better yet, put an hks stencil on it, imagine the power gain then! personally i like the wank factor of the silver cooler, then again i have a black car, so a black cooler would blend right in. i really like the look of a clean silver SII with a cooler mounted nicely behind the front bar, but that might be just me

Another option you could look at is getting high flows from deatschwerks. Last set of 13b injectors I saw were around $300 or so if I remember properly, whereas deatschwerks only charge around $600 (cant remember exactly how much I paid as it was quite some time ago) and then when you receive their injectors, you send your old stock ones back to them and they give you a rebate. Unless the 13b injectors have been ultrasonically cleaned and flow tested I would go the deatschwerks as the extra pieces + messing around involved in the 13bs, combined with the fact you are getting an old injector that you will have to get cleaned and tested (well not have to, but I would advise it) amounts to a higher cost, higher risk and more effort which IMO isn’t worth the $200 or so you will end up saving (depending on what must be done, purchase price etc). Some people don’t like high flows, but I’ve used them on 3 cars and they have all performed beautifully and drop straight in.

sold pending payment

well you can modify your existing manifold, or you can use one of these http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ZT-Speed-Fa...sspagenameZWDVW or you can get an exhaust shop to fab one up for you

dammit i need these!!! if anyone can help please shoot me a PM

As the title says, I have up for sale the stock turbo off my Series 2. It also comes with the inlet elbow. Im asking $300 ono, for contact its best to call me as I cant always get on the net. Phone number is 0415658595. Location is Melbourne, may be able to arrange drop off depending on location, otherwise pickup is fine. Can also arrange postage depending on arrangements Cheers Ryan

^^^ +1 i use the soot to cover the small scratches i got when i reversed in2 a bush. if i were you id check the cat, will only take 10 mins, iv got a straight through system and it loves spitting black clouds

for that you would want a gt30, slide performance sells them at a damn good price, give him a call

gtrs is a an awesome turbo, but if your looking at turbos that size of what you suggested i would seriously consider a slide highflow, they are awesome for the price and bolt back on with minimum mods. i put one on a mates car and it took me under a day including stocker removal and the thing hauls

yeah, iv never run a car without one so im going to give it a bash and see, i heard that because the level of air within the piping is at a higher pressure so it aids in turbo response as there isnt such a great pressure deficit to make up yeah, when i held the throttle down and kept turning the key it would eventually spring to life and then keep running provided i kept the throttle open. then as soon as i took it off itd die, i think mafia and grigor hit the nail on the head, just got back from bunnings, snatched some pipe to make the bung, now just to fix that leaking gasket lol

Nah running no BOV, I want MAD FLUTTER STYLEZ BRO!!!#$%^%$# Actually, I have elected to run no bov after reading an article by, hmmm im trying to remember i think it was nizpro concerning the use of BOVs. Its more of a trial thing really. If not ill just weld in a flange for my SSQV

Hahahaha mate, I'm stupid..............but not THAT stupid.lol. :laughing-smiley-014: Dammit, looks like im going to have to crack out the old welder tonight after footy training. Gotta love getting home at 10 after running around for 2 and a half hours to then have 2 pull out the welder and throw on the leathers

No offence taken about the laughing, like I said i just need help (note to mafia: that didnt help) Anyways, nope I sold off the old injectors, put the stockies in, got new set waiting in th wings. As for the IAC Valve, like i said before this is the first turbo I have had to fab up a new crossover pipe for a turbo setup so yeah I had no idea of that stuff. I don't claim to be a genius with this stuff, all I do is bolt up the pieces and put the puzzle together, this time I tried something a little harder and I have f***ed up. If anybody has some constructive advice, please shoot it at me, otherwise Ill just weld on a neck like the one on the stockie pipeing. Cheers, Ryan

Hey guys, thanks for the help. I’m running the stock ecu at the moment just so the car can limp to the tuners as the PFC was tuned for a completely different setup and I don’t have a hand controller to make the appropriate changes (different sized injectors, turbo and afm). The AFM is stock to run with the stock ECU (replacing with q45 on 4 inch intake) grigor, firstly, thanks for reading it, i know it was MASSIVE wasn’t it lol but I wanted to make sure I was as clear as possible, ill be realising it in a leather bound series later in the year, may organise a GB later. Ill try and get a picture to explain which pipe I’m talking about, I didn’t know that was related to idol, can you explain more about it please as all pervious turbo installs/work I have done have bolted to the stock pipeing. Sorry if any of this seems a little noob guys, I’m just asking as much as I can and sucking up all the info so I can exhaust every possible issue when I get home tonight and hopefully get this thing back on the road Cheers, Ryan

