I've had a cooler pipe come off before and i could only drive at walking speed. I drove the car home like normal, it rev'd to 4000rpm no prob, just takes ages to get there. It was blowing some smoke higher in the revs so I'll have a good look at it 2moro and see if anything has come off.

can still be a leaking hose

Hey Jenkies how are u mate?

Just letting u know if u dont already, but my engine was getting stuck on the front diff shaft, what u need to do is open the front diff housing, in the middle there a 4 splines which rotate around, u need to put a lever bar in there and a slight tap will pop the shaft out.

This got me stuck for a good 3hrs.

Hey Luke (and Jenkies)

You don't need to remove the front diff housing - with a couple of lever bars / big flat head screwdrivers you can pop the shaft out in no time at all........saying that well done for succeeding anyway!! Never give up I say!

Cheers,

Andrew

I don't think that the turbo is dead chad. If it was dead it would be showing Vac all the time and wouldn't get to 0 as it's actually producing boost to get to 0.

Took it for a drive just before and it was blowing white smoke like a train.

RB20's are tough little luggers, mine has between 80 and 92PSI on ALL 6, and it has oil in the water, but it still pulled quite a decent figure a couple of weeks ago..

and it blows smoke too..

and I found out my RB25 is still probably a month away :D the place in Japan (not Streeter, the original seller) forgot to tell anyone that thier forklift broke :P

i do, loving every second, we might actually pull off a win

Aussie's will most likely loose this test match and damn right they should....a poor first innings performance by them see Pakistan in a easy position to take a win...currently 3/65 and only needing 176, which i think that they will comfortable get....

will make an exciting third test :(

Way ahead of ya mate, going to pick up that turbo tonight :(

Not that keen to pay $2000 on a set of rims for a drift hack.

Also does anyone have an RB20 that i can have a look at so i can work out where the water lines on the turbo go to? or take some pics? My current turbs has no water lines so i need to find out where to hook some up.

they all in shape Chad, all you have to do is line them up, its near impossible to get mixed up lol

Thing is i dont have any water lines. I'll have to buy some rb25 ones instead. I have noticed that on the block there in a hard line coming off of the block and one coming from behind the engine and they are joined with rubber hose. im thinking these are the old lines cut and joined?

maybe i can cut the new lines and just join them to the old ones.

    • When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?
