  1. make sure you torque them up properly and bleed.
  2. won't work with R32 or S13, will work with S14/15 R33/34 Better off getting an AI surge tank Mike, like this one: http://www.aftermarketindustries.com.au/surge-tank-kits--accessories-c1/-surge-tank-sp800-p212/ Run your Walbro E85 pump in that, and get a smaller pump for the tank (lift). Even with dual in-tank pumps on a R32/S13 style fuel tank you'll still have surge issues if you generate enough G-Force around a corner.
  3. last one, flap gap
  4. didn't I say the SARD FPR isn't that good? I doubt the injectors are nearly out.. it's because your fuel pressure is all over the shop up top. I found that when I changed my FPR I ended up with richer mixtures and needed to fix up my VE table.
  5. HICAS is gay, get rid of it man.. it will make the car so much better to drive.
  6. MCA X-Series start at $1900 but I got mine at trade price hehe
  7. Harro, (please note, this is not a sponsored review and I do not have any affiliation with MCA) So I did a quick search on SAU but there really isn't any proper discussion and/or review with MCA coilovers or specifically X-Series coilovers. Without being able to locate any reviews on the X-Series coilovers, I took the plunge and went straight into them and purchased the X-Race coilovers. MCA says the X-Series coilovers are valved more aggressively than the MCA Blues which are destined more so for the everyday street weekend warrior, stanced up hard parked vehicles that generally want comfort and adjustability. Neither of the previous is what my R33 GTS-t is destined for, it's a track slart and a track slart it will remain. Best time my car has ever achieved at Wakefield Park by my friend has been 1m12.7s for myself 1m13.5s - this is the benchmark! So taking the product advertisement (as above).. I went on and purchased a set of MCA X-Race in 10kg front and 7kg rear springs, knowing that any softer for the track would result in undesired body roll, weight shift, etc. I know this goes against all the information with other suspension gurus but I've tried those setups and cannot get the optimum handling performance I wanted (Whiteline 24mm ARBs, Bilstein Shocks, Lower Springs, Adjustable castor rods, Adjustable rear camber, HICAS eliminator). At Wakefield, the car would roll too much, the front would dip too much on hard braking and ultimately flicked the car around like a rag doll. Coming out of corners, the car would shift all of it's weight to one side (and front when braking heavily) which ended up sideways. I knew I needed stiffer spring rates to combat this. So, the coilovers came and I installed them the same weekend they were delivered, so far so good.. very good build quality (however the brackets to hold brake lines looked to be universal and made to fit these coilovers, not a big deal - however if you look at BC ones they look nicer but this has nothing to do with the performance of the coilovers). They also appeared to be preadjusted in terms of height and also damper. I just installed them as is which resulted in the car looking a little wonky, the rear was heaps higher than the front but that could have been caused by the new harden subframe bushes I put in which sit a little different to the OEM product. I dropped the rear by 15mm which resulted in a more optimum height. At the same time, I purchased the extenders, shorten them and let them poke through the parcel tray for ease of adjustment. Nearly looks cool LOL Moment of truth...... Comfort: With dampers set to 4 Front and 6 Rear, the bumps and oscillations are absorbed very well. No bouncy feeling and actually very streetable. I would dare say the comfort is nearly the same as my previously Bilstein setup, of course when you hit a pothole or reflector on the road it will be more harsh than the Bilstein setup but I try to avoid hitting those things in general. Comparison: I will compare these to BC BR in the standard 8kg/6kg flavour (unknown damper settings) the MCA X-Series in 10kg/7kg actually is more comfortable on the street.. even I was surprised, I was ready to smash my spine to bits on the street but I am also amazed and pleased with the shock's ability to articulate different bumps and dips in the road like the Bilstein shock did. Street Handling: Not much has changed really, but then again at street speeds I can't really tell the difference as I run full semi-slicks on a daily basis (Nitto NT01) and also I'm not going fast enough to really benefit from the the coilovers. Track Handling: TBA - have not gone yet, but will update this thread once I hit up Wakefield Park again.. might do a Speed off the Streets session before EOY. More to come!!
  8. still, your gap is too big.
  9. wow that's pretty hardcore, never seen such features in mainstream ECUs, then again they're mainstream for a reason.
  10. not yet, but I should! However I just installed 10kg front springs now which would reduce the likelihood of the ARB bracket snapping as the oscillations would be reduced from the stiffer spring rates.
  11. lol what a hater, I gave you measurements for nothing I use a Turbosmart FPR1200 anyhow. Got that Sard FPR free so I used it.
  12. if you have not bought the PowerFC look into getting something more advanced/modern with basic engine protection such as lean out, knock protection, low oil, over temp etc.
  13. don't do it, you'll want to stab yourself in the eye afterwards. Just go top feed, 1/2 height ones fit under the plenum nicely and you can get all black fittings rail etc.
  14. get a new FPR too I made the mistake of using a SARD FPR Type-LJ whatever theyr'e called
  15. I noticed one thing, you have a SARD FPR... those things aren't that good. I replaced my SARD FPR with a Turbosmart 1200 FPR and AFRs were more steady on WOT and also my fuel map could be smoothed out
  16. woof! X-Series MCA with 10kg fronts and 7kg rears Since the BC thread gets loving, time to bump up the MCA thread
  17. be a little dodgy, bump up the base fuel pressure
  18. but I don't like the 3" to 4" to 3" business Unless you wanna make me another but in 4"? aahahaha
  19. Going rich as you reach peak torque and at peak torque will prevent knock, especially on 98RON. I assume that was done on purpose. On E85, that doesn't matter so much... I personally tune my car and my mates car using the same technique.. as it approaches max torque and is at max torque AFRs are in the 11.5 region and as torque dies down it leans up to nearly 12
  20. get a better ECU, run flex I run 98RON most days and days I hit up the track I bring down 4x jerry cans of E85.. smash that, then drive to the servo and cruise back home on 98RON.
  21. yep, and it only happens when there are heaps rapid oscillations such as running off the track lol. I was hoping an off the shelf solution, similar to what I posted about how s chassis cars go about it.
