Yer oil dipstick popped out too much pressure in crankcase.
Not sure to why i had so much pressure to do that. But to fix the problem and do happy track dayz i think i need a catch can, larger sump, baffle kit for sump n cam cover, oil restrictor Maybe even a oil accumulator on top.
Then it might hit the track again but for now ill keep it straight drag pass.

Did loose about 4ltrs of oil from 6 hardly touching the dipstick that how known something went wrong as i was going up the shecane at 6k to 8k rpm i look down n noticed oil pressure at 2kgcm2..... at that point my car seat had me by the balls.
No knocking but at idle in gear lift the clutch put load on engine makes a small squeaking sound n crank pully has very slight movement . So thrust bearing has worn too much. :(

Sure it hasnt cracked a piston and uv had excessive blow by?

I bloody hope not but i think i might put a borescope on my to do list.

As for me day dreaming of a rebuild stroker kit money can buy a 2.8 or get a rb30 and same money buys a 3.2 or 3.4 [emoji57]
Now my biggest problem is finding time to wipe my own ass.
Got another baby 11mths apart
Happy dayz happy dayz [emoji6]

Mine cracked 4 ring lands and was not visible from above and spark plugs looked normal. The one piston that cracked from rings touching would barely be visible from above but the spark plug always looked oily

30 is not same money. So much small shit has to be changed for the extra height you never think about. As someone who has done it, the torque is awesome, the initial install is far more involved than just bolting it in and Then you have the rego issues.

The 2.8 is less of a headache, it's still a 26 as far as rego care and everything that unbolted just bolts back up. If you have the time/money and want the 3.2/3.4 then yes, it's awesome but don't expect it to be as quick to do or the same cost.

Man, I was smashed after yesterday. It was loooooong!

I am hearing that!

After you left yesterday, we got stuck into the cake, and before we knew it, finished the glaze just before 11pm

The dog still hadn't moved as of 6.30am this morning.

Yeah i was only thinking of the stroker kit only.
Isn't the height change the only problem was thinking that hypertune now make a low profile rocker covers.

    • List all of your mods. It sounds like an aftermarket ECU hitting rev limiter. Like a valet mode, or a cold rpm limiter? 
    • @Kapr Haha yeah thats the one. I missed that you had a built up engine, I wouldn't want to run it on there either then. It was good in my situation just to replace the original turbo on a stock engine. @MBS206Yep definitely not a replacement for anything name brand
    • You are selling this? I have never bought something from marketplace...i dont know if i trust that enough. And the price is little bit "too" good...

    • It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about. Reliability of everything in a 34 drops MASSIVELY above the 300kw mark. Keeping everything going great at beyond that value will cost ten times the $. Clutches become shit, gearboxes (and engines/bottom ends) become consumable, traction becomes crap. The good news is looking legalish/actually being legal is slighly under the 300kw mark. I would make the assumption you want to ditch the stock plenum too and want to go a front facing unit of some description due to the cross flow. Do the bends on a return flow hurt? Not really. A couple of bends do make a difference but not nearly as much in a forced induction situation. Add 1psi of boost to overcome it. Nobody has ever gone and done a track session monitoring IAT then done a different session on a different intercooler and monitored IAT to see the difference here. All of the benefits here are likely in the "My engine is a forged consumable that I drive once a year because it needs a rebuild every year which takes 9 months of the year to complete" territory. It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about with this car.
