Hi all, It's been 4 years now since i've own my 4 door EP81, which i've converted into a GT, and i've been focusing mainly on the performance side, that i've missed out on maintening the body itself. So before it actually starts to rust really bad, i'm planning on doing a full body...

Hi guys, Just as the title says, what are the advantages and disadvantages of running an open downpipe, or straight pipe exhaust on a stock 4efte, with a stock CT9 turbo?...once my exhaust blew at the flexible, and i remember it felt a little sloppy at the low ends, but the power was quite...

Hi guys, I've been noticing how my engine would loose some power, compared from before i had it overhauled, especially in 4th gear, at higher rpms. I've also noticed a vibration through the floor and steering wheel, while decelerating from a high speed pull, from 5th to 4th to 3rd gear, as...

Hi guys, on friday i was cleaning my engine bay, and i moved the coolant reservoir to where the radiator fan is to be able to tighten a loose bolt that holds the fuse box, and somehow i forgot to put it back in place, so i closed the hood, and then i went for a drive the next day...on my way...

Hi all, I have just installed a turbosmart mbc on my stock 4efte, and opened up the valve a quite a bit...After testing i do notice a change in the turbo spool up response, the turbo sound gets louder, the dumpvalve gets louder, and the power throughout the rpms are just crazy, especially...

Hi all...i'm planning on upgrading to a bigger turbo setup, with a good response and big power throughout the mid-range and top-end. I have 2 setups in mind, a TD04 hybrid or a WEPR GT20-FS...What i would like to know, is the differences in spooling time and power outputs from each turbo, on a...

Hi all, i just bought a set of 15" x 8j offset rims, and would like to know the disadvantages in terms of handling and performance, due to the wider tyre setup all around...anyone tried this before? I own an EP81, converted into a GT....engine wise it's basically stock. Cheers :)

Hey... I have a PFC F-con, with e304 rom, and planning on installing it in my car soon. My engine is stock, at the moment, with only an FMIC, 8mm magnecore leads, irridium 6 spark plugs, HKS ssq BOV, SARD FPR, and a meshed up CT9 turbo instead of an air filter. Question: 1. Can i use a...

Hello all... When i'm on a slope, and activate my handbrake, the car would slightly move, depending on how steep the slope is...When i park the car on a flat area, activate the handbrake, jack it up, and try to spin the rear wheels, i notice that the one on the right-hand side would spin a...

hi guys, i'm just wondering what could be causing my engine check light to come on, whenever i go hard through corners, especially when driving uphill, on my way home. The car doesn't stutter while that happens, and the light would go off when i restart the engine...any ideas? PS. i had a...

Hi guys...i'm in need of an a/c condenser, for my a/c to work, and i was just wondering if by any chance, there's a smaller a/c condenser to fit my ep82, besides the WEPR types, for i plan on running a bigger turbo setup soon...maybe one that can be taken off another car brand???... would...

hi guys...i'd be very grateful if you all could guide me with a good setup to improve my handling, for yesterday i almost crashed, while driving in wet road conditions. I wasn't going fast, yet the car spins and loses control...i live in the mountains, and that happens while driving up-hill as...

hey guys...i've been hearing a slight rattling noise coming from inside the rocker cover area, the car seems to run fine though, but due to the fact that i don't know what's causing it i'm avoiding any hard accelerations for now...any idea what that is?...:confused:

Hi guys... when i bought my ep81, i was told that it was engaged in a small accident once, but it was no big deal and that he got it fixed, so i got my mechanic to take a look at it just to be sure, cuz i had already planned on replacing the 2e engine with a 4efte, but again he also claimed that...
