  1. More videos are under roninexige. He has some goodies racing bikes
  2. Can you not just use a bypass after the supercharger?What ratio is the supercharger being spun at Looks like you've done well welding those cast bits. Would you be able to explain what you use for cleaning and welding? 4043 rod, pre heating and plenty of cleaning? Keep up the good work
  3. Just be aware that there are replicas of these around. Can be spotted by number of bolts and I think th lip is slightly different
  4. I'd use the standard coil on plugs. No reason to run leads. They just increase the chance of interference and add something else that could go wrong You can pinch the ignitors from bosch ecus Ignitors go between the coil and the ecu.
  5. I have some in Hamilton
  6. You can use all the factory sensors. I can share the sensor settings when you need them. Knock sensors will be more of a hindrance than a help in the beginning. Very nice turbo MLM are you using bip373's?
  7. where are $80us arp's? i'll definately buy some of those. Cheapest i've been quoted or seen is nearly double that. Your after a bit more power then I am. Looking forward to seeing how the 2.8L lasts with some good tuning. Not to mention everything between the engine and the tyres I'll personally be making my own manifold(when I find a turbo or mock up turbo). It seems that the flipped manifolds work and if crunchy gives a thumbs up why not. With the plug and play you might have a few problems with using the non vanos engine. I'm not sure if ecu pinouts are different. I do know the trigger points are different. Not a big deal but it makes it a little more tempting to spend a bit more and get an xtreme. Well it's a lot more if you get carried away with rewiring things
  8. That turbo looks rather cheap for what it is. What are you doing for the engine? shimmed gasket or full forged big boss gear? I should be ordering in a thicker headgasket and some arp head studs soon if you'd like to share shipping Congrats on the job
  9. As kws has said look for a milkshake mix I'd also get a sniffer test done. This will check if there is any exhaust gases going into the cooling system I wouldn't be getting any new parts unless I knew I was keeping it
  10. Thanks heaps sp8s. Blackie i've passed the parcel
  11. Where did you get the black plates from?
  12. Anyone have a link of where to see it? Even if you have to pay
  13. half the door entrance height http://www.motorsport.org.nz/sites/default...-Sch-A-2010.pdf

  15. That's looking amazing. What size tubing is the small stuff going to the subframe? Do you have to add that to your homologation drawings?
  16. have a perv through a bentley manual. This site has a link to it http://www.jonkensy.com/DTA/ he's also got plenty of info on sticking a megasquirt on an m50/2. http://www.jonkensy.com/megasquirt/

    Av Gas

    Not going to do anything for you The higher octane is necessary for higher compression engines and some turbo engines. This is because these engines are knock limited while using lower octane fuel
  18. All the adjustable lower arms are about the same. Whichever one has the best heim joints will be the best. I've got some blue thailand ones that are nice to adjust(crappy rod ends). I still need to get some more k's on them to know how they last
  19. all the info you need is written on the alignment sheet.
  20. For the rub on the front you will need to centre the steering rack. A good wheel alignment should sort that out. You can also get steering limiters Has mag and turbo done a wheel alignment? I'd get them to do everything or return their product and go about doing it yourself with a different set of springs
  21. If you've got access to a tig you should definately be making one yourself. Flip some manifolds and join them together if you don't want to go all out.
  22. Keep up the good work. Hope your clutch kit holds You might want to reconsider using an ebay manifold. If you look through ben's posts he mentioned that they aren't a good fit. You'll also want to reinforce them to have any hope of it not cracking. Have you decided on what sort of power you want from this
  23. scrape out all the gunk from inside your gaurds then beat on the lip with a rubber mallet. If you need the gaurds to be nearly flat use a roller. Heat it if you care about the paint inside your gaurds( I personally dont and just respray it) If your gaurds are full of bog things will get really funny which ever way you do it
  24. Ray you'd definately know more then I do so i'll take it back.
