I no longer own a starion now. Sold it to a fella in Joondalup. It's been interesting but now that I've dappled in NISSAS & MITSUBISHIS. I'm going to the land of toyota.

Info taken from a forum is simply not credible.

here is the link for the updated rules not including COTF which I imagine are still being drawn up which is my speculative opinion.

pages 24-27

I've heard both iridium and platinum plugs have a greater resistance than normal plugs so unless you have a C.O.P set up I'd steer away from them.

Just added a photo of the wiring for ease. http://forums.austarion.com/viewtopic.php?t=14124&start=15 Just to clarify, there are two ways to tune with the translator, MAF or RPM. I run mine in MAF. It's the easiest way. This system is NOT plug and play on the Aus delivered starion. I also run th...

(edit) Added photo

I chose the 3" MAF cause it's easier to adapt to your IC piping. I also run it after the turbo so there is no restriction to the turbo inlet accept for the K&N pod http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l317/vr4shaun/DSCN4496.jpg http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l317/vr4shaun/DSCN4497.jpg Runni...

I run 12.8:1 A/F at WOT. Anything richer will shorten the life of your O2 sensor and root up your cat converter if your using them. I run a wide band and they ain't cheap to replace.
It's foolish to throw away 98 RON @ $1.68/L.