Hey people, I’m begging somebody, ANYBODY, please HELP ME!!! I know there is a lot of reading but I really am at my wicks end with this and I’m desperate to get it back on the road. Over the past 3 weeks I have been putting on a new turbo setup (HKS 3037). It’s been one small issue after another (as these things normally are) and that combined with my busy schedule has meant it’s taken a lot longer than anticipated. Last night I was able to put the finishing touches on it after work (I got home at 8, boo for working in the city!) and I go to turn it on and my battery (admittedly it is quite old and on its last legs) is dead. So I charge the battery over night and plan to get up early today to start the car, leaving it idol for 30 mins or so in order to flow oil/water through all the new lines etc and to bleed any air pockets that may have formed in the radiator, and to then drive it to RE Customs for its tune. Anyway I turn the key and the starter motor turns over which is an improvement on the previous night, but then nothing more happens, the starter motor just keeps turning over. I then try again and keep it turning over while giving it some throttle and the engine eventually turns over once and then just more starter motor, then it turns over twice, then more starter motor, then it hesitantly starts to turn over and then proceeds to pick up its revs according to the amount of throttle I have on, but then as soon as I take my foot off it instantly dies. After this I quickly checked all connections that I had to disconnect when I was doing the install to see if I had forgotten one but they all seemed fine so now I don’t know what to do! I caught the train/bus to work but I am desperate to get my car back on the road. Heres any info I could think of concerning things I did while I was working on the car that I think might help diagnose the problem, basically anything I did ill put up as I am completely stumped: - Removed ignition loom while installing splitfires but double checked and all seems fine to me - I removed the plugs that are next to the throttle and atop the plenum (ones purple, ones brown and I think there is a black one but I may be mistakes, I have no idea what they do, they are part of the wiring loom) but double and triple checked them and they seem fine - Disconnected AFM and installed new intake pipe to turbo inlet and then reconnected AFM - Removed the engine fan and installed a thermo (entire fan assembly including viscous hub went) - Switched exhaust temp sensor over into the new dump pipe - Upon installation of new manifold, 3 studs broke but I didn’t bother to replace them as my priority was to get the car back on the road (I was going to replace them after the car was tuned and running on the road as I cant deal with the inconvenience much longer) however I did layer the new gasket in copper coat spray as well as that copper sealant goo as a temporary safety measure/bandaid - Installed all new lines (oil and water) - When I installed my new crossover pipe I had to block off the bypass pipe that runs to the back of the plenum as well as the vac line from the bov - Had to slice the aircon overflow line to get manifold on, but then I reconnected it using a joiner and hose clamps - When installing new lines I lost a bit of water and oil but nothing substantial. I was going to do an oil change and install an oil cooler and new filter and put in a new JJR rad after the car was back on the road so didn’t top either up Well that’s about it, I really am sorry for all the reading but I am DESPERATE to get the car back on the road. Iv never taken my car to a mechanic for anything other than a tune as I prefer to work on my car myself and learn more about it along the way, with the bonus being I save the $$ as well as being rewarded with the feeling of accomplishment you get when you complete it (sounds lame I know, but its true) but I am just about at my ends. I don’t want to trailer my car down to the mechanic, only to let them tinker with something simple and then invoice me for exorbitant amounts of money. So here it is, my plea to you SAU, could somebody please help me get my pride and joy back on the road. Thanks in advance, Ryan

hey people, i have two official HKS wastegate springs for sale to suit a 50mm external gate. both are different loadings, one is 18 psi and the other has a loading of 15 psi. im asking $40 a spring, these are an abosolute bitch 2 get hold of so save yourself the effort and get them here cheers ryan

hey mate iv got some im not using from my HKS 3037 (same turbo your using if i remember properly), cant remember what their made of but i can check out when i get home from work tonight if your still interested

yeah just get an rb30 gasket, i got one from Bursons for $4, just chop it so you have individual ports, also if you want to be sure spray it with some of that coppercoat manifold gasket spray (there are a few similar products around)

hey mate ill take it, PM sent

hey mate i know you say pickup only but would you be willing to ship the clamps if ill foot freight costs? cheers ryan

wow look at all this great stuff, maby ill buy some...............

Are you kidding me!? I filled up there last night on my way to Pakenham to see a mate. If this is true I’m going to severely maim and disfigure whoever is responsible. The bottom line is you should get what you pay for end of story, and considering I just unloaded sixty odd dollars on them when I could have just as easily gone down the local Safeway servo, gotten the mud they use and saved even more money by using a docket. I didn’t really notice a difference in my car, but then again I was jus cruising at low revs, tacho peak at the end of the trip was 3.8k

another good place to get a full line kit is 6boost from the calaisturbo.com.au forums, thats where i get all my gear from, top bloke, trustworthy and awesome service

hit it with a sledge hammer, thats what i did to your.......i mean NOT yours the other day
