its fast but im not happy with it. probably not a good swap all things considered.

Benny, for interest's sake, I'm intending to keep the k6a complete for a future project in the pipeline.. Still sorting out the clutch, cable didn't work, hydraulic conversion with a CNC pull cylinder instead. Bought a new toy/tow vehicle this week (D21 Navara ute), more keen on tidying it up as a d...

Well, the workshop where I work has an off road buggy. Well, the boss' son does (also works there). It was powered by a de-compressed G13b turbo. Since CAMS decided that anything running a turbo was placed in Pro Class (i.e. engine restrictions of 3.5L turbo or 6.0L N/A), clearly this buggy was at a...

thanks for the offer on the box but a g13b turbo swap is just about finished (no longer awd). starts and runs.

not entirely sure where it'll head next, depends how cheaply i can find a donor suzuki swift or barina

Was going at reasonably hard, rev limiter 4th, changed to 5th, kept into it for a while and it jumped out of gear, gear stick returning near neutral. continued to jump out of 5th so to the workshop we went. Pulled the engine out and gearbox down, the retaining nut on the end of the shaft holding 5th...

finally broke the gearbox

Hey guys, the results from two days of shakedown are in! The Good: - Cruises along happily at 90 km/h, 4500 RPM in fourth. labours in fifth at that speed though. - Dependant on where I hold the throttle (retarded lower ignition map to help spool the turbo at the expense of low power), coolant temps ...

Also, the old graph is about 40% LESS power .
The new graph is about 70% more power (not far off 120hp which is 100% more power)

105.8 / 61.6 = 1.72 = 172%
So that's 172% of 61.6, which is a 72% increase in power

Sorry, I just noticed that.

Cheers Brayden :D power = work / time* therefore: horsepower = torque / revs* So, if the peak torque is higher in the rev range, the peak power will be higher and correspondingly later in the revs too (as power is a derivative of torque). Keep in mind though that I got my HSC results today and only ...

Most issues have been resolved, so I'll just leave this here Today's effort: IMG_0003.jpg Known Issues: - Clutch adjustment bolt contacts a radiator hose. - Intercooler is WAY too small. A water-to-air or dual water-to-air intercooler setup is on the cards. - Already a rattle in the gearbox, may hav...

Goofy: you've really mastered the art of navigating import monster still frustrates the hell out of me!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zw9xw6V1Spo Here's a little video of the progress I made today. Only worked on it for probably an hour and a half. Last night while researching all about it I set all the parameters on a blank file, wrote them down and transferred them to my ECU today. I kept going unt...

Pops, bangs and sex appeal :lol: it's all about learning, see what works, what doesn't, overcoming issues as they pop up and finding the limitations of myself and my machine. I've got a few people watching over my shoulder to make sure I don't go too far, but for the most part I want to be able to s...

Cheers Lunacy :) Since my last update all that has been happening have been mind games. Holy Shit... From the ECU's perspective: "Hey, you've done an alright job of wiring me, but I'm going to float some channels to ground just so your fan turns on when you turn the ignition off. Oh you fixed t...
