    simple, get a better offset...
  2. Mitcho_7
    is that the new ss2 in there?
  3. Mitcho_7
    Did you end up calling/emailing caltex about it?
  4. Mitcho_7
    Maybe email caltex and see if they plan to increase eflex availability in Canberra anytime soon?

    18x9 +25 is going to sit out of the guard 5mm more than +30... Also, if he rolls the guards the lip of the guard won't eat into the outside tyre wall. That is part of the reason you roll them. 18x9 +30 is the same size as 34gtr wheels and they seem to fit quite nicely on 33gtst's and 34gtt's

    Post pics when you get it done. You will have a bit of poke and need some guard work I think

    The twin scroll is definently appealing due to the response it gives, but the tight fit/complexity of the dual wastegate plumbacks is slightly off putting and probably expensive to get made. Top end wise it doesnt look too different to most gt3076r turbos with that boost, but i think the mid range would probably be better on the twin scroll setup When is your setup getting on full boost 34geeteetee ?
  8. Mitcho_7
    looks nice! Is the rear housing from atp turbo?
  9. Mitcho_7
    It sounds like such a nice setup, how hard/labor intensive was it to plumb back the gates and make the front pipe?
  10. Mitcho_7
    Im keen to see some results of the most recent ss2 update in action
  11. Mitcho_7
    im guessing that graph above is the twin scroll gt3076r on 6boost manifold? Boost curve looks awesome!
  12. Mitcho_7
    If you go rota grids in 8.5" front and 9.5" rear, the concavity of the rims is quite different an looks odd IMO
  13. Mitcho_7
    Sounds about right to me
  14. Mitcho_7
    That does seem dodgy. How much is eflex/united e85 at the moment?
  15. Mitcho_7
    Maybe just get Jez to tune both maps with 5 or so litres of the other fuel in the tank?
  16. Mitcho_7
    Wmi will probably work out more long term. The cost of the kit is comparable to injectors etc so that's negligible. Its Mostly due to the fact that the price of 98 will get higher because it's dictated by the cost of oil which we don't have much (if any) supply of our own, so we are at the mercy of OPEC and the us dollar cross rate. You also have to get methanol ($80 for 20l). Whereas e85 should be a steadier cost because it's made from things we have an abundance of on shore.

    I think I'm going to go the wmi route until eflex is more available here, not as good but still better than 98 by itself...
  18. Mitcho_7
    85 is cheaper per litre but it contains less energy, so it probably work out the same as 98 cost wise/distance travelled. I think if you're going e85 commit and run it all the time or theres no point really. Then have the 98 map as a backup if you are caught somewhere that doesn't have it
  19. Mitcho_7
    Oh ok, it'd probably be a bit of a sl*t initially when you change maps but I can't see why it wouldn't work. You will probably end up on 98 most of the time because there's limited access to eflex in Canberra. Probably best to chat with Jez about it and see what he thinks. Edit: Jez just posted in here
  20. Mitcho_7
    I envisioned a slightly larger boat than that!
  21. Mitcho_7
    Have you thought about how youre going to get home, because it's 400 odd kms and I don't think you will make it on one tank of e85. Is there a servo on the highway that sells it? Might have to carry a few jerry cans with you?
  22. Mitcho_7
    If only it was that simple!
  23. Mitcho_7
    No they will not
  24. Mitcho_7
    I didnt even give that a thought, buy It's probably highly likely there is eflex still in the tank, because I doubt the tank was drained between the different runs. It would account for why there is such a large improvement over previous ss2's. I'm sure part of the improvement is also down to stao re engineering housings/wheels as well though!
  25. Mitcho_7
    Can you weld up something to run the external wastegate off the underside of the rear housing (and plum back into the exhaust futher down) rather than having to buy a new manifold or does that not really work that well?
