Where do i start? - Advice wanted

[Rupewrecht]

[color=#000000ost_uid0]Well, as Mal said, the intake resonator does have a function...but it's just whether it makes [iost_uid0]that[/iost_uid0] much difference when you're increasing airflow with a CAI anyway.

yeha i know the pipe you're talking about, and on Dave's V6 we removed that second pipe, as we needed the room to mount an Adustable FPR there.

so we gaffertaped a spray can lid over that hole! :laugh:

[iost_uid0]Rupewrecht will not be held responsible for all cars that fail to work as stated by the manufacturer[/iost_uid0] ::

but we did a dual CAI pipe to an enlarged hole in the bottom of the V6 airbox - that's why the 2 pipes[/colorost_uid0]

[.::Astina|Brad::.]

[color=#728FCEost_uid0]Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh... all very clear now... now this second pipe that by the way is blocked at the other end, u just took off.. now... whats an ajustable FPR??? fuel presure regulature???

also wanted to ask mal... taking out the resonator... does it make the astina then sound like a wrx thumping????? i luv the sound of the rex when they have that deep thumping sound...

and for others who didn't have a clue what i was on a bout... this is the thingy i wanted to know about...

[Rupewrecht]

[color=#000000ost_uid0]yep, Adustable FPR is the Fuel Pressure regulator

And removing the Intake Resonator will give you a much bassier sound - the V6 sounds brilliant with the CAI mods we di. Way better than a WRX, but different.[/colorost_uid0]

[color=#000000ost_uid0]Ahhhhhhhhhhhh FREAKOUT!

Just went outside and had a look at my car but the freaky thing is that my car doesn't have that part sticking out that the picture does. Its just a straight piece of pipe about 5-6cm long!

Mine's a '96 model but wouldn't have thought that it would make much difference. ???[/colorost_uid0]

[Rupewrecht]

[color=#000000ost_uid0]Well both Dogo's and Astina|Brads are 94s...can't say i've seen under the bonnet of any post 95 V6s.

There were a few changes throughout the life of the BA, so maybe that's one of them![/colorost_uid0]

[KittyKatSmack]

[color=#736AFFost_uid0]Kitty gets her swaybar on Friday 11th April.
(after payday!)

This has been the best information ever though, and the pictures have helped enormously!!!!!!!

I am certainly interested in the AG piping too.

In fact, I am getting pretty damned excited about the whole project now, and can't wait.
I will be away from the 14th April until the 29th April with the rare access to PC during that time, but please continue to post the info!!!!!

I can't wait to do the CAI!!!!
This is going to be the best fun.
Any of the Canberra Astina drivers want in on the action when the CAI goes in? There will of course be pictures taken too!

OK, back to washing and polishing the beast, and crying over the new stone chips from the trip back from Albury last weekend
[/colorost_uid0]

[.::Astina|Brad::.]

[color=#728FCEost_uid0]HOW MUCH DO STONE CHIPS SUCK!?!?! my bonnet looks shocking... some are deep...

i'm driving down to Kangaroo Valley in 2 hours! Probably collect a few more chips on the way down there...

Anyone from Kangaroo Valley here???

one final thing and i think i mite have my head completly around the whole CAI thing... the ag. pipe u ducted.. how do u attatch them to the standard filter box???

I'm getting excited about the thought of my car sounding better than a wrx... all i need now is the power of a wrx and i'll be a happy little boy... Dan... any chance of my borrowing your engine? ::

HAve a good weekend peoplez... hope ya get to do some CAI work over the weekend kitty.[/colorost_uid0]

[BigMal]

[color=#000000ost_uid1]Be carefull about your word choice in future Kitty.
Those remarks about getting all excited and if any
of the Astina owners want in on the action.

Some of the other people on the forum and not gentlemen.
You could cop some grief over things like that.

And don't listen to any of the crap the other guys and girls
have been saying about me. I wont rip your badges off.
After you have seen a debadged Astina you will want to
do it yourself. They are all just jealous that they know we
will get on like a house on fire (No Canberra pun intended)
Leanne's also just upset that she is going out with a boy like
mike when she could of had a man like me. I am never afraid
to buy her leg openers at any/every oportunity.

p.s This is a total work of fiction. Except for the friends

[color=#000000ost_uid0]I lost my badges the first time I met Mal. * sorry, couldn't resist

Kitty, I'm up for a CAI transformation one Sunday - Sailing Saturday's. Tony and other Canberra people, want to come and show us how to pull apart the front end properly? ::[/colorost_uid0]

right in the nuts!! LMFAO!

I cant this weekend but maybe the weekend after.. I am installing a HKS Cams in a r32 Skyline GTR

I have removed X-Leads resonator and he loves it now! I know how to take apart everything just you would have to show me exactly what you wanna do with the piping...

PS. you dont happen to be a Teacher do you KittyKatSmack?[/colorost_uid0]

[ABC]

[color=#000000ost_uid0]I fear where this conversation is going given how small Canberra is...... * * *

Gotta have a hobby I suppose, I'm starting races for a Sailing National Championship on the Lake!

Next weekend is good for me - How's Sunday the 13th?[/colorost_uid0]

[dfvadr]

[color=#000000ost_uid0]hey mal im with u man my badges are being removed while the kits being done[/colorost_uid0]

[KittyKatSmack]

[color=#736AFFost_uid0]OMG, so many posts to catch up on.......
*deep breath*

Am not a teacher, but I do part time study, so my car gets parked at an educational institution.
But I do believe we have a Honda driving friend in common ~ Bear? That's all I'm gonna say for now.

Sunday the 13th is gonna be packing for my trip to QLD. Otherwise I would have [iost_uid0]definately[/iost_uid0] said yes to that one.
This weekend would have been good if I had the parts and had planned for it.
I am dead set keen for it, and would prefer to do it with you fella's around that have
a) done it before
b) can help if I stuff it up
(me stuff it up? NEVER)

And I can assure you Mal that I like your sense of humour very much and that I will be guarding my badges with my life anyway ::
Make mine a vodka mate!

If the Canberra Connection of AstinaGT want to organise a CAI weekend, like those in Melbourne are doing in the Cruise Thread, can we make it the Anzac Day weekend?
Sunday 27th April?
I still don't guarantee to have my poo in a pile, but I can possibly work under pressure.........

All those in favour say Aye...

[bost_uid0]Aye[/bost_uid0]

Well, time for coffee..........
My car isn't the only thing that needs a boost sometimes
:laugh:[/colorost_uid0]

[BigBoyLemonade]

[color=#006666ost_uid0]Holy ****...

ah!!! it all falls into place! smack Bugs in the back of the head! and tell him not to brag about who he knows! he was telling how he was bragging about my car to you... dont worry an astina is much better than a water cooled VW Kombi! (Subaru Wagon)

Canberra is way too small!

Its not 6degrees of seperation.. its two degrees...

I know ABC, JJ and Zoom through friends of friends...[/colorost_uid0]
