[Couper_Trooper]

shit, thats some good numbers u got there...are u using apexi power fc??? and who tuned the car for u?? sry if already mentioned.

yeh im running power fc... pm me for tuners detail..

could've got more power if i got a few more necessary parts.. but i couldnt wait any longer.. more than happy with the end result..

im sure everyones keen on knowing how long this setup will last..
dont worry if anything happens, u guys will be the 1st to know.. hehehe

shit dude...i got b16a2 with many dollars spent on the motor and im running like 230hp at the front wheels on 6.5-7psi i don't know what that is converted to KW but that isn't that far off man.

Wait is that at the Flywheel? or fronts?

FastFwd
171.511 Kw

Its about 170 at the fly for Couper_Trooper

So that means FastFwd has about only 25% more power then Couper_Trooper

Now thats amazing IMO

anyways i have a feeling the next thing that will need replacing is one of the gaskets. on either the turbo, wastegate or dump. that was my next thing....then the welds on the turbo manifold.

Also make sure you dont use the Gaskets they give you...they only lasted me bout 3 months

bloody psychic.. predicted my future..., lol hehehe

yep.. another gasket gooone on d turbo...
fark... 1 day after tune n problems have begun...

if ur gonna buy an ebay kit.. REPLACE GASKETS!!! as FastFwd says!!

are u predicting my manifolds gonna crack next?

coz i had a funny dream last nite (yep abt my car) i was looking at d manifold n there was a small hole opening up... lol

should i be worried?

[.::F[L]Y::.]

good to see someone testing the cheap stuff. Mind due some things from ebay are great!

props to you. but things like turbo setups id wanna spend abit more for the better stuff so less hassles down the track.

bro remember i said it already

1st: oil leek
2nd: Gaskets (thats why i said don't use theres)
3rd: manifold...
4th Manfold
5th: manifold
6th:manifold
7th: wastegate sticking
8th: manifold.

all those times i had the manifold rewelded and fixed...god i felt like throwing it against the wall...In the end i ended up getting the exhaust flange cut off and the turbo flange cut off the manifold, got them machined and then got my mate to remake the ramhorn manifold into the same style as the last but using 3mm stainless tubing not like that shit crap which i think was 1.5mm or something.

Its been on the car for a week now and no probs but i think i might be getting a slight leek out my turbo flange, one of the bolts ****ed up soo i think in a week or so im taking the manifold off again and welding bolts to the manifold so i just have to put anti-loose nuts on the turbo side so these things dont come loose again. 3 times ive had this problem, its cos the turbo and all the assembly hangs off that turbo flange soo over bumps and crap all the time it comes loose no matter how tight you do it.

Ahh bro trust me you will know soo much about these ebay kits when u get to my point...from ur point right now you will have alot of fun with it for like 6 months or maybe little more then u start deciding to swap this part for a namebrander...and slowely slowely you will get to where im at where i dont have anything from the original kit.

I think i told you, i made a Ebay kit Install manual guide. bout 25 pages with pictures and what to do and what not do to n stuff.

[Couper_Trooper]

Fixed the leak...

found out it wasnt the gasket but from the fitting after closer inpection...
went n got another fitting all good...

4 all ur turbo fiiting needs motorsportconnections

i did hav 2 replace the gasket on the turbo before my tune coz they jst seem 2 disintegrate...

anyways been pushin my car like crazy... trying 2 empty my tank which was filled wit 96premium petrol from a no-name petrol station.. had 2 refill urgently coz was on empty after tune...
dont know why i filled a full tank for.. lol
cant wait 2 fill her up wit bp ultimate..
270km & still half tank left.. now thats crazy...
