As always a quick check with virtual dyno, now it makes 291awkw at 13.7psi vs the 276awkw it was making at 13.4psi previously. It's also only making 203awkw at 3500rpm vs the 300awkw it did on a cold night a few nights ago. That's what's gonna keep the rods in it lol.

That actually the main reason I swapped it. The little turbo was making a sh*tload of midrange torque whereas this one has moved it up. The little one actually made 300awkw at only 3500rpm once, the larger one wont do that which will save the rods lol.

Once again it's all keefs fault...I installed the gen2 gtx3582r I had sitting on the shelf this morning.

Yay Friday

It might, one way to find out. Maybe it needs 2 turbos to keep the exhaust separate?

Turbo 5.0 VN coming up..

Indeed, I blame you lol. Car is much better now though, it's actually decent to drive.

I already trained through it for 3 months last year which prompted a month break in Jan. I should have calmed my farm when it initially got injured but I gotta be a hard head. Oh well muscle memory is a thing so it wont take long to get back and I'm more than big and strong enough to have time off without turning into a toothpick. I already lost an inch off the arms but it's all good.

This thread is about my territory adventures so may as well do a consolidation post here. I bought another territory, 7 seater, cloth interior, non turbo 2009 model zf awd, 360xxxkm, lightning strike same as the turbo one, trans in limp home mode, clunks and bangs galore, busted tailgate, no oil showing on the dipstick, farked lifters, overheating, slightly missing, $1500. I probably paid too much for it but considering I can do all the work it ain't that bad. So far I've chucked a reco tailshaft in it, new rear shocks, new front diff bushes, new front wheel bearings, new front lower ball joints, front sway bar bushes and links, a second hand set of trans solenoids to fix the trans issue, an engine service, a trans service, fuel filter, thermostat, rocker cover gasket kit, external trans cooler, a front mount intercooler, 1500cc injectors, 255 fuel pump, drop in adjustable fuel reg, valve springs, anti pump up lifters, roller rockers, spark plugs, genuine coils, billet wheel gt3576 with flapper mod, stock dump and stock turbo territory exhaust, engine tune obviously, trans tune, a second hand tailgate to replace the trailer hit one, 4 tyres, brake pads all round and I reckon that's about it. No doubt I'll remember something else once I hit post. I've still got the rear sway bar bushes to install and also rear diff bushes. I'll get to that in 3 months when my arm is better. It started out at probably 130awkw as an na beast, probably went up to 145awkw with a tune and now is sitting at around 275awkw with the turbo stuff installed. Anyhow there is that, now people can read about it here instead of it being spread out through the forum.

Ok saw the specialist today about the elba. He reckons an 8 to 10 week rest is needed from the weights. The last time I was training properly was the first week of feb, so I guess another 6 weeks will do to make sure. If it flares up again he said he will do surgery to fix it, so that is an option if needed. I give it a solid meh/10

Yay Thursday

No that's next year's project

I've redone all the shift maps in my other territory, it took frigging ages.

I raised it 250rpm to 6250rpm and put the fuel cut to 6400rpm. That's all it needed. My shifter needs addressing, it won't shift up gears in manual mode so it's always in auto mode. I'd have to remap the shift points to get it to rev higher in gear and ain't nobody got time for dat.

And...I used virtual dyno to see where it's at, 276awkw at 13psi. Haha...hmmmm....what's next? I'll think of something

Got it all finished a couple of hours ago, test drive successful and a new rocker cover gasket kit got rid of the spark plug hole leaks. As always when going from stock springs to beefy springs, the difference is night and day. It pulls hard to redline now and with decent springs and anti pump up lifters, there is no valve float whatsover. I'm gonna have to raise the rev limiter by 100rpm or so, cos it tagged it in auto mode on the 1>2 shift. Happy days

Valve springs are going in, Plazmaman Pro

Yay Wednesday

Yay Tuesday

Yay Monday

Yay Sunday

Yay Saturday

Haha, if the pics match

That's one way of saying you're gonna buy a treadly

Sorry I'm not up to date with who does what in Melbourne. Someone will have an idea though
