Thanks guys.

 

The Line 1 mod is putting a restrictor in to make the IACV open more slowly. ClubsubNZ have a guy working on it for a year or so.

 

Thread (has all the science and gee wizardry):

clubsub.org.nz/forum/showthread.php?40911-Inside-the-BBOD/

 

Scroll to post #25 & #26 for the summary.

 

I purchased a 0.8mm restrictor from amayama.com, fitted in under a minute, and made a nice difference (RevC EJ206). It's not a huge performance increase like running higher boost - it's more like the TT VOD is cut right back to a short "gasp" and away she goes again on the secondary. It's less than $10 delivered, takes 1 minute to fit, and if you don't notice the difference or think it's snake oil, pull out the restrictor and you're back to where you started.

Cheers for that. Might be something to have a go at and see if it makes a little improvement.

Thanks man, might give it a go..

Working on a different motor today. Looks like I got my money's worth out of the blades (5yrs) and air filter (12yrs...)

Mowers are so easy, I'm looking forward to using a Briggs & Stratton to teach my young bloke how to change oil, plugs, etc.

Looks like a Gen3 cabin filter.

LOL Mark, mine wasn't that far off that!

I have a Briggs and Stratton block and head chillen in my shed. Was thinking of cool things I could motorise like my washing line. Cept that engine has AIDS, had a gnarly vac leak, the crappy intake manifold was made of such soft aluminium it split.

lol, when I first read that I thought you meant you made it a TT :-) I wonder if I could fit a pod filter to my mower. That'd be a fun arvo project. It'd need a flange to fit the carburettor, and an pipe reducer down to a drinking straw. Actually, that's probably a stupid idea.

 

I needed fuel hose so used some leftover 6mm ID silicon tubing. I know that's bad karma and I need to go to Repco tomorrow... But, new plug, squirt of UEC in the carby, new air filter, new oil, HKS sticker on the chassis - when I started it tonight my ear dyno says it was making at least 4hp at the wheels

 

Hey Jim I gotta ask, how the heck do you motorise a washing line?? You ran a motor to raise/lower it or you spun a hills hoist like a helicopter??

[Jimbo]

Haha nah. Just crazy mad scientist ideas. Its sitting there doing nothing and wondered what I could with it!

Turning my washing line into a rotisserie would be cool. Could make it a cool chainsaw spinning zombi apocolypse machine..thatd scare the neighborhood.

I did the line 1 mod to my car today. Not as life-changing as the guy on clubsub made it out to be but there is a slight reduction in changeover time. If you don't want to wait for shipping your local dealership can get the part overnight, cost me $9.

Thanks for the feedback. I changed all my vac lines at the same time as I modded Lines 1 and 10 so it was tough to tell what change caused what improvement.

 

Which engine do you have? A-C? Mine's also an auto - I'd love to compare how a 5spd drives with the same thing done.

Did the line 1 mod yesterday with a 5mm piece of stripped coating from some nylon coated wire-core washing line I had lying about.  Inner diameter a bit less than 1mm (eyeballed).

 

Haven't given it a stretch of the legs in third to get a real feel for it, but I reckon running through 2nd felt different - less of an obvious flat spot, longer and softer (boom tish). A little hard to tell, as it goes past pretty quick.

 

With the flow restriction material I'm using, I figure I can tune it with length.

 

This is a RevB EJ208DWBKE with a manual box.

 

Cost - $0 and reversible.

 

The line 10 mod upped throttle response - especially at highway speeds.

AUDM 5spd rev D B4.i reckon after market dumps made a bigger difference

Oh nice! Did you find someone selling off the shelf or did you need to get custom work done? I'd rather off the shelf so I can be cheap and fit it myself

Back to work on the bootlip spoiler. Laid down the 51E today.

I managed to get my new gun setup. Pressure was good. Spray pattern was good. Paintflow was good. Paint mix was good. Buuuuuut:

 2015-06-14 17.09.15 (1024x576).jpg   175.32KB   30 downloads

 

I think it was because my SCA compressor was *just* on the limit for air flow. Mine is a 95L/min and the gun requires 100L/min. So the outcome was yeah it works, but when spraying the paint came out blotchy/not properly atomised. So I've found a guy selling a 180L/min compress and will pick it up later this week. Should also be able to run the rattle gun again (this last compressor (my third) was a down-size).

 

So right now, after around 6 coats, there is good coverage but the surface is not uniform. I think i'll let it gas out for a few days and hit it fairly hard with some 600 or 800 around Thursday. Then, once I have the new rig I'll reattack with 2-3 coats.

 

Also, nek minit... It's a tiny piece of grass. Sucks not having a booth. Have to get rid of that too.

Here's the "test fit", which is just pop it on the boot. When I line it up correctly the bottom edge of the lip runs right against the top edge of the taillights.

And the current eBay spec (which, like I said, I still don't mind, but it's not OEM)(just trying to keep CRUISN happy...)

PS. For sale. 6month old 2hp/24L SCA compressor. Pump yer tyres, blow air to sweep the garage like a pro, do up wheel nuts when you're lazy... $50 pickup from near the airport...

Wow! Thanks Mark. I'm useless at YJP. I search for (BE5, BH5) and then get bored by page 10. Can't buy those pipes now though, just saw a special and ordered these:

I have some custom ones that I bought second hand. Off the shelf ones are pretty expensive, I doubt you'll find any much cheaper than the ones Mark linked.

[mr-smithers]

That looks so nice man! That's the only boot lip on a gen3 that I've liked!

[BE4ORE]

Can't wait to see final results
