Added to the Steady growing stock pile

Purchased a 2nd hand Turbo via import Monster for a high flow upgrade, to prepare for the inevitable ceramic wheel failure.... (78000kms current)

Purchased the new Greddy Profec boost controller threw just jap (its been annoying watching the gauge and feeling the factory boost settings dropping of back to 7-9psi.)

Looking forward to installing all at once

Oil and filter this weekend, first car I have owned in which i changed oil on time instead of kays.

Used to doing 30+k a year, new job, new (old) car which wifey & young daughter get shaken up and now I'll be lucky if a crack 10k a year.

On the down side, found a ruined drivers inner CV boot and probably a dead breather in the gbox, I have a smurf bood dribble down the box...

Explains the gearbox oil smell after it gets a few revs.

Pain in the A though.

Nice! If you dont mind me asking - how much did the turbo set you back?

I installed my aux cable to the TV tuner on the weekend and replaced a few cracked vac hoses - not much, but its something!

The last Hypergear turbo took a month, as Tao was in China. It's a very good idea if you can get one, although you will never get that sort of money back for them over here, not unless they are running perfectly.

Perhaps I can loan my spare out for a small fee? I would love to have a highflow on the shelf to help customers out, but I can't justify having $1300 tied up in a turbo sitting in the garage.

My mechanic relearned the throttle body. What a missiin that was. No body touch your throttle body (besides craig). I was unaware before and now after going through the mishap wouldnt recommend it to anyone. On a lighter not received the oem hids that I will be installing this week.

It is a bit of an epic if you don't get the timing of each step right, but a bit of practice gets it done.

You'll like the HID's. ;)

      Blue/grey smoke after idle

      By Duncan · Posted

      I don't know, I've never done it that way, but 1. While it is an interference engine, there is still clearance between the valves and the piston at all points in the regular timing cycle 2. There is not a lot of distance before you can't catch the top of the valve stem any more I don't know if 2 is greater or less than 1. But 3. If it doesn't work out you are f**ked, engine is coming out to disassemble so it is a big bet.

      Semi slicks are horrible for road use, just use a high performance road tyre unless you really need the maximum grip. Noisy, unpredictable (amazing, until they are not), expensive due to very high wear and not good in cold and particular wet. And yes, it is a thing to store cars on stands instead of tyres if you know they are going to be parked up long term.....but who ever realises that a short park is going to stretch into years before it is out again!

      I know in Australia you'll definitely get above 30c. Parked in the shade in Summer you'll be above that. 😛 But in cooler climates, you might get that warm driving on the highway for a bit, but you'd never get to full heat temp. I'll try and find some of my historical tyre temps between Aus summer and winter (be aware immin the warmer area of Aus too.)

      I get that taking off the head is best but that's a bit much for "just" valve seals. I was just under the impression that one would be able to rotate to TDC and be able to temporarily drop the valve without losing it and effectively having to remove the head to then recover it. I never knew people actually pushed rope into the cylinder to do valve seals hahaha So just to confirm, just going to TDC will not work? In that case I know when I do valve seals I'll maybe just remove the head and do some other things while I'm there, or just wait until I do an engine build.
