hey wes. glad to know youre looknig after her. the reason it has shocks and springs is because coilovers are not the know-all and end-all of handling. ive been through MANY suspension setups on this car, ive had teins, and ive had D2s. ive tried different strut bar setups aswell. they way it...

why is he selling this dave?

hybrid, only the s15s had the ceramic shafts. and they run high boost ok, a friend of mine had one spooling to 1.2bar and it was fine.

defo mate, there arnt many cars i can have a good close blap with. i really enjoyed it. shame about those fucking cones though eh! lol.

it wasnt 150 mate. its 287.9hp on low boost. 150hp wouldnt be able to keep up with a 350hp astra. i had to keep letting off when i was behind your mate :P

^^ was only on low boost

all of my seals were exactly the same both sides, i wonder what difference it makes?

that would be me mate, that astra is quite nippy!

cusco make seperate camber plates for the EPs

pressure mate, its a little ball and spring jobbie that opens up when the presure reaches a certain level.

pins are pretty easy to fit dan, just make sure the angle of the pin is straight as it can be a pain getting it right with the curve of the bonnets. bit of an old pic, but.

it depends who was asking.

the stock 5efhe runs this based on RPM, but i modified mine to run dependant on boost. took me a while to get right but it works pretty well.

i am running that inlet, and its taken me a while, but ive got it working perfectly. the short runners open at 5 psi.

i said it, yes. but, i never ever enter a technical discussion on opinion. it is fact that a longer stroke in the same bore will cause more bearing wear if both motors are revved to the same limit. go ask anyone who builts engines. it is my opinion, but its also fact. it applies to any engine...

it was me who had reliability issues. but they wasnt bad: oil pump failure, pulley failure, clutch problems, etc but, i expect them. im pushing the 5e to the limit, and i know stuff will break. but youre taking it out of context. a turbo 5e will never be as reliable as a 4e due to the reasons...

yep, best piece of advise there. plan it out properly before throwing loads of parts together and expecting a ton of power. and everyone has their own little tuning secrets. its all part of the fun ^^

if i did it again, id probably stick with a 4e. they are more than capable, just look at dave's. that thing is a fecking animal. and there is ALWAYS that thought in the back of your mind about what will break next with the 5e. touch wood though, she hasnt eaten any parts in the last 2 months. i...

there is a guy running 28 psi on a ct9, and apparently it isnt hybridised. but it wouldnt be efficient. it isnt about boost, its about air flow. alot of people get confused by that. just because you run high boost doesnt mean that youll make big power. engines are a big air pump, and the more...

the main concern with them is the compression. due to the longer stroke, high compression is inevitable (the fhe runs at 9.8:1 for example) and to compensate you will have to run low comp pistons and have a bigger than your average head gasket. and running a 2.6mm head gasket is obviously not...
