Dedicated DA9 Q & A thread

just though I would post up a few pics of what I am spending my time on at the moment, I should start a build thread one day-

Traction bar install, interesting to note that the bar including all bolts etc saves 3kg in weight-

Aluminium Fluidyne radiator, fans are in a weird place to make room for the turbo-

Turbo on its way out and once I get a couple of minor issues sorted a GT3071R will be going in-

my workspace-

unfortunately the 'minor issues' probably wont be sorted out until Tuesday as it takes a while to get parts, so she is going to have to sit there limp and on stands for a while. Aside from that, all that is left to do is modify the wastegate actuator bracket to give me more room and then everything can go back in ready for a tune.

i like the traction bar, i got one on the way as well :)

Mooshie man, that is one sweet workspace...

It was one of the reasons we bought this house (dont tell my missus that...) there is a double carport in front of the garage and the lounge room and study is on top plus a small storage room off to the left of that photo.
I have a small garden shed waiting for me to pick up so that i can get all the damn garden equipment out of there, its all stored on the other side of the red car at the moment.

seriously, after years of renting and although I always had double garages, it is so good to have a workbench, vice, and room in front of the cars to work in rather than either having to move one car out or work in the driveway.

do u have a hoist aswell kos the the grey da looks like its up some how doesnt seem like jackstands

I wish... I just use the jack in the photo, it goes up to 500mm which is abut the highest I could find anywhere for under $200. Use the jack points at the front where the tow hook is and do one side at a time with a smaller jack to just support it when you move the big one so there is not too much of an angle with only one stand underneath

hey mooshie, wats the light underneath the handbrake light mean? on the da6
i know its connected to that sensor on the exhaust

It's for the catalytic converter, it connects to the sensor just behind the cat with a simple circuit directly to the dash. The sensor loses continuity when there is a problem with the cat, usually excessive temperature causing the orange light on the dash to illuminate.

yeh i was thinkin that, cuz it turns off sometimes, cheers man
any that will fuk immediately, like i shud fix, cuz i got another engine goin in soon, so not in any rush to fix it lol

when you do your engine install, I assume you will be getting a new exhaust to compliment it, should solve your problem if you get a new cat as well.

ah yeh i am lol
and obd1 lol, that light goes bye bye
i was just curious
