Mugabetown - Whoretownin' At It's Worst.


Recommended Posts

Survey says 535.9rwhp at 21ish psi. Tried more boost but had spark issues. Chucked in a new set of coppers and it got worse and that was the end of tuning. Didnt even get to start bringing timing back in.

Goes hard tho. 2nd gear no longer very useful

that's great numbers Mike

In fact that's 400rwrk

What fuel did you use?

I'm hearing good things about twin GTX2863's in the -5 housings. upper 400kw's at all 4's, full boost earlier than normal -5's.

Wonder what other companies have cooked up though, all I really hear about is BW and Precision, but they both only really make bigger turbos

yup!

I think that my next build / upgrade will incorporate them

Hmm, a little under 400km's from Toowoomba United to Kawana to home. To Jerry can or not to Jerry can. I guess there is the united in Bald hills if i get desperate on the trip home.

Pete there is also one is Caboolture mate just up past the train station

Id jerry can it. That way you have peace of mind

The store in Caboolture is 400km's from my house to leyburn to it. However there's a store in the 'switch now which is a perfect midpoint, so i'll be right. Bring on the weekend!

I was meaning more of a pit stop on your way up to Kawana for a top up

    • Cheers Lith! You're right, it's entirely possible that there's other reasons for the low compression. It's off to the shop soon, skipping borescoping etc and just getting it out and apart, we'll see what it looks like then.
    • Wanted to clean the film behind the triple gauge so the lights show through better.  Progress so far….
    • Yes, but it's not as easy as pulling a fuse on anything other than an R32. There's a routine you have to do, involving disconnecting a loom plug and bleeding down the preload.
    • A question for tuning awd, is it possible to disable the AWD? The stagea is an EA/T AWD, Toshi had said on a GTR, he was able to disable it and make it 2wd. Just wanted to double check if this was possible
    • Whoa, that's a name I've not see for a long time! Sorry to hear about the engine / turbo damage.  Fwiw with any engine problems it often really a case of just seeing what happens when it's apart, ymmv - I wouldn't rule out the possibility that the damage isn't even from the turbo failure, or possibly from a combination.  The airflow between cylinders isn't dead even, injectors can go off over time as well, with the turbos overboosting if you didn't have upgraded fuel system there could have possibly been a bit of leaning out - stock triggering is often a bit unreliable by this age too.  Basically its an old engine and a few things could have been going on, and you won't know how much work is needed until the engine is apart.
