Posted: Wed Mar 24, 2010 12:30 am
Name: Will
Location: St Albans
Year/ Model: '84 Pulsar ET Turbo
Colour: Orange
Period of ownership: 1 year
Performance: Untested, T2 at 7-10 PSI
Engine Mods: AFM Relocation, FMIC, Standard Dump to 2.5" Exhaust to Cannon muffler, BOV, CAI, VL Throttle body, Manual boost controller.
Has been rebuilt to unknown specifications, however do know it has an O-ringed block & 1mm copperhead gasket combined with a more agressive cam.
Interior Mods: Proform shift light, BES turbo timer, Speco Boost Guage, Autotechnica steering wheel, thermo fan switch, central locking & immobiliser
Previous owner put in new carpet, and the owner before him has changed over the beige trim (dash etc) to black.
Exterior Mods: Jetspeed front bar
Wheels: BSA 17" Rims
Other: Dual stage boost controller missle switch not connected, Jaycar DFA not connected, 5th injector incorporated into the intecooler kit not connected (located just before the TB in picture below), port matched intake and exhaust manifolds not connected.
Future Plans: Stck on the t25g, additional guages: A/F and Oil pressure, maybe aftermarket ecu, boost and tune. Wouldn't mind tidying up the wiring loom in the engine bay and relocate battery to boot.

Have learnt a lot about working on cars since owning and working on the ET. Feel confindent to tackle future projects. Unfortunately this is my third engine. Am hoping to keep this one haha. Always learning from my mistakes. First engine, i blew the headgasket after suffering a combination of an engine oil flush (dislodged shit in the engine that was probably helping seal areas) and a massive overheat. Second engine, downgeared into second gear to floor it, and blew the comp ring in cylinder 4. Believed it was due a massive lean out and detonation as a result. Too much boost, not enough fuel. Continued to run on 3 cylinders until i took that out and dropped in my current motor. Not keen on boosting it as i suspect my boost guage may be inaccurate!
