Small update.... ITS RUNNING. Fired first go! Smells like burnt dust apparently .

A 9174 would just make the EGP pressure issue worse and in my mind it seems like a bit of a GT RS shit going on. Not that it's horrendously bad (It wouldn't be no twin buttplug pressures), That's NOT

Why did you build a 2.8 and use an n1 pump haha, was lucky you made it that long without letting go!

I bought the car off a mate like that. That engine was built in 2005. It was always the one thing that I was worried about.

And I kept telling ya I had a tomei one under the bed with your name on it whenever you wanted it.

On a serious note, could the damage to the box have been done previously (pre this engine rebuild) when possibly the owner gave the car a bit of hiding now and again.

I'm talking possible microscopic stress fractures that may not have been visible during the boxes recent rebuild and with the new sandwich plate and diffs maybe no torsional give, well something gave.

Maybe time to pull that black carbon giant dildo out again that could help with torsional loading ???

Whats the damage diagnosis ?

Marcus, I built this box about 5 years ago when I smashed the OEM box. That was a shock loading through my own fault.

That big dildo is long gone. Stupid POS!

Need to get it out and inspect. If (hoping) the gearset has survived (not liking my chances) ill put new bearings through it and whatever has failed then screw it back together, but from what Terry has said, it's a shock loading more than likely. When I did it, I'm not sure.

Not sure when I'll get to it with Xmas and shit coming up. The plan is ill wash it and drain the E85 out of it and flush with some 98. The car ain't going anywhere so ill just take my time.

      thanks for the advice on the box... i was thinking the 6 speed was better for cruising on the highway but on closer inspection and comparison the Rb 5 speed box was not too different...  So the choice is going to be the RB25 box... if I can save up and find one at the right price

      Thanks Matt, yes that's what i am aiming for. Just going to apply the right voltage and grounds to the dash connector. Hence my search for these pins... any chance you know if these pins are in the same spot as the ones on the S15 Dash connector? as mentioned above on page 8?

      Yes, unfortunately that's the one. Signal was noisy to begin with; after driving once and looking back at the logs I saw pressure constantly swinging between 0-200psi, or staying at 0 randomly for a few seconds. There's a lot of good sensors that share the same look and feel, so don't presume they're all bad. I bought mine for 20$ off Amazon and I should have read the reviews prior, as it's clear they're junk.  I purchased a lowdollerr motorsports sensor.
