On the flip side, i had my dip stick blow out a couple of times a while back and spray the strut tower with oil, only did it a couple of times, recently i replaced the turbo with a 3540, the inlet, comp cover and all the ic piping and ic were coated in oil, cleaned then all and installed a catch can full of stainless steel wool, have had the inlet and one of the cooler pipes on since and there is not a drop of oil in there or the catch can and i now run 18psi!

when i changed the injectors on my 25 i noticed that the injector does not sit firmly against the factory O ring in the manifold but it all seals fine.

what suburb, interested in the jack stands.

Just wondering, if a car has a full epa on it can the car be sold even after the rego has been cancelled, i know it cant be whilst it still has rego not sure if it can with no rego.

put them in the parts section, ppl will see them there, and not think they are a sandwich maker

I never expected you to put other buyers on hold, whether I'm buying or selling, untill the money's on the table it's still for sale.

Im guessing it probably wont be worth it but if you have the time get a quote and i'll let you know.

any idea how much to get the bonnet to vic 3200?

are you holding it with the death grip?

Out of interest what is the cost?

Judging by the plates on the firwall this car has previously been complied with the rb20det? If so that would mean if someone wanted to go to the trouble of installing an rb20det and any other stock parts needed they could get it road registered, or is there something else that will prevent that? Is there only a canary on it or full epa? Probably get more interest if you clarified this.

my diff was single spinning at times and the gearbox was a little crunchy so i put heavier oil in both, was 85(i think)/140 diff is now perfect and gearbox is hard to get into second and going back to 1st when cold but once warmed up goes into every gear perfectly, even snap shifting is a breeze with no crunching at all!

definately is better spec but as he said its a $500 sigma and he already has the turbo and other bits to use so he just wants to do it for shits n giggles! Thats the impression i get from this thread.

you do realise his not putting it on a 34 dont you?

Would love to have the tools and skills to do this sort of stuff, if i did my fairlane would have a turbo on it by now

Lets face it this is a turbo site, and as so some one at some stage has tried most combinations, there are also a lot of ppl on here whose job it is to be turbo guru's, there are also some who are just hardcore turbo fans and have seen a lot and researched many others, theres a good chance that some one would have an idea of what it is and once you know what it is then you can get an idea of what it will take to boost it.

the front of the airbox was cut out to put the intake from the 31 lid on there then the snorkel was cut down to fit and make it look a little more factory, its to get more air into the airbox to feed the 3540 i have on there.

btw, here is a good use for the 31 air box intake and snorkel pic

when your standing behind the car how low do you have to get before you start to see the turbo, could you see it when sitting in a car behind you?

when mine was on the dyno for comparison sake it made 251 with the box and the mod i did (see below) and then made 256 with no lid on at all. another mod that ppl do is to drill a hole in the bottom of the airbox and run a pipe down through the vacant cooler pipe hole (assuming you have your return pipe over the radiator) with a pod on the end of it. The general figure i hear is that the standard box max's out at about 250rwkw.

took the car to calder a few weeks ago, for an unknown reason (at the time) the boost started going up to 22psi when it was tuned at 18psi, had a look and checked vac lines and possible leaks but there was no problem, it still ran fine and there was stuff all knock (35 max a few times), tried changing the settings on the gizzmo boost controller but didnt change any thing so i just ran it how it was, as i was leaving i had another look over things and discovered that the vac line from the cooler pipe to the wastegate solenoid was off so effectively it was running unlimited boost which only hit 22psi!! the next day with everything back together i took it for a spin but on the old settings the turbo only hit 13-14psi, had to up the settings by about 20-30% to get it to 18psi again, also there was a bit of an odd noise coming from the turbo, sort of like the squeal my standard turbo made when it died but it was only about 20% as loud as the standard was. One of the things i thought it may have been was the shitty intake from the airbox that i made up when i put the 3540 on, so last weekend i put the hks pod back on, the old settings still give the same 13-14psi but now on 18psi the knock regularly hits 40-60 and on a setting where the boost hits 19-20 the knock hits 140-150, i cant tell if the extra noise from the turbo is still there or not because the intake is so loud it drowns it out. I do realise that the extra knock is probably because of the free flowing hks pod leaning it out but what could be causing the settings to have to be raised to get to the same boost that it use to have? I know from when i had the tune that there is a restriction, most likely the xforce cat, going to have atleast one of the mufflers replaced as it is atleast 7yrs old, question is what else could it be, temp stays around mid 70's dosnt lose water or oil and there is no oil in the catch can. The only other thing i think it might be or might be contributing is the gasket between the top and bottom half of the manifold, it sounds like its leaking but i cant see anything and the engine idles like normal, tried spraying some brake cleaner on it to see if the idle changes but it dosnt, it dissipates pretty quickly but i dont know if its evaporating or being sucked through the gasket. And then theres the last 2 options, i have hurt the engine or turbo, the two that i least want to be true! Any idea's or suggestions are welcome.

For once i agree with you, it is quite annoying how many people spell the simplest of words phonetically, i think its fair to assume that the majority of people on here are over the age of sixteen and should know this shit by now!

forget the front end, go before show i wanna see how the power and response is on it when its finally tuned!
