Sau A.c.t. - What Did You Do To Your Car Today?

[D.I.Y. Mik]

Only went for a little drive, barely warmed up, but its heaps better than the constant drone.

[Got a Pulsar]

Droneless is the New Black.

[azathoth]

New studs in (had to clean up the nuts with a tap as they were binding on the new studs), cometic exhaust gasket on

and new turbo gaskets on and lines hooked up

Time to head home and finish a job application and come back tomorrow and fill it with fresh oil and coolant, hook up the dump pipe and exhaust and start it to check for leaks.

[Got a Pulsar]

Wicked. Love your work Andy.

[azathoth]

Thanks man. The R32 actuator i got off you points a different way to the 34 one so ill have to take over some tomorrow.

So much evidence of exhaust leaking from the turbo flange and some of the manifold nuts were finger tight.
I imagine my exhaust will be much louder now

There is something weird going on with the stock boost control solenoid.

One of the hoses(top one i think) is blocked off with a screw and the bottom one runs to the air recirculation pipes. No ideas what's going on there :S

I'll work out which wire i need to earth tomorrow as well.

[Got a Pulsar]

You don't want to earth it do you?

If plumbed in with the 32 actuator you'll get 12 + psi.

Just a hose from the turbo nipple to the actuator will give 10psi.

Take the solenoid out.

[azathoth]

Yeah..... don't want to break another exhaust wheel before I get a good ecu and turbo.

[Got a Pulsar]

I meant to ask you too, did you fish the bit of exhaust wheel out of your Cat?

[azathoth]

Wasn't there intact...it was lots of small pieces. Looking at the other blades it looks like it came off bounced around the other fins got chopped into little bits and the rest turned to dust. from what i could see anyway...i might take the cat off tomorrow bang it on the ground and make sure.

got my alarm fob working!! Now have 2 that work.. wish I knew it was so easy before..

also got new keys cut =)

its the little things..

oh, made a cardboard template for pod box just to see what I'm making and I rekon i'll just buy one. By the time I buy tools etc it will be about the same price and a lot less hassle.

Just changed oil and plugs. Just wondering what mods to start with on my 33?

[Got a Pulsar]

What do you want from it? If stock boost, do the Free High Boost Mod first. 7psi all the time.

Andy mine is the same, i was planning of hooking up my Mac Solenoid when i saw it and thought dafuq is going on, how is it controlling boost. my gauge reads 14psi too

[..::R33GTS-T::..]

Haha yea the guy before me blew the turbo. So he replaced it and had it running 12 psi.. He took the boost tee buy hay I'm only on my ls.. I don't need huge power from the girl !

I'm going to sound like an idiot. Haven't read through the whole thing yet aha. Where is the solenoid

[B-rice]

I just took pics of it its next to you power steering container the black or plastic container near your left strut tower.

[..::R33GTS-T::..]

The one where the boost line out of the back of the manifold goes to ?

[B-rice]

third picture of my post

or theres a better pic if you go to page 12 of the thread Rob pointed out.

The thing with the 2 hoses coming out of it and black wire.

This shows what to do.

[..::R33GTS-T::..]

In robs first pic the top boost line has been cut and clamped and the black wire has already been earthed. But I haven't seen it hit 6psi
