I feel these days (my personal opinion, please DYOR), especially with most of these cars on E85 that single channel EGTs are not as important as measuring EMAP / TIP. EGTs are great, if you're measuring across all cylinders to determine equal combustion across all cylinders however the temperature isn't as important when on E85.

It's night and day difference in terms of performance and sound. I didn't go for the silent version, which has the motor externally mounted (cbf installing and we don't plan to live here "that long"). This one is just the conventional style one with the motor sits inside the enclosure. The motor has a lower frequency when operating and you can tell is more refined. Inside there's even an oil catch under the motor which is pretty cool. Will give it a real test this weekend searing a steak 🙂

Long time no house update. So as some of you guys might remember, I ran out of time to find an older house to renovate and ended up with a new duplex built by your typical "property developer" 🙄 Poorly built, heaps of cheap shit appliances but looks good on the eyes kind of place. Anyhow, being Asian and constantly frying food we needed a better rangehood. The junk that came with the house was too small, and also flowed like 250m^3/h at full tilt not to mention sounds as loud as an outdated Soviet jet. Out with the old, in with the new. Schweigen dis dat, 1000m^3/h should help with my cooking (no, I don't eat dog). Why did I use hand tools? My son was having his midday nap. It was sure hard work!

Another BK R32 GTR money pit...
Dose Pipe Sutututu replied to BK's topic in Members Cars, Project Overhauls & Restorations
at the moment yes, and so far (from the very limited driving) there hasn't been any issues yet - time will tell. It's a -12 return. BK is now patiently waiting for a new thread "Just blew my turbo, should I go G40-900 or 6266?" LOL -

All valid points as listed, however (this is just my opinion) since the turbo is off and all, it's not a huge investment to have your oil pressure always fixed for the turbo. I would imagine the seals would prefer that rather than varying pressure. When my 2nd motor went in, I got the guys at Birrong to install the OPR right after the oil feed and then have it drained back into the sump on the turbo oil return. Just makes the engine bay look a tad neater -

Just run an oil filter and an oil pressure regulator for the turbo and enjoy many years of fun. At least it won't spit out turbine wheels if you run too much boost or run them on a hot day or hit the limiter or yell at your car. -
Agree with the Camtech stuff, just sounds great insert hectic braps to attract the boys to the yard. The Apexi camshafts (didn't even know they made camshafts) seem to have better specs on paper, lift is king! I can see why you're in a pickle, because on paper the Apexi cams have greater lift than the Kelfords.

Pull AWD Oil Pan (GTS4 / GTR) while engine is in Car?
Dose Pipe Sutututu replied to corbic's topic in General Maintenance
You'll be silly to, much easier to remove the motor/gearbox all as one unit. -
Nistune it, then convert to a single R35 card AFM... but why? just get a Haltech 750 if you're on a budget.

Was there at 8:45AM, all the school kids and dreamers still in bed or waiting for their mothers to make them breakfast.

I miss the days when E85 was like $0.90 tops. First trip to United, post plastic surgery and make over.
