Just received my new big 16G turbo this week, but have to start making the exhaust before I bolt that in, Which I will be using 2.5" pipe from turbo back.

So far done 150kms here and there driving, and no major problems.

Originally posted by Smokinspeedsreally nice base turbo setup, liking the car too. Did you get those seats in? It'd be interesting to see how you got the bracket situation to work out.
and yes, there is at least one american here who knows that nz is new zealand. ^_^
As for the seat, Diddn't end up using the power height adjuster, as even on the lowest setting it made the seat too high.
I removed the original seat rails, removed everything off them so all I was left with was the sliders (have to drill the solid rivets out and spot welds) then I bolted some 20mm square bar from rail to rail, then bolted the seat to that.
I'll get some pics up when I bring the car home, hopefully next weekLast edited by evil_demon_01; 11-01-2007, 01:31 AM.

I would love to get to a dyno, however I can't find any that I'm confident in letting tune the car yet, so still looking around. The current tune is OK for now, I know I could get more power out of it, but even with 5psi on the 14b I'm happy. I will go more indepth tuning once the big 16G is fitted
Have managed to put 800kms on the engine so far, and the longest trip was an hour and a half drive. Running fine so far, Still haven't fixed the super rich cold mixture yet . . . 9.0 a/r's. Will be done all in good time.
Time for some pics.
Seat fitment:
Cert:
New Big 16G turbo:
Front Engine Mount:

oh and dude i didnt know you got certificates like that in new zealand is that hard to do thats pretty effing cool though
I failed on wheel stud not long enough (nuts have to go on a minimum of 6.5 turns - mine were 6.0 turns), and wrong taper (I had conical instead of straight cut)
Strengthen front engine mount, (changed it to a rosejoint type)
Rear Jamex springs upside down (They dont sit right when up the correct way, but fit perfect upside down, so I just flipped them, then flipped them back again)
Fit tube spacers in box section of seat brackets.
Basically they check all the mods are done properly and safely, Its not too bad to get through.
Yeah the 16G feels good sitting in my hands, Haha havn't had time to fit it yet.
But I'm hoping for a good gain as when i change it, I'll also be upping the boost to 10psi.

or until it's been wrecked and won't be repaired. I'd rather the first option so I could still see it perhaps from time to time.

Had to do some work up north this weekend, so took a few pics while I was up there, Not the best weather, hopefully I'll get some better ones soon. Enjoy

I know the perfect location for a photo, but it means I have to travel 20kms of metal roads, which I'm not so keen on haha . . . trying my best not to chip the paint lol
Once I get the 16G and exhaust on, I'm planning on going for a cruise purely to get some photos, And just for fun

I'm keen to get some numbers too. Hopefully sometime early next year
I still can't get over how on such low boost, in the dry I can spin 1st gear as soon as the boost comes on, and spin 2nd gear when going round a corner.
F22A torque is awesome
