  1. when i was installing the gcg high flow tubby, i span the wheels, and they didnt really feel that free rolling, however, now its in the car, i can hear the turbo spin down for about 5-8 seconds when you turn off the engine ... the plain bearing did not do this ! i can only put it down to the free rolling now the turbo has oil in it !
  2. As the title says, i had the hks ssql bov modded to allow plumb back ... see the pic below : Plumback works well, bov is in fully working condition, just want something a bit more stealthy ... includes the adapter plate for R33 gts-t and the piping, basically what you see in the pic you get ... $300 inc shipping to domestic AU cheers
  3. now, i'm a membrt of the SES, and as part of our training we had to learn all about hydraulics, its been a while since i learnt about pascals theory from physics in school, so i read up about it, and can now apply the pascal theory to a BOV. A BOV will open up when there is vacume pulling on it, there is a spring in side that allows this operation only at a pre determined vacum pressure ... in a similar way, it is closed when above atmospheric pressure is applied to it ... the simple matter is, when you run MORE boost, there is no way for the bov to leak, as an equal amount of pressure is closing the value as to the amount of pressure being applied to try and open it from the bov inlet side ... is my thinking correct here so far ? so if this is true, there is NO performance gain over having an aftermarket bov, there is no LOSS to keeping the standard bov as in pascals theory, it is unable to leak .. aparently simple physics determins it true .... have i got it all wrong ? comments anyone ? cheers
  4. tis also so sale on ebay, will end early for sau buyer ... =bump
  5. yeah, will see what they are like when they turn up, but their website talk about how they do a FULL service on all the injectors, replacing all the o rings etc ... will let you all know how they go !
  6. sounds either like a coil pack, or the ecu is overfuling WAAAY too much - this could be for a number of reasons. ... check coil packs firstly
  7. jusy had 100% confirmation from deatschwerks that these injectors are a direct swap on the rb25, no modification needed what so ever !! nice
  8. i could do with left and right headlights - well, i just need the clear plastic bits on the front ... this possible ?? if so, price pls .. ta
  9. see my post regarding cheap injectors !! ish
  10. i'd be looking at at the battery, failing that, the alternator before doing much more ...
  11. this is basically an anti lag system you are talking about .... didnt realise they were so cheap ! cant do the exhaust turbine much good tho ...
  12. from an auto s14, sr20det, 370cc reported to have been flow tested and in good condition from the guy i got them from. i have 2 sets of 4 Will sell all 8 for $350 pm me if interested cheers
  13. Well, i just bought some 550cc injectors, and await them to ship to me from the good old states ... $405USD for fully cleaned, flow tested, and matched to within 3% of each other ... they are a direct drop in replacement for the rb25 !!! available upto 650cc ! http://www.deatschwerks.com/products.html just letting you guys know as this does seem like a pretty good deal ... and they take paypal !
  14. Front Mounted InterCooler
  15. personally i'd go for the 4wd ... the r33 i have at the moment sometimes struggles for grip in the dry ! rwd is fun for 'drifting' it out, but as we all know, drifting is not exactly the fastest way around a corner ... just my 2c
  16. bump - offers ?
  17. thx, i have no idea what power its making ... not had it on the dyno ... am waiting till i have everything right until it gets the pfc and a tune ... i'd recommend the gcg, only took me half a day to install it !!!
  18. total cost was $1950 the price of the tubby ... plus a fwe $ for gaskets and copper washers .. i also changed the oil at teh same time, was about time to do it ... when i took off the water lines, basically the content of the rad pissed out, so replaced all the coolent as well .. i already have 3" turbo back, walbro pump, hks pod, evc 4, and a pfc and malpassi fpr, and 480cc injectors waiting to be installed....
  19. in a word - yes i have used this evc for years on many different turbo cars, i had friends with bleed valves, and i can honestly say that i would not use a bleed valve ... dont get me wrong, there is nothing really wrong with the bleed valve, but the evc learns the boost curve of your turbo, and closes the wastegate at the right time for your turbo thus getting maximum boost at low revs ... well, in the seat of my pants this is how it feels ... gotta go and do a learning run in a moment actually as now have the gcg high flow fitted, the evc needs to know how it performs ...
  20. have removed the turbo, it is a version 4 ... the latest one .... aparently ..
  21. the hks evc4 manual states that the solonoid will not work unless the serial number matches the in cabin control unit .... nice of them to do that huh ...
  22. i JUST fitted a GCG high flow, and can say that while the response is slightly down the mid range power when it does come on is awesome.... this is all before a tune as well, so am keeping it to a respectable .9 bar not really that cheap tho ... but excellent plus factor that you dont have to stuff around with anything else to make it fit as its externally identical !
  23. i was thinking more in the line of - what needs to come off, how fiddly is it to take off the top of the plenum etc ....
  24. have pm'd you
