heyy buddy Nice looking car and power, where u get the tune done ?

If your from melb might see u cruising this wknd, If I get mine bak aswel :(

Would be great to meet ya, kinda show u wat your getting urself into lol, coz I had 377kw once lol was great fun for a while till a ring let go in the motor, probly would get fuel pumps and surge tank if u havent already

Cheers Johnny

and defently invest in some drive shalfs lol

I probly went through 3 in 2 months, but that's me..

Just get the billet ones, Im guaranteed if they break they give me new set for nothing, Ive got my mechanics to write it up for me

1500 each shaft I think?, they shouldnt break I guess and ive done a few transbrakes with semi's on them, they seem to hold up well.. cheers

Thanks for that info Johnny.

I had a good read through your thread... wow. Plenty of time and money put in mate! We'll see how mine develops over time, I can't really see a GT42 or similar in it. This car is a daily and will stay a daily too. So driveability is paramount to me so is keeping the ZF auto. Late 300's will be plenty mate. Bluepower in Campbellfield are doing all the work.

Good luck with your car!

hey jack... howz that limiter going mate.??lol

^{It actually isn't that bad Mark, the car has excellent off boost driveability}

^{In saying that though another 3000rpm wouldn't go astray either lol}

^Jack

sounds good jack... r u going to go turbo side airbox mate.??

have they limited the rpm via the tune

or just told you to keep it below 3?

cos if its the later.... hahahaha

I've put in a query to Theo about turbo side, waiting to hear back and Mex its limited to 3k in the tune.

Jack

nice.. I bet u cant wait mate.?

Alright

Bit of an update. Woke up this morning to a message from Theo about putting some more kms on the car...

I put on my overalls, flannel shirt, work boots, banjo and grabbed a tooth pick, shoved it in the corner of my mouth and took my housemate and Theo from BPR up to Heathcote for the Mud Drags

Put nearly 300kms on the car

We are over the 500km mark now, it will nearly be 600km by the time the car goes back to BPR tomorrow after I finish work, and the imposed 3k rpm limit will be removed, it's a 10 minute job. Sweet!!! No more getting beatup by Kia Rio's or Hyundai i30 diesels The tune will be left alone for now. Just the limit removed. It will give me a bit more freedom with the car which will certainly be nice. We took quite a few nice country B roads on the way home (to try and add just that few more kms) and it is actually quite difficult to drive the car with only 3k to work with on these roads. Relying heaps on brakes downhill rather than good engine braking etc.

In the following 500kms I need to decide whether I go the turbo side intake and battery relocation or not. Either way the car will head back to BPR after the 1000kms are up and a daily tune with 17 or 18 psi will go in the car.

Hmmm... got some thinking to do. In no way are BPR pushing the turbo side intake on me, if anything it's the other way, just enjoy the car for what it is and then decide. What I actually know is, it will provide first and foremost drivability gains on the road that a dyno printout cannot register. Yeah it will make more power with this mod too but I am looking moreso at the driveability. I see it as turning a great package already. In to a brilliant one.

Anyone here running a turbo side intake on an FG have anything they would like to add then I am all ears
