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

I got attacked by a meat pie, so bought a tshirt from the op shop for $3.

Yeah man, should only take a few months to get strong again. Haha I'm sure you have some strength to you by now, you seem to have been pretty consistent with your efforts.

I'm using pretty light weights atm, I'll increase it as needed.

I'll take a picture later. Mine is divided in the collector. A single gate works fine for smaller turbos like this one and was ok for my 7675 I had on there a couple of years ago. The 77mm pulsar had a minimum boost of around 24psi and the 85mm had a minimum boost of around 30psi. I had thought about using a straight gate with a big turbo and night end up trying it one day. I expect the setup had potential to make low to mid 400s on 98 and 600 on E85. We shall see when I've set my dyno up.

Haha dong isn't getting any smaller, sharing is getting lol Second day back in the gym, been a long time since I was in it. Things are going well, muscle memory is my bitch and I'm looking forward to seeing some steady progress again. As always I'll do a 1rm attempt, but it won't be until the end of the year. Here's to hoping I can add another 10% this year, sh*ts getting harder as the years go by but I ain't dead yet

Other things are coming to a close and quite successfully, farken hooray. Onto the cars, I have ordered and bought things for future shenanigans. I'm going to swap the engine and trans from my na territory into my genuine turbo territory. The engine has a host of upgrades and it's much more durable than a stock turbo engine, while the trans is the built turbo trans. This body swap will give me factory boost control, along with quite a few other benefits. Better brakes, better exterior and interior condition, thicker driveshafts and a full suite of PCMTec credits with antilag and flex fuel are just a few of these benefits. The parts that are here, or in the post, are to facilitate a slight modification that I've always wanted to carry out. The current turbo is a genuine Garrett gen 2 GTX3582r supercore, it is housed in a factory T3 internal gate Ford turbine housing, with a flapper upgrade. It's making about 16psi on 98 right now, and probably makes about 330awkw through the stock TT exhaust system, albiet with a high flow cat and debung carried out. I have a T4 split pulse 0.85 external gate turbine housing that fits the GT and GTX 35 frame series of turbos. This is to be combined with a split pulse T4 6boost manifold, that will have boost controlled by a 50mm Turbosmart external wastegate and a 4 port Mac valve. It should provide a nice wide boost range, perhaps 7psi up to 30psi. I have a 3 to 4 inch adapter to connect my custom built 4 inch turbo back exhaust to the turbo, as it only has a 3 inch vband outlet. Another minor modification is a new fuel pot, it will house a single 525 fuel pump that has a dedicated power feed, with option to add another pump when required. I think that is about the extent of this round of work, it'll still be on 98 but I will be able to make a bit more power with the upgraded hot side. I have a bit of an oil leak at the sump, so I have talked the missus into taking a couple of days off so I can smash this out. This is the primary motivator for all of this work, we all know how oil leaks are treated around here!!! I am particularly curious as to how the turbo will respond, I am hopeful it will spool quicker, yet have less back pressure to allow more timing, less heat and have more potential for higher octane options in the future. That's all I got for now homies, here's a pic of the different housings side by side. The T4 is just slightly bigger, but being split pulse should spool like a mofo!

Oil leaks can be fixed. Find the leak. Fix the leak. Hope this helps.

It was a tasty one, for sure

Another pic

Roast veg and this for dinner tonight

Yeah I'll take a photo or 2

Yes the wifi is decent, 100/20 for the most part. Dyno is going in the shed, the shed will be getting a bit of an upgrade over the coming weeks to accommodate it. Will need a lot of sound suppression lol

Yeah I use frig all

20GB data, unlimited calls and text, $16 per month. Pretty happy with that

Yeah man a new one is 77k, I got this for half of that. A similar one just sold for 50k so I'm pretty happy with it.
