2005 hi Cubes! i was going to ask Shaun about wiring the wastegate open, but i forgot... he said try to keep away from vacuum on the boost-guage, and to try and run it at 0 as much as possible. i found going up steep hills is good for this, also accelerating out of sweeping corners, & sometimes on straight roads i stop then start again. its a bit tricky, but im getting the hang of it Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/84675-good-roads/#findComment-1533943 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cubes Posted August 20, 2005 Share Posted August 20, 2005 Wire it open your self? You will need some s/steel wire and a little flat head screw driver to pull the circlip off. That way you can simply hold it down. Doesn't really go anywhere without boost but its easy to get a consistent load. Deceleration is also very bad. Drop it in neutral instead of using gears to slow down. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/84675-good-roads/#findComment-1533952 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sambo33 Posted August 20, 2005 Author Share Posted August 20, 2005 ok, i'll give it a shot. yep, every time i deaccelarate i kick it into neutral, or clutch in on shorter sections.

Cubes Posted August 20, 2005 Share Posted August 20, 2005 I can't remember... Is it a standard rebuild or you slapped in forged pistons to lower the comp? Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/84675-good-roads/#findComment-1533968 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sambo33 Posted August 20, 2005 Author Share Posted August 20, 2005 yep, i got CP forged pistons. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/84675-good-roads/#findComment-1533987 Share on other sites More sharing options...
