Puffwagon

No pms thanks, I've turned off notifications and don't intend on checking anything. It has taken up many hundreds of hours of my time and makes me wish I rode a scooter instead. Best thing to do is to start a thread, or just ask in the thread you already have.

First question: In the latest pump I built, I used aftermarket gears, I used a billet backing plate, I used a high pressure spring and I used an adjustable relief which is wound up as much as it will go. So yes, the gears change the flow, the spring changes the flow/pressure and the adjustable relief also changes the flow/pressure. Second question: You can do that if you like, however there are multiple factors to consider before just slapping them in and sending it.

I do it myself.

Head studs and timing kit arrived today and the head gasket will be here tomorrow. Should be up and running on Sunday, weather permitting.

There's a clip that you pull towards the passenger side, use a pair of pliers to grab it or something to lever it out. After that it will just pull straight up, although you might need to spray some WD-40 to help it come loose. Make sure you don't bend the housing or it won't want to pull out afterwards. There's a vacuum line that needs removing as well. If anyone is wondering why the fark I'm replying at 3am, my bastard cat decided to hide under my bed and woke me up at 1am to get out.

Not an overly exciting day but I got some stuff done. Swapped the drivers seat into the other car, fitted the 2009 headlights and front end onto the 2006 TT, fitted the turbine housing onto the 6boost manifold, frigged around doing some turbo fixing then fitted that into the turbine housing. Ordered a headgasket, ordered a new oil fitting/restrictor, my other parts got posted today and I think that's about it. I reckon I'll swap the ICC over too cos the newer one is slightly better. That reminds me, the TT is set up for FG coils so I have to remember to put that rocker cover on when it goes back together...so I'd better paint it so it looks a bit less sh*t than primer Here's a pic of the hotside, the front end and the seat and console back together, cos we all like a pic or two

Lol I was just about to post the video

That car is now in possession of Maxx Performance

The fun continues... I resealed the sump no worries but the head gasket has been leaking, so I pulled the head off. I've ordered a set of Optitorque head studs as my old ARP ones have been used several times, an Atomic timing chain kit with a genuine tensioner and will pick up a genuine single layer head gasket from the parts store tomorrow. I swapped the intercooler into the other car, got the battery charged, so got a couple of other things done. I've still gotta do some work to the fuel system and I suppose I can install the trans etc while I wait for the engine stuff.

Got the engine and trans out of the car today, will get to resealing etc tomorrow. CBF writing much more rn.

NB is narrow band, it has a very small voltage operating window. WB is wideband and it has a 0 to 5 volt operating range. If the voltage doesn't move the car is in open loop or the sensor is stuffed.

A nb sensor reads from about 0.1V to 1.5V. To see if they're stuffed you watch it swing and if doesn't then it's usually stuffed. The car has to be fully warmed up and it has to be running for longer than 40 seconds to ensure it's in closed loop.

Homemade pizza tonight, this is my one, haha vegetarian pizza cos I like the veggies

Yeah she knows. The previous owner tried concreting the back half of the shed and didn't bother screeding it. I bought a jack hammer and removed it cos it was completely and utterly farked. As a result only the first 5 metres of the shed has concrete and the rest is dirt covered in carpet, until it gets fixed. The shed is already 11 metres in length and I'm going to extend it a further 8 metres, concrete all of it, then make a dyno cell inside it from cool room panels with acoustic foam lined inside to prevent reverberation. I have an extraction system with it, it has a couple of pipes to line up with the exhaust so can do twin or single exhaust vehicles. It then goes into a 2 foot vent pipe with a hectic fan. I bought an 8mx4.5m above ground swimming pool somewhat recently that I want to set up after the dyno. I'll hire a bobcat to dig and prep the floor for the shed as well as prep a pool area out the back. I think I'll scrape a lot of the back yard to make it flat and probably do the front yard too cos it's also farked. I'll do a whole bunch of grass seeding for the yard for now, I've had success in the past doing it and late winter/spring will be the best time to get it started. So yeah that's the rough plan, I've got the funds available to do it all, just gotta fix my car first cos it's a priority then I'll get into the other stuff.

Tell that to the missus lol. She's finally come around though, I'm still surprised she agreed to buying a dyno.

Nah he hasn't got all his parts yet and obviously there is a wait time on the machine shop etc. I'm gonna fix my car first, modify my shed, then install the dyno. Lots of work ahead but the results will be worth it.

Haha there is a certain level of irony there but it's all good. I have an engine build coming up soon for a guy, piston/rod deal with all bolt ons and tune. Should make some good power once I'm done with it

Yeah nah, I charged $5 per hole

Yeah man I used my petrol powered digger, she's putting a fence up. I just saw her asking for help on FB so I messaged her and went out and did it. I had replaced the carby and tuned it a while back, so it just needed fresh fuel and was good to go.

I just dug 35 holes for a lady in the span of an hour and got paid $175. Killer on the back and shoulders though.

What are they doing?

Tuning is tuning and the principles are the same. Read the damn thread.

Tell your tuner to read the FG boost control thread on the PCMTec forum or find a better tuner.

Yep I can get away with it so why not?! I never need to dress up anyway lol

Yep I'm happy with it. I think I'm gonna buy more stuff from there, I don't care that it's cheap, anything looks good when you've got gains
