that's about the standard boost mate....is the boost controller turned on? generally it would be set between 12 and 14psi for a standard turbo :teehee:

oh really? I was told by a few people that standard they are meant to be set at about 7psi and 10psi is the 'safe' boost to run daily on stock turbo. Boost controller is turned on, but i haven't tried playing with it yet. Need to download and read the manual :/

Blowoff valve and wiring loom for ignition coils arrived today! Wuhoo! Off to mech on Friday to have it all fitted up, then as soon as my tuner has time, we'll give it the 5th "final tune", and everything will be awesome (probably wishful thinking given the epic issues, but you gotta stay positive, yeah?)...

Sounds like it should all be sorted :) it's good you got back on the horse, it can be really detering when these things happen.

I remember someone asking for a picture of my seat because we were bidding against each other months ago. So here it is.

Wow cool seat!

Update on our stag. We put a new fuel pump in (walbro) then started getting a hesitation on take off and light throttle. Checked voltage at the pump on idle and revs. 9 volts!! Haha didn't really want to run a new power cable etc so at first I was like il try earthing the fuel pump direct to the chassis and see what happens.

So did that and check voltage. 12.2 volts. Sweet! Went for a drive and the hesitation was gone!! Yay

Car went on the dyno again and made 180kws at all four wheels. Goes much harder now, wow haha

good to hear that it was a simple fix, but you need to be a little careful with just putting it straight to the chassis. Does the fuel pump still turn off after a few seconds when you turn the ignition on (but do not start the car?)

In a lot of these systems the ECU uses the earth to turn off the fuel pump when the ignition is on but the car does not start.

If your fuel pump does not turn off (may be hard to hear), you need to add a relay where pin 85 goes to the original ECU earth to the fuel pump (12v can come from any ignition switched source to pin 86). Then connect the old fuel pump earth to pin 30 and pin 87 then to the chassis earth.

What have I done to my Stagea lately??

Nipped in to town to do some shopping!

All this gear in the car and still could of beat any Commondore!!!

That's quite a bit of stuff is that shopping for a couple of months!

Gktech open ended wheel nuts on order, once they arrive I'll start playing with my spacers :-)

Managed to pick up two pairs of their 15-30mm spacers for $150

Should be able to fit my kakimotos over the front brakes now

    • I like it when the counter chick leads you out the back into the racks and says "have a grub around in here and see if you can find what you need. I'll be back in a few minutes. Just left me in front of a massive motorised shelving system and 2-3 million fasteners, so I could find a peculiar SS shoulder bolt with cap head. Gotta love country towns.
    • I used this https://osgiken.com.au/product/os-giken-os-250r-lsd-gear-oil-80w250-1-litre/   shut my nismo 1.5 pro up by heaps…. Not silent though. Gives the car character and personality. It ain’t a carolla. If you want silent, put a quaife in it.
    • It's about the same time for me from Bunnings, or the Fasteners. My big push away from takeaway food, and gluten in general keeps me away from the Bunnings Snags too! Weather up here, I've been out for two walks today in the beautiful sunshine. Had a few little drizzles, and some wind, that honestly, a tin of beans and I could compete on how harsh she blows Thankfully, being this bit inland, we're not getting anything much really. Will probably pick up a bit more when/if Cyclone Alfie decides to come ashore. A few areas in the GC though, and south into NSW are really getting smashed though! Right now, I'm just annoyed Alfie hasn't hit, as I'm not allowed to crack into the BBQ foods like the bacon and eggs until the Cyclone hits "In case we lose power"...
    • I love fastener joints, the price difference between them and joints like Bunnings or Super Cheap is amazing, and they either have exactly what you want, or they can get it to quick They have even given me some for free when I only needed a couple of specific size In saying this, I have paid premium for fasteners from Bunnings if they have the sizes I need, but only for convenience really, as my local is only 10 minutes away, the Sushi joint near them is also a consideration  How's the weather Matt? Stay safe mate
    • Wideband is worth setting up if only for tuning purposes. I would not mess with the ignition system unless there's a misfire. HKS crank trigger is popular out here for the relatively easily sourced Denso crank sensor, not a bad idea to install as well regardless of power level on a standalone. Boost leak test is worth thinking about. Oil pressure sensor tied to a fuel cut isn't a bad idea either. Getting the tune figured out is a good idea. Without putting eyes on it and getting under it there's no way for us to tell you exactly what it needs but most likely you're down to the last 10% that will make a big, big difference in how happy you are with the car.
