  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

    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

    /quote]

    Just get your current turbo highflowed by MSE and tune at 20psi. Should see 230-240wkw but injectors will stop you achieveing that.

    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

  3. 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

    Basically if you change anything in this whole system, you can affect how much air (mass, not volume) can get into the cylinder on each revolution.

    i.e. if the bigger turbo can raise the intake up to the same pressure as a smaller turbo, but it does it more efficiently so that the air doesn\'t get heated up as much, then it is more dense, so more mass of air gets into the cylinder.

    thank you Koom

    I found this on perth-wrx forums

    " Originally Posted byEVL WRXCC of injector divided by 5 x how many cylinders = Max BHP at 100% duty.

    So 440cc injectors in a 99 will equate to a max BHP at 100% duty cyle of 352 (263kw).

    At 85% IDC to be safe it is 300hp (224kw)

    Assuming around a 15% drivetrain loss, that would mean at 85% ICD the injectors can support 190kw\'s at the wheels..

    At 90% ICD (still pretty safe) they\'ll hold 201kws atw...

    Use anFPRto up the pressure and they\'ll hold more kw\'s at the same %\'s...

    Hope this helps

    Cheers "

    565/5 =107

    107*4 =428hp

    Drivetrain loss, 428*.85= 363.8 hp

    Convert to kw, 363.8*.75 = 271.3kw

    That\'s obviously at 100 percent duty.

    Interesting peice of math though.

    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

    Think I see you parked at the lights on brougham turning onto Colombo heading toward hills today?

    yea mate i would have been there just after lunch.

    i want to get bigger wheels anyway to bring my speedo closer to being accurate. when the speedo is on 100 im actually doing 92

  7. 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

  8. 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

  9. 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

  10. 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?
