FTO AUSTRALIA

Hmmmm.....

Interestingly enough I was doing some work on the exhaust over the weekend. Looks like the flange o-ring on the rear bank was never seated properly A section of it was un-compressed and charred like it had spent it's whole life inside the pipe.

Replaced both front and back flange gaskets and she's running quieter and smoother than ever.

I so love working on my car
I think I'm hooked....

P.S HKSFTO has mivec permently set to the high cam, so you will probably own me at launch. Don't think i haven't thought about changing that. What are you running in the MR2 anyway?

I'm kinda lost, what you mean by permently set to the high cam? MIVEC is the high cam & it only kicks in after 5500rpm.

the MR2 is running standard everything except for an ARC super induction box. A full 3" exhaust and dump pipe will be fitted by Friday and so will the new manifold
I think we should race on Elgar Rd near my house on Sunday and use their speed cameras as a start and finishing point for a nice photo finish

....use their speed cameras as a start and finishing point

Awsome....
I actually got done by one the other day.
74 in a 70 zone.......

I feel like such a failure.
I don't deserve to own an fto if I'm going to go that slow.....

The mivec point on hks has been set to below idle. I'm not 100% sure why. I think they had some issues with the cam shifting under boost.

Definately thinking about push in that up to about 3.5k.
Need to do some research first.

P.S

Oh yeah and no....I'm not racing you....

Ohhh now I get it W.R, could it be because you running boost on single bank instead of both bank like Mikey's?? How big is your dump pipe??

V type engine, with high compression ratio, Variable Valve timing plus the pressure from a turbo, well u can do the math’s how tricky it would be to get it right.

from what it sounds like W.R it doesnt seem u can do much more to the performance of yr car without having to do major mods
having said that, Mikey still had the standard dump pipe on which u should have upgraded.

P.S

YES U ARE RACING ME!

Turbo is fed off both banks.
There is a few little things to be done. Pod shroud has already gone on, Extractors are stock, plus the interior is pretty basic.

Plenty to keep me happily busy.

This thread is waaay of track.

Does anyone else feel like joining us on a nice law abiding cruise on Sunday?

WR

Just a few more questions heheheh (king of off topic)

Did you change it to both bank? Scracy told me it was running off a single bank before.

And Recaro TomCat isn't exactly plan or basic either heheeh So r u going to enter your car for the SQ comp that Mil had posted in the other thread, yours should do well. (don't reply this Q here hehhee reply at the other thread)

Hmmmm I wonder if Shue had read this post yet? Shue r u going, since u got nothing to do on Sunday anyway

hey WR if u dont like yr seats then sell them to me!

Seats are staying where they damm well are...
However I have had quotes to get them re-trimmed.
When i win division 4 in tattslotto, they are first up.

WR

It's most definately powered by both banks.

what time are you going to swing by Chadstone cause I should be able to make this one. I'll bring along my new security system for you to check out Kevin

Hmmm good question, W.R want to be around lunch time when we get there, so lets have a vote on which time we should meet up.

1. 11:00am
2. 11:30am
3. 12:00pm

Now since its Sunday, there going to be crap load of ppl so where should we meet?

Hmmmm i know what u on about, new security system hey heheehe man i don't think anyone want to get anywhere close to your car with that system ahahahaha

i might check it out on sunday or saturday with another member at around 8am lol

Hmmmm sorry ppl and i hate to say this, i can't make it this weekend & my friend going to kill me for sure. But i just got given tickets to the Australian Rally Championship and how could anyone refuse???

So i'm off to Rally for the weekend.

so u gonna be at yr shop on Saturday??

Yeah i'm still going to be at the shop, cause u still going to give me a ride right? To the rally if you don't mind

i just got a phone call from the exhaust joint, and my new exhaust, dump pipe and manifold is fitted!!
im hanging to go pick it up at 5pm!!!

Technically hksfto is run off both banks kev as they do come together in a collector (same as mickeys) however i dont consider hksfto or mickeys car to be "truelly" fed from both banks.
PS:long live "AUVSR5" my new ride!
