there slow as fuck! that is all

i would be definatly mate

sounds like mine when my rings went id say it is mate . compresion test it may not show up but might do its worth a try but id say personaly its 99% certain its rings or a piston

dan joyce is always down round ere spoken to him a couple times at shows and stuff hes well into his cars always down jdm garage with paul howard the owner there big buddys

pha , it isnt lazyness brad. . . . . well actually it is , its been off the road since japfest and i havnt so much as looked at it lol. But anyway its a planned 12month thing she will be back some time next year roughly, With a full respray forged engine on td04 or td05 which ever i decide. I should start striping it all down soon really.... perhaps i will saturday.... anyway she will be like brand new come next year. dears of her.

Ill start a progress thread .... when it starts progress.

i will once my ep85 is on the road.

i will also when my glanzas back... oh wait that wont be till next summer

that first supra video clip....

yeah watch this one its the same supra watch the related videos it nails the lp640 lol

im about to start my forged engine rebuild in a few weeks time, and i jus hope my engine looks as good as yours come the end

really like that mate looking good.

looks nice mate like it ... just not the pink filler cap tho

so on our 4efte engines how are we ment to plumb this in?

My mates got a chipped nurburg vxr running 302bhp. Ive borrowed it a couple times when shes been away on holiday an stuff for a week or two.

I can honestly say, Id have my glanza. The astra sounds mint! that exhaust oh my it really does make it sound so good, thats where the dream ends. lol

id pick the glanza every time mate honestly

errrrr mods engine wise are

Japspeed Exaust

Zisco Manifold

Decat

Front Mount Filter

Front mount intercooler

fuel presure reg

apexi avcr

hks fcd

CT9 Turbo @1 Bar

mine made 225 bhp heres a vid

and a pic off sheet will follow ent took 1 yet lol

yours is td04 tho

Mines only a ct9

Here is the graph from my 197bhp run

And here is the videos from my run and my mates civic type r ep3 he made 210bhp

Went to engine tuner alan jefferys today nice bloke. delt with martin jefferys he likes his starlets top bloke was really nice.

Well anyway banged car on rollers fueling was bang on he said and the smile that grew on his face as he rolling roaded it grew and grew so i thought this must be a good sign.

So he gets out the car and gives me his summery which was that

He thinks the turbo isnt a standard one might be hybrid as it produces power all the way through till 6700 rpm.. Im unsure im 99% sure its standard ct9

Recons his old one didnt perform as well and that he could clear up in it in his hill climbs section he used to do. haha

Think he liked the car as he asked to take it for a rip lol obviously i let him and he came back and said he loves it hehe always good

Anyway The result...........

197BHP

185 torque

So yeah im chuffed.

Mods are.

Ct9 @1 bar

Front mount

exhaust

decat

manifold

front mount filter

apexi avcr

hks fcd

apexi safc

Edit: in 6th at 60mph the engine rpm is 3000,

6th at 70mph the engine is reving at about 3600rpm.

thats what mine is in my glanza 5th gear 60mph and its reving at 3k .....

wheres the advantage of a 6speed box?? jus seems like more gear changes but for no purpose.

i started thinking that also when poeple started postin about gettin 190 on standard ones at 1 bar lol but im not gonna hyjack this thread by talking about my car

Errm well call it 190bhp then bradd right your result. id be right in saying the other night there was nothing between us. So for arguements sake ill say mines running 190bhp also then im unsure exactly as needs rollin roadin.

My set up is still stock ct9 on 1bar of boost with usual crap exhaust manifold decat fuel pres reg etc so yeah somthings not quite right there mate i dont think

Went out in brad ep82 tonight with this turbo set up. Only running at 0.74 bar maximum and i was well impressed!!!! I shall be definatly getting this turbo set up. Id go as far as to say its better than going td04 spools quick as a ct9 nearly and pulls like hell and thats only at .74 so i can only imagine 1.1 bar etc

i run no dump valve for ages now no problems. people argue it fucks ya turbo but its bollox and never been prooved

Thanks for all the comments lads. Ill get some pics up the weekend. With my new recaros in and my new exhaust might try and get a couple vids up with new exhaust too

yeah thats fair enuf and although it may seem unfair im afraid in my own eyes anyway i think the guy deserves a hard time. I cannot stand theifs. if he was having trouble etc he should have jus came out and said and stoped taking orders etc.

I know sometimes its easier to hide your head in the sand or even thing you might be able to claw things back but things became a joke long before he stoped taking money from people etc. not so long ago there was a new member on tgtt that had bought somthing and was askin on the forum if anyone knew anything.

Is this some sort of english youthism? i have no clue what your on about..

Did you ever buy anything from him? or even talk to the chap?

i did i thought he was a decent enough and helpful chap & i did get my parts on time too..

I dont like people who never used his service but still seem to cuss him off when they never knew how the service was.

Theres alot of people on here like to jump on the band wagon my friend of a friend.. that ends into about 200 friends that got ripped off when its probably the same chap.

fair enough some did get done over i feel for them.. atleast they have a reason to be hitting out with the abuse or rant..

in short yes i did buy stuff from him in the past. Luckily i never got ripped off but then i only ever bought one or two things from him ages ago now and then always went to dave b i always found them slow to reply and often found dave burwash cheaper on nearly everything i enquired about in the past.

And no im not jumping on a bandwagon, regardless of how he was before things went tits up in my eyes hes a theif he stole loads of peoples money and no1 has the right to do that.

dont give up mate compresion test sniffer test etc before u decide anything

i can honestly say hand on heart i always thought the company was a rip off and thought the bloke was a complete tosser when he started ripping people off and shud be shot in the knee caps
