i have had my Wide band in the same spot for 4+ years... havent had an issue... i found it more accurate/responsive in that position...

remember the stock O2 sits basically in the same spot (GTR's, Supra's, etc).... and has never had an issue.. then again you are meant to change them every 90,000km...

and TMAK is back from the dead.....

Hey bro hows the mak goin? Still looks as good as ever!
What internals did you use

[TMAK]

^Yo Jamie, I ended up using manley h-beams and wiseco 1400HD pistons (10.5:1).

Sorry bout the no updates people, I normally update on EvoOz time to time. From here on, I will do direct copy from EvoOz and mark the dates on each post until I catch up.

My bad. Just watch this space.

Yep, back on the road... only done just over 400kms.
Back on stock turbo and stock injectors.
Can't remember figures but it was rediculous something like 220kws on 0.8bar. Torque? - burnzy can prolly recall numbers.
Not really keen on figures as I'm still running the motor in.

Some pics:

Here's the cockpit:


400kms for the first tank. Should be ~30kms more but my battery died the first night I got it home.


First fill up.


I also sold my 1986 VR4 powered Cordia on the weekend. Some of you may know this with the 'FRONTN' plates.
Had 167fwkw's on 16psi running an Evo 7rs turbo.
Which means I'm shopping for a turbo... But which one...?

It's been awhile since I've updated. Been busy with work etc... I so need a holiday!
So I finished run in on stock TME turbo/injectors on 98ulp a while back.
Nothing really new with the car beside a carbon vortex generator and a +100kw 'burnzy tuned' sticker.
I did bust a cam sensor and that was replaced, I got a cam sensor heatshield off cory@dryden with 'TMAK' laser cut.
I also busted an o2 sensor and burnzy made my car run directly off the map. New o2 is in.
I'll try keep this thread upto date seeing car is back on the road...

this things a beast with ef3, the ef series seem very setup dependant, they can be very good on some cars and laggy on others. this one spools full boost at 3500 rpm and hits 352kw at 28psi on e85. i'm sure the 10.5 comp and the 264 cams help, but such a nice daily, doesn't lump or jerk around on low throttle

So the car feels like my old setup (2L + HKS 7460R), just alot more G's...
It's great to drive, feels like an NA with great response. Off boost then gas.
Numbers are numbers but driveability on this thing is awesome!

Thanks again to burnzy!

So I really should've posted these pics up before the tune. But oh well...

The hardware includes:
- eBay spec stock looking cooler. My stock turbo sounded like it was surging after installing this...
- MAP EF3 (burnzy's old turbo) with turbosmart actuator.
- Bosch 2000cc injectors - spacers were machine out backyard style.
- FP turbo oil line from oil filter housing
- Cam sensor heatshield from the dryden boys.
- HKS rad cap also fitted (not pictured).



Kinda stock looking eh!?



Turbo was already ported, I simply just smoothed it out very lightly to clean it.



I sprayed the cooler silver and the top black.



All fitted up.

I went to the Mount Macedon Vic Imports forum cruise back in June. - I was the only evo there.

Gripshiftslide.com captured this rolling shot of my car on the freeway.

Here's a pic I took when the cam sensor cover arrived. It's been painted black since. From Dryden Motorsports.

No real updates. Just happy with the car as is... 2bar all day everyday. I've been on a week's leave and drove the car every single day.

Here's some pics from random late night shoots with the boys playing with their cameras.








If anyone wants to know the location, don't bother as we got told off last night by security LOL.

It's been a while. No real updates as I'm so busy with work, although I consider my car "finished" (In the mods department).
I've been driving the car most days and always on e-flex.
Rear brakes are on their way, but I just got a used set of rotors freshly machined and burnzy had some thick used pads which will be going in. - When I can be stuffed.

Here's some pics from the paparazzi.
