Saving for a house but paying people to clean your engine bay?

Not sure why you're having a go haha. Yes, I am saving for a house, did this come out of my house money? No, it didn't. I also know the detailer, so had it done cheap :)

So unfortunately I didn't come home to find these goodies waiting for me BUT my mum did deliver them to my room which was just as good! Also quite surprising given the fact they came around 5 (idk about you, but I've never received a parcel that late). :bunny:

I'm v excited! Dyno graph probably won't change heaps though but still hoping for better response, especially on a stock turbo :)

Yeah, not sure how it happened haha. Even HyperDrive was amazed!

Hey guys,

So on Thursday I got the call from HyperDrive to advise The Black Pearl was ready to be picked up. Photo of her loving life and being at home below:

HyperDrive did advise some issues were found though. SO, here is my Exhaust Cam Gear (which you all knew about from a few posts ago) not loving life so much:

HyperDrive also advised they found this issue, my Inlet Cam has had the Dowel (think that's how it's spelled) pushed into the Cam! :O See photo's below of the Inlet Cam:

VS's how it SHOULD look (Dowel on Exhaust Cam included for comparison), how the Dowel should look (Left) as opposed to how it was (Right):

Let's talk about some good things now :yes:

Loving the Tomei PonCam's, so much responsiveness with the stock Turbo & absolutely LOVING the tune! First time in at least 6 months she's actually been running well. Video of idle:

One final thing before I go, since the head-swap (well at least that's when I started noticing this issue) there's this noise I can't explain unfortunately. Pretty much when inside the car there is this loud noise that can be heard. It isn't always there, usually after I've turned the car on, it appears 5 minutes later. For the life of me idk what it is.. it's loud though, to the point where it almost hurts my ears haha. That's the only way I can describe it. I'll see if I can grab a video of it actually

Until next time! :D

    • Possibly avoid using a Cometic one unless the deck/head surface are perfectly flat. I did have a look just then and forgiving gaskets such as Tomei or Nitto don't exist for the FJ20, however the Bar-Tek or Kameari ones look good and might do the trick.
    • Because pipe threads for pipe things. M threads for bolt things. Throw some teflon sealant onto it and dust your hands off knowing you did the right thing, instead of going twice around the block to achieve a result using the wrong things. Of course, all of these solutions are ignoring the fact that the minimum thread pitch we're talking about here is 1.25mm, with the 1/4" in NPT or BPS being out around 1.4mm. You will need to know that the boss you're tapping has enough thickness for at least a few threads. That's one of the reasons that 1/8" is commonly used - because the pitch is <1mm. And why would you look to use 1/4" NPT in a BSP country anyway? Ugh.
    • Just throwing around ideas, does it need to be in the compressor cover? Why not the hot side piping?
    • 1/8NPT drill size = 8.7mm. Since the hole got messed up by me, it’s probably around 9mm.    So 1/4” NPT would be next step. A drill size of around 11mm would be preferred there which is not way of my M12 (drill 10.5mm and tap M12 threads)
