Morning Mangs,

Site managers first day on holidays so I've spent the first 2 hours photoshopping random pictures for the site foreman lol. I should probably do some work though...maybe.

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

Mangs,

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

    • Like others have said, drop the power to give your drivetrain a % of reliability until you can up the drivetrain reliability  It isn't rocket science, build power to the weakest link with a % of safety Whilst upping the the reliability of the drive train is costly, there's no point in having the engine make big power if it keeps eating the drivetrain....ask me how I know, I had the tow truck on speed dial for a few years, and I spent huge amounts of money fixing issues and breakages that really would have been cheaper in the long run if I did it right the first time Me, I like a nice sized fudge factor, that keeps me off the tow truck
    • I don't understand what the issue is with, turn the boost down and start saving $$.  As soon as you can afford the supporting mods, turn the boost back up.  If the car is running fine, enjoy it. Turning the boost down isn't going to kill you. 
    • That is surely the biggest gathering of Stageas in North America, ever!

    • I know people cry at the price of the Getrag 12-14k for a conversion now, but it really is a nice mid point. Not going to get change from 10k on a gearset installed.  $30k++ for sequential.   I know you run the risk of a damaged used one and parts are hard to get but as a street car gearbox its really hard to beat. If you enjoy a more traditional manual, its the choice no question.
