probably ball bearing also... i have one of those turbo tech it was on my car a totall of 3 hrs CRAP! you can have it if you need spring and ball....cheap and nasty... maybe i got a dud one but they sux! and i did adjust it .....

hi to all! well i am an apprentice sheet metal worker im 23 and doing an adult apprenticeship i have been mucking about with metal since i was about 14...here are some of my projects i am making and planning to make ok first up i made this air filter adapter out of 1.6mm thickness stainless steel sheet and 75 mm 3" tube... preperation is the key to tig welding something of this nature can bu "fused " together this is when you apply heat to a concentrated area and the join simply melts together you move on at a steady rate keeping an eye on the moulten pool this is fusing....to have a successful fuse you must have the two edges of material clean and as close as possible if you you try to fuse 2 peices with a small gap it will simply burn away leaving a hole or even bigger gap to fill! and it suxs been down that road.. this is an un pollished part at the moment stainless can be pollished to a number 4 finish using scotch brite scouring pad...this is food grade finish! not that i will be eating off this..high pollishing is possible with the right buff wheels..i found this finish is enuf. ok second here is the first oil catch can i made ...it was originally made for my buggy (turbo suburu single seat buggy full custom) but i am using it to mock up the hose arrangement as my car is off the road turbo is at Slides.... ok once again stainless steel used 4 inch tube, 2 end caps, small pipe to fit air filter, i will add step by step pictures when available monday or tuesday... but basically this was all fused together bar the inlet pipes where the metal was not touching some filler rod was used (filler rod is stainless steel in a rod form usually 1.5 to 2mm thick sizes vary) you start by "tacking' the end cap on place a tack every 1 cm or so to hold in place securely then lightly dolly /tap with a small hammer to close the gap around the join no gap it what you want.. then proceed to fuse it on you may want to do about a 4 cm long strip then using a wet rag cool the metal by placing the rag directly on it this will prevent the metal from warping due to excessive heat. take your time it will come out better if you do it right! ok thats it for now till pictures arrive number 3 here is a heat shield i made in around thirty minutes very simple only tool used was grinder tig a press and gilotene ok i now the press and the gilotene are out of the question for most..but it all can be done with a hammer tig welder gringer and thats about it. same applies for fusing this as stated above preperation is the key!! if you have the tig to hot or incorrectly sharpened it whill burn unevenly and you want nice even penetration and not to much a that! i will be adding more and more as i go am currently making an alloy air box here is some other pics just of what is possible with a bit of time and patience! hope this helps any question just pm me if this isnt detailed enuf let me know can get right down to the nitty gritty! cheers soon to be alloy air box.. bit of time turned this into this: nuthing to special but an improvement

cast welding is not that easy... most cases you must heat the cast to a certain heat range before you even atempt to weld and the most common way is to use an oxy/ acetylene torch with an attachment with the "filler" in a powder form and is sprayed on while the torch heats the metal and cooling can be a long process also due to the fact that if you cool it too quick it can crack ..

this was originally a little inside info what could be a major problem it has been turned into a manufactures war it was about fords now we are hearing bout this car and that car and oh this car did this and didnt do that the facts are there they dont lie...

bought one it was shit house spiking laggy hooked it up as the instructions said played around adjusting it BAH! crap i say get what you pay for.....maybe i got a dodgy one i still have it u can have it ANYONE!

i have had nothing to do with safc but.... i wouuld look into getting your ecu re mapped i dun know much about this but there has been alot of discution on these see what a search turns up... sorry i could not be more help. i am running a standard ecu (for now) frront mount pod turbo dump custom satinless one...full exhaust 11 psi before turbo went to slide for flowing wont be back in till end of month but it was running fairly sweet around the 10 psi mark.. but if you give it a boot full down low in the rev range its where it starts to run shit ease your foot on bringing revs up smoothly and it pulls like a train! sudden rush of air and your ecu has a heart attack R&R!

i am looking for a standard rb25 inlet manifold .. cheers!

mate i got r33 gtst when it had standard turbo front mount and boost controller one of them $22 ebay ones everyone was going on about.. which was shithouese! i had more power on the standard boost then when i turned it up it ran like a pig all comes down to r&r and your standard ecu ...answer.. power fc and a tune my 2 cents!

good to hear hopefully hasnt been thrashed around to much....

i am looking for a right hand side electric window regulator (motor) urgent need asap!

search button is your friend...there is so many threads on this just search u will find what u need

im not a ford fan but you have done a nice job.....may know ppl interested..let u know...

i hate that you should have thrown the spanner at his head!

sorry i will be more to the point we have higher levels of calcium in our water hence white marks ...its a problem we must filter it.... just a thought.. i love sarcasim .... jvp

hi i will be cnc profile cutting the standard turbo flange for the rb25...material either 304 stainless steel or mild steel 10mm think as i am making stainless 3inch dump... can cut as many as needed... can cut any flange if i have a pattern.. any d.i.y blokes out there that want to have a crack pm me. cheap... basically free! any material thinkness...will post pics of the finished job.. got to love working in fabrication shop! depending on end result may make a few to sell.. all t.i.g welded and polished.

use speedy sleeves all the time rebuilding hydraulic motors on sugar cane harvesters and various shafts were seals run found them to be very useful and a good result have not had one fail yet... have not tried them on a crank shaft before though would be interesting... my 2 cents

I LIVE in a rural area im qld got silver r33 wash it and i get the white marks ITS CALCIUM! in the water and yep i got to buff it off it suxs but unless you filter your water your stuck with it of wash your car with mount franklin water./

well am getting compression test done this week new turbo comming soon hopefully...the car isnt blowing any smoke and was pulling strong prior to ficnding this fault.. i would not have even noticed the noise if it wasnt for me winding the window down to chat to to a mate in another car because usually radio is up loud and a/c on so i guess im lucky i an unlucky way... let you know how it goes..

well i knew something was wrong my turbo stated whistling louder than usuall... it got the better of me so i pulled the intake off and found this.... bit pits and marks in the turbo fins i cannot find the peice of metel or whateva went threw it god only knows where it ended up...any advice help or anyone with a 2nd hand turbo in good condition let me know

here are some pictures of my ree intercooler install and polishing of pipes and the end tanks it is a just jap intercooler 600/300/76 pipes are by oz performance...ebay

ummm just a thought since when has your steering going heavy had anything to do with the blend of fuel your running...check your power steering fluid for a start...

yeah was a waste of time.....bought it put it in..read out eratic useless POINTLESS!!! will upgrade o2 sensor when pfc goes in.... thanks anyway

yeah i noticed that...i have a power fc comming..wanted the a/f to be sure everything went right when pfc goes in thanks anyway...i will put the a/f gauge on hold...spend my little amount of money on better things... cheers
