  1. You asked where Royston Vasey was, you didn't ask where I was!!!! Big difference
  2. pretenders [i always thought that the Darkness was sh1t, mob of 'still in the closet' homo's]
  3. Thanks mate, I'll try them and see what they can do.
  4. William [well...Billy actually]
  5. Off topic, but: I actually just did some research on indy cars: Indy cars are ethanol fuel injected 3.5 litre V8's, no turbo. I'm not sure, but think the motors are all Honda's, a controlled motor. Champ cars are methanol fuel injected turbo 2.65 litre V8's. Once again not too sure but I gather the motors are all Chev's for this year. Remember that the US racing scene split a couple of years ago. Well thats what my web browsing found anyway.
  6. Also indy cars can change their fuel mixture. They can back off to conserve fuel and enrich to gain more power. It depends on their game strategy and their pit stop timing along with what they intend to achieve by going full fuel ie extending their lead or catching up to another car by going full fuel=full power and decreasing lap times etc.
  7. High/low boost and scramble boost are different beasts altogether. Some ebc's have several boost settings mine only has two. I use a low low boost [say 0.5 kg/cm2] on wet days in an attempt to lessen the impact of the turbo's power. I use the high boost setting [1.2 kg/cm2] exclusively on normal/dry days when traction is not an issue. So I am on a high boost setting for nearly all my driving. Scramble boost is preset by you into the ebc's programmable memory. You have the ability to set it up to meet your individual needs. You can dial in the time and extra boost you want, usually say 10 seconds and say 0.5 kg/cm2. After this you don't touch it at all. The big difference is a scramble boost only lasts for a finite time commonly between 0-30 seconds, you cannot hold it. A high/low boost button changes and holds that boost until you change it again, you can hold it for as long as you want, minutes, hours, days. Well thats my understanding of it. And Roy, I like the idea of using it to reduce boost for certain instances, I'd never thought laterally enough to think that, good tip.
  8. Nah, it's custom jewellery.........................but a nice big GTR badge for the Nissan Cedric would be uber cool!!!! Term............you only want one that spells out SHOW US YOU BOOBIES!!!!! [Now write this down cos your going to have to spell it proper and all]. I actually brought some land and want to make up a gate sign for the property..............one that says FU#K OFF TRESPASSERS, got to keep the fishermen and swimmers out!!!! I was thinking of calling my place 'Skyline', but they inform me that there is a dim sim car made that is called that, so I'll have to think of something else.
  9. Yeah I've got the Hks evc III, it's a set and forget, and like Paul said, boost is stable. Plus you can get old school stuff for less $$$ and it does exactly the same job. Only thing you can't buy is the cello wrapper and the wank factor [pretty blue screens that attract crackheads like roadkill attracts flies].
  10. Gimme a Hummer, I'll sort 'em out!!! Drive right over the lot of them like a Monsta truck, Thst'd make 'em compact sports cars then............lol
  11. With scramble set up on an ebc sure it has some performance related limitations, but you can live with them. What Al and Bam r33 were talking about is - to me - a high/low boost button, not scramble, if your going to hit a switch and hold a boost setting, it is a high/low booost button. Scramble is a momentary thing, it is not meant to be held for ever. I do agree though that [as I said before] it has limitations, and I also agree that it can affect motor longevity, especially if the motor will not take the scramble boost setting and it all goes boom or clunk. I've got it, I've set it up to work, AND I don't know if it works [my evc gauge tells me it does], I can't feel any initial extra power, you won't see it on a dyno, and the normal boost settings and the normal turbo boost just takes over anyway. On the road you won't see or feel a difference.
  12. Thanks, so far I've got an American mob trying to sell me letters 8"=200mm high for around $65US each, a joke I reckon. I could get 6mm brass plate and cut my own out for more like $15 each.
  13. Men [at Work, song title]
  14. Some evc/ebc's allow you to set the scramble to whatever you want. You can take it out, or you can have it set. You can set it for eg an extra 4 psi for 10 seconds. What it means is that if your hitting the throttle hard, your motor will get an extra 4 psi of boost for 10 seconds. As the above posts state, you have to be sure your car can take the extra. It could run lean, over boost etc It's not a wank factor, but you'll not really see the extra power to often, it gets 'lost' in your normal boost power, 10 or 20 seconds is not a big time, so by the time you get it happening, your normal boost settings are only a few heartbeats away. One place that the scramble boost is a bitch is on wet days, the last thing you want is more power, and if you bag up in the wet, the scramble boost will cut in and make it worse. Well thats my bent on it.
  15. Not sure, but I thought an adj. fuel reg was for too small an injector size? What size injectors did you get? Half throttle???? Not anything to do with your secocnd stage advance?? What ecu you got??
