Is this on Gumtree? Seems to be a similar one there?

I really enjoyed watching that video - thanks for sharing.

 

Let me know when you're planning a trip to Winton and I'll try and bring my CC along.

 

 

Also - if you want your gearbox looked at - Andrew Vibert (CVAP in Shepparton) is the man to go to for early EVO gearboxes.

Latest video is awesome, making good power! Also recognised Baz's garage straight away, and good to see that 4g93 still kicking

Thanks, the videos are a lot of effort, probably 5 different shooting days to cover that one. Thanks a lot to Barry, he spent many hours helping me out.

 

There are things i didn't go into in this video that may be tackled in another video

 

When the ECU was updated the boost went to shit, started off at 7psi and climbed to 12psi. It made 208kw which seemed high for the boost.Took some time to sort that out, then the boost was set at 14psi and coming on nice and early, yet it made zero difference to the power graph. As you can see it's totally linear and the car drove like that, car feels really lazy down low whereas as it used to be very punchy (it's not as noticeable on the track as the engine is always in a high range). They suspect my exhaust cam is retarded, hence the engine just wants to keep revving. I'm not too concerned as it will all be sorted out soon. 

 

They also discovered the next week that the dyno's toque reading in awd was incorrect and it was fixed.I had wondered why the torque reading was so low.

 

My timing was not sitting stable, it was jumping around a little. It's probably a good time I get my timing belt replaced and get a more accurate timing setup done.

Can anyone recommend options around trigger kits? And ones that work with balance shafts as I think if I ever rebuild the motor I'll be looking at putting the balance shafts in.

 

 

I feel that if I run the car like this more at the circuit, it wont last long it's very hard on it.

 

Thanks for the advice on the gearboxes.

Didn't know Andrew was still around?! I bought stuff off him about 10 years ago then he disappeared.

Yeah he's still around.  Closed his shop in Shepp and is working from his garage and being more selective about the jobs he'll take on now.

 

Still the go-to guy for anything gearbox related IMO, especially the early EVO and GSR gearboxes.

Here is a new one, a year later

Saw this, good video especially considering how many questions/threads there have been on here about Evo Brembo conversions and upgrade options.

Progress is still progress, good work.
