oh ok! ill definitely have to look into them! thanks so much

haha thanks man! turbos are new to me starting to understand the language now, well i can do any amount of mechanical work myself, and im a tightass! so please ill have to see what i can find haha! yeah wow haha 104mm off a cat would be a wicket sound! haha the HX35s? what is that?

thanks that was incredibly helpful! i know im going to get slapped for this, but I was going to try and run it through the stock Getrag 260, any bets on how long thats going to last? haha i would take that offer in an instant if i was in perth, haha so a taiwan spec turbo's arent so bad...

started prepping my car for a bit of a turbo setup. the car goes to the odd road course race so looking for something with quick response but still decent power (7-10psi) has anyone here had experience with single turbo ecos? looking at maybe a gt3582r off a XR6 turbo? any other suggestions...

just about to go buy new coils and shocks, for a 1998 vs ute, its gonna see the odd track day but be super super low budget, do i just go for the king springs and KYB shocks?? it already has whiteline sway bars ect, price is the biggest issue, hopefully will have koni shocks one day, but for...

Hi, i have a VS ute manual (getrag 260) onto the v6, ive owned the car for nearly a week and ive notices that the car is either spinning the wheels like crazy or some crazy clutch slip. heres my evidence, please help! - the LSD is rooted and could just be spinning one wheel? - the speedo...

I am quite competent in fabrication and I would like to build my own CAI, I have seen a few designs and will try to make a few models and work out the best. If they are successful would anyone be interested in purchasing one? will be around $230 delivered with a mid range pod filter or more with...

yeah they are right, lowering a vs is not fun when it comes to legal, they do sit quite high and it is only legal to remove a 3rd of the travell and that makes only king springs low legal, and SL's just not legal. so up to you! but ive got ultra lows and i get **** all the time from cops along...

I have done both styles on 2 utes! first one we hacked through the tub into the cab and mad boxes around the rear of the subs in the tub and made a waterproof toolbox around them with amps! and it was so stealthy! the other way was a completly removable box facing into the tub in a seperate box...

Thanks a lot ill re do it just properly this time

this has been around for a while havnt really looked into it, sounds like a clatter and turns into a tap at higher revs around 3k, i know its not lifters because i replaced them because of a few faulty ones. Sounds like it is coming from the front of the engine, could it be a chain clutter? or...

Hi, i just pulled apart my ECU for the firs time to replace the memcal! and came across this! i knew someone before me was dodgy with wiring but not this dodgy! he has linked the two black wires together and a 3rd wire connected that isnt going anywhere! (the green one) now my guess was that...

thanks a lot

yeah ive done some heavy towing with my ute, and ive got electric brakes. Also lowering the diff ratio gears is what one of my mates has done and he cant travel as fast but it makes everything a lot easier

yes just tap into the wires before the loom enters the actual lights else you will have to drill through the plastic cases, then ground it out on the bullbar, also recommended to put a fuse on the positive as if the lights get busted it wont put out the rest of the lights

from what i understand the idea is to stop any oil from entering the intake, so yes, any lines from the rockercover or anywhere that oil can be compressed through that leads to the intake is important to complete in the circuit of the breathers.

mine got ripped out by a kangaroo, but its only needed for A/C i believe so i think the supercharger is much more important

i know there are solid axle conversions that people have done, but yeah there is about 20mm of movement i believe but i dont think it is needed??? also as you asked lots of vs's were solid axle

Hi, i have done some intake mods and cat back exhaust, now i want to get a chip, i want wandering is there a set up where i can get a memcal that will suit my set up? or can i get something to do the programming my self? i would love to be able to do my own programming as everyone in my...

thanks a lot, if i decide not to get new injectors, anything i can do to improve my fuel delivery besides servicing the injectors, fuel pump fuel lines anything like that?

Any recommended injectors for a v6 ecotec to support power mods such as twin TB, rockers, and other bits? cheers

Now thats a thought! ive got a good idea using a middle rod with an outside piece that only engages when the primary throttle is about %20 open, but i have all the sensors worked out ill work it out somehow.

yeah thanks! ill have to look into it

this is what i have done today, involved cutting up and milling down the plenum, then pulling apart the TB's and modifying them to only have one of both sensors along with being able to connect them using a rod

thanks everyone, the twin throttle body is just a project more of because i am training to be a fabricator it is more of a $30 project but keen to see what results i get. Also are high lift rockers computable with a cam? or will that just be complete overkill?

Thanks wozza! i did that as you said then as i was just doing a double check on the engine i found a vacuum hose had just popped off! so i think that may have been the problem, thanks though

i have just starting making my duel throttle body (yes i know it doesnt do much) but i got all the parts for $30 and i can make the rest for free so i thought i may as well! But here is my question, if i put the MAF sensor in still will it run ok? i can imagine there would be some catch or...

it fails to drop back down to its usual idle, its a pain because it likes to sit between 2000rpm-1300rpm, sometimes it is normal but not often. with a massive rev up to nearly redline it will drop back down to normal idle speed but i dont like doing it. To me it sort of sounds like a leak...

Hi, ive just started to modify my ute! its fair good condition and i want to start making parts! I am in the middle making a twin throttle body for it with modified intake out of alloy! when it is finished I need some advice! whats next? do i get a tune? do i wait to put new rockers and...

i went over a bump and must have broken a connection! so my dash gauges went all crazy and the tac said i was hitting 12,000 rpm!!! found a decent speed bump and that fixed the problem!
