WALBRO FUEL PUMP IS FINALLY IN!!!!!

[Hyper_Mike]

This stud.....sucks massive balls!!!!

 

[White Knight]

Lol, sucks big hairy ones hey!!!! Rebuilt my turbo last weekend, hi Ben, and decide to just pull the radiator out then be able to pull the whole exhaust, turbo and all just straight up and out. Much easier....

[Hyper_Mike]

Yea man, i have a dude coming on Monday from Thread Tech to remove it, i am replacing it with all new bolts for the new manifold. All that splatter around the stud is from where i welded the nut on the top haha it cracked off before the stud came loose

[Hyper_Mike]

Managed to get all the decals off my door finally, got it all polished up too, turned out pretty nice

 

[MDK87]

NOOOOOO I liked those decals!
I was secretly jealous of them lol

[Hyper_Mike]

Haha yea man, i liked them too, but it kind of made the car like crappy because they were all peeling and flaking. I would love to replace them with nice new ones but i don't think you can still get the decals

[Hyper_Mike]

On another note, I did get an awesome delivery today from the land of the USA!!!! EXCITED!!!!!

Well it has been a crazy year of owning my RVR. Since i bought her just over a year ago she has had some upgrades and mods, some installed, some still to go. Here is my list so far that i can think of.

 

Evo 8 560cc Injectors
Walbro GSS342
Turbo Back 3" Exhaust
K&N Panel filter
Tubular Exhaust Manifold

Manual Boost Controller
Adjustable Cam Gears

Haltech PS1000
BC 272 Cams
Turbomart Boost Gauge
Turbosmart Recirc BOV
Inovative Wideband

Modded ECU chip by Mio
Dimpled and Slotted Rotors
Rebuilt Head
Rebuilt Steering Rack
Gates Racing Time Belt

Cusco Front Strut Brace

Whiteline Rear Strut Brace
Full Pedders Low Suspension
AP1 Enkeis

 

So its fair to say it has been a pretty full on year of mods and plenty left to go!!

What would you guys think I should be expecting, power wise, once I get the car tuned with the Haltech PS1000?

 

Cheers, Mike

Nice list man!

 

Power wise, if you're still running a td04 you shouldn't expect a high figure.
 

Drivability is key IMO, no point making a zillion HP @ 8700 with a stock auto on the street, by the time it's making power the other guy is at the next set of lights asking his GF for a BJ.

 

As long as it's putting a smile on your face when you drive it mate, it's all that matters, don't worry about outright figures
