Piglet's Rebuild Of His Busted Tomei 2.8

[The Bogan]

We have oil pressure. All 10 bars of it.

MLR was here.

Regulator ?

Like mine ?

We could be like brothers that look nothing like each other but have the same demon pressure oil pumps.

.......

Haha. The old tomei issue. Here we go. Might have to turn it back a bit. 10 bar at 1500 rpm. Bearings would need some scuba gear!!!

[Deano 1]

Every time I hear about the tomei pumps making stupid pressure I get scared to use my one

[The Bogan]

Even on the lowest stetting I was still getting around 130psi (9 bar) from it, thats why I had to get the regulator installed which bleeds of the extra pressure with a return line to the sump..

Now it sits at around 100 psi (7 bar) @ 7000rpm, seems fine, at least I hope that it is, quite a few track days and some drag racing later and the bearings are still where they are meant to be anyway.

Anyone know what the max psi that should be run ????

On a side note Im heading out to UNIGROUP this arvo to pick up a new 1mm restrictor, if your cars running and you need me to do some rev limiter bashing hellies in it just let me know......

Major hiccup. Oil feed thread to rear turbo is stripped. Got to ring gcg on Monday and see if they have a -5 core or its a new turbo. Still gonna try and make it by Thursday. "Run in" might be at Wakefield at this rate.

Don't have time to dick around with fabrication and waiting for parts. I also want a back to back with this head and cam combo.

The turbo is sitting on a desk at Unigroup.

When you trial single let me know what you are doing with your twin setup. I know someone looking for all the fluff needed for going to a twin street setup

You want twin -5's on your car Troy?

The new RH9 alternator. 85 amp oem vs 130 amp RH9 alt. Definitely cant hurt when running 3 044's plus gauges, all sorts of controllers and a half decent amount of grunt.

[fatz]
