hey kiddies.

in response to nik, work, the work on money pit when I get home.

one of the centre bearing bolts has stripped.

so, helicoil it is.

ouch

sitting in lunchroom typing to you guys.

fun times

I hate the damn thing. Although I want plenty of it, I hate it and come to the conclusion that this world we live in is all about this "money" and its disgusting!

I love it. I'm also highly capitalist

If it was up to me id go but it'd cost nearly 3 grand in fuel :(

... Should set up a fund, get the abomination to Sau Nats lol

No. Then that would imply that SAU QLD supports the abomination./

just unlike it mate.

No no, it was worth liking lol

Hunt for a new spoiler/boot combo complete. Here is the choice. I wonder how long it will last before it get unwanted attention from the boys in blue. Will have in my hot little hands come Thursday

Noice!

Pics when done

need to have it here in Qld, preferably the SE QLD.

there was talk, but your old exec team didnt exactly inspire confidence.

and not that many qlders come.

so it was sort of seen that they didnt want it.

I went last year, without a car at all.

not even a daily.

got a lift down with another member.

year before, car spun bearings a month out.

going this year again.

about 5 guys made the trek from WA last year.

they had a ball.

how do you figure that?

economy cant be THAT bad?

surely?

Ok I may of over exaggerated a bit.

1970ks from my house to Adelaide, assuming 300ks per tank (admiredly my tune is rich as ATM, but the cam I want with the real low Lsa and high duration is probley going to be worse even with a tune)

1970/300 = 6.5

6.5x$90 = 585

585x2 = $1170 in fuel alone

    • Got the motor out and torn down. I'll be dropping off the block Monday. Luckily the scoring on Cyl6 is much less pronounced then the pictures made it out to seem. It can barely be felt. If you pass your finger over it 10x you'll barely notice it. Hopefully by some chance it will only require a honing. I'm not in the mood to buy one size larger pistons or another block. Oddly enough my 6th cylinder with the scoring has extremely clean intake valves compared to my other 5 cylinders. I'm worried the scoring was caused by too much fuel or Water/Methanol washing the cylinder. I'll review some old logs to confirm.  This was also the first time I pull an engine with the transmission still attached. It went much better then expected. I was worried my CD009 wouldn't make it easy due to its sheer size but it was much easier this way. 
    • From the pictures I have when doing the job the flywheel is the same diameter, I don't think they're playing weird tricks like putting weights at the outer diameter to increase flywheel inertia or anything like that. The OEM flywheel is definitely heavier, but it's not a huge difference. Quoted weight savings of the clutch is 2 kg so I can't imagine the flywheel being lighter than ~7 kg. Kind of regret not weighing it before the clutch went into the car but as far as driveability goes I have no complaints.
    • HKS trigger kit should be very easy to integrate with a Link. It's a 36-2 crank trigger. Hard part is finding the motivation to take off the timing belt and everything on the front of the engine to install it. You also need to cut out a hole in the oil pump housing so the sensor can read the trigger wheel. Changing out the cam sensor for a 24 tooth setup is probably good enough but as others have mentioned depending on what underlying assumptions are changed it becomes more of a problem. Reading the crank state off of the cam is an abstraction that works in the general case, but if you have an edge case it makes less and less sense. There is a GTX2860 gen 2 that can take a compact 5 bolt housing so it's direct bolt on but I'm not 100% sure of what's involved. Peak compressor efficiency drops off a bit on these turbos vs -5s, 77% vs 73% but you get way, way wider region of operation. The -5s have a really strange surge line in their compressor map that is all over the place. If you think the hot side on the -5s aren't open enough you can try the Tomei T550B turbos which a local tuner seems to be happy with:
