hey, I'm from Hamilton too.

What colour (and what is the reg plate number) is your EX? if it's red, it's probably Ant's one who used to post on here for a bit.

[KNIGHT RYDER]

Yea its red and his name was antonny, what was his user name? does anyone know its history before he got it? would be keen to know how many ex models are left in nz, also does enyone know the where abouts of another ex same as mine reg number AUB645,a mate use to own it

[KNIGHT RYDER]

does anyone know where to get a nice airdam front spoiler from? im over Waihi way,cheers for your reply

[dirtygalant]

forgot his username on here, but he hasn't posted in a while.

He's had it for a fair few years, looked after it really well etc. I suppose he just wasn't using it much lately so decided to sell.

[KNIGHT RYDER]

yep, i think that one was brought by a guy on here (Spinners) and stripped for parts a couple of years ago, was in pretty bad nick by the time he got it - heaps of rust etc... A few parts from it in my car now from memory...

[Lunacy]

Flick jas a pm for an airdam. And welcome :-)

[KNIGHT RYDER]

thanks , anyone got any tips on gaining horse power from the sohc 4g63 without to many modifications? thanks

[dirtygalant]

boost, larger turbo, larger exhaust, bigger diameter intercooler piping and better flowing intercooler, ditching the TBI system. Yours is the red top motor which should be 8.5:1 comp ratio and approx 175hp from factory.

[KNIGHT RYDER]

Hi cheers for info,its currently got a tco5 on it so it spools up quicker then the factory tco6,would increasing the inlet pipe size into airbox help?

my intercooler in laying flat,i didnt think they were factory in the ex,would it be benificial to change to straight up and down?

also would a straight through 2 1/2 inch exhaust be good or 3 inch better?

if i up the boost with a bleed of tap will i need to change anything to compinsate for boost rise or will computor do it for me? i believe 13.5 psi is tops or boost will cut if i exceed 14 psi?

thanks for any help

[87_starion]

If your talking about my old car it has a TD05 16G not a TC05. Boost cut was about 14.8Psi. It ran best at 13.8Psi and the mixtures were still sweet. I barely used it in the last 3 1/2 years as it lived in a different city, in a garage under a cover and never saw the rain.

Hope your enjoying it, it was a good car to me!

The car lived in Matamata before my ownership and belonged to a chick.

[KNIGHT RYDER]

cheers for the info dude,is td05 a garret? im lovin the car,just gotta sort some front shocks and i think i better do cambelt because they are meant to be good for 100.000kms or 5 years so time frame is up,also the water pump has abit of play in it,its still parked in a shed so should stay nice and tidy :beer

nope td05 is a mitsi turbo. If its a 16g its probably and evo 1-3 turbo

[87_starion]

Yeh that stuff was changed 7 years ago so its getting on.
From memory, that turbo is basically what would be on a EVO 1 or 2, EVO 3 is slightly different again.
