What Did You Do On Your Car Today+ - V2.0  

bandit_corolla

bough an AE86 rear end... Fitted and found out it got 2way TRD LSD in it! Winning!!!
Going from rear drum brakes to disc is a massive improvement.

don't forget you need to change the proportioning valve when going from drums to discs.

Replaced the throttle body in the 156. Happy I twirled a spanner on that bitch myself for once and saved myself a couple of hundred bucks.

Fitted my adjustable PBM shifter from my R34 into my 86, might cut down the adjustable shaft so it gets rid of the locking collars and hides the reverse lockout shaft...

Took my BOV plumb back system off, splutter and coughed if it went under 2000 revs and stalled if it hit 1500. Ran really rich, black smoke and all. Asked a few people why this is happening they weren't sure so I put it back on. Anyone might know?

Dai.

Fitted a new tail and undertail. Polished pipes while i was there.

alpharx7

Doc

What car?

I will enlighten. If it's anything like (or is) the RB engine from a skyline, you can't simply remove the bov. Why? Because the purpose of the Bov is to recirculate the air back into the intake one the throttle body is closed. When this air is recirculated back into the intake, the factory ECU adjusts the fuel to accommodate this.

If you removed this without doing anything else, the factory ecu still assumes all that air is going back into the intake (not into the atmosphere or wherever you had it going), it still adds the fuel into the mixture. Without all that air being present it will obviously be running super rich to the point where it consistantly stalls.

Moral of the story; don't remove your BOV unless you have your ECU tuned to do so. Most factory BOVs are pretty decent, provided they are still functioning fine.

I had a similar (not the same) problem with my atmo venting BOV, every time after boost (mostly long pulls in 3,4,5th gear) when coming off throttle, the ECU thinks that the air coming out of the BOV is being re-circulated in the system - so it adds more fuel to compensate for the extra air.

When in fact the extra air was vented to the atmosphere, so the ECU is adding fuel when it doesnt need too (stock ECU of course) and it stalls and runs like ass.

Hadf the above mentioned problem + my car wasn't idling nicely at all. Got a re-cirl BOV, plumbed it back with black garden/sprinkler hose, and pulled off the inlet manifold. Cleaned the Idle control valve/throttle body/manifold and then finally changed spark plugs at the end, they were f*cked from running super rich for so long. Before changing the spark plugs it still ran like shit, now with everything clean it idles exactly how it's supposed too, even the return to idle mode is flawless.

OT - just about to pull the front suspension apart, figure out what's making the 'bad' noise, and probably find out i've bought the wrong LCA bushings. car will back on the road circa 2014

Sr20det. I thought it may have had something to do with what you said, "the factory ecu still assumes all that air is going back into the intake", It was venting to atmosphere, and it sounded like someone was saying SHHHHHHH over a speaker phone in my ear.

Someone mentioned tightening the BOV spring but guessing if it's something to do with the ECU I doubt it would make a difference. Do you suggest a tune and just have a chat to the person doing it to tell them what I want?.

stockmy00

Seen your car a few times, big fan looks fantastic!

How do you find the drive compared to the ol' gc8 ? I'm considering upgrading but I just don't wanna lose the gc8's chuck-ability. Soon I will test drive one back to back with mine..

Doc

noticeably bigger when driving, but still handles great, boost came on alot quicker in the 00 but it had a few mods and was tuned,
still these get along pretty good once boost hits, some lag there but that will change eventually.

really happy with it, dont miss the GC8 one bit, even though i see it driving every morning

bandit_corolla

Made my car looks awesome and parked it indoor at Flushstyle 2nd year Anniversary in Thailand.

Anddd Yep im still running no springs.

VGJONO

Test drove it with the new motor and box in, all is well except i have no reverse

Catapult

Painted the front and side badges gloss black and drove it in the bush

AGI78-GTO

started putting on the blower

intake i wanted to use is wayy higher than i'd worked out in my head, i thought it'd require a 2 1/2 cowl hood, but the bonnet hits it about 100 mm before closing haha. so it looks like im changing back to the stock intake.

KM132 5 Speed purchased and fitted to the Galant

mark1414

Boost controller hooked up and dialled in.

TXR05

New front rotors as mine were screwed! drained oil, put some new stuff in with some liqui moly engine detox. Ran for 15 minutes, drained that oil and put some good oil in. New filter on both changes. Super clean now.

DAL32

Do you just put really cheap oil in to do with the flush???

Zimma

Pulled out the fuel pump and tested it, turns out it is fcuked, good times

sr_silvia

Fitted LED Reverse lights, here's new and old. LED's are sooo much brighter in real life! My crappy iPhone does no justice

ShanO`

Fixed a coolant leak in the shitbox R34

Zimma

Replaced the fuel pump, got it started again...

In a move of optimism also scavenged another ED civic for its license plate bracket at a cost of nothing for if i ever get it registered again, then straightened it a bit and sprayed matte black.





Some more spraying as well. Gotta love that $1.60 paint

_Ben

Supercheap?

Sold shittonnes of that stuff when it was on sale

mark1414

yeah I needed a few cans of that but only found out after the sale ended.

Zimma

Yeah bought a few cans before the taggers bought it all haha... Apparently one store near me had one guy buy over 100 cans in one go.

1TUFF80

Fitted up the rear flares and painted the chassis and wheel arches. Still have to do the front.

wolfman101

Platesies.

E30_luv

Fixed a Oil leak. Went to take it for a drive and blew up a gearbox. Currently changing in a new one

Geoff

haha thats a rough run of luck

E30_luv

Your telling me. I put off fixing oil pressure problems for 4 months. Day I fix it, I blow the gearbox up.

Dai.

Fitted CF tail and rear seat cowl to the R1.
