  1. Hey gents Quick question: The Mamba fasteners you see on fleebay (eBay), are they legit/what they are portrayed to be.? I want to change my manifold bolts out to studs and nuts
  2. Yep I can confirm after fitment of the hi-flow cat, it runs fine without a tune, can even give it a little more throttle than I first thought I’d be able to, she’ll be fine until it’s tuned
  3. So can I fit my venom 3 inch turbo back with hi-flow cat and baby the car around for a few weeks before I go get it tuned, I’ll be buggered if I’m paying someone else $200 to fit it when I can do it myself no worries for free.? ? Basically can I drive with hi-flow cat without a retune, but take it easy or not.?
  4. First thing, reliable + power = not cheap.! Secondly, who f*ckn knows what the tuna will do with the cam timing, so that question doesn’t really matter. (It depends on so many factors) Thirdly, all that stuff you wanna do sounds like about $5k minimum worth of parts/work/labour, is it really worth it.? There are some dirt cheap turbo falcons for sale at the moment, would it be better getting one of those.?
  5. Vacuum leaks are easy to find, use something flammable, eh, ‘brake cleaner’ or ‘start ya bastard’ engine should rev up slightly/ping if a leak is present when you spray the vacuum lines.
  6. Quality is not cheep, crudd is not expensive, can be a tough call, I think mine was about $275, has lasted 5 years with no drama until recently, oil seal is leaking now, probably be cheaper to replace the whole jack than repair the cylinder and seal.
  7. Best place to purchase a balancer puller for a Barra turbo motor?? preferably online. Thanks
  8. I have a left hand front lower control arm bush that is knackered, gives me a slight brake shudder from high speeds (140ish down to about 80, then goes away) and the odd small knock every now and again, might be worth checking
  9. Do you want the $$ or do you want the car.? The answer pretty much determines what to do with the car mate.
  10. Replace the hoses man, plain and simple, more likely the rubber in the hose breaking down and becoming brittle, as you squeeze it, it cracks, that'll be what you're feeling, seen it 100 times before in all makes and models of car.
  11. Hey, sorry guys, yeah worked a treat, ended up using terminal 5, compression varied slightly from 180psi in cylinder 1 and 2, and 175 for 3, 4, 5 and 6, so yeah not to bad for an engine with over 265,000km on her :D
  12. Thank you for your assistance and your awesome knowledge kind sir.
  13. legend, thanks heaps. Last question I promise, which number do I bridge from the relay to the battery sorry? 2,3,4 or 5?
