Greg: boot rattles... here we go hehehhe :) this the hardest area of any vehicle to stoff rattles and soundeaden :wave: there are a couple of options.....

1. put rubber matting in between the boot welds....

2. soundeadener in a can on the boot lid...

3. soundeaden matting on the boot lid...

4. after doing either one of these it looks cool to cover it up with a custom made interior panel to cover it over. not very expensive at all, hopefully that should fix it... it really is a common problem for any car.

by the way... screwing your number plate down with 4 screws (one in each corner) with a rectangle sheet of rubber matting behind it will stop your number plate from rattling almost completely :P let me know how it goes mate ;)

How to get rid of high pitched alternator noice once and for all ?? (I got it down to a bearable level, but is stil there)

Have tried the following :

Run RCA's and Power down seperate sides of the car -

Earthed the Amps as well as I can - (pretty farking good)

Tuned the amp hi pass and low pass filters as best I can.

Cheers,

brendanf: What it sounds like you need are some noise suppressors how many channels is the amp?

if it is four channels you will need 2 suppressors

if it is two channels you will need 1 suppressor

you can pick these up for $20-$25 from any decent audio store, they plug straight into your rca leads at you amplifier end :wave: let me know how you go brendanf

And yes i can get them  :)  they are an absolutely kick ass set of splits  :P highly recommended

I was looking at the 2 way. Had a listen to them, also the MB quartz and dynaudio. Boston sounds more warm.MB too sharp and dynaudio sounds a bit dull. They're not suited to my style of music.

i agree, the Bostons do sound warm and great  :P have you gotten any prices so far on them? when did you want them?   ;)

Best retail price I've got is 800. In about 3 or 5 months. I can get them now but no point since I've got no amp. I figured do both at the same time.

Silver-Arrowz

when you want them let me know. the focals are good too, i sell both; but i certainly know which i prefer, i would always go for the bostons, they have a really distinctive sound i think :D let me know either way :)

akeenan:

i didnt know anyone still used compression horns, i have a set at work but they are hard as shit to sell because it is hard to find the right person (let alone right car!!!) to fit them in hehehe :) horns are the bomb when it comes to quality in a lot of respects though :)

    • I'd use any fuel safe foam....mine went in 15 years and 15 rebuilds ago, still getting reused I'd have to say I don't understand swapping to studs to fit a particular baffle unless you are having a massive blowby issue, and even if you are addressing crankcase not head breathing is probably the next step.
    • BTW, the reason I came in here to "update" this list was that the Garrett G Series II range have been released and I've updated the list with their flow details if you're curious to check how they fit with previous Garretts and other brands The G-Series II G35 990 looks like a banger...
    • Hi all, I thought I'd put one of these references in here before but it seems I haven't - not sure how many people are actually using this place still but I feel like there are guys lurking about who might find this reference useful or interesting.  A lot of the time people don't catch key details or even fully understand how compressor maps work - or don't even look at them and just go from heresay about deciding how different turbos may compare, but I've been putting together this table over the years as a quick reference to get a gauge of how certain compressors compare to cut down the time that can be wasted looking around aimlessly. * This relates purely to compressor flow, so won't necessarily reflect the outright capabilities of these turbos as the power potential also comes down to the turbine side.  If you understand this, you should be able to use this 😃 * The inducer and exducer size listed are the mm of just the compressor wheel * The values under the "psi" headings are "lb/min airflow" and reflect the maximum airflow that compressor supports before it's efficiency dips under 65%, or it reaches it's maximum speed - whichever comes first. Any questions, or requests for other turbos which the compressor map is available for then let me know 🙂
    • And what you pay for a pack of 8 bolts and nuts at Bunnings, will land me 200 of the same nuts and bolts from a fastener shop.   M12 * 1.25 IS a standard. It's not like ordering M12x1.25 and hoping the thread pitch is right. Unlike ordering an ounce, will get you 4 different amounts depending on which ounce someone takes it to be. Your issue is a supply issue.
