Soooooo, filled up today. With normal driving (I mean squirt here, squirt there) on E85 I have reached a pretty low 14.6l/100. My lowest was all freeway on 11l/100. And I thought I'd crack it the S

Ive been such a lazy bastard with this.

Soooooo,

At the end of last year, I got rid of the old powerfc and got myself a Link G4. Man this is a nice ecu. None of that silly hickup every 10 minutes. Oh and the fact that I went ethanol :P.

After jez worked all his magic the car is pushing just shy of 340 kw on 20psi. Not bad for the baby -9's I reckon. Car is now a great street/twisty setup.

Seeing as I was starting to push the standard motor I finally pulled my finger out and bought a variety of gauges.

Oil temp/pressure

water temp

I now feel more relaxed driving around haha. I also got a asi radiator from fleebay. Bolted up perfectly :). And its all shiny. I love shiny.

Hicas lock bar, wicked, we know what it does.

Finally to top off these past couple of months I finally got some Federal 595 RSR's. whow these tyres are good wet dry they aint care. Only down side I would say right now is that they are noisy. As far as wear goes, we will have to wait and see.

All in all, car is going awesome (touch wood) except for my silly castor rods making knock knock noises, time for new ones :). Pulls hard and got a 11.4 @125mph on those crappy achilles tyres I had. Wonder if I can drop it down a peg or two with the new rubber.

Now for pics

      So whats the deal with the porous block VR30DDTT

      By 180 wanabe · Posted

      SO whats the deal with this issue? I've read a heap of posts from the infinity owners in the US having full engine swaps done under warranty. Most claims are done on earlier cars than 2019 but I'm sure I've come across claims of 2020 models also having this issue. I like the 400r and Q50Red/S but can't fathom dumping close to 50k on a car with terminal issues!!!

      The above video is working normally. That is, that's how the right hand indicator should cancel when rotating the wheel left.

      My BMW 335i

      By PranK · Posted

      I noticed that I could see creatures on the moon when I turned my new headlights on. I thought I should check the alignment. It's pretty rudimentary but I just grabbed some dry wall and put it against my tablet and made sure the beam was below the height on the headlights. Ie the beam is at 600mm on my car, I just made it lower than that 7.5m away.  Not the best but it'll do until I can do it properly at the local shops.

      Ceramic turbine damage to engine - what did yours do?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      As @Duncan said - the bores are most likely to cop it. But anything can and does happen. Rods are cheap. Rods are good. The work to rebuild the motor will be 30x the price of rods. You won't notice it.

      Yeah car has 110 on the clock. That said the front turbo (that exploded) doesn't seem to be the original, it has a S1 part number but the car is a series 3. Yep, in the cat is where I first found the turbine wheel pieces - a couple decent sized ones, then a whole lot of fragments.  I agree, probably makes sense to upgrade parts that are being replaced. Things like rods would be 'nice' but realistically it seems unlikely they would need replacing. I was hoping that it was a case that they generally f**k up the valves but not the bore, or vice versa. Is it generally the scour damage rather than ceramic bits getting mashed into the piston tops / valves? I tried a search but couldn't find any threads with pics from the guts of a motor that's had this happen.
