i see

your being lazy, but i do know how you feel. i had the same trouble when i high flowed my turbo....

man the worst nut is the one on the dumpipe connecting to the back of the turbo the litttle one in the middel away from the block... mine was a diferent size, and also trying to put the water lines back on....

but yeah Andy i can sympathise with you, so when are you buying the high mount manifold :devil:

Nah not being lazy..I am about to go back down! I just need a drink! A stubby spanner makes that middle nut way easier!

High mount manifold may come with the new turbo

LOL mike u must be excited i would reply to your sms but doing it here is cheaper :devil: congrats on the payout :devil: guessing you'll set a decent amount aside for a good alarm/immobiliser for whatever you choose this time?

yeah, i'll be investing in gps tracking for this one.

i'm putting in for holidays so i can go pick up the car i found. not telling any of you what it is, but its a bit different to what i had in mind. its in SA.

MY

GOD

None of the guys could get that one back on ours either - they made ME do it. Took me well over 45 minutes. Had to go like 1/4 mm from the top, 1/4 mm from the bottom. ARGH!

pros of owning 50xf's

-one key will open and start them all...

(ive owned 2 xf's in my time, my dad had one and one key could open and start them all and strangley for some reason my mums liteace van)

-plenty of spares, retread tyres are cheap for them..

-you could annoy businesses by moving your army of xf's around and parking them in inconvienent locations.. eg: clog up the entire milton carpark.

-one set of plates and one rego would cover them all, cops expect the xfs are stolen/out of rego when they see them anyway

-you could start your own one make race series...

cons

-not that practical

-fuel bills

-not a fully sik car these days

pros>cons :devil:

holy crap lil anna you're at the top of todays posting, by quite a bit :)

    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
    • As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
    • Bloody apprentices! 🙄
    • Not sure yet.  Was considering speedtek because it was rated to 800hp, but when I did some research about him I don't think I will go for that🤣 So maybe giken gear set, but I'm afraid it won't be strong enough🙄
