The Wasteland - ACT Style

[Got a Pulsar]

Better Safe than Extremely Upset.

10 - 12 psi. Stick to 10 untill you really mean it. <<---- I will make this Happen for you Rosie Cheeks.

this ^^. Your other options are to get a -7 turbo or rebuild your current 1 for like $400? built to n1 spec so you can run heaps moar booooost. Your other option is to just get a blown turbo really cheap from somewhere and when you get the chance upgrade it to n1 and then just swap it over whenever you get the chance.

How does this N1 spec compare to a Hypergear Hiflow? Similar? I think that is approx $1000 to Hiflow. OP6 Hiflow being a better result than a 33 Hiflow...

[RosieR34]

I like the sound of this N1Spec Rebuild - $400? Cheap enough ! At what PSI can I run safely with a N1 Spec rebuild?

Thanks Rob, Richard and Anthony

Just doing more research... n1 may not be an option for the 34 gtt... ill do some more reading..

[Anfanee]

yeah scratch that. Pretty much new turbo or high flow the current 1. Both will need a tune so add another heap of cash there for a nistune etc. Just drop the boost down and wait till the turbo starts blowing smoke, then replace it lol

14psi is not guaranteed instant death for a turbo. It's heat that kills them so if you only boot it occasionally and for short periods you will probably be OK for a while. But 14psi would not be OK for regular, full throttle stuff like multiple drag runs or a track day where it has long periods of high boost and no time to cool down. I reckon NAP is onto it, there is probably a simple plumbing problem.

As for gtr turbs....n1 spec is OK if they are ball bearing (ie R34) but terrible if they are bush bearing R32, R33 or "nismo". They are still a pretty small upgrade, so maybe not worth all the hassle unless you are doing it yourself

[Deziner]

um - not sure that's good value for money. Check through Cooma Diesel (GCG, Garret reps) the cost ....

I was quoted $900+ per turbs way back when.

New = $1250ea for -7's. Now they are $2300 a pair.

You may wish to join Erics GB on the HKS ss' when you find out the price.

He's doing a pair with full kit for $3k

(expect commission if he does Mr Deziner)

Of course! ; )

Actually there has been very little interest in it so far.

eyy guys just been noticing theres a higher theft rate of cars now in the ACT. I think theres a group thats started stealing peoples cars just as a joke. The shit thing is that my immobiliser plays up all the time. Anyone know of any fuel pump cut tricks or something to stop them. Ive just started putting on a steering lock thats only for overnights though as i park outside.

[Got a Pulsar]

Switch in the Boot, on the Fuel Pump wiring would do the trick.

Not a Bad idea at all...

[RosieR34]

A steering lock sounds good. Might chain my car to the wall and purchase a pitball dog to sleep in the car overnight. I'm going to start parking around the back. Just a pain to get in and out. But atleast I can purchase a tent to cover it without looking like a nob lol

Im thinking about that maybe maybe making it wireless like how you unlock the car. Saves me the effort of opening the boot but if its gotta be done ill do it the hard way.

Do we have any word on where these steals are taking place? North side / south side of even suburbs?

[Duncan]

if you want an unobtrusive way to make sure it doesn't start, just unplug something important in the engine bay, but leave the plug touching but not properly plugged to it's normal place. The crank angle sensor plug, ignitor pack or resistor pack would all make the car crank but not fire.

assuming they aren't towing it away

[Anfanee]

or just insure it for an agreed value higher than what the car is worth and sleep easy?

ROSIE IS FAMILY !

So far they have mainly been going through the Northside (Charnwood). Been seen driving commonwhores (vn, vr or vs, a supercharged stato and a ute).

They got chased last night at around 3am but got away.

They are stealing cars and car related parts (wheels, turbos, front bars etc...)

[RosieR34]

I'm in Charnwood (well DUNLOP -60 seconds away). Yep - parking it around the back...
