At the RPM Lounge Dyno-day my car only got 159kw's so I have booked it into Boost-worx for a tune and also to find why it isnt boosting as much as it should (AVCR set to 1.1 bar and only got .69 bar :) ). So if any1 buys it befoer then ill pay for the tune which is booked for the 12th of April. :P

Somebody buy this car! as you can see, the only reason why it made such low power is because lack of boost. I would buy it but it's a little out of my price range.

Interior shots as requested, quality is really crap because I couldn't find my cameras USB cable so I took them on my phone. If someone is serious about buying the car they will come have a look anyway.

Free bump for a nice 4dr, quick question were the side skirts on the car when you bought it? If not can you tell me where you bought em?

Thanks mate, they were already on it, the rear bar and the skirts are IMPUL i think they are pretty rare because I havnt seen them on another car in Adelaide.

Is this still for sale? Try the trader, a car like this should sell pretty quick in there.

Your wastegate spring is probably set to 10 psi or so and isn't letting the boost controller do it job, you might need a heavier spring to get more power.

Cant really be bothered with the trader, im not in a huge hurry to sell Sook and I would rather it go to a SAU forum user so I can find out how shes doing after I sell her. As for the wastegate, im not sure whats causeing it but boost worx are going to fix it on Thurs. I was devo when it only made 160 :D

can you tell me what mods you have fitted yourself and what mods in any were on it when you got it

also wastegate brand?

more info on the turbo one of your mates told me it was a blitz and come on at 4,000rpm?

All the mods were on the car when I brought, unsure of the wastegate brand but I can get them to have a look when its at boostworx's. The turbo is a Garret but I dont know what size it is because I was told its a TD-04 but Garret only made a TD-04 for Mitsubishi or sumthin, comes on about 4.5k.

Anythin else just ask :w00t:

was the boost issue fixed today?

still keen to come have a look guys meant to be buying my car tommorow

Hey mate, yeh it was supposed to be fixed yesterday but Boostworx have been flat out so it should be done sometime this afternoon im jsut waiting for the call to go pick it up and ill post deatils of what they did and new power output. Im free all this weekend if you wanna come have a look, after that im in melb from monday till thurs.

Cheers

Just picked it up from Boost Worx and it had a heap of small boost leaks that were fixed, only made 167 atw but Shaun said that the exhaust is restricting it and it isnt boosting enough. Its set to 1 bar but it will only get to about .7 bar. I have a piece of straight through pipe that can replace the CAT so i will try that in a couple of weeks when I get time, if it hasnt sold by then.

Its also boosting alot quicker 3.5 to 4k now and its nice and smooth through the revs.

    • I did a skidpan night at SMSP this week, it was much cheaper than $350. But yeah, you need to slap an LSD in that thing.  I put an OS Giken in the 370Z and it's f**king MARVELOUS even compared to Nissan's viscous LSD. So you're saying it's free now that it's a housing estate? 😂
    • Nah, the car seems to run exactly as it did prior, in saying this it does "seem" to be better down low, like more eager to rev, but that may be 100% placebo effect from intake noise But, I'm not worried about it at all, in the end it is a fairly low compression NA engine that has a well shrouded intake,  if it is getting hotter IAT I cannot notice anything negative performance wise from the seat of my pants thrashing it about on the street or sitting in traffic, so meh, car now now makes induction noise so I'm happy
    • Do you have an IAT sensor? It's worth checking it to see. You may be suprised how little gap you actually need to flood your engine with hot air. (I tape up my airbox for a reason) :p
    • @KinkstaahKrinkle paint the "silver" alloy, not the red filter frame Engine bay heat won't be a issue worth worrying about as the silver alloy blocks it off on 3 sides, as for the top, the bonnet seals most of it and the big OEM CAI intake snorkel is still fitted in its original position  I will head into Clark's Rubber when I have some time to grab some pinch weld to tidy up the alloy after I paint it As for performance, I honestly wasn't expecting any, the only reason I got it is because the intake noise sounds cool to my old ears when I'm feeding it the beans Sometimes it's the silly things you do in in life that gives the most fun, and I do love anything that makes cool car noises In other news: I survived 4 nights at sea with Jackie not throwing me over board, holidays are continuing now as we are currently chilling at the Beachcomber in Toukley, after taking the coast roads from Sydney in the MX5, top down all the way, Toukley is where I spent a good deal of my youth holidaying during the summer months, there's lots of reminiscing going on,  and lots of beaches and old houses to visit Next on the list is to head to Batemans Bay for a few days, but we will take the Commodore out to stretch its legs, then Commodore hasn't really moved for months
