Inner West Crew Whoretown (toowong/st Lucia/kenmore/indooroopilly And Sometimes Sunnybank?)


Recommended Posts

I'd be more impressed if it was one of the Tommy Kaira digital dashes. It still looks nice however.

as would I.

Does anyone know of a good/reliable auto electrician in the inner west [taringa/toowong] area?

I have a friend with a sus alternator on a 90's camry

Mangs what was the boost tee we were talking about the other week? Turbotech? Last thing on my list of sh*t to buy.

Mang, I have this one: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Turbotech-manual-turbo-boost-controller-ORIGINAL-/220798194994?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item3368991532

It is good. However, this one is apparently even better: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/V2-Turbotech-manual-turbo-boost-controller-here-/220776081852?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item336747a9bc

Next time I need a tune for any reason I'll probably upgrade.

Hey minges.

I've had both the Turbotech and Turbotech V2. The V2 is no different in it's function. It looks different but it's noth worth the extra money. There was no difference in the way it controls boost.

Col There is a better more stealthy way of controlling boost. I'll talk you through it tonight. It's easy, Cheap (ie. Free) and very stable.

This is relevant to my interests.

We shall talk this evening. Col, does your car still run the factory boost controller?

On another note, The Stagea is exhaustimafied. Stock dump, China front pipe, Fujitsubo cat back exhaust. The Cat back is to suit an N/A so it was shorter in length than the stock one and the flange was wrong. Busted out the TIG and went to town on my new Catco highflow. Lenghtened it by 120mm.

All is well.

    • What are your plans for your blow off valves? Purely plumb back? How soft will the spring in them be? AFM can be tricky to get super smooth and nice, especially depending on the rest of the system, and then can be very easily upset if something slightly changes. IE, even if you run recirc blow off valves, you could still see issues getting it to behave at certain load points as turbos might start to spool, but you release the throttle but it's not enough pressure to crack the bov open to recirc, and you can end up with reversion which can cause double metering, and hence dumping of fuel into the system, and stalling the engine.   If you're going to run a map sensor for closed loop boost control from the ECU, what makes you want to keep the AFM?    
    • It's not bad, it's just not flexible. And say if you have any leaks between the MAF and plenum, well then your load axis goes out the window. Here's a real world scenario, I blew off an intercooler hose last track day, as the clamp decided to Bluetooth itself somewhere. Still continued to do 2 laps and drive it to the pub for a couple of beers then home. Good luck doing that with a MAF setup 
    • Is MAF load really that bad? I'm not trying to do big power, my only real desire is VCAM and flex fuel support so I'm not terrified of blowing my engine apart from CA's appalling 95 RON "premium" fuel. Stuff like playing with closed loop boost control and really dialing in my transient fueling and ignition are frankly just to prove to myself I remembered something from uni.
    • Thats what ive been doing. Ive got a million questions but i know theyve probably all been answered before at some stage. Todays research included nismo heritage seat covers, s3 projector headlight retrofits and how to remove/paint the rocker covers
