Nice triple post Artz ya spammer now you only have to put up with my internet he said she said for the rest of this week mate till I get Jez to my workshop and under the bonnet of my car this Saturday hahaha :nyaanyaa:

Even MTQ didnt know anything bout that sonic housing other than that it wasnt a AVO housing and that they are made by Mtq in adelaide apparently?????

Yeah i got cold feet from all the negative feedback bout these housings Artz and took everybodies advice...................... EVENTUALLY anyways :whistling:

damnit..I was actually more interested to see the result with the sonic housing..

Oh well..good luck with it :)

:yes: Yeah for sure Andy my workshop is in Londonderry and we got a fair bit of work ahead of us so well be around a while id say haha is a turbo, injectors ,Z32,oil change,cam gears and timing belt then possibly drain the 98 out and put E85 in and retune possible in 1 day :wacko: ? Lol I wouldnt have a clue cos ive never done it before except for an oil change anyways! Doesnt sound possible to me :blink:

yeah you wont regret it thats for sure...I was just really interested to see what it would do :/

chances are it wouldnt have made 300kw on pulp..but it would be a solid perfprmer regardless.

.

The thing I dont undestand is why do these companies keep selling these housings if they have been proven not to work?

i mean is the market for a housing that bolts on to a shitty stock dump pipe but doesnt perform really that big to justify their continued production...?

Just seems there is a lot of heresay and dyno evidence of them not performing so well but how much worse do they actually perform in comparison on the road...is there half a second in it on a drag strip or .1...

i would really like to know.. :unsure:

Yeah i agree mate but i didnt really wanna be the guinea pig with this housing. If it was a .75 like they are saying it woulda been responsive and still make decent numbers too and filled the void between the .63 and the .82 with what i have now is a proven recipe i guess so i thought i wouldnt change the recipe and hopefully get the most outta my ride that i can with all the hard earnt ive thrown at it :thumbsup:

No one says they don't work. The issue is that they seem to choke >450hp compressors. If Mick wanted to buy a GT3071 with this type of housing then I would expect it to work quite well. Once you move into the next size up there is a risk that you pay the premium for the sexy compressor and get the performance of something smaller (and cheaper) anyway.

yes well if your paying someone to install you made the right decision...last thing you want is to fork out for another days labour to swap it when it didnt work..

See Im a spanner man, I would of done all the labour myself so the loss isnt so great... ;)

and yes turbo swap and servise in a day is possible..im a muppet with a bag f tools and I can do it in my carport.

So should be a no brainer for Jez.

Im a plumber/boilermaker by trade mate i reckon i woulda stumbled through it ok even tho i havent done it before but ive spent too much coin on parts so im gunna b doin a crash course with jez n learn the tricks of the trade cos ill only need to be shown once to get my shit together :) haha

    • Hey keep the ideas coming, I'm always keen on projects! But, problem fixed!  I got a cheapie ozito scope from Bunnings and had a good look in and around the bearing and sensor hole. I couldn't see a smoking gun but the bearing looked a bit strange, especially when comparing with a new one. I thought the cover had come off the bearing magnets.  Sorry for pics of a screen, I didn't have an SD card.     Good thing I had the old one to inspect. So, given I'm like a pit crew with wheel bearings and luckily I had a spare bearing because I f**ked up my parts order, I decided to just smash it out. Got the old one out in about an hour. So much easier when the parts haven't had a chance to rust together yet. 😂 And, well, found the problem.    In the second pic at about the 8 o'clock position, you'll see what I think is the tip of the old sensor.  The new sensor has definitely been rubbing but it's all intact, just a little shiny so I'm hoping it's fine.  The car brakes perfectly now and no errors.  I think the job took about 2.5h in the end. 👍🏻 I really appreciate the help in here as usual. Thanks guys.
    • I was only looking because I saw some drops on the ground but it wasn't alot. Recently had it serviced will ask the mech to confirm. Find it strange that it looks standard though, can see in another photo of a random box 
    • So...not sure if you know if that has always been there or why you went looking. It could be old damage from a clutch explosion, or even just the gearbox got dropped somewhere along the line. Basically, you should seal it up to stop oil and dust getting into the bellhousing, but it doesn't matter too much and is not structural. I'd suggest something like a glob of JB Weld. BTW what gearbox oil are you running, I would guess the breather has been spewing it everywhere.
    • Hey Duncan thanks for your reply. Sorry mate I know the photos are shit.  Took another photo for reference. Seems the casing does have a hole in it looking on the net, fluid seeping out. Added a photo   
    • Very hard to make out what you mean, is it the squarish hole with redline shockproof (probably) under it? Is that pic from on top of the engine with the firewall to the left of pic and engine to the right? Either way, spray the area liberally with degreaser and try again, maybe circle the part you are worried about
