Small update.... ITS RUNNING. Fired first go! Smells like burnt dust apparently .

A 9174 would just make the EGP pressure issue worse and in my mind it seems like a bit of a GT RS shit going on. Not that it's horrendously bad (It wouldn't be no twin buttplug pressures), That's NOT

Nah Marko. The 5's and all the pipe work will go on a shelf in the garage all wrapped up. The condition is that this precision must beat the -5's in all areas!

Jez matched the -7's with a 6262, you'd think I can match -5'a with the next size up.

Also, spoken to Yavuz about engineering it AND passing emissions. That was another 'condition'. Both he said would be no problem.

the turbo size doesnt matter much for emissions testing, bigger is better in that regard as it doesnt come on boost during the test.

cams are another matter, you dont want big cams when going for an emissions test. good cat and some E85 will make passing pretty easy.

mine passed with the 3L and 35R on a euro3 cat.

Oh i know, but when a little SR is beating your -5 graph both down low and up high with one of these things, not to mention Jez's result it's really saying something.

If it's a huge flop then nothing is stopping from bolting the little baby -5's back on.

The overlay graphs from the other day seem to suggest there is not as much in it as everyone is saying, at least @ 20psi - and given you will run more with both...

Big call you are making here.

Lucky you still live with ya mum.

I reckon the -5s will fall over at 25-26psi and the PBT will b good for 30+!!!

f*k -5s....

Just because you can't fix your 40rwkw hole :thumbsup:

Plus for a car that gets street/daily driven running that type of boost is just asking for problems IMO. So much stress and pressure on the entire system... Not to mention if you do track days as the heat would also be a factor to consider. Hence all these Time Attack cars you see running 30psi+ are generally one-lap wonders before the heat sets in. You won't see them doing 5-10 hot laps :)

      Import insurance in 2025

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      And that's a massive problem, because deadshits will deadshit and give you false details. At least in these days of mobile cameraphones, it is trivial to take photos of any ID they are carrying at the same time as the 300 photo extensive documentation of the state of the vehicles that I recommend even for minor incidents. And you get photos of the person's face, any visible tatoos, etc etc, while you're at it. Then you try to avoid mentioning that you're fully capable of making explosives of various power levels and will wreck their shit if you are forced to hunt them down.

      Import insurance in 2025

      No, I don't remember the exact reasoning (was 20 years ago!) but the cops didn't end up supplying it to us either. Actually my mother went through a similar thing recently where she was hit when stationary, flustered and didn't get address (she got plate details, name, phone and insurance company, but not address). Person who hit her blocked her number and their insurance company (naturally) would not provide any details. Her insurance company also required her to pay the at fault premium because she did not have the address, cops did not help as it is a minor civil matter (they said their only course was if the other driver had left the scene of the accident without providing any details). She only ended up getting that refunded because they happened to be insured with Suncorp and she was with APIA so same company owners. For some reason the address is critical in insurance companies recovering money from the at fault party

      If you're driving something like an R32 through to R34, no chance of meeting Euro4. Euro4 came out in 2006, and car manufacturers back then were complaining how hard it would be to meet those regulations. Not a chance a vehicle 10 years earlier is going to be compliant.

      I presume it would take more than just slapping a big modern catalyst on the exhaust? It's interesting though, looking at the old sales brochures and listings it does not mention anything about emissions. No one cared.

      Yeh nice, looks like their part of keep it reet? Will have to swing past. I'd much prefer someone actually look at my car and custom make a part, then get a generic part online and hope it works.
