Don't you love how they think an EBC + BOV = hoon. Wankers.

When are they going to start taking some of the leathal rust buckets off of the road instead. I know a guy at work that drives around in the biggest POS of a datto 1600 I've ever seen & he's an engineer. Not that he can't afford a better car, just doesn't want to spend money on one.

Having not been through a defect station with mine.. How hard do they look for shit?

Not too hard mate,

Looked for a fmic, checked the bov was plumbed in a dnchecked the boost controller. Though if you had anything suss like a bright blue part or coloured vac lines im sure that would change

Didn't think boost controllers were defectable?

I contacted my insurance company to tell them i'd installed a boost gauge and manual boost controller and they were fine (i.e. i email them my intent and said in the email they better contact me if it's a problem and they never did so i assume it's alright.)

When you say plumbed in do they use torches to check its plumbed in to the inlet pipe? Mine looks as if its all plumbed in but isn't down at the afm to turbo pipe which can't be seen anyway. The bov is blocked using the old coke can trick. lol.

My only real concern is with the catch can setup I have.

I have T'd into the cam cover to plenum hose and run a pipe directly down in to a catch can under the inlet manifold. The PCV is blocked but looks like its connected. The passenger side cam cover's breather uses the std piping route to the inlet pipe but again isn't connected instead routing to another catch can. Its all using the std nissan hose clamps, brass t piece is smoothed and painted black so doesn't really stand out.

Time will tell I guess. :rofl:

webng,

The insurance companies are all good with modifications but they 'assume' the mods you have are adr approved. That being its on your back to have them engineered. If not well when push comes to shove..... Your shoved out the door. :)

Bugger.

I guess it comes down to how well they know the cars. :S

Next time its on the dyno I might pull them out and see exactly how much black mist its pushing out and then decide if I will 100% plumb them back in or not.

Last time I couldn't see anything but might be worth taking a better look. There's no oil but that doesn't mean there's no mist oil shit that doesn't get caught by the catch can setup.

As for next dyno.. It appears the gtr cam regrinds pick up around 20-25rwkw's so I'll definitely take that route.

I can't see mine making 290-295rwkw on 15-16psi of boost though. Would be nice but. :rofl:

Most of the people I know have been defected when driving to the shops and back. :S

Just a random pull over. :rofl:

I was pulled over driving to Marion shopping centre. Just as I turned left off diagonal road on to Marion road (which is right on the corner of Marion shopping centre) a defect station was setup on both sides of the road. Both traffic lanes were stopped, I was 3 cars back in the right lane ready to turn in to Marion, the police officer walked past the 3 cars and told me to pull over. :S

Luckily it was only tint on the front windows he was worried about so that came off quick smart and kept him happy. :S

      🚨 Need Advice! Overcharged for Engineering Report 🚨

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Well, in 2007 he must have been charging about $1800 an hour. He only looked at the car for 5 minutes. And another 4 to write the report wrong, and another minute to correct it. Mind you, this was for a car that was: Stock engine, fmic (hole in drivers guard), all alloy intake and custom air box, 3 inch turbo back exhaust, lowered, and a set of 17" Advans (255/40/17 rear and 235/45/17 front). It was nothing crazy. The blue slipper wanted the "hole in the guard" engineered. But that was because he got the shits that I wouldn't "relocate the battery from the boot, back to the factory position in the engine bay"... In an R33 GTST...     Also for emissions, E85, and don't go wild on timing. It's amazing how the closer you get ignition timing towards max torque, the last couple of degrees really throw NOx counts right up. And for the huge increase in emissions, it's only a small increase in torque.

      He'll be looking down and swearing about "the damn apprentice" for trying to convince Duncan to use percussive maintenance... 😛

      I swear at my GKTech ones every time I have to take them apart and replace a spherical. But I wouldn't swap them for anything else. They absolutely slay every other option, at least in terms of how they actually work. You sure you don't want to live with bearings? I mean, they don't have "ball bearings". They are rod ends and sphericals throughout. Tough as nuts, even though I have found more than one way to wear them out.

      From when I was looking at getting the 86 engineered for the turbo, the joint said to put in a few euro 5 or 6 cats, then tune the car on a nice clean E85 tune When I was looking at a turbo for the MX5, it was basically the same thing, a couple of cats and a nice clean tune Although, it will depend on the year of the Jeep IRT emmisions standards required, and what mods are done, especially if it has a newer engine installed that requires a higher Euro

      Yeah - but it's not actually that easy. There are limits for HC, CO, NOx and particulates. Particulates shouldn't be a concern in any petrol engine unless trying to comply to the very latest Euro standard. But getting a tune right so that all the others stay within limits AT THE SAME TIME is not a trivial exercise. You couldn't possibly get it right by just guessing at the tuner's dyno, unless he had a 4 gas analyser up the pipe, which is not often the case these days. It used to be. Every decent shop that did "tune ups" (as opposed to tuning) would have a 4 gas analsyer. Perhaps there's still quite a few of them around these days. But most "tuners" are only watching O2 and power readings.
