i recon by the time i'm done the grand total will be pretty small

2'nd hand everything

turbo - $400

front/dump - $400

3port - $100

hotside LICP $100

already have fuel pump

Total $1000 + tune for 230awkw is pretty damn good

also $2000 total spend for 70-80kw gain (50% over stock) is hard to beat

20psi is stock

dat boost

Drove Aarons last night, sure as fuark doesn't feel like a stock car, dat pull in low gears <3

It's cause you are used to your cars gear ratios and spool rate. Jump in a diesel or v8 and you would have more pull in low gears too.

Birds explained it few pages back. It's no criss angel

true and untrue....

it doens't feel like a stock car, that's for sure

remember its an actual sports car from factory... has stiffer suspension, chassis is reinforced etc etc

but you are sure right about the gearing

Yeh pretty much add a catback to that and it's also my list, not hard to get there at all.

Ads $350 for a flash

But for a daily, feeling fast could be better than actually being fast and it feeling slow... Unless you want crazy butt raep fines.

On the freeway I pulled in 3rd from 70 (where I'd normally be in 2nd for a quicker spool) and I was quicker up until I ran out of fuel. Got got a little jump on me at the start obviously.

I only drove the evo for about a 1km of Springvale Road and didn't get over 100 80 kilometers per hour in accordance with state government regulation so didn't really get to feel the higher speed pull. I guess that's where the capacity makes a difference.

I also don't understand why it's got such a bad turning circle? Is it just that the wheels dont have enough lock?

Something to do with the 4wd system I don't know.

I wanted to do a 0-100 though.

    • For what it's worth (I'd never looked at the button closely enough to work out it has a person on it!) with the switch 'active' double-pressing the unlock on the remote will cause lights to turn on. As I recall it will cycle through plain-unlock, unlock-with-park-lights and unlock-with-headlights as you repeatedly double-press unlock.
    • I'm not defending Haltech. They had some golden years, but their history of problem products goes back a loooong time before that and now. My bro-in-law swore off them 15 years ago. Same stuff. Firmware bugs, patchy tech support complete with total ignorance of what was going on. Doesn't mean that there are not 5 or 6 other excellent options - most of which were also born in Australia.
    • mines a bit too fresh of a build, need to put more km on it before im ballsy enough to go further
    • I agree their STREET is limited in features, but both their RACE and PRO models have everything you could possibly need (I.E Knock, Built in EGT, Built in Wideband, Dual DBW, etc.) It's also cheaper in comparison with anything Haltech has to offer and more importantly from what I hear it actually works well.  I'm a little bias these days as Haltech has really turned into a pile of poop lately.. I don't know what's happening with their firmware team but I'm thinking it's outsourced and their cutting costs. There's always massive bugs, they're not doing any testing, there's no revision control (I.E They acknowledged a few months back that they accidently released an unfinished firmware). It feels like they're being run by bean counters vs actual software & electrical engineers. They seem to be to busy releasing new products as opposed to fixing software issues. As of 2-3 weeks ago they started a beta program to presumably op the rest of the end users out of unwillingly testing firmware's. I'm happy they're starting to listen to all the complaints. Hopefully it gets better fast. 
    • Any plans to seal it from the cabin? It will throw plenty of oil/grime over the years. On my auto to manual Stagea there is a custom ally sheet  to cover most of the hole then the standard rubber seal is attached to that to join to the shifter
