Very lucky, So what's going on, is he providing another head or is he just using a bigger head gasket (which has its downsides)?

Giving me another head and swapping my supertech valves etc. into it

He's got that many of them it's just "easier" that way

What's going on with your sump?

I bought a custom made 10 litre with reco'd diff and some swanky baffle/pickup shit about it.

Was going single stage external oil pump (have the pump and ross balancer) but now sticking with the nitto. Was gonna lose air con to it.

Gross. Good choice though, stupid easy to spin a bearing with these and stock sumps. 

Edit: Does it all fit actually? With the 4WD adapter plate and then a much larger sump

He seems to think it will. The sump is wider rather than deeper I think

How's your beast going these days

Good shit! 

Yeah it's next up on the chopping block, I've modified all the intake and exhaust manifolds to work... just gotta get that bearings put in and I can start bolting it all together once again, give me a month or two :P

A month or two in car terms is years...

    • Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is may e 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Dose anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys
    • Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?
    • My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.
    • There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.
    • I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.
