Thanks for that, I meant Monkys the export company from Japan.

there is no real point dealing with these guys ,they are used car dealers that buy there cars from auction like everybody else and detail them before export ,most things they do prior to car leaving japan is done at compliance anyway ..oils ,filters ,brakes,tyres etc and a good detail is only $150 -$165 ..anything they do "extra" is charged at japan labour rates which is about twice the australian labour rate so personally i can`t see any real reason to buy from them .there is a thousand "exporters" over there ..which basically means "we take car from auction house to port for you"

just my opinion anyway :)

I actually didnt know that changing oils ,filters ,brakes,tyres were compliance.

Good stuff, good to know though.

.....is about twice the australian labour rate .....

Im actually from Canada where importing from Japan is now just taking off. Its been said that in Canada we are where you guys were 4 years ago in terms of importing, so I figured I would see what the more experienced guys had to say

Thanks!

      My thought is if you were just moving it forward and the upstream geometry remained the same, then no difference at all. But because the current one has the filter direct into the AFM inlet, you effectively have the best chance of a completely symmetric air flow profile upstream, and in, the AFM, whilst the aftermarket inlet thingo has a (small, to be sure) bend between the filter and the AFM. That would bias the flow to the outside of the bend (downstream of the bend) which might well reduce the size of the signal seen by the AFM, for the same total flow rate. Having said that: If you're proposing to make your inlet look like a hybrid of your existing one and the aftermarket one, such that there is no bend where the filter is clamped on... then I say it will be just fine. If there is going to be such a bend, then, if you can align the insertion of the AFM blade such that it is at right angles to the plane of the bend, then there is a better than even chance that the centreline velocity where the blade is will remain more or less the same, and the velocity will just be a little faster to the outside of that, and just a little slower to the inside. **This is not professional investment advice and you should consult a suitably qualified ouija board, tea leaves or the intestines of a goat for more accurate prognostication.

      Blue/grey smoke after idle

      By pacman_1219 · Posted

      Hi Tao, Thanks for your reply.  It's been a while and I managed to get the valve stem seals replaced with the head on the car.  Unfortunately this didn't solve my issue, the car still smokes a lot after idling (to be honest during idle you can see a bit of blue smoke from the exhaust), same after deceleration. I will try disconnecting the valve cover breathers, do I leave the PCV valve in? By engine oil drain pipe, do you mean the turbo oil drain?

      My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
