its hiflowed, it has larger wheels and clearly a bored-out housing for both compressor and turbine.

i like how they clean them up and make them look like new!!

Ok so it's a refurbished stock one and not a completely new one. .

yup! but it will be just like a brand new one as its got new bearings, new wheels, new centre as well (i think that is the oil and water channels) and the housings have been bored and cleaned out. its not a new turbo, but its a new turbo.

looks the goods Danny....also noticed your exhaust impeller has one more fin than mine......might help it boost up quicker.

LOL I like the fact that you counted the fins. . . Do you have Turbo Fin envy. . . . ha ha ha

How's your tubo cranking these days anyway ? Had it on the dyno yet? I've been a slacker and haven't had a tune yet.

now the dump pipe is on it's pretty awesome......Haltech will go on as soon as Rudd gives me my tax return back.

Sounds good, you have to let us know what power she is making. I put a walbro into mine and now it seems to be runnung alot better, had some funny issues with the fuel pump wiring. All good now. Waiting to do my tax to finish off my suspension. Put new bushes and compression rods in the front drives heaps better now. Let us know how the Haltech goes. :angry:

    • Your other option is to buy a spray can of hi-fill and prime it with some pinholes. See if the primer makes them disappear. If it does, then you can leave it with pinholes of that size and they will go away when the painter takes over.
    • Ah ok. I seem to be mixing it like everyone else does so not sure what's happening. Will experiment with it more.
    • Depends on what you mean by OK. First up, was this done cold or hot? Are they reasonably consistent? Yes, they are reasonably consistent. Could be better. But unless it has had a build at some point, it is a ~30 year old engine and you'd expect some variation. Some of the difference could also be in user technique Is it good compression? Well....not numerically, no. New they were >160 psi. The one at 140 would be fine, in that context. If they were all ~140, you'd be reasonably happy. But the one that is @120 is twice as far down from the original numbers as the one @ 140. But.. (again)... technique can play a part in the absolute magnitude of these numbers, and the quality/state of repair/accuracy of the pressure gauge is not known. In the context of the above, the compression tester that was used last on my car is regularly compared to a known good pressure gauge. Not calibrated, exactly, but compared to a reference instrument that is not used for any other purpose, so cops no abuse. So we can trust the measurements off that tester. But another tester in the same workshop wasn't being compared against the standard and was reading a good 30ish psi lower. When you're reading 100 psu but the engine is really doing 130, you can make bad decisions.
    • More likely from tiny bubbles in the filler/putty. Maybe be less aggressive when mixing it. Perhaps invest in a vacuum chamber to pull the air bubbles out?** **I don't know if this is a thing for body filler. I see hardcore epoxy makers degassing their mixed resin on the regular.
    • IIRC, the speedo on these is fed from the sensor in/on the snout of the diff.
