  1. If it's a full stand alone ecu then yes, it "gets around" the security.
  2. Is that into the sleeve n all? Fuck me. Anywho I'd say the head is saveable at least Just had my head welded and skimmed and block decked for $190 + gst Go see Dan at east city reconditioners, he's old school
  3. Have a maf? Check it out
  4. Do you have karate laser eyes? can you rotate the booster? aka move the vac line. (pull shit, spin drum, attach shit, I think mine is like that) Then if you still need room, you might even have room in the chamber to notch it. Of course that means sealing it up perfect again A smaller cylinder is your friend if you lack the spirit of karate
  5. You could angle that trumpet as well. 3 and 4 don't breath in at the same time
  6. The rubber won't be doing jack except acting as a spacer for your riv nuts so yeah, not really isolated If you can have some rubber without the fixings going through you'll be in a better space Needs to be able to move independently. Lets save you some pingas!
  7. I'll quite you unless you quieten down! Mounting is most of the noise I find, how is it currently mounted?
  8. HighLUX may still have the repair manual PM him
  9. Similar with my plenum and booster. Luckily found a 323 which was smaller to do the job. Brace the engine, 25mm is miles!
  10. They're aluminium. Aluminium is solid until a billionth of a second where it's soft then it's liquid. Hahaha. Feck! Diesel pistons will be forged steel real soon just you wait
  11. Awaiting decal instructions
  12. E85 would be perfect! I'll have a look at coatings. This stage flattop and leave the rest, longevity would be nice, I think I could scrape 12psi out of the turbo and will probably just run two maps. Regular 7psi map and fuck your flash car 12psi map. Though I found out yesterday that a ford ranger is faster than a brand new lamborghini. Made the fucker move over he was sooooooo slow, poor car
  13. Today's topic is brought to you by dirtpoordaddy.com and Dirty Freegan Mods Ltd. Hello, Not wanting to buy forged pistons as the arse has just dropped out of work I figure I would try and make do with what I have. I have some domed 10:1 pistons and I'm going to use them in a turbo build. FE-DOHC. Some measurements have left me with 5.18mm in the piston crown if I flat top these buggers (about 1.8mm off) Having an engine builder owe me money is handy so I went to see him with my silly idea. He reckons have at it. "I've got oil squirters to help with cooling the piston" I offer. "Block them off, they're just creating drag" and as I sit here I ask google Oil squirter which it starts to suggest: delete block off plug So I guess it's popular. But this ain't no race car scraping out 1/2 hp advantages so methinks I'll leave em alone, cooler piston sounds better than any other trade off. And then..... "Mill off these here piston skirts" he reckons. "Won't that make it rattly at start up like a forged piston?" I respond. "Yeah and what?" was his squinty eyed statement. I suppose pistons pull a couple thousand g's.... but that seems excessive, I think he's getting excited and I'd like to see him do the math though some basic math would be 3000G x 9.8ms/s x 0.02g = 588W. Non-linear accelleration etc etc would be some area under the curve type shit.... I digress. Who's had a go at modifying pistons and how did it turn out?
  14. I'd have the non integrated controller just based on gauge size and later wiring. both look fine to me!
  15. I'm sure I'm not the only one with a chub. Well done, excellent work!! Sounds happy as!
  16. I find temp of the manifold is only relevant when hot starting or when sitting in traffic etc.
  17. It's more 3rd on account of how fast you'll be going in 4th
  18. It's where you need a nice long hill to provide resistance. Great if you can max out in 4th but probably going to be 3rd or something. Get her rolling at low rpm and into gear then just brick it till you run out of rpm. Make changes and repeat
  19. I consider many things it's a sickness! Sometimes having a read will stop it surfacing in my mind, tick of some of the how's and what's. Or maybe if I can't find some low comp pistons for the fe3 I'll build an lpg turbo instead, haha.
  20. Thanks nj, that'll be my next port of call. Reference library..... Just means I cant take it away
  21. Bah, damn mobile, probably should be in fs/wanted
  22. Sadly I'll read pretty much anything... Do you know how many Agatha Christie books there are? Lots, so to help me not read those, because I don't wanna, does anyone have an electronic (or otherwise) version of AS/NZS 1425:2013? Yep, even though lpg vehicles are on the decline blah blah. Many thanks
