If my life is for rent.and I don't learn to buy. Do I deserve nothing more than I get. For nothing I have is truly mine. (Dido)


The road I walk is paved in gold, to glorify my platinum soul. I am the closest thing to God, so worship me and never stop.


New engine

Def not running rich

Cams are mild

One of the injectors is ticking so most likely that's the culprit but I don't wanna upgrade to top feeds unless I'm sure.

Bit of a weird issue. Damn trouble shooting takes time. I pulled mine off the road for 2 months after I got it. Started misfiring and wouldn't start. New Fuel pump. Rewired immobiliser. Checked injectors. Replaced coil packs. Plugs. Cleaned throttle body and intake. Flushed intercooler. Cleaned acc valve. 2x different cat converters. New exhaust. Fixed split dump. Castor arm bushes and rack ends, new oil feed and return turbo. Box diff and eng oil. Chased and checked all wiring. Swaged and pressure tested all intercooler piping and re-welded Fitted catch can and washer bottle. New pc valve. Radiator and viscous coupling. Assuming immobiliser and coil packs were the problem. Did so much at once don't really know what was wrong. Got a bit of belt noise now when cold so hope it's not the timing belt. Has a whodowah whodowah noise at idle now like something is struggling.? Thinking maybe the vacuum lines aren't quite right. Would like to get one of you guys to sus it out. Vented to atmosphere before but catch can isn't pressurising the crankcase?

On recirculation before the turbo impeller.

I'm in rocky at 9 so probably won't have enough time to zoom back to midland by 11-12 plus only have the Prado atm

A 29-year-old man has been arrested and charged with unlawful possession after police uncovered hundreds of avocados at his home in rural Australia.
The startling discovery was made on Thursday, when police searched a home in Renmark, South Australia.
Officers found a number of items suspected of having been stolen during break-ins throughout the Riverland region, including antique clocks, building insulation and a canoe.
But while the owners of those items have been identified, no-one has claimed the hundreds of avocados located at the same address

    • Damn it, I was at work last night, and stayed in a room there during the storm with the car outside, but undercover, I just went downstairs and well....there was a large steel locker that has come from some place last night, it wasn't anywhere I could see yesterday, and yeap, it landed on the fraking car....of course it did..... LOL So, I'll need to take it back for paint and panel, luckily it was only the boot that took the hit, so it could have been worse Serves me right for staying at work and getting on the cans with some of the boys
    • Yeah, really happy with how it all turned out As for aftermarket lip, nah, I'm not really a fan for practically reasons on a street car that gets driven everywhere  I did have the full lower kit on my 2015 STI, but found the front lip scrapped alot, even at stock 4x4ish ride height As the NC sits now, with the lowest point of the car at 110mm, so just legal, some steep driveways and steep speed humps will still "just" scrap those little plastic OEM air dam thingies on the undertray just before the front wheels
    • Here's one I help build and tuned a decade ago, Garrett  GTX3071R Gen 1, T3 twin scroll 0.83 rear housing. Went from larger 272 cams down to smaller Tomei Poncams to help with the low end. S13 non VCT motor. Car was purpose built for the track, hence low down was the focus. Note the actual dyno chart shows lower boost, however the EBC and boost gauge showed 1.9Bar (Ignore the torque, I was young and didn't know how to set derived torque)  
    • I’m doing some side developments on SR20det S13 engines, its one my hobby cars used it to compare flow capacity of some smaller size wheels. SR20det is one of another JDM legendary engines I'm sure there are plenty of SR enthusiasts on this forum, I will share results some common turbo configurations here. a quick run down of what the car is: Wide body 180sx Type X with black top engine (blue). It has: Stock bottom end Haltech 1500 ECU 5-0 motorsports trigger kit Kelford SR20DET Beehive Spring with Titanium Retainers Kelford Cams SR20DET S13 188-B 268/272 Cams G25-660 Turbocharger in T2 .64 rear housing internally gated ARP Head studs MLS head gasket 1000CC ID injectors Walbro 450L Fuel pump Front mount cooler kit JJR’s 3 inches turbo back exhaust (its too short for the 180sx it had to be extended) Pump 98 fuel Hub Dyno tune So far made 270rwkws at 22psi full boost by 4500RPM. Engine is very knock limited hence a pretty bad looking top end. From previous experiences it seems like SR20dets are happier with bigger size turbine, some thing like a GT30 would make way better top end, but on same time response is lost. It won't be a problem with S15 VCT engines. I'll be testing alternative turbine housing, turbine wheel and possibly dump pipe options for extra flow to resolve the problem and of course E85 would resolve all the issues.            
    • Awesome writeup and details. Thanks for sharing the story so far. I can relate to parts of it with my previous car and some of the issues I had to deal with.
