Part Number For Oil Filter

[fcruz3r]

how much oild drained out do you reckon?

thats the part that scares me...oil that drained out filler 2 x 2liter milk cartons..slightly less than a liter in another bottle...and prolly bout 1/2 pint on my lawn when transfering the oil into the bottles...haha

so guesstimate is bout 5 liters....didnt check level before draining out though so cant really say.

will check level again this afternoon when i get back...hope the car doesnt overheat coz i've overfilled it

yeah good idea to check it again...

I think we had my car running longer, but I don't think that matters :? my brother helped me do mine ... I just supervised

yea ...sometimes a problem with these 5w synthetic oils is that its too thin that it hardly leaves a trace on the dipstick...should've tagged along on the cruise and get some expert advice

You only need to run it until the oild pressure light goes out (means it has met pressure) which should only take a matter of seconds in most cases...

what about the oil filter? that should take a bit too??

And yes roy for not coming on the cruise

As a side note - you should always avoid putting an empty oil filter onto an engine when changing them out. Most lube systems pressurise the filter to supply the engine and if you dont slop a little bit of clean oil into the filter before putting it on (I always at least half fill it) it will take that little bit longer to get up to pressure because it has to fill the filter first, and I'm probably not an orphan when I say that that an extra 1/2 a sec without oil pressure is about 1/2 a second too long.

Also, always make sure you dip your finger into the clean oil and give it a wipe across the seal on top of the filter before screwing it on, after making sure the old seal has come off first - I left the old seal on by mistake on an old falcon and 15 minutes into my first post service drive it blew the bloody filter off - not pretty

checked ...confirmed overfill ...by at least 3mm ....and i know the reason too...had the front of my car on jacks coz i needed to go under the car to remove the plug...forgot to remove the jacks when filling in the oil..so i guess oil must have levelled towards the back of the sump....im such a moron!!!

trick for young players.

ah ok never mind, we all make mistakes... Like I did when in Darwin, driving my laser wondering why it kept stalling.. I was slowly cooking it

good work stageagirl using the PureOne filters these are the best you can buy but currently only available in Supercheap atm as we have the rights to them for 12 months. i will check today at work for the sump capacity including filter but i'm sure it is only about 4.8 - 4.9 lt.

Yea i dont think its far off from the 5 liter mark...coz i had to add about a liter when i overfilled it...and drained exactly 1 liter to get it spot on.

must say that the motul x-cess did get a dark honey colour rather quick and car feels slightly lazy compared to using mobil 1 the last time round... might try the pureone filters next time

btw...how much does the pureone filter retail for at supercheap? ...i only managed to find valvolines there...are they stocked different?

[IMPORTD]

About $12-15 depending on store specials

I use turbo lite motul roy... nearly 5000ks and its still clean

i prolly had more sludge in my motor

Question for SK ( not that I doubt anyone else's opinion ) - I'm having a boost controller and afc fitted next tuesday...planning on running about 9psi low and 13 psi high boost...current mods is just a 3 inch turbo back

i think its wise to change my plugs now ...so what plugs (make, model, heat range) should i get and what gap should i run?

I've read on the other treads that you recommend BCPR6ES gapped at 0.8mm ....is this recommended for my planned setup?

Cheers buddy.

p/s: assuming my coil packs are in a 'fair' condition...i dont know for sure...i can have a look but its like asking me to tell the sex of fish...i wouldnt have a clue.

isn't 13psi too high for just standard?? Oh and where you going for your tune?

PM if you don't want to disclose that here.

had it booked to install the afc and profec b at xspeed ...only coz Ant is back and they quoted me a better price than hyperdrive and speedworks ...didnt get the name of the bloke i spoke to on the phone...but he reckons stock turbo and stock smic is capable of 13psi (although this is reserved for those "special occasions" rather than normal day2day driving)...will be upgrading to a FMIC soon though...just cant bear to part wif all that cash in one go

[fcruz3r]

and its either FMIC + manual boost controller

or

ebc + stick wif existing smic for now..

decisions decisions!!

[fcruz3r]

finally had my car tuned on the dyno ....it now runs 121.4awkw @ 10psi

dont know about fuel ratios ...but I know that with Anthony tuning it ..i wont worry too much.

anyone know if this is a good performance figure?.. given the only mods are the safc, greddy profec b (10psi high..8 psi low) and a 3 inch turbo back

soo farkin excited..cant wait to get the car back

[IMPORTD]

Roy come on over to the WA section, there are dyno slips ther I think.. also here in the stag section too...

yea...but everyone else seems to be running a high flow turbo..which should give a better power reading..atmo im quite happy wif the results...121awkw should in my pleb opinion equate to maybe 140ish rwkw which was my intended power figure.

im a bit surprised that i was told that it was hitting boost cut at anything more than 10psi....but given my turbo may be tired and due for an upgrade..i wouldnt want to push it any more

but next on list of mods is definately a FCD, higher flow fuel pump and/or regulator (depending on current injector cycle) ...FMIC (a definate must) and depending on whether i win a crossword scratch n win ....maybe highflo my current blower.

got the car back....definately feels much smoother now and exhaust doesnt pop/fart anymore...but still a tad dissappointed coz there is still a dip at around the 80-88kph mark...tuner reckons could be a problem with the air flow sensor...or the turbo nearing rebuild stage....i think its definately the turbo coz it does tend to squeal quite a bit under boost.

happy wif the fuel consump tho....drove back from o'connor to scarborough...fuel needle didnt move a mm ....last time i tried that lost about 1/2 notch of fuel

greddy unit works beautifully....low 6-7psi...and holds high at 10psi without a flicker

[mitchy_]

does it only happen at 80-88km/h, or is it at a certain rev range in each gear?

seems weird to only do it at one speed, if its a airflow/turbo problem, it will generally do it at the same rev in each gear.
