What a difference a single fitting can make! Honestly no idea why I didn't think of looking for a fitting like this in the first place 🤦‍♂️

New toy Snags cooking while the footies on

4 bar / 58 psi is the correct fuel pressure, assuming it hasn't been changed previously and tuned for something different

I would just get it retuned with the 10psi combination, as you know it holds that boost level just fine. Turning it up a few psi from there will be a breeze. External wastegate for your application is a waste of time and money. While you're checking stuff, make sure the actuator rod isn't touching the engine mount. They can do that and cause issues.

To be fair freaky knows we use Milwaukee... he sent me this last week trying to make me jelly of his new tool.... he’s a Milwaukee die hard now ...

Hey homies...... Rainy day car picnics down the Fleurieu Peninsula .... the best 🥰

Kinda feel like getting that week off work for getting the cough, got things I can do while I got the covid - like polishing the rig 🤣 I like to do the old fart in the car with the Mrs in and lock the windows 😈

Mashed potato is bloody awesome

One of the only things miss 8yo likes to eat. I think she'd be happy with mashed spuds everynight

I guess it's good to be known as the guy who works on his own car then haha ... #silverlining

it'll be enough

yes, that's at regular atmopsheric pressure for any rev level that gives you zero boost or lower... it only rises due to the positive boost level when it is applied.

Not much that you could tangibly record with the small turbo, factory cat back flows well enough upto -350rwkw across multiple turbochargers its a sound thing on the small turbo only really but obviously a good mod in line for more power later

Yeah man, just keep an eye on the boost gauge and an ear out for it, if it starts surging then get off it. In that case it will either need the other spring put back in that it was tuned for or a retune for the lesser spring.

No

You are Wrong Cheers

I was just about to write something just like that.

In other news the neighbours have a little baby.... Pretty sure I just heard that baby say yeah nah

Was that you up there shaggin in the back of an escort wagon back in the early 2000's?

Haha the Parade and Skye - having flashbacks to my P plate days

Tis the parade puff went out for tea she’s purrrrring .... permanent moist spot on my seat when I drive or passenger in her

On a brighter note....

yeah, pretty confident it has the better rods.

If you run it on gate it'll be fine. It will be marginally slower to come on boost. The pcm will be doing stuff in the background trying to control it but it doesn't matter. Just make sure your desired boost table is set a few psi higher than the actual boost. At this stage if you can't dial in the factory boost control you may as well chuck a boost tee in there or an aftermarket ebc. I wouldn't be doing that myself but sometimes you're stuck with what you've got. Pm me your tune file and some logs of super cold weather and normal weather and I'll have a look for you. Make sure at least part of the logs has some wot. Aside from that tell your tuna to remove some duty from the cooler part of the wg map. It needs less duty when the air is denser. I reckon this will be the issue.

Haha hopefully I've got a few left when the missus gets home. I was out of the car though, the fart made it's way through the boot and into the drivers seat

good that the bend is finally getting that planned drag strip built.

haha I always try to avoid farting in the car where possible, I time them very well for just as I step out of the vehicle, my missus can confirm

Dropped the kids off at school this morning and as they were getting their bags from the boot I shared a giant fart with them. Apparently the fart wasn't ready to leave home cos it was waiting for me in full force when I got back in the car

It's a home build. Had the motor build by ample Auto down south so they will do the tuning. I'll start a thread soon 😅

I got a g40-900 going on mine with crow cams, custom alloy intake. Getting the thing tuned next month, the build is still in progress. Pretty excited to see how it goes

Went in my territory twice. First time I had 500awkw and smashed everybody, second time had 700awkw and the trans broke 2 seconds into the first run. First time had heaps of fun though. Will be heading back out there later in the year with 700awkw again and hopefully have a better time. It's a bit boring being a spectator and it's a heck of a drive from my house, so will only be heading out there to drive.

Did someone say highway

Hey I didn't want to say trannys 👨👩🌈 Dirty things.

stock injectors for an fg xr6t max out at around 280ish rwkw. stock pump runs out at about 300 (maybe a bit more, but most don't lean on it) stock injectors are around 320cc/min, from memory. next logical step up is FG F6 injectors, at around 42lb (400ish cc/min) the one that all tuners like is the 1000cc bosch EV14 injectors, as they're easy to tune and have headroom left over for upgrades in the future. Yes, the 1000cc ones can run as nice as stock. You can go with whatever your tuner prefers to tune and your budget allows and your power goals are.

not bad... might have caught covid haha haven't tested myself but had a fever late Monday through to now... been drinking litres and litres of water and not really letting much of it out... wearing a mask everywhere... we'll see what it is when I test myself as I get back... I'm not testing myself now as they might not let me on the plane (that you have to wear a mask the whole time in anyway).
