I didn't realise it was progressive. Silly me! Progressively opening would be great. Put the biggest oil cooler you can fit and temps won't change. Still too much stuffing around for my purpose. Those hoses are bloody expensive (like $300 for 2 hoses & fittings).

A thermostat is more complication that I didn't want (more $$ hoses/fittings). I really doubt that any oil thermostat after switching to "on" would ever switch to "off" unless the car was turned off for a couple of hours. Even with water temps at around 85c the oil temp is still a fair bit...

I've put an engine oil cooler on my car. Its actually quite large. http://www.earls.com.au/category.php?ID=6 (I've got the biggest one there) Because I've got a remote oil filter setup I set it up: engine -> cooler -> oil filter -> engine That page above also has adapters with a...

Just points out that I'm neglecting the forums. :(

pity I just read this post, would've been nice to catch up with another enthusiast

Talked to him again today. He did NOT extend the maps. He's running a whole different program, which he created himself, which is an improvement over the standard one. His timing maps go to 6,600 or 6,800 (not 7k like I said earlyer) and fuel changes go to 9k revs. I've heard of people...

Some of my comments weren't directly for you. [Edit: didn't see you mention memcal. Your exactly right] Some of the Delco V8 chips listen more closely (or different frequencies) and will detect more knocking than others. Thats on the same knock sensor (I thought the holden/Delco ones were...

WHY would you put an "aftermarket" computer on if you wanted a conservative tune?? I did another log recently to see if anything had changed, and guess what - it had. Apparently they changed the Shell Optimax formula and there were a couple of MINOR knocks (my computer was pulling out about...

I'm still at a loss to know how people actually tune a car without knock sensors. And I agree they're a necessity.

The other thing is. I don't think a microtech is a big (or any) advantage over a standard computer on the standard engine. Unless the engine is slightly modified (like PeeWee's). In a heavily modified one (forced induction) I don't think a microtech would be appropriate, theres something...

No I still havn't cleaned up my wiring. I've been saving (around wedding) to get you out to work some magic on it. Richard definately does packages to put it in, wire it up and tune it. But everyone thinks these days that they can tune it as well as a professional so he doesn't sell that...

Richard's box IS designed to go with "any" system. Most of the people that have put the Autronic on the 1UZs have had to change sensors and muck around with the engine. Not a way I'd favour. As for tuning it on an engine dyno I don't understand the reason. The way Richard tunes is...

As most of you would know, I'm running a GM Delco computer on my 1UZ (and have been for nearly 2 years now) You can find out some more info here: http://www.v8supra.com/delco.html At the moment my tuner, Richard, is making a couple of the modules that make a standard (in regards to...

400ZED (forgot your name already) Was great you could make it!! We all apreciate you (and your dad) making the trip and feel for you for the insane petrol prices and radiator woes. I'll have to take you for a drive in a manual to PROVE how bad an auto really is ... but I'm more than...

Was a great meet! There was lots of cars at different stages of modification. All the guys were great. And going in the club for lunch was an expected bonus at a car meet :) Good to see a mix of the other clubs, Toymods, ALSC and Altezza all rolled into the Lextreme scene! Eddy, I'm...

These meets are great, you usually put the name to the car, not the face. "oh your the guy that drives the HZ" And then theres Neil. I remember him more than his car(s). He greeted me with a (friendly) insult that my car sounded crap because it didn't have his extractors on it, then I got...

Get someone to drive the other one! I could probably find a volunteer - me, and my fiance can drive my car. ... where abouts do you live?

Me too! Can't wait to see everyone

Great! See you there

Whats the latest?? How many do we have coming?
