merry christmas all. after the last couple of days, it doesnt feel like it. feeling for the 10 odd families who lost everything in the fire on wednesday at pt lincoln. flew out wed nite, and returned last nite to help the guys from the ETSA depot over there get power back on. some seriously lucky people, and some seriously unlucky people too

Merry Xmas all.

I'm looking at buying tomei sump baffles and a oil restrictor for the 26. Anyone here knows how to fit them? Does the head need to come off to fit the restrictor?

If I could watch someone fit them or someone over looks me and tells me how to do it, that would be awesome.

Cheers.

Head needs to come off to fit the restrictor

How much are you able to get the sump baffles for, and have you got the tomei head baffles already? I'd be doing the head baffles first esp if the head has to come off to fit the restrictor...

dont actually have to remove the head to do the head baffels, just the covers... and its mines that does the head baffels (haven't seen tomei ones)

yep thats sounds a bit more correct...mines... luke can ya get a GB price for those perchance? :D

I'll have a look at prices when I get home from crissy lunch and dinner. Thing is, instead of me just giving someone the motor and saying fit these I would like to be shown/ taught how to fit them.

iirc the restrictor goes into the top oil feed (only 1) and its hammered in just like a welch plug

the sump baffle gets welded in

the head baffle screws into the cam covers

Have you looked at the hi octane sumps? They look like a serious bit of kit and will be what I go for when I build my motor. Some nice internal gating/baffling too

I need some help. I think I've got an inlet leak.

If I rev the engine up and release the throttle , it stalls. But if I take it easy it's fine :D

I'm thinking it's the inlet manifold gasket ?

Any ideas on how to be sure ?

    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
    • I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt 
    • So M12 and sealant should be fine?    NPT ” because that’s what I had and what I could get atm. 
    • Wouldn’t touch par if they gave it to me. You need to ask how much power you’re looking to make and then add about 50% to it because that’s what you’ll end up making  The factory box says no more at about 350kw or so, the upgraded synchro boxes won’t handle much over 500kw for long and at that point you’re looking at an auto or dog engagement manual,  once you’ve gone dog engagement you may as well go sequential, they cost a little bit more but it’s worth it  also while you’re at it you should upgrade the transfer case with 10 friction plates
