What have you done to your car today?

Watercooling is for sharks and dolphins too yo.

I know it doesnt need watercooling. But I like watercooling. Watercooling is nice.

also TD04 is going on the BH; so whale point perfectly valid. Needs watercooling yo.

Finished fitting a v7 TMIC to my v4. I also fitted a watersptayer at the same time. I mainly followed this article for fitting the intercooler http://www.carldavey.co.uk/article.php?id=3 .

Results: temps seem to have dropped quite a bit. When I hold it at 100kph under brakes with WOT in 3rd gear (about 5000rpm) for about 10secs the IAT gets to about 47c. And with the water sprayer going it gets to about 40c

With the stock intercooler at Pukekohe track I was getting temps of 70c at 180kph. That was with the heat shield off the turbo and heaps of bent fins on the old IC. So not a fair comparison but I'm very pleased with the outcome.

Final Install

I'm still waiting for a mount to come from partsouq

Not yet, I'm on the lookout for a v8 scoop and splitter but they are hard to come by

I just got a splitter off a guy in wellington and a intercooler all for under 100 bucks with bov.

Well worth doing in my books. Not sure exactly what my splitter is, I got it off a member on here and it bolted straight on but its significantly larger and better directed than the v5 one. Happy to take some photos or show you if your around Hamilton sometime.

It would be great if you could put a photo or two up. I'm after ideas on how I can modify my one or what other splitters are out there that will fit.

Cleaned out primary boost solenoid and replaced hoses 10 and 23 from solenoid to turbo. Amazing the s**t that comes out of the hoses. Car seems to like soooooo far so fingers crossed….

Finished making a gauge mount for my '04 BP5 Legacy:

Thanks timmah..great effort by you and Dacerx to make the road trip up from CHCH..Nice to meet you all..

Replaced dash bulbs with blue leds so will see how that came out once it gets dark. Pulled bbod apart, cleaned solenoids inside and replaced hoses at same time. Oh and took new spoiler in for painting ready for fitting on Thursday.

UPDATED: So replacing bbod hoses with 4mm silicon turned out to be a great idea! Car comes onto secondary real hard! Feels like a different car completely! Well at least it did after I realised I hadn't taken restrictor pill out of old hose #2 and put it into new hose #2. Anyway surprise and yay me I did it. Highly recommend to all TT Legacy owners to go and clean your BBOD!

Car... might put the hks ssqv on this avo. Maybe.

bike... stripped down the bike, ripped off the carbs, disassembled cleaned reassembled synchronised and balanced... bastard of a job. Bike runs soooooo nicely now LOL quad carbs suck

Iridiums 7's, boss head deck, tidied up fmic cutout and took it for a skid. Headers sound like a cammed evo under 3k and at cruise then on boost up in the revs it sounds straight as a die. Feels smoother top to bottom.

did 1200km and a trackday, survived.
