  1. ohhh the come backs are bound to be endless and increasingly edgy as the debate roars on lol.......nothing like a healthy debate right boys? Anyway....back to BLSTIC and his original post.......sounds like you have plenty of options there bro. Good luck BC...I couldn't get into that link.....asking me for logon?
  2. hey thanks for the advice every1.........Tuffeys in Lower Hutt will face a pair of rotors for around $40 so I'll be going there
  3. here's a site that might answer some questions about water to air setups..........interesting read http://www.frozenboost.com/stpg.php?page_id=water_to_air I think you may have grossly understated the efficiencies of the water to air setup BC here's some more read of the advantages of water to air over air to air.........especially the bottom section which talks about faster response from the water to air system http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intercooler here's one for the air to air converts.................http://www.bellintercoolers.com/pages/techFAQ.html#FAQ_5
  4. just do it...don't do it...just do it...don't do it.....lol we're not much help are we keep asking questions bro......ask mechanics too
  5. you will find lots of varied opinions on this one and prolly not much hard evidence. front mount vs top mount vs water to air. G unit will prolly have something to say about this when he sees it cause I think he did the conversion on his gen1 (or was it gen 2?) from w2a to front mount and wasn't that impressed with the power gains.......or the extra lag. If u can mod ur manifold to flip around then u could reduce the lag and then maybe reap the full benefits of front mount. Don't dismiss the water to air set up on gen 1s. they are very efficient and can be made even more so by replacing the factory radiator with a bigger one. The factory one is prolly only half the width of the water radiator. It's maybe a bit more weight to carry around once the system is full of water but very efficient. Top mount setup to me doesn't seem to have the surface cooling area of front mount but isn't (i believe) affected to the same degree by lag either because the air isn't travelling through 1 or 2 meters of pipe. Being a gen 1 owner running w2a......my opinion is completely biased of course . oh....and ur gona run a vf10 at 22psi? maybe its possible but pay to check out the different outputs of the VF series turbos. I think there's a thread in here somewhere which lists the different characteristics of all the VF series. I would have thought VF22 or 23 at a minimum if 230 atw is what ur after?
  6. ok so mobil 8000 is a 10% ethanol blend with 98 octane rating?

    pods and water don't go 2getha too good lol. Yeah i seen sum pods set up just under the small bonnet grills. It looked to me as if water would just get funnelled straight onto the pod but if u aint had any probs so far then wouldn't worry too much bout it
  8. this weekend I'm off to palmy sat and back welly sun...........can carry small to medium
  9. I know what u mean about just gotta have the RS hehehe
  10. yeah nice little mod that one. I've heard (duno if true or not) that running a bigger radiator at the front increases the overall efficiency of the water to air system. Let us know how u go with it
  11. Your factory air intake is same as mine was except I've got an old skool leggy. For what it's worth..............here's how I've done mine Replaced inner guard because had hole and was letting water in. no water issues so far been runin this about 8 months now.
  12. now that u mention it........yeah does kinda look bucktoothed lol
  13. yeah I seen those ones........big arse Powerpro ones with silencers. Only problem is that the silencer apparently has to be welded in permanently for a warrant. I wana try avoid that if I can because those silencers must surely restrict the flow. Would rather have a quieter free flowing muffler at the back without having to put in resonators
  14. cheers G but my preference is for a straight thru system with no doglegs or cobys interupting flow. If I can get that and quieten my sound for 75 slides that's me all ova
  15. yeah I'm in L hutt. message me ur cell
  16. and it would bolt straight up to my 3" for how much?
  17. sweet appreciate the advice its all good. What about the ones adertised on TM?.....I have seen them with bolt on inserts that are supposed to deaden the sound. Anyone got one of these?.......and pass a wof with 1?

    yep another good option
