Toffy, depending on price, i might be interested, i am loking into a JAYCAR IBC whcih has same functions so this would do nicely

Just buy a GIZMO cobber,

you cant go past them for the price if your wanting a cheaper EBC.

What is the manual valve you have at the moment???

i got a turbotech one. But pissed that off. I plumed the stok one back in and it seams to work DAM well, full boost at 3000rpm and holds well butthen comes up to 12@5000rpm and bleeds off.

How much do the gizmo ones go for and where is the best place to get one. I was actually looking at getting a JAYCAR IBC and using teh stock selenoid to controll the boost. Failing that, i have heard good things about the nyew HYBRID stuff form HongKong.

So wait and see. At the moment the car is fine, i am still going to do a wasted spark convertion as soon as i have any extra money, Better spark, more burn=more power.YEHHHAAA

Its strange mate you must have the only Turbotech valve that hasnt worked :/

I was running 1.5bar with no problems at all and never sawy any spike (its actually very hard for these to spike cause there a nuamatic valve, not a bleed valve) so unless you crimped a pipe or something with it, or the spring and or ball bearing was knackered i dont know.

GIZMO are the goods go and talk to Steve @ Autobarn, tell him i sent ya in and to use his sharpest pencil :)

The Jaycar ones are goood on a budget but there isnt that much more you can do with that compared to the GIZMO, i haven't heard anything of the new HYBRID EBC but im always worried about stuff that comes from HK as you never really know if you buying legit or a copy :sick:

yeah well i might invest in another turbotech one and see what happens. Who knows ayy?

Did you leave your restrictor in or took it out?

Just borrow one cobber (you can borrow mine) to check and make sure. That way if it is a dicky spring or ball bearing then you will know without spending another $30.

There are so many out there and some are running big numbers without spiking or dropping boost so who knows.

Well i have not done anything about it yet, but basically you get a VN or an AU S1 coils, withc are about $75 a set of 6, some new plug leads, and an ignitor, get a plug to rewire the stock ignition to the standard plugs, and you got wasted spark. So cylined 1 and 6 fier at the same time ect ect. Simple efective and CHEEEP $200 all up.

    • I haven’t taken them out of the cases yet    inside the box is this packaging which is pretty much like a massive blister pack 
    • Purchased a NC MX5 a while ago Basic suspension mods done, BC coils and Whiteline sway bars  New DBA calipers, discs and pads Added some 17 x 8 Konig Decagrams with 215/45 17 PS5's Added some typical NA bolt on's, i.e. full exhaust and intake  Added 0.5ltrs with a MZR2.5 swap, nice bump in torques  Found a detachable hard top which is locked in for a colour match with my local paint shop in Feb 25, this also includes some PDR as it has received a few love taps from parking in the local shops when in the hands of my Minister for War and Finances, me, I park nowhere near other cars and typically park on the street The little thing is awesome, I drive it everywhere, it handles like a dream whether I'm up it or just cruising  But now,  because I'm a idiot, I keep looking at turbo kits....... did I mention I'm a idiot Why is dose so appealing  All of the NA 2.5 glory, well.......until sometime in 2025 anyway....🤪  
    • I would not be surprised if you are the only person on earth that has the interest/desire to do that lol.  The Haltech base map is a really good starting point, the car will fire easily and drive very well, even on mild boost levels. To me, following your advice sounds like some sort of ancient Chinese water torcher lol (this is not an insult Josh, never change <3)
    • Those car show concepts from the 2000's and 2010's like the Floria and IDx were brilliant and should've gone ahead, at least one of them. But neither Honda nor Nissan are thinking about affordable performance any more, which is truly sad.  Even if Toyota's liquid hydrogen ICE development reaches the point where it's commercially viable and the infrastructure to support it, Honda/Nissan would have to wait until Toyota allow fee access to their patents to offer it with any smaller performance models they released to take advantage of it.  
    • A sporty manual RWD coupe with a IL4 Honda engine would only be a good thing I assume we won't see anything released for a few years though, unless informal talks and designs have been going on for a few years,  and due to the current, and future, emmisions and safety requirements, I assume anything "sporty" they would do would be at least some hybrid thingie And hopefully anything they are thinking of has nice lines, without lots of plastic and fake bits hanging off it like that horrendous FK8 that looked like it was designed by a 13 year old The other issue of course in the current market is cost, currently the type R is around $70k, a twin is around $50k Meh, I'm old and grumpy and would rather buy a older model car and waste my coin on that than buying anything currently available new
