  1. No I didn't take any when I was doing it and they're behind a bunch of **** now that the engines back in the car. It was easy, It took about 10 mins to make them. From memory I just used a 40x40x1 square of ali and drilled 4 holes in it to offset the bolts in the rails toward the centre of the engine about 15mm
  2. I fitted this to mine a couple of months ago. not a direct fit for v3/4. the holes for the injectors do not line up I made some adapter plates to make them line up
  3. I'm in gisborne and need a tune. Anywhere in the north island will be considered. who do you recommend?
  4. when wiring in ev14 injector plugs does it matter which way around the 2 wires go
  5. do side feed injector harnesses fit top feeds
  6. do standard rails flow enough for 800cc injectors
  7. Is that the Need for Speed logo behind the front wheel
  8. turbo is a MSE td05/06 hybrid. i\'m going to upgrade injectors, lines and rails and then i\'ll have to get it retuned. I just wanted to understand how it works a bit better to see if I want to make the change to e85 while i\'m at it and only have to get it tuned once
  9. how does E85 produce power gains? my car is currently making 200kw at 17psi boost on 98. If i tune it for E85 will it make more power on the same boost
  10. hey guys the mrs car broke down and I need to get it fixed for her. It\'s a 1997 Mitsubishi Legnum. She says she was driving and it died and now it won\'t start. It turns over but it won\'t fire. She thought it might have ran out of petrol so she put more in but that hasn\'t worked. I don\'t live in Chch anymore so I can\'t fix it myself. What I need is for someone to go and figure out what is wrong with it and if it\'s easy enough just fix it. cash payment. car is in Avonhead cheers Shaun
  11. took three days but i finally got my wheels on
  12. what i don\'t understand is that a cylinder has a displacement of 0.5 liter so how is it possible to force more air into the same size space without upping the pressure
  13. does a bigger turbo running the same amount of boost as a smaller turbo mean that there is more air going into the cylinder than the smaller turbo
  14. just checking your math 565/5 = 113 113*4 = 452 452*0.85 = 384.2 drivetrain loss 384.2*0.85 = 326.57 85% DC 326 bhp = 243kw

    My new car

    hey guys i bought a 1997 WRX a couple of weeks ago and i\'m stoked with it. I went out to port Levy today to put it through its paces and it performed well. the previous owner had an engine built with forged internals and a steve murch turbo. plans for it at the moment are to do split fuel rails and then leave the engine alone. Bigger brakes Stiffen it up i\'ll try and get to as many club meets as i can. Sundays will be my car days, give it a clean and go for a drive, so if anyones keen to come for a drive on a sunday just hit me up
  17. fitted my new rear strut brace. replaced my uppipe ( what a mission). everything was going sweet, i'd taken off the downpipe and headers easily enough but then there was one nut holding the uppipe to the turbo that wouldn't come off. i tried CRC, rattle gun, blow torch but i ended up burring it so i tried vice grips which didn't work, i couldnt get the grinder in there to grind it off so i ended up having to drill the nut to pieces. i replaced it because it had a leak, i thought it might have been a small hole in it somewhere but when i pulled it out it fell in half. When i went to put the replacement in the same nut was still on it and after the CRC and blow torch didn't work on that one either i ground it off without wrecking the stud. It took 5 hours to replace the uppipe
  18. had a very productive day yesterday. installed my new walbro, new fuel filter, new coolant temp sensor, finished my braided fuel lines and used a can of upper engine cleaner. but it didn't fix my problems :-[
  19. have you figured out what was wrong. i'm having the same problem
  20. when I replaced my slave I was having the same problem. after bleeding it about 5 times and the pedal only returning halfway i noticed that the fork was only depressing the slave halfway aswell. so when i bleeed it again i pushed the fork back as far as it would go with my hand. if you haven't already tried that give it a go

    idle fault

    all new vac lines a month ago so no splits anywhere. i will check the gaskets. when i started the car to come home from work today it idled up to 1800 and then dropped away to nothing and stalled. would i be right to think that the temp sensor is tricking the ecu into thinking the car is hot so the cold start doesn't work properly?
