Re: [FINALIZED] Bolt in rollcage

Does it come the right way up, or is it specifically for Auzzie cars?

Re: IACV solutions when fitting aftermarket inlet manifold and throttle body

It really doesn't need to flow much gas to allow the engine to idle, so a small pipe should be fine- but remember if you are plumbing it into the pipework it will need to be capable of sealing in whatever boost pressure is in there...so maybe vacuum pipes aren't the best idea, I'd go for some decent...

Re: IACV solutions when fitting aftermarket inlet manifold and throttle body

The stock IACV system does seem to be a boost leak in the making, but if you plumbed it into your pipework upstream of the turbo (i.e. just before or after the charge cooler), then that would illiminate any potential leak. I had the IACV mounted directly on my old inlet manifold- definitely an optio...

Re: IACV solutions when fitting aftermarket inlet manifold and throttle body

Your ECU has aux outputs, so assuming it can deal with the current requirements, and has enough spare outputs....you should be able to set up DBW, but for your specific install it might be a ball ache as it is designed to be plug and play with the stock car...so new wires, and changing the ECU strat...

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Which is best block/head marriage?

We sectioned two rev3 blocks, and a rev1 block (and a rev 3 NA head)...I've probably still got them stashed away somewhere in Dad's workshop- next time I'm there I'll have a look. I don't think I had one with any extra material around the water pump though... The inconsistency in the cylinder walls ...

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Which is best block/head marriage?

Late 5S block is the one to go for if you want to give it some serious stick, the whole block is far meatier when put side by side with any 3S block, and the increase in bore size is nice as well- even if you use a 3S crank and keep it at ~2l. There are supposed to be later 3S blocks, rev5 and possi...
