thanks .. mine is actually grace silver (93 model).. well was.. since the full overhaul she was painted silver with a white pearl. ooooooo

oops thought is was the series II silver ..sorry, hard to tell between the two in some photos...looking vey good though..

[MISGSR]

yeh no late model champagne silver non chippable ECU no turbo light car for me - dont like that silver either or the interior

Anyway here's the latest tid bits image of mods - just sorting the boost control at the mo (current = manual.. This week buying Greddy Profec B Spec II).. will be nice to go race her again at WSID but this time WITHOUT the leaky flange and hopefully better boost consistency with Profec.

Looking good Bron! Heaps of space indeed.

[Qik-1.8]

what do you mean by new evo oil filter set up by pass bron a closer pic of that please

[MISGSR]

ok here's a pic.. I don't have a pic of how it was stock. Obv this is no good if you track race.

I saw this car infront of blacktown autobarn not too long ago looks even better in real life really nice car.

[MISGSR]

You sure it wasnt Penrith Autobarn? Thanks Romeo

Some updates

well been a lil while.. few changes and fixes since my average run at WSID.. epic leaky flange lol

(Now awaiting a tune after these fixes).

• New Walbro (3 years sitting still did the last one no good)
• New fuel filter
• Purchased and fitted Greddy Profec B Spec II - set up for 19psi (still on TD05 14B and all the teeny tiny stock turbo outlet and dump)
• New inhole gasket (previous ma-naged for some time inc WSID) fitted with nordlock washers from GTPumps
• Black shoe polish administered (Finally been wanting black shoes for so long!)
• 1.2 bar actuator fitted - that one is epic win

also re the oil filter set up.. still need to fit oil cooler and lines and adapter

[Qik-1.8]

nice figure bro what head gasket you running??
also do you plan to wind the boost up over 20 psi

[OFFON-4]

CRANK IT UP!
Awesome stuff bronski, let wing her up and crack that 200

[milkandoj]

Since you running a fair amount of boost and exhaust flow through the tiny 6cm 060 housing, have you considered putting an 070 housing on the back of that 14b and letting it breath a tad more up top.
And as a bonus you can throw on an evo 3 dump that Chris loves so much. I recon for such a quick mod and easy adjustment of the angle on the exhaust flange, it'd open her up more. Would be awesome bang for buck after the time and effort spent on the car.

That's a nice power curve and top end figure.

a million times.. i need to sort oil cooler set up first (and dead prop shaft seals). Turbo n dump upgrades don't fit with my std GSR oil filter set up. That and i wanted to see what i could squeeze safely out of this set up first. I'll be doing another WSID run now that everything is fixed and after a tune.

I also need to decide what to do with my ex mani set up as a bigger turbo outlet wont fit with current custom ex mani. Seen a few around .. one with TD05 flange and 1 with T3 flange.. but with external gate set up on both.. so if i do go new ex mani i think I'll be looking at the T3 flange one so i can fit the GT3071R.. but in saying that... ultimately i would like to fit Evo X turbo but that also is very far off being available.

I'll just go with the flow and see whats avail when i'm ready.. maybe even get Mark (GTPumps) to rebuild my turbo to 20G for now.

Going back into working in digital soon so depending on the pay depends on what i do... still got this to put on as well.. has been my desk ornament for over 2 years since i had it made

Thanks for the nice words too boys

missed checking out your car when i visited down in sydney in march. had a chat with Chris for most of the day. your 14b should have you well in the twelves. mine got me there on a stock manifold.

[MISGSR]

I'm expecting high 11s next time.. last time 12.7 @ 112.9 (with leaks)

[Evo-00x]

Looking good Bron
I vote for a GT3071R external wastegate or the GT3071WG with internal wastegate. They are a perfect allrounder on a 2 litre and will be great for your 1.8
On the otherhand a 20G will look stock if thats the kind of look you're going for atm.
You know me, I like bling so I vote to fit that desk ornament (SM intake manifold) and a GT3071R and bling xwg

[Qik-1.8]

I reckon a 30-71r will go hard bron

[MISGSR]

Yeh it will go hard on my driveline! I so want the x turbo. Sigh. Turbo outlet will be next and maybe I'll upgrade the dump to evo. Both still very small original VR4. Definitely needs a choon tho rather badly. Playing ping pong with all this solid boost now.

[boost_lover]

As I said to u 4 years ago, 3071 internal wg lol, but evo x turbo is the go!

[GSRWRC]

Bah, go for a Borgwarner EFR 7064 with a T4 1.05 A/R twinscroll turbine housing.
