r32-25t

It’s what pretty much everyone does and is also what everyone has been telling you to do. most people run a new set of wires from the ecu

Just do it properly and put the valve on the other side of the engine bay, block the 2 red hoses off, take the boost source from where you are currently taking it under the plenum then using a t-piece connect port 2 to both of the waste gates and leave port 1 open

The os88 has a habit of breaking the input shaft and it’s generally a 6 month wait to get a new one. They also very agricultural compared to the newer boxes as they were designed in the 90s and haven’t changed much since then

number one port is currently plumbed into the bottom of the plenum which is a boost source

That’s not even close to what people have been telling you to do!!

The stagea has the same tank as the r32 gtr and out of my r32 gtr I used to get around 400-450kms to a tank with standard petrol (gas) and now it’s on e85 is more like 300-320 to a tank

But JDM parts YouTube fame yo

It’s a bit of a weird one considering water isn’t supposed to touch the sleeves in these blocks. I’m just glad they found an issue rather then not finding anything and guessing the head gasket just didn’t seal

Block was tested this week and turns out it’s leaking from number 6 sleeve, been told they’ll strip it down to a bare block and and pull the sleeve out to find out why it’s leaking

Sad 😞 my engine had to come back out and all it had done was Idled 4 or 5 times

The dr30?

Agree, Mondays can eat shit

I’m sure there are cars that don’t follow that rule, then again they may have had the front wiped off and had the front guards replaced

Blue are on na cars and red are on turbo ones, the gold were part of an option pack with gold badges

Pull Belt off and turn pump with a drill, put belt back on and start car

They’re blind holes and they’re designed with a shank on the bottom of the stud to bottom out and make sure the length is correct

So they took the head off pretty much straight away and pressure tested it both hot and cold and confirmed the head is fine, they are going to pressure test the block but don’t believe there is a way that can cause the issue.

The oil splashing on them will probably create a bigger weight discrepancy then you’re trying to shave off

It’s usually the torque from the engine pulls them apart, most people just fit a solid one to the passenger side

An advantage of grub screwing is you can run the pipe cleaners through all the oil galleries

Pull the wire out of the master cylinder and see if it stays off, if so then the sensor is faulty

Looking at it myself there’s only really one thing I believe it could be, I’m just not going to say anything until the machine shop looks at it and gives their opinion

Yeah to the engine shop to find the issue, i supplied the block brand new in a box and let them machine and build it

Sorry it’s taken so long but I haven’t been well (not sure why) Unfortunately it’s not a throw off, while the car was at the fabricator/tuner they noticed an oil leak and said they didn’t want to tune the car until it was rectified. the car was towed to the fab shop that did the sump and put on his hoist and we looked for the leak, we determined where the leak was and what had caused it and the engine needed to come out because he didn’t want to weld it on the car. He then offered me his hoist to pull the engine out which I was very grateful for and the next day arrived tools in hand and remove the engine and gearbox in about 4 hours!! Now, while draining the oil tank I noticed what came out first appeared to be coolant then followed by oil, I undid all the scavenge lines and we noticed there was a milky layer coming out of them as well 😞 once the engine was out and and the sump removed there was clear evidence of coolant in the oil/sump, so the engine was put into my Ute and I took it home to take the manifolds and etc off and dropped to the engine shop. The car was then towed out of the workshop to get it out of the fabricators way

well things took a turn for the worse and then got even worse again. Will update with full story soon
