Mugabetown - Whoretownin' At It's Worst.

Sup Y'all?

I've been hiding... Busy working too much, getting a house built, planning weddings... The usual time consuming stuff...

Damn work made me miss pork knuckle :( It's been a whole 4 days since my last pork knuckle :( But that one was at Barvarian Bier Cafe not Z german club...

No more like.... *Marp marp marp marp marp crush grind ping knock knock knock knock*

This was more along the lines of it.. it was telling a lot of poor knock knock jokes till it was no more. Driving it home in 5 cylinders didn't help either

u need to get it checked out man. I think it's internal sadly :(

sigh... ill keep looking for something. might try and do a comp test and check for leaks this weekend.

would a small leak cause it to hunt like that? or a possible dead coil pack?

i unplugged the AFM and still ran shit dont think its a air leak...

facts are as follows Ed:

1. Something went bang whilst driving / been driven

2. Big puffs of smoke coming out the exhaust (what color is it BTW?)

3. Engine runs like a donkey ever since noise occurred

4. New set of plugs did not fix the problem

5. Take the guidance of Ants and see a Mech for diagnosis of engine

Yes, leak test and comp test are on the cards Ed.

Im guna say it.

I call bs it went bang at idle. You were boosting and split a hose. Do a boost leak test, check all hose clamps, ic piping etc.

seriously it was sitting at lights when it happen didn't even boost it cause car was still cold.... so from that video you would look for a split ic piping ect?

just watched the vid. Sounds terrible but could be the location. Let idle and pull coil pack connectors 1 at a time and see if rpms change. If the rpms drop on a particular cyl report back. Edited by MagicMikeZ32

    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
    • I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt 
    • So M12 and sealant should be fine?    NPT ” because that’s what I had and what I could get atm. 
    • Wouldn’t touch par if they gave it to me. You need to ask how much power you’re looking to make and then add about 50% to it because that’s what you’ll end up making  The factory box says no more at about 350kw or so, the upgraded synchro boxes won’t handle much over 500kw for long and at that point you’re looking at an auto or dog engagement manual,  once you’ve gone dog engagement you may as well go sequential, they cost a little bit more but it’s worth it  also while you’re at it you should upgrade the transfer case with 10 friction plates
