Why do you want an enclosed pod? Standard cold air feed does a fine job of keeping things cool, even with an open pod setup. And if the enclosed is for legal reasons, well that goes right out the window when you cut holes for FMIC or have two intake mods. Return flows are plenty for any usable amount of power on the street.

So a drive a Portsea today and my oil temp is this :/

Ambient temp outside was about 27

Just did an oil change of Motul 8100 5w 40 Fully synthetic

Should I be worried? What are the consequences of a really hot oil temp?

Jesus, that's high.

5w40 is bit too thin for weather like today.

Thought we told you to put 10/50 or 10/60?

I was but then someone else said my oil might be dirty... Next oil change I will do it.

Would painting my intercooler black be attributing to this? I'm thinking that's the only change I've done since I've noticed increased oil temps :/

I'm super lazy so I bought a KCI ezy wrench from autobarn today; best $99 I've spent on the car.

Instead of wasting minutes loosening and tightening the wheel nuts - it can be done within seconds; LITERALLY.

Highly recommend it, bitches. Plugs into your cigarette lighter or your battery terminals and comes with everything you need to getting those wheels off fast. Fk yeah!

    • 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!
    • 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
