The sooner you learn to stop knocking other businesses the better. I would be worried if someone with your attitude was touching my engine!

With the amount of tasty engines Paul is building for people right now, you wont find any love in here buddy :D

with all due respect, cheeky comments like the one i made have no place in other peoples threads, no matter how much substance is behind it.

Hopefully this is the last time it is mentioned.

Man i wish i had a hoist,i hate pulling the box out on stands!!!

Anyone have a hoist at a workshop i can borrow for a few hours lol

Two post hoist and gearbox jack FTW

you should try doing it in the pits at Eastern Creek with a deadline for qualifying...we had to replace the gearcluster as well after smashing 3rd gear...rebuilt box with it sitting it on top of a waste oil drum (our workbench...lol) behind our pit garage...never again!...we made it by 10mins.

Dave what doesn't kill you will only make you stronger. (thats the only positive thing i could think of)

Clutch problem sorted. I took the Main cylinder adjustment to its maximum and it has seem to have fixed it. No free play in the clutch at all.

Thank god i didnt have to take the gearbox out :D

Thanks to Paul and Terry@Award Diff & Gearbox for the imput shaft. Didnt need it this time but will be handy to have. Just letting the pipes cool down before i take the wastegate off.

who said you could keep the input shaft?....hehe just kidding.

good to hear you didnt need to whip it out.

........How did you say you were paying for all this Dave?!

Ah funny :(

Myself and jeffworld2 went for a bit of a drive down southern highlands way. Loaded it up every chance i got, with pedal control, i was aiming for 10psi and 5000rpm. Which is only 1/4 throttle. The thing just wants to go!

Now the engine has 137kms on it. Will be going to put 1000km on it before i go for the full tune.

So......i have 863 more kms to do.........whos up for a cruise??? :D

Your more restrained than i am, im going to get my new motor ran in on a dyno, wont be able to hold my self back for 1000 k's

dave your car spools too loud lol. too bad it doesnt go very fast :( It was good following you, because i could hear you spool up and knew i had to too. then when we were on th e highway, i heard a truck and thought it was you haha

HOWEVER:: the biggest thing i discovered, was that your headlights are ridiculously bright- did rsr get new ones>>? thats why that truck flashed you. I also decided that noise wasnt a turbo honk it was the road.

hope you had fun with this build because mine is coming out again soon :D

EDIT: i did 2000km last time, with one dead turbo. i never knew till we turned the wick up and nothing happened

Yes my headlights had been adjusted too high. I adjusted them when i got home tonight.

As for that road,it freaked me out hence why i pulled over. Im going out for "coffee" in a few mins.

Dave come for a drive up to Newy this weekend...we are putting an 1100hp turbo on my car...come and have a look.

1100hp? Pfft weak sauce :(

Good, the thing finally arrived. Are you starting early? I have to be back in Sydney by 3pm.

yeah unfortunately they didn't have any big turbo's left at the shop so i had to settle for the little one.

what day?

    • Robertson was a Canadian inventor, and it absolutely reigns supreme here. 95% of our screws are Roberston. It's literally the only option you can buy off store shelves. What would it have lost out too? I believe it's also very popular in the US.  My reference to imperial was pointed to both NPT and BSP. 
    • No. BSP lost to the cultural/technical imperialism of living next to Trumpistan. Face it, Robertson screws were better and still pretty much lost out to the yank stuff. The Europeans hate the Brits and they don't use NPT. NPT is just as "imperial" as BSP is, being based on those useless inch thingos. Just done differently. 
    • I live in Quebec. Our license plate slogan is "Je me souviens" Translated is "We will remember" as a reminder to when England conquered us and that we must never forget what they did. Long story short, BSP is unheard of here due to being an English design. I'm surprised our nazi anti english government office the OQLF hasn't kicked in my door yet just talking about it, yet alone imperial anything.       
    • Thanks for that! I did a quick Google search looked up some of hydaulic stores and didn't see it listed on the website, I'll give them a ring. Also found out later that I can buy 2 oem bleeder bolts for 10 bux and come with the washer which I might do so I don't waste the money it costs in petrol to find 2 washers (already did that lol). The old copper washes look in good nick, I drove it after taking it off and putting it back on and didn't see any  Part number here for reference if anyone needs: 14053-42L0A
