Don't cheap out on these cars. They respond really well with the right parts. Also, if you're going to go down these roads, you'll want to budget for a GOOD tune

Poor conductivity causing interference or an old code? -

Sorry, I meant in bricking the ecu now he doesn't have the xcal married to the thing. That's a real f*ck about -

Not impossible to fix the ecu but it's a right PITA. Herrods is your best bet -
Is K And N Air Filter Worthwhile
FiftyOne replied to Torq's topic in Fuel System & Induction Workshop
those ribbed hoses create turbulence which then limits airflow. Wouldn't put one on any car I owned -
Could be wrong but I thought it was the alloy tray, and maybe the rear leafs?

Nice one. Been a member a while I see. You'll be wondering why you didn't do this earlier!

Dat tank setup

Some early BA's had issues with the cam solinod getting gummed up I believe. They stuck and started a bad idle which got worse until a stall. They released a flash that purged the cams on startup which fixed the issue iirc Only had issues at slower speeds too. Only other thing I can think would be coils breaking down??
-
Even though it's possible to pick up extra boost, won't the ecus adjust the wastegate maps to hit the target boost over time?
-
Ive not heard of this. Got any pictures?
-
Awesome. I imagine a new set of correctly gaped plugs and it will drive like new
-
Once again, Phil proving he's the man
-
If the tune is good enough (eg wasn't a hack job) and all your sensors are working as they should, I wouldn't think it's required
-
Welcome mate. Soliniod and actuator could be a bit stuck. There's a thread around here re putting in a bit of wd40 to loosen it up. I'd also check the condition of the plugs and see if they are ok. Start with the little bits first
-
Might get a little bit of oil in it? Couldn't hurt to change it but really, if it's working, I wouldn't muck with it
-
Strange question, but are there any known issues with the 310 engine that might stop them using it?
-
I personally avoid shell like the plague, horrible fuel, at least around here. The fact we're getting more europen cars on the roads now probably makes a good case to put prices up now while we're not really paying attention. Most of them are at least 95 if not 98 required

If I wanted something that made a lot of noise when it wasn't really doing anything I'd get myself another girlfriend. I'd like it to shut up and behave like a normal vehicle until I poke it. And like my women, when I poke it, I want to hear noise
-
To some extent but it has a lot to do with how fast the turbine spins at certain engine rpm
-
Can anyone fill me in on what the NVH is like with the gtx? Looking to replace the 35/40 but I'm not a huge fan of the spooly goodness you get just poking around town with some setups. At the moment I like is as the noise comes on strong when there's a sniff of boost but doesn't sound like having a mack truck going through the gears when you're taking it easy
-
290wkw at 16psi? Tune sounds like it's horrible!
-
Dead/dying coil. But I'm only guessing

I've got a dyno sheet of a vehicle sold here a while back that was making 425kw 900nm with a stock box. And it had seen a bit of drag time. It will last, who knows how long though....
