while your doing that might as well slap a turbo on it :)

You'll need to remove the head if thats the case. Might as well throw a gasket kit at it while you're there, just to be sure. Drop the sump and replace the con bearings while you're there ... hell, re-ring it too. Check for abnormal wear and tear.

Best to spend an extra day and $300 freshening up the motor, just to be sure.

I did it will all my engines I picked up for cheap. :D

edit: oh, while the head is off, remove the valves and clean them up too.

your curve Joel from like 95 is like hold on and enjoy the ride :D

For Rad33 with his new rb25det on the way.. Get an rb30 under it. :P

RB25det vct head FTW for bottom end. :D

AL's motor is running the same GT3076 .82 on an rb30det but with a nice exhaust and inlet manifold with slightly smaller cams. The VCT has picked up some nice low end power peak power appears to be made around 7000rpm.

Now for mine.. :P 15.5psi that can be seen and the last tune at 19.5psi through the mid that tails off to 17psi causing top end to flatten out. The 2" fmic piping is causing issues up top as well as the wastegate flap being blown open.

Mine makes its peak around 6000rpm. Will play with the adj. cam gears to shift that to approx 6500rpm. :D

lol we could of told you that cars never miss behave once you get them to the mechanics - PM send about AFM's

So when the mechanics drive my car it doesnt shit itself?????????? FFS!

so where does that leave me? high and dry.

the only thing i can do is.... what for it to happen again and make sure it happens at the mechanics?

ill have to try and clean out the AFMs and check for damage.

Damo :D

    • Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.
    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
    • I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt 
    • So M12 and sealant should be fine?    NPT ” because that’s what I had and what I could get atm.
