daniel_g Posted April 26, 2015 Author Share Posted April 26, 2015 Dont know if that video worked, if not its 'EP85 Crail Run' on youtube.Next thing i need to do is swap my VF10 turbo on because this VF12 is not doing much at the 0.5 - 0.6bar that im running, i also have a slightly stiffer EWG spring i could put in but i will see.

daniel_g Posted May 27, 2015 Author Share Posted May 27, 2015 So not an awful lot been happening with this atm. Just been driving about buring loads of oil haha. I swapped my VF10 on which has the same size compressor housing as a VF12 but with a smaller P15 exhaust housing as opposed to a P20 that the VF12 has, so boost is coming in at 3k now, still only running 0.6 bar.Quick pic when i was away round the Lochearnhead a few weeks ago.And took a trip up to Crail for Banzai a couple weeks ago, was pouring with rain only got 4 runs in, times were all away to fuck something like 15.4, all the runs exact same pretty much.Heres a pic of the starlet stand as soon as we arrived, there was another 5 or so scattered around the place.I had noticed my 85 was not fitted with a front anti roll bar from factory which was very weird because it has a factory rear one.. anyway i managed to track a EP85 farb down from Browner.Went to fit the fucker and guess what it wouldnt fit because my of my exhaust, it was made without the arb in place and it fouls it... so gonna have to take it back to Stainless Creations at some point to have the exhaust modified.It hits off the arb and the front section wont bolt up...And last thing, fired the 85 on a weighbridge at the weekend there, was quite chuffed considering it has a pretty fuckin solid looking 4WD system!So thats about it, gonna be getting J.D Tuning poly mounts soon and investigate this fuckin oil burning issue, gotta feeling its rings Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Scoobysvx Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 That's a bit of a shame about the anti roll bar dude! Is there much modification required? From what I can see it looks like you only need it to be an inch or so lower?As if your RARB was factory!! Does any one else have one of these do you know? I wouldn't mind getting one in the near future but I'd imagine it's going to have to be custom 😞 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
richglanzav Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 thats crazy light 880kg considering it has like you say a beefy 300bhp capable 4wd system lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I wouldn't mind getting one in the near future but I'd imagine it's going to have to be custom Yeah i sent the pics of the exhaust to my pal who works at the place, says its not major modification required. Gonna try and get a lower arm brace in there aswell so when it gets modded they can route it over that hopefully!And yeah some EP85s had a factory rarb! Dont know anyone with one on a 95 though. Its not all that though, it looks like its made from a shoe lace haha. Can just about make it out in this pic. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
daniel_g Posted May 27, 2015 Author Share Posted May 27, 2015 thats crazy light 880kg considering it has like you say a beefy 300bhp capable 4wd system lolI know!! I was expecting around the 950kg mark, because the turbo kit, exhaust, wheels etc are all heavier than standard. Saying that though its stripped out inside, no heater box or fuck all haha.
