I picked up my car yesterday (have it back after 7 months) from the suspension workshop, but the crash shop still have some of the parts and dont return to work until the end of January.

Has anyone got any of these parts I can borrow until then.

1: - turbo out pipe (the black factory one with the nipple for the boost controler) that runs from up near the engine, down the hole under the air pod.

2. - A Profec B boost control unit (just the black box that sits in the engine bay)

3: - the bracket that holds up the stock air box from underneath. (so I can mount MAXX's Cold air partition properly)

4: - A lid for one of MAXX's cold air partitions.

I know they put in a last minute rush to try and finish my car for christmas, but at this stage I am not happy with the quality of some parts of the job. I believe they are expecting the car back (when they return) to fix some bits up, but the parts listed above are just careless ommissions on their part.

At least I'll be able to cruse around in the car again.

I have a turbo out pipe (with nipple) off my car Guy

Don't worry about the lid for the cold air partition - it is not the be all and end all - driving without it is ok for a while

Use nuts and bolts to secure the CAI from below - I am pretty sure you need no bracket

Failing all that I have a spare R33 air box and associated bits sitting here doing nothing

Theres your problem Guy...........

If you havn't had your car for 7 odd months i don't see why they needed to "rush" it to get it too you!! In saying that tho it is good to hear she is back on the road after what you went thru :O

      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

      🚨 Need Advice! Overcharged for Engineering Report 🚨

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      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.

      Slight segway but the most expensive part of the whole thing which I would have thought would only be required for an engine size/type swap, not a VIV test, is emissions testing.  That's when you get into the big bucks.  I can't remember the exact price now but I got quotes for the GT-R based on swapping to RB30 (not that anyone bothers doing it legally anymore...) and it was around $4500 just for that alone.  The guy that does them manipulates the tune on the vehicle to make sure it passes.  The cheaper option is to book into Kangan Batman Tafe (I think that's where it was) and hire their tester.  Allegedly you're not allowed in there with the car though so not in a position to tweak anything to make sure the vehicle passes.  I'm sure in this day and age of ultra tuneable ECU's you could get the tuner to program a special efficiency (clean) tune that emits the lowest amount of particulates possible that would pass the test.  It might only make 50kW's but as long as it passed who cares!

      I'm sure he has left signs, or, he is looking down, laughing That's my cunning plan for when I leave, lots of half finished projects, with no rhyme or reason of where I was actually up to, just to keep everyone on their toes
