s15's are ok stock... otherwise they love to shit diffs and gearboxesif you get too excited which is not a good thing.

at least the 6.5 won't break as easy and still make 200-220awkw on a factory turbo and ecu!

cheap, fast, reliable.

they don't sound like the a RB though...

ive just sold my houses so to not go over board ive set my limit to 20k just so i dont have to borrow as much on my next property purchase. if i spend 10k more on a car then thats 10k ill have less for a deposit, 10k less in equity for a construction loan etc etc...

i'd stretch it to 25 if it was a car that i saw to be an absolute dream. other than that its 20.

for example, if i saw an evo7 pushing 250kw, built motor, ecu etc etc etc... i will spend more - it just needs to be CLEAN.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      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.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
