so currently my car has a turbo back exhaust and pod filter and boost hits about 11psi and drops to 10, im about to install a jjr return flow intercooler will it make the boost go up again? I know the stock ecu has a shit fit if theres too much boost, should i get a boost t to prevent that from happening? or should it be ok...

A 'boost teee' isn't going to get you less boost.

I don't think you'll see anymore than 1 psi or so increase with a different cooler, if any at all.

Ah k yeah I get what you mean, should have thought about that, thanks

Didn't think it would go too crazy, just read things about having too much boost on stock ecu, but I guess it's people turning it up themselves

When you planning on hitting the track Toffy?

honestly im not totally sure mate , i want the car tuned by the end of the month with all the goodies on it i've accumulated , it only needs indicators for the front and a rear ball joint (and wheels, which are on another car) to pass rego which will be done next week , then i can go to town on it :D . hopefully early Feb i want to take it out on a practice day/private track day or whatever you call it to do a little test and tune , then im hoping to make the first drift prac . it could all go to poo if something goes wrong with the car though , but that's my aim :)

When will yours be out and tearing up the track?!

I hate setting goals as I always seem to underestimate how much time things will take, but the good news is that everything is starting to go back in the car. I'd like to say it will be track ready by the end of the month but there's a couple of potentially time consuming things that are out of our control, so we'll see what happens :)

installed my return flow fmic wasnt too hard just takes a lot of fiddling around, doesnt help being massively hungover...

pretty happy with it just went for a drive and pretty surprised by the temp diff on either pipe.

next to change my thermostat and coolant then onto powercruise :D

hmmm so i changed my thermostat and bled the system ect ect, then went for a drive and then looked under the bonnet to see that coolant was coming from between the thermostat housing and block, so looks like the gasket sealant i used didnt work/i didnt use enough.

that is what i used, left it overnight and then filled with coolant.

cause i have to do it again, should i use that stuff again?

i also have this:

which would be better, i found that the first stuff i used, you couldnt use alot cause it would just drip, sort off cause it was too much like a liquid...

rb thermostat gaskets are pretty hard to do with sealant

it took me about 5 goes to do the stagea

the easiest way is to spend $3 on an actual gasket from supercheap

ha ha i was annoyed already at having to do it twice! 5 would make me crack the shits!

but i used the ultra grey and it would perfect.

had no problems at powercruise :D

    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
    • Lock me in mate, although I'm not sure if I'll be heading up from Goulburn or down from Sydney, either way, return will be back to Goulburn 
    • Sounds good, we will aim to be there! @The Bogan I'll give you a shout if you are heading up to campbelltown for the meet too.
    • Before I get to the test day, just to finish off the android head unit. This is a demo from car start up....the standard/host system takes a few seconds to boot (same as all v37) but Android comes up quickly. In this vid I'm using the delivered launcher but have set the default to Agami since which is easier to navigate when if use primarily 5 apps. You can see the host system still takes over when required eg putting it in reverse, and you can switch between Android and not by holding the back button 3 sec. It is pretty responsive (fast) but you can see I had to press harder than expected a couple of times.  I still have the phone connected to the stock system, and that also seamlessly takes over Android music playing. v37-android-demo.mp4 The bigger reason that I put this in though is so that I can use Ecutek directly on the head unit. That gives me a dash with logging (up to 20MB only), high and low value warnings on any parameter etc etc. I've run a USB cable from the Ecutek OBD dongle to a USB input on the unit, easy. v37-ecutek-demo.mp4   The unit did freeze on the launcher the other day, I think Agami was trying to verify the license when it didn't have a data connection...will monitor and report back if there are any other problems but so far I'm very happy with the upgrade.
    • Nah that is just crappy GPS mapping, I did have a small excursion (cold tyres, damp track, surprise!), will post up that when I get a chance.
