Bourbon's not a good enough sedative - got the jelly wobbles

[tim_81coupe]

Quick post to let the WA guys know I've solved that boost problem I was having. Mainly thanks to OS making me have a little think after hooking up AndrewT's boost controller.

I had the little tee piece in the wastegate line around the wrong way. So the restrictor was pointing to the wastegate, rendering the boost controller ineffective and thus only 5psi everywhere.

Certainly wasn't a complete slowpoke on 5psi, as one VN SS owner found out the hard way. But let me tell you - 12psi is a whole other thing! Really feeling those power upgrades and in particular not having boost taper.

Grinning ear to ear atm, shaking from head to toe. I need a rest.

Thats great tim
I hope it goes so fast that we will have to titanuim plate the body
to help with the sonic booms .

[mattims]

good to hear the coupe is finally well... ive been waiting for a ride in this for a long time!!

[BaronVonChickenPants]

Great to hear it's finally healthy, sounds like it's time to stock up on brown trousers

I stand by Dave's don't kill yourself.

You'll get your ride. After I smoke your B4. Motorplex soon? I still have some bug ironing, but I'll be killing axles down there as soon as I can. Hope the box stands up to the new-found vitality.

Titanium plate the body? Hope not, although it seems to hit the top of third gear stupidly quick now. Once I get a good map in the FC and some good huff into the motor we'll see. I think I'll certainly be stretching what an EJ20G is capable of with this setup, next step (if there is one) will be a later model rebuilt motor.

And Baron, its more the brakes that cause brown trousers! I must admit I've stopped shaking now but it certainly leaves an impression!!


Not planning on killing myself any time soon, car will most likely have a nice sleep until the weekend care of the pushy.

hehe ive been practicing my launches .. somehow i just get the feeling your going to leave me behind on the launch .. and then pull away further to the tune of a couple of seconds.. but hey it'll be fun to watch.

I'm keen as mustard to line up the both of ya's.........even tho mines just a 100% stock RS setup, and I have no idea at all how it drives yet!

(oh, I do have a $30 shiny pod filter from Repco.......that may give me an unfair advantage)

[mattims]

nope ... i think its shiny pod filters all round for us three.

[BlackMale]

Nice work Tim - look forward to seeing her going again... unless you start busting all ya shafts again :P

Mine's not shiny, it's a genuine K&N with a black K&N sock over it.

I spent money. Yes I did.

Already done one, today coming home from work. No worries, spare is in already :P.

[mattims]

well my pod itself isnt shiny .. its a k&n one too .. but the pipe connecting too it now thats something else itself .. shiny shiny shiny polished metal ..

[kwijmbo]
