New studs in (had to clean up the nuts with a tap as they were binding on the new studs), cometic exhaust gasket on

and new turbo gaskets on and lines hooked up

Time to head home and finish a job application and come back tomorrow and fill it with fresh oil and coolant, hook up the dump pipe and exhaust and start it to check for leaks.

Thanks man. The R32 actuator i got off you points a different way to the 34 one so ill have to take over some tomorrow.

So much evidence of exhaust leaking from the turbo flange and some of the manifold nuts were finger tight.
I imagine my exhaust will be much louder now :P

There is something weird going on with the stock boost control solenoid.

One of the hoses(top one i think) is blocked off with a screw and the bottom one runs to the air recirculation pipes. No ideas what's going on there :S

I'll work out which wire i need to earth tomorrow as well.

You don't want to earth it do you?

If plumbed in with the 32 actuator you'll get 12 + psi.

Just a hose from the turbo nipple to the actuator will give 10psi.

Take the solenoid out.

Wasn't there intact...it was lots of small pieces. Looking at the other blades it looks like it came off bounced around the other fins got chopped into little bits and the rest turned to dust. from what i could see anyway...i might take the cat off tomorrow bang it on the ground and make sure.

got my alarm fob working!! Now have 2 that work.. wish I knew it was so easy before..

also got new keys cut =)

its the little things..

oh, made a cardboard template for pod box just to see what I'm making and I rekon i'll just buy one. By the time I buy tools etc it will be about the same price and a lot less hassle.

What do you want from it? If stock boost, do the Free High Boost Mod first. 7psi all the time. :thumbsup:

Haha yea :) the guy before me blew the turbo. So he replaced it and had it running 12 psi.. He took the boost tee :( buy hay I'm only on my ls.. I don't need huge power from the girl !

I'm going to sound like an idiot. Haven't read through the whole thing yet aha. Where is the solenoid :/

In robs first pic the top boost line has been cut and clamped and the black wire has already been earthed. But I haven't seen it hit 6psi

    • Surely somebody has one in VIC. Have you asked at any shops?  Is this the yearly inspection or did you get a canary?
    • This is where I share pain with you, @Duncan. The move to change so many cooling system pieces to plastic is a killer! Plastic end tanks and a few plastic hose flanges on my car's fail after so little time.  Curious about the need for a bigger rad, is that just for long sessions in the summer or because the car generally needs more cooling?
    • So, that is it! It is a pretty expensive process with the ATF costing 50-100 per 5 litres, and a mechanic will probably charge plenty because they don't want to do it. Still, considering how dirty my fluid was at 120,000klm I think it would be worth doing more like every 80,000 to keep the trans happy, they are very expensive to replace. The job is not that hard if you have the specialist tools so you can save a bit of money and do it yourself!
    • OK, onto filling. So I don't really have any pics, but will describe the process as best I can. The USDM workshop manual also covers it from TM-285 onwards. First, make sure the drain plug (17mm) is snug. Not too tight yet because it is coming off again. Note it does have a copper washer that you could replace or anneal (heat up with a blow torch) to seal nicely. Remove the fill plug, which has an inhex (I think it was 6mm but didn't check). Then, screw in the fill fitting, making sure it has a suitable o-ring (mine came without but I think it is meant to be supplied). It is important that you only screw it in hand tight. I didn't get a good pic of it, but the fill plug leads to a tube about 70mm long inside the transmission. This sets the factory level for fluid in the trans (above the join line for the pan!) and will take about 3l to fill. You then need to connect your fluid pump to the fitting via a hose, and pump in whatever amount of fluid you removed (maybe 3 litres, in my case 7 litres). If you put in more than 3l, it will spill out when you remove the fitting, so do quickly and with a drain pan underneath. Once you have pumped in the required amount of clean ATF, you start the engine and run it for 3 minutes to let the fluid circulate. Don't run it longer and if possible check the fluid temp is under 40oC (Ecutek shows Auto Trans Fluid temp now, or you could use an infrared temp gun on the bottom of the pan). The manual stresses the bit about fluid temperature because it expands when hot an might result in an underfil. So from here, the factory manual says to do the "spill and fill" again, and I did. That is, put an oil pan under the drain plug and undo it with a 17mm spanner, then watch your expensive fluid fall back out again, you should get about 3 litres.  Then, put the drain plug back in, pump 3 litres back in through the fill plug with the fitting and pump, disconnect the fill fitting and replace the fill plug, start the car and run for another 3 minutes (making sure the temp is still under 40oC). The manual then asks for a 3rd "spill and fill" just like above. I also did that and so had put 13l in by now.  This time they want you to keep the engine running and run the transmission through R and D (I hope the wheels are still off the ground!) for a while, and allow the trans temp to get to 40oC, then engine off. Finally, back under the car and undo the fill plug to let the overfill drain out; it will stop running when fluid is at the top of the levelling tube. According to the factory, that is job done! Post that, I reconnected the fill fitting and pumped in an extra 0.5l. AMS says 1.5l overfill is safe, but I started with less to see how it goes, I will add another 1.0 litres later if I'm still not happy with the hot shifts.
    • OK, so regardless of whether you did Step 1 - Spill Step 2 - Trans pan removal Step 3 - TCM removal we are on to the clean and refill. First, have a good look at the oil pan. While you might see dirty oil and some carbony build up (I did), what you don't want to see is any metal particles on the magnets, or sparkles in the oil (thankfully not). Give it all a good clean, particularly the magnets, and put the new gasket on if you have one (or, just cross your fingers) Replacement of the Valve body (if you removed it) is the "reverse of assembly". Thread the electrical socket back up through the trans case, hold the valve body up and put in the bolts you removed, with the correct lengths in the correct locations Torque for the bolts in 8Nm only so I hope you have that torque wrench handy (it feels really loose). Plug the output speed sensor back in and clip the wiring into the 2 clips, replace the spring clip on the TCM socket and plug it back into the car loom. For the pan, the workshop manual states the following order: Again, the torque is 8Nm only.
