And you didnt come and buy it off me bah!

Damn I should have turned up Just need maybe 1/2 a psi of boost to beat that 344hp

hows your car going aidwin?

Evening... niz, my car hardly starts after being turned off for only 10-15 minutes. ie: I'll jump out to go to the shops, park, shop and then get back in car and I have to force feed it a lot of throttle to get it to kick over or I get a huge backfire (and scare little old women like I did last week) hopefully steve as a fix for my wolf3d soon

as per my signature, the only upgrade to my fuel system was a bosch 910 fuel pump, stock injectors, stock fuel regulator. The injectors are at roughly 70% duty cycle. The trust td06 or a garrett gt30 is probably the go for your turbo upgrade.

I just find it hard and annoying to read, my pillar mounted HKS unit is so much easier to read and look at while I am driving.

For the day usually costs me between $100-$150, depending on how shit the gun is or if its a good gun how trigger happy I am. Most places have packages that start around the $50+ mark, which gets you a gun, overalls and a mask (guys you need to provide your own box, trust me you need one) and your first round of ammo (about 100-200 balls). The biggest problem I have found is most places have over-used/poorly maintained equipment (tends to happen as the guns cop a hammering cos hardly anyone handles them carefully) so what tends to happen is you get stuck with a gun that jams, shoots curve balls or blows the ball in the barrel all the time. That all said and done its still a great game and for the first time gumby its a great adreline rush as you jump behind a bush or tree and see the paintballs flick past just missing you, but with all the fun comes the pain The paint balls arnt hard, they just travel at stupidly fast speeds so when it hits you at close range it'll bruise hence the need for a full face mask (you can lose an eye if you dont keep it on) and a box for the gents Its great fun guys and I highly recommend it

Looks good alan, whats happening with the engine/turbo?

They arnt bad. You can set the boost level by rpm, so have lowish boost at low rpm to help get off the line without too much wheelspin and then higher boost in the mid-high rpm. I use the blitz sbc type s and it works very well, combined with my external wastegate they hold boost dead flat across the rpm range.

I'm chasing 2 18x8 or 18x9" rims, preferably 5 spoke, anyone got anything they want to sell?

Evening

Coventry's do the bosch pumps from memory, the 910 is cutting the mustard for me, running 340hp currently and my stock injectors are only touching 70% duty cycle without a fuel pressure reg.

Personally I wouldnt let them drive it at all. Take them for a spin, if they want to feel the performance you do the trashing. Be smart, if someone who has never driven your car before gets behind the wheel and isnt used to the way it drives, handles and feels and they bin it, what are you going to do? End of the day, dont let them drive it.

td06-20g with a 8cm^2 exhaust housing... either way you got make sure it has a T3 flange and it will bolt into the stock manifold, for good boost controll you want an external wastegate, but if the budget wont stretch that for just go for an internal gated turbo but maybe a HKS wastegate actuator with a nice stiff spring.

Hmm... odd... paul's car was doing quite well with 360hp and mine is going fine with 340hp... touch wood.

Adam, we used a guy called Robert Reeves (his business name is Robert Reeve Photography) I highly recommend him, I think it cost us somewhere around the $2500 mark but there are cheaper and dearer options depending on what you want.

Not bad... hows yourself?

Hey brett

Well done mate, join the married crowd

Evening

Hey paul, been to SST today?

Hello all... the quick post reply box is back

I actually had the turbosmart ultra gate welded onto my exhaust housing. do a search in this thread for "trust td06 stage 1" and that should bring up a link with some photo's of how it was done, if you cant find them PM me and I will email them to you. This way it can be bolted onto the stock manifold without too much modification, from a flow point of view though you want to get rid of the stock exhaust manifold as its flow is shite.

The rims look good hey paul... shame I dont have another 2 for the front... oh and shame about the side skirt too heh, I think I might have buggered up my shockies too, might need some new koni's

Must have been before the turbo went on. Its odd, for all you hear about how reliable and bullet proof the rb25det is there are a few that have failed/failing on stock turbo's... must be poor maintainence prior to being owned by one of us.
