Mexican Invasion '17. Vic/SA cruise 24-27 March 2017 **UPDATED**
Puffwagon replied to Rab's topic in South Australia
I'll say my goodbyes after breakfast on Sunday. -
You gunna buy a genuine gtx comp cover? Why not put those funds toward a gen 2 gtx supercore?
-
Swap the cap and see how it goes.
-
Mine reads 96.6c cruising and 101c when flogged on hptuners. The gauge shows 1/3rd regardless. FYI thermosyphon is an effect that takes place in nearly all cars. It is not xr6 specific. That is the reason that coolant takes the route it does.

Don't I? Please show us the quote where you "said" this. Brb flow testing every injector on the planet.
-
Put what in where? This^
-
So most stock injectors are drilled?
-
K31th ya ballbag. There is a part number on the side of the injector. Read it and then google it.

It'll be in a tray due to the setup. I'm just contemplating a marinade and also a home made bbq sauce for finishing. Haha you can tell I've been watching youtube. Edit: better let you get your coffee man.
-
I hadn't thought about it but now that you mention it I do have some rolls in the freezer.
-
Only quoting cos I have a lamb shoulder that is getting a slow roast in the bbq later today. I'm gonna chuck some plum sticks in too just cos.
-
Rollmops. Lovely. Pickled herring and onion. Huff...my wife loves them...not.
-
Yeah man. Get your runs overlaid and see what just changing only a housing does with no tune changes.
-
I was watching some old 0 to 100kph runs with my stock turbo today and it came on much quicker than it currently does. I've noticed that going from the stock cast wheel in a stock housing to a gtx wheel in a non ported .7 housing added spool time and moving up to a gen 2 gtx66mm supercore added more spool time again. The mid range changed a fair bit each time and the top end only really came alive with the latest turbo.
-
The guy who put a gtx wheel into a .7 housing for me said that the wheel would be choked by the smaller housing. Obviously all compressors can be pushed to the choke line with a big enough turbine but in saying that I haven't plotted what the various combinations will do on a Barra. @JETURBO would you care to add to this? I'd just yell fish myself but then again I'm a slack arse these days.
-
I found some results somewhere on the net ages ago and it was fark all difference but different none the less. Iirc it was 200rpm spool and almost no top end. I can't really remember the whole amount of testing done. That garrett quote contradicts itself anyway as we know there are a couple of compressor a/r options with the gt35r as well as many different ported and non ported housing types that affect spool up.
-
Don't do it then. It's not worth doing it just for noise. You'll add spool time plus pay for a retune. Lots of time and money for fark all. Just yell "fish" when you floor it if it is the spool noise you're after.
-
Yerp. Whs. I can get mine with just spanners and sockets now but fark me if I didn't have fun doing it the first couple of times.
-
Earth and 12V cables and a little bitty switching wire. Three in total. If it is just crap on the shaft then you can key it a bunch of times to clean it off. If it's the brushes then it'll be hit and miss whether it will work. It'll help to smack it while turning the key. If the armature is rooted then I wouldn't drive anywhere. Prognosis: you'll be right mate if you fix it asap.
-
Solenoids stay good for ages. It is usually just a rusty crap build up on the shaft that prevents it from throwing the gear out. If you hardly use your car then a new starter would be the go as once rust starts on the shaft it likes to grow back and fark it all up again pretty quick.
