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

    • Its also worth mentioning that 30 years after it left the factory and god knows how many missed oil changes since, there is every possibility that one or more lifters are ticking because they are sticky/gummed up. To resolve that you need to pull the cams then pull each lifter, disassemble, clean, reassemble, soak in oil and re-install, and they should come up good as new.
    • What air filter are you running? Is it a panel filter in the stock air box, or a pod filter? Is the air filter the type that is oiled?   If you unplug the IACV, what rpm does the engine idle at?
    • Reading through the engine service manual their advice is do a cylinder balance test. Unplug one injector at a time and see if the idle drops a consistent RPM. You can also do this using a Consult cable which is easier. They also call for unplugging the power transistor, then with the engine off and the fuel rail unhooked from the manifold verifying that you have good fuel flow (even injection, no dripping/leaks, etc) when you twist the CAS by hand. Also verify the spark by pulling the spark plugs and allowing the plugs to ground and turning the CAS by hand. I would also start doing the sensor checks and idle valve checks in service manual. Make sure the MAF tests reasonably, the intake air regulator is sane, etc. You may have to get new spark plugs.
    • This sounds very old of me, however since buying the Tiguan shit box, my view on shit boxes have changed.
    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
