Sounds like fun
Sounds like fun
Its still going to be my daily car, i dont think it will be much different from brads, unless i go for new injectors, which is something i cant afford/justify right now.Originally Posted by Robotnik123
Basically it was just supposed to be clutch and flywheel, intercooler and piping, but i found the turbos were no good, so i figured that rather than invest $X in getting the car back to plain, and given i already had the MAP2, why not throw a few more and get something more fun to play with, and carsten steered me down the single route, which makes sense $wise.
Hopefully with the dual fuel map function, i'll be able to cruise around using less gas than the rest of you
Also theres no way Brad would let me have the fastest VR-4 in the NZ section, so i wont even bother.. ...i'll just lift off when hes around until that engine of his is built that is
Honestly i just want it to run and not explode under boost, anything else is a plus
Yeah thats true, the stock injectors are at max on my car, so unless a single TD05 spools faster than two TD03's (possible, we don't really know) then I would win I guess.
*cough* launch control, *cough* flat shifting *cough cough* lightened flywheelOriginally Posted by bradc
..smaller tyre treads

.enough of this dreaming anyways , got a heck of a lot to do to get it actually moving first
Wow, it sounds like your car's could be quite evenly matched! Any race could come down to driver's skill and luck on the day. Anyway, at least compare G-Tech numbers when you're done, the results could be quite interesting.

Ohh and remember the facelift advantage counts for at least 0.5 seconds
i might start my single turbo conversion soon too
just been offered a evo7 turbo with a 10.5 turbine fitted,
its had a hard life, but its been rebuilt when it was needed... so no damage to any important expensive bits in it.
it will need a rebuild soon again, but just seals/bearings/balance.
only $100 + rebuild when i get it done
will check it out tomorrow night?
mike, why did you suspect you bearings were gone in the gearbox? because of shudder? or did it have a noise? if it was shuuder that would have just been your flywheel i would have thought
Cause i aint no mechanic Plus there was a bit of oil coming out between the main gearbox join, at least i can put my mind at rest for now.Originally Posted by Subaru ETA
lol fair enough then
getting mine sorted, at alltech,
needs a td05HL small rebuild kit (just oil seals)
and a balance and shes good to go
I can't wait to see the result...... Good luck........

Is It done yet??!!!
yyyeaaah naaahh,Originally Posted by Gly
I fitted the flywheel and clutch, but didnt get around to fitting the gearbox. Ended up spending today at the zoo... in hamilton
Weighed it though, and dry it weighs in at 56ish kgs.
I'll try and get it done this week but im sooo lazy
so that explains why I thought it was heavy when I was carrying it!
The auto cars are specced about 40kg heavier, no wonder I couldn't carry one of them.
Looks like the build is going well, keep it up Cant wait to see it finshed

Looks good Mike. I have your loom all ready for delivery, just let me know when you would like to have it back
so i can come around tomorrow and take it for a drive then?
No, but you should be able to push it around by sundayOriginally Posted by Subaru ETA
Got the gearbox back in, quite a **** job if you are trying to do it by yourself with a cold and a poor temper, but its done now.
Also rerouted the main loom-ie bit behind the clutch line so that it follows the gearbox, and hopefully should be out of the way enough. Still need to bleed the clutch to make sure i havent done something retarded, but then the rest can go back in.
Also got the hoses, clamps and blanking plugs etc i need to finish off the power steering and turbo coolant / oil drain.
Apparently i have to wait until its all mocked up before i bother getting an oil feed line made though.
good ****!
so when will you need a hand?
