This question has been asked millions of times, and yes i have done LOADS of research but just want your opinions...

Rebuilt V5 STi motor - what oil viscosity should i be using? 5-30, 5-40 or 10-40?

Probably going to go with Penrite brand.

So the loads of research told you nothing? What about the owners manual? What about the engine rebuilder?

See what the manual recommends for your climate and minimum spec but prob a 10w30 SL semi syn. Well at least thats what I would run in your circumstance.

Brand doesnt matter just dont buy redstamp buy agip/total/elf/castrol etc.

I would agree with asking the engine builder as they should know what would work best. As for the research I must admit I looked into this and found that everyone seems to have a slightly different opinion, So the research would not of told him nothing, it would of told him too much.

The research told me plenty, I didn't say I wasn't taking it into consideration I asked for the OPINION of clubsub members. Was told to use whatever I want by rebuilder lol

Can someone tell me what car/s my zerosport intake fits?

One end is 70mm - the other is 67mm - both +/- 1mm

Was sold to me as being suitable for my v4 sti - however when I went to put it in I quickly realized it is far to small!

Have tried googling and cant find ****!

What makes it racing? Just the label on the side?

It's a mix of group 4 and 5 synthetics while the HPR-10 is group 3, therefore not a true fully synthetic oil.

The full synthetic stuff less prone to shear apparently thus better for racing.

Can the WOF man fail you on a perished accessory belt?

If it's just running the aircon compressor, no, if it's running the power steering, yes, if it's running the alternator and it's on a vehicle that doesn't have a vacuum pump built into it, probably not.

so i think i bought the wrong fuel hose it says not for fuel injected... dammit

Yeah low pressure hose, not rated for the 60-odd PSI you'll get on an injected turbo car.

Perfectly fine for breathers and most vacuum lines though.

      Afternoon team,
      im new to the group first time posting. Im hoping some body can help me get my launch control all dialled in on my link g4x. Ive had the computer and car all tuned from chris at prestige awesome knowlegable guy super happy with the results but now im wanting to get my launch/anti lag all dialled in. Ive been reading multiple different forums etc all with different conflicking information which has made me nervious with what do i listen to this or that if you get what i mean. Now ive started to make myself familiar with my PClink software etc the past few weeks and im eager to learn how to do minor setups or tweaks etc so im not relieing on my tuner so much and obviously saving myself abit hurt in the back pocket. 
      Now back to the question at hand.... Im wondering if theres and one who could please share there knowledge and wisdom with setting all my values, timing, fuel etc when i have launch control armed and engaged, or even a launch tune file they can possibly send me to load onto my tune. Ive figured out the setup of my digital inputs turning launch control on etc and its obvisously on its pre set factory settings. It engages but doesnt sound the greatest or as angry as it should i feel. Hence reaching out to you good buggers. 
       
      Cheers in advance for any info and help yous maybe able to give me.
       
      Cheers Shaun
