Yeap, you definately need too see how much boost your running, then adjust the controller from there :(

Glad your happy with the install... Thats was the quickest install so far..

Try find the original charcoal canister set up, will get rid of the mitsubishi charcoal can, and stop your weird idle problems...

Siddr20 has the same charcoal can as you, and makes it idle funny too...

Turn down the bleeder... It prob runs harder now as your boost controller wasnt hooked up right

what happend to the rest of the case if you only drank like 9 cans? also FTR a 700ml bottle of beam, a couple of big bottles of coke and a kettle is the way to go.

Im not sure????????? My buddy had a few cans. Im not a big drinker, i only drink every month or 2 months so 10 cans and im usually a bit under the weather........

Mr g,

Will hopefully be getting a fmic when funds allow and will probably be heading your way for an install. In you experiences which intercooler is easiest to fit out of the hybrid or just jap kits for an r32 gtst? Or for that matter is either a better quality?

^^^ In my opinion, the hybrid and the justjap kits do the same job at the end of the day.

I did an install for Gengis yesterday at his work (got shifty looks by some), and he bought the justjap kit... If you refer to his FMIC installed thread, he quotes that the car feels more powerful at the top end from the cooler, however you get abit less lag from the start. This is due to the extra volume you are trying to fill up when boosting, hence some guys tend to wind up the boost another PSI or so.

For the GTST, either the hybrid or justjap one is the same amount of time/ease to install. :)

By the way, you dont have to head out my way, I come out to you providing your in Sydney :D

      My thought is if you were just moving it forward and the upstream geometry remained the same, then no difference at all. But because the current one has the filter direct into the AFM inlet, you effectively have the best chance of a completely symmetric air flow profile upstream, and in, the AFM, whilst the aftermarket inlet thingo has a (small, to be sure) bend between the filter and the AFM. That would bias the flow to the outside of the bend (downstream of the bend) which might well reduce the size of the signal seen by the AFM, for the same total flow rate. Having said that: If you're proposing to make your inlet look like a hybrid of your existing one and the aftermarket one, such that there is no bend where the filter is clamped on... then I say it will be just fine. If there is going to be such a bend, then, if you can align the insertion of the AFM blade such that it is at right angles to the plane of the bend, then there is a better than even chance that the centreline velocity where the blade is will remain more or less the same, and the velocity will just be a little faster to the outside of that, and just a little slower to the inside. **This is not professional investment advice and you should consult a suitably qualified ouija board, tea leaves or the intestines of a goat for more accurate prognostication.

      Blue/grey smoke after idle

      By pacman_1219 · Posted

      Hi Tao, Thanks for your reply.  It's been a while and I managed to get the valve stem seals replaced with the head on the car.  Unfortunately this didn't solve my issue, the car still smokes a lot after idling (to be honest during idle you can see a bit of blue smoke from the exhaust), same after deceleration. I will try disconnecting the valve cover breathers, do I leave the PCV valve in? By engine oil drain pipe, do you mean the turbo oil drain?

      My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
