coil packs are near new splitfires.

i checked all piping and appeared A'okay

as i said, simon has it now, i cant check anything,

ill keep ya all posted as soon as i find out.

cheers for the help all :)

ill put my money on a combination of things rather than internals. With internals, they usually go when ur hammering through the rev range, i reckon u have a dud coilpack + cracked cooler pipe, like maybe on the inside of an elbow

fecked turbs will pour out white smoke.

hey Chad, didnt your piston jam in a perfect position so you could keep driving it?

yeah, as you can see in this pic a large piece of the piston broke away but was held in place buy the rings, so under boost the piece was pushed back in to fill the whole, only blew big clouds of white smoke every now and then when i took off from the lights.

check the deterioration of the top land Chad, looks like it had been running on bad mixtures or timing for awhile

Yeah, im pretty sure the cause was a bad puel pump, its was replaced, but obviously it was to late for it and it ended up dying on me, but it also could have been a bad injector as only one piston was like that, all the others were fine.

i had 6 f**ked ringlands in mine, and the funny thing was it idled nice and drove nicely too. it was just boosting it over 4.5k and out came the massive smoke clouds and a full catch can of oil :)

oh man, this sounds like what my cars doing but my car idles lumpy and abit all over the place but drives alright but massive clouds of black smoke between gears under boost

was it one of the back cylinders......#6 tends to run on the lean side on RB's apparently......plenum design or something similar I believe

fecked turbo would cause white smoke, correct?

thats only if the oil seal is broken, ive seen a few exhaust wheels come off, just causes the fuel ratios to go to shit. aka black smoke

have you tried another stock bov at all?

hopefiully you used decent metal gaskets for the mani to block and mani to turbs areas

Love all the speculation!!

It's at morpowa and I am sure they will find the problem for you!

I really hope it's not internally :D But with this sort of issue can be alot of things as mentioned above :cool:

Good Luck!!

yeah we used metal gaskets.

just got a call from simon, he is also stumped, last i heard, he was gonna check AFM.

i think dan is onto something with the exhaust wheel coming off.....that would explain the bad boosting sound

and bad afr...........

just got another call from simon

he found a split in an intercooler pipe, he just replaced it and bout to run the dyno.

*punches self in face, why didnt i check it properly, f**k head*

    • (it is a brand new ported mellings pump) I suspect the lack of pressure is due to the leak. It was *not* that low in other logs of oil pressure in the past. It wasn't that hot either, but not far off.
    • Would a Mellings oil pump be a viable option  From my time with a LS, and talking to tuners and LS specialists, the "weak" OEM oil pump is one of the first things they recommend to swap out if I was going to give the engine any high RPM I opted for a Mellings high volume, with the high pressure springs and I never had a issue with it Cost wise they are not expensive in the scheme of things 
    • Just bought a 2002 Stagea 250tRS VR-X Four AERO VQ25DET and spent the last two weekends cleaning and detailing it.. still have to do the wheels and the engine bay but the rest of it came up nice. Imported 2011 to S.A. and I'm the third owner since it was imported. I met the guy who brought it over, he went to Japan and picked out the car, bought it and ordered the wheels. He also gave me a list of stuff he did to the car with receipts. Coil overs (I have the original springs), 3" exhaust from the dump pipe back no cat, Custom dump pipe,(I have the original exhaust), Plenum spacer, 18" custom Work XSA wheels (need restoring, I've made a start..), Shift kit put through the 5 speed tiptronic auto, TV and menus/screens changed to english, Australian DTV tuner installed in rear. I've just had four new discs and new pads as well as all the fluids including the brake fluid replaced. I have all the receipts for the last 15 years and the import papers in a nice folder. Car looks great, goes like hell but fuel economy is not a thing lol.. pics next..
    • I ended up in this rut again lol, and used a shit ton of filler. One thing I can't understand is, even after using a big long block and going in long X pattern strokes, I always end up at bare metal again with no filler, and my repair started at one end of the door and now I've chased my tail to almost the other end of the door. I was thinking of hitting the panel with a hammer where it might be a high spot and making everything low then filling it, I did this on a small section on my other door by mistake and I think I fixed it lol. Is this a bad idea? The other thing is with guidecoat, whether it's the powder or spray, after I sand all the guide coat off, it doesn't reveal anything for me in terms of high spots and low spots and makes it especially hard when it's bare metal (at least in powdered form), am I doing something wrong here, or likely a high spot I keep going over and creating valleys? Lastly, stupid question but, is it possible that after sanding if I only sand over the filler area where I know to be a dent that it's impossible for me to dig into that dent? Unless there are other problems which I missed.
