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?

    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
    • BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
