Mugabetown - Whoretownin' At It's Worst.

Bah, turbo on the CX-7 has shat itself, can only drive sub 2500rpm....applying throttle results in burning oil smoke out of the PCV :(

Anyone mechanics keen to do the swap-over? The turbo is at the rear of the engine and a real c%$t to get at, name your price :D

Rnr on Wednesday, can't wait to drive my car again, ants I don't know how you've waited so long

Its been 3 weeks for me and I'm dying lol. Ants has great patience.

I did however drive mine for 10mins this morning testing out the new brakes. Verdict, they need more bleeding lol

well I have limited time really. Patience as Scottie said also help but only to a degree.

Everything I do to my car I've basically wanted to do it like yesterday..............it never happens like that

Got a deadline to do my bits. Fuel pump, cam gears, AFM's and injectors need to be in by the time i finish RnR, booked in for a tune on the second day back from my next swing, so hopefully it'll be a whole new beast for... march.

Don't think the injectors have left the states yet though, so might not get them until I head back out to site. Good thing I left myself a spare contingency day.

    • Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.
    • 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.
