Morning Mangs,

Morning Fellows! Hows it all going? Hopefully chucking the new brakes on my car on Saturday or Sunday, been ages since i have done any spanner work. Looking forward to it! Even if it is an easy job lol

Playing COD

Busy day, so will get back to it.

As you were

WTF I pressurised my intake system again... all my piping seems fine. It seems like there's an air leak somewhere around the rear of the motor, on the turbo side, kind of around the back corner of the rocker cover. One of the screws there was half a turn loose so tightened that but realllllllly doubt that was the problem. I already packed up the compressor etc so I didn't check again but I doubt it did anything.

What other pipes run around the back of the motor that carry pressurised intake air??

Anyone have any opinions on this?

Yes I do

But I am looking at a BMW 535i, So if you have one of those it would be great!

well if you look at the cars i sell front on and they are in silhoutte then we would be close

It's F*cked.

:P

Sorry, pretty hard to have a guess at what's wrong over the interwebs.

The only hose that carries air towards the back of the motor should be the feed for the idle control motor... can't remember if this is pressurised or not, I think it comes of the J pipe though so I would guess yes.

My money is still on exhaust leak before the turbo or wastegate stuck open.

Andy,

Our garage is empty enough now, if you want to start to use your garage for your car instead of storage.

Cool, You around on saturday? Might get it towed then? PM me your adress and I will start ringing towies!

I thought wastegate stuck open as well. But then again I don't have a big idea of this sorta thing.

Just realised new sau layout is mobile friendly. Yay.

Anyone have any opinions on this?

Tappet cover gaskets will leak like a bitch when thos screws get loose (Which they always are) Tighten all the screws and go from there. My R33 has lots of leaks from that area and when i fixed it all up the car was much better behaved, Of course your gasket may be rooted too but try tightening everything first

    • Unsolicited advice? Keep the engine as close to stock as you can. Nothing wrong with adding some boost and making a little more power, but given where you are, you really don't want to try to make it into a monster. I can't imagine the roads are up to it, and the lack of locla support when it grenades will be a ball ache. FWIW, If there is a dyno around that you can access, then brand new injectors are a good idea, which will lead you to (at least) putting a Nistune in it, which will allow you to put an R35 AFM on it, all of which will make it possible to make it much much nicer to drive and live with.
    • List all of your mods. It sounds like an aftermarket ECU hitting rev limiter. Like a valet mode, or a cold rpm limiter? 
    • @Kapr Haha yeah thats the one. I missed that you had a built up engine, I wouldn't want to run it on there either then. It was good in my situation just to replace the original turbo on a stock engine. @MBS206Yep definitely not a replacement for anything name brand
    • You are selling this? I have never bought something from marketplace...i dont know if i trust that enough. And the price is little bit "too" good...
