haha yep....these things always take waaaaaaaay longer than you expect

Yeah...stupid cars!!!

in other news the car now has a great big bloody towel rack bolted to the boot...ill get some pics tomorrow, and my manifold gaskets should turn up tomorrow...so hopefully it will be running again on the weekend :D

I'm liking this VERY MUCH!

Let me know how you find the new turbo, as I want to pull my turbo + mani off soon and replace it with a bit of a smaller turbo, purely to bring boost on sooner... Thinking a GT3076 or GT3540... (On the 3L)

That's if it holds together on Thursday!

Going to use the 25det head ive already go.

not going to do much to it, just clean the ports up and whack in some new stiffer valve springs.

1... Throw that idea in the bin.

2... Sell me your 25 head and forward facing plenum.

3... You go buy a 26dett head.

4...

5... No profit, but lots of win...

As for my turdbro...

nah i wish lol

they are just cast replacments from precision, i just like cleaning every thing up, as rough edges are more prone to breakage than smooth ones, just have to careful not to take too much weight off a single piston compared to the rest.

yeah, its somthing to consider, but changinf to a 26 head would be a $5k + exersize, by the time i buy a head, turbo's, dump pipes, new injectors etc etc.

So im happy to stick with the 25 head and pay a few bucks to have the water gallery welded up and delete VCT

you know that a 26 head is an easier fit. no block mods needed

Actually, the 26 head needs the head studs tapped out bigger in the block.

The 25 requires a touch of weld and hey presto, bobs your uncle.

    • Yes, I know🙄 but the sequential is not in my budget... don't want to reduce power neither, so looks like I'm stuck in the rabbit hole🤣
    • You’ll be very upset when you bust that too not to mention the gearing totally sucks. Don’t do it.
    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
