I'm running standard injectors, Vortech FMU, and a Bosch 023 Fuel pump

Next mods would be a 3" exhaust, because it's still only 2.5" lol
if I blow my gearbox I'd probably upgrade to a T56, re-shimmed LSD and anything else I'd love to get my hands on

Any plans to take it down the 1/4?

SLO4LT · Post by **SLO4LT** » May 11th, 2012, 7:19 am

Cheers, I'm really keen to take it down the track but might be a month or so when I do, and have a few other small problems sorted and cash to back up for a trailer if I break something! lol

Cheers mark! and vice versa man yours is mint too!!

well not as much as before it was boosted

which kynda sucks because I wouldn't mind lining up more kents to obliterate, or see how it goes against some quicker foes

I get soo many peeps looking for cooler as well, can't really see it which is good for me, but I let em have it and dose em

peteypete · Post by **peteypete** » May 23rd, 2012, 10:08 pm

Haha, Mate I always used to see your car parked along south gippy highway going to work early in the mornings, and I always wondered if you were on any of the local forums
Logged on to boostedfalcon one day and boom, your car is on the front page.
Needless to say Im a big fan of your work and I've been lurking your thread since

Tob job mate! I'd absolutely love to come see it in the flesh one day

Mate, that is fantastic work ! Really great results with the turbo

In your original setup what is the angle on the pipe to the compression housing ?

umm id rather not say!! lol

SLO4LT · Post by **SLO4LT** » September 2nd, 2012, 7:48 pm

Sooo this hasn't really had any changes except for a few blocks, couple heads and a few changes of cams lol!
I think i'm nearly at the point where there isn't anything to do visually, except for maybe a paint job, some minor dint repairs, and some modifications to the badges(taken off and airbrushed logos to replace them) but until then, theres a new ecu on the way(aftermarket), another head

ported etc this time and will be saving for bottom end components so i can up the boost later on

But until then, here's some photos done by Warren(Pearly)

Post by **needfordspeed** » September 2nd, 2012, 7:52 pm

What do you mean 'a few blocks' what was the reason lol?

And where are the decorsas!!

lol well the first block was too much boost and was blowing oil passed the rings

Second was my handy work and may have forgotten to tighten up the cam bolt to specs(wasnt tight enough i didnt double check

) was majorly pissed off about that one! lol
DeCorsas are under my bed, im waiting on a centre cap i need to buy because there is one that im missing!! its next to impossible to get one
