Who fixed it for you?

She got a new lancer, it was about time the oldies settled on what car they were getting. All the questions the old boy was asking me was driving me insane

Pretty sure you can figure this one out, Chris.

Guard needed some massaging, intercooler brackets needed straightening, and some plastic welding was done. All corroded/broken bolts were either removed or drilled out with new ones put through. Definitely wasn't a straight forward job but it got done one weekend. Paint was done by someone unknown to me but it was certainly better than the paint previously on there.

There...I've given you one very distinct clue already as to who done most of the work as it happens to be his specialty :)

Man of many skills - some of which I'm just beginning to discover.

Lancer evo X bathurst?

Think its afm from what I can find out pretty common problem not sure how reset ecu other than scan tool I've got one to do obd2 but not obd1

Just disconnect the battery and tap the break a couple times, turn lights on etc, turn key etc etc....to bleed the system of all power. I also left my old liner disconnected for a couple hours to make sure she was well and truly in reset mode when you fire it up the next time.

When I first do this to mine it won't idle... Second start is fine

Well now you'll have to give it a chance to learn the engine again. I had to do this for my GTST when I put the intercooler on and also when I put the pod on. There's actually a procedure to *helping* the eccs learn...like, a set way that you should drive it so that the computer can fine tune all it's tables (seeing that all engines are different but the computers all have the same maps etc etc)

But yes, if it's chuggy/surgy I'd go over all your vacuum lines, pressurised pipework and all your sensors. Give it all a tighten-up and clean with contact/carb cleaner - your engine will love it (even if it doesn't fix that particular problem)

      R34 GTT front hood lip

      By AdiR34 · Posted

      Another thought on this OLD topic: When you paint your bonnet lip, leave a small unpainted back lip/line along the back of the lip, where it rests on the bumper. That way, the line in the back is much more prominent than the gaps in the front/under the lip - and it breaks the hood-to-bumper connection at the "correct" place, when comparing to a GTR. I'm gonna do this with mine this week, so stay tuned for pics!

      Potential MAP Reference Point

      By Radical_Goodspeed · Posted

      So I'm in the final stages of assembling my single turbo RB30/26 and had a question regarding MAP reference points.  I've seen several recommendations such as tapping the cylinder 2/3 ITB, tapping the intake manifold at cylinder 2/3, or using a point on IAC. First two are doable but require permanently modify part and the third is "out" as I plan to delete the IAC.  All that to say my question is can I used the "bleeder" in the center of the ballance tube as a MAP Reference? I'm running a catch can so I don't need it for the PCV system. My thought process is it "pulls" from all 6 cylinder, and it's between the ITB and the cylinders making it ideal for MAP reference according to what I can find. Thoughts?

      Some sense has prevailed! What kind of idiot spends money on intake, heads, and cams for a N/A motor in 2025? Lol. What maroons. Source:I am King Maroon.

      So, cams are not getting installed......yet  Had a good chat with MX5 Mania about intakes, they recommend not to get ITB's, they recommend a plenum style for the NC So, one of these puppies is being ordered, with a larger TB to suit, when it arrives from the US the car will go in for the cams and intake I'm also getting a fancy rear box bit for the air filter box which will suit the new TB size

      Never ending fuel pump drama

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Clamp meter is pointless. Unless you're trying to keep average current under a set value for some weird reason (maybe you undersized your wiring?), then you'll get no useful info. What you're really trying to target is the flow of fuel coming back to the tank. You want some, but not a lot. You also want to make sure fuel pressure remains stable.   So, fuel pressure gauge, and fuel flow gauge. Set it up from that.
