dude after doing an engine swap after having a big end go there are a f load of hoses you wont even realise are vaccume lines, two of which are hard up against the fire wall and there is no way in hell you can do them without pulling the motor out

i wouldnt mind hearing the issue your having cause it sounded like at first the problem mine had which was the alternator had gone so the car would get absolutly no power and ran rough as hell. but if its still starting then i guess that's not the issue other wise your battery would be dead by now

Starts after a few engine turns but then sounds like it's gonna stall. There is also quite a loud tappetty sounding ticking noise that I don't remember coming out of the engine bay.. I have the manual including the vacuum setup and as you say, there are two I can't even really see.

What do you all recommend?

I'm going to check the vac lines I can get to and with any luck i'll find an easily accessible leak that'll solve my immediate problem so I can get it to a 100k service. :)

Nak, I'm totally free this arvo if your close by and it's not too much trouble. It'd be good to get another persons take on it before I go back to work.

My poor car hasn't moved in a few weeks now. :(

Had the same problem. Except mine was slightly worse. Haha had a head gasket go. Instead of getting a new top end with a shit bottom end and a load of kms still I jus thought ill buy a new motor all together.

      My theory would revolve around the ~4000rpm point being peak torque territory on an RB, where you're supposed to be looking at max efficiency of the head, etc, and....just not having it because the skinny ports are doing something to f**k it up. I'll admit, it's a loose theory.

      It could be in the tune but in both cases it couldn't be completely solved or eliminated by some of the best tuners in victoria so I'm DOUBTFUL that it's in the tune or ECU but stranger things have happened of course. I've pondered that theory too but is there any theories that thinner and smaller ports overall would cause a turbo to spike? I would've thought it would just restrict it in general if it was small enough to make a difference. I wouldn't expect it to make a different at what is essentially sub 300kw at 4000rpm anyway. I think the next step is going to have to be the 6psi spring to rule out the idea that the gate is cracking open far too wide initially. At least that is the cheapest (free) thing to check initially.

      I'm thinking it is skinny NA Neo port sizing and cams. Somehow.

      -5’s did it. 8474 did it. Not hot side related. ECU related? 🤨🤪

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      By silviaz · Posted

      Above you mentioned you only need to sand primer if there's an issue with it but with fillers it says the surface needs to be sanded to X grit beforehand. Does that sorta contradict that point as the primer hasn't been sanded yet? At the same time if I sand the primer, there's a good chance I'll expose the bare metal and I'm just chasing my tail at that point. Or I'll just use a sand sponge instead of sandpaper, it seems to be far finer in terms of abrasiveness as opposed to sandpaper. From what I understand, filler is like primer and needs scratches from the sandpaper to help it adhere to the panel. I realised the way I'm doing things is actually a bit counter productive as there's a chance after I put filler I will need to put epoxy primer again as opposed to putting the filler first and potentially no primer if I don't go to bare metal. Will keep this in my mind for the rest of my repairs.
