Hey Guys,

I need some TIG welding done on my turbo compressor outlet pipe for a BOV fitting. Nothing too heavy but the pipes alloy so finding someone with a TIG to do the work has proved harder than expected. Ive been to a few zorst shops but all of them so far have not had a TIG, and have suggested taking it to a machine shope or engineering firm, pfft as if, the would charge me two arms a leg and a kidney.

So i was wondering if anyone here can either suggest a zorst shop to do it (i havnt tried Morley Quik Fit yet) or if someone here has access to a TIG and can do it id prefer to pay them

Thanks

    • If your head gasket lifted, you should have seen a coolant pressure spike. There's no need for a copper gasket/fire rings at 30psi. An MLS with perfectly clean/flat mating surfaces should suffice. 
    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
