Scabies leave trails on your skin as they burrow and are itchy nearly 24/7. You end up with them all over your body too. Bed bugs/mites will just bite you (not sure if they lay eggs under skin like scabies?). You'll soon know either way. The hottest of hot baths doesn't kill them, only rubbing yourself with insecticide...over every square mm of your body...yes in there...will completely eliminate.

And yes old mate google the hypochondriac. Put in itchy arm bite and you get some frostbite ridden decaying limb pic. The health websites aren't much good either with their symptomatic descriptions that match up to...I don't know...f**king everything

- Headache

- Dizziness

- Nausea

- Weakness/tiredness

- Loss of appetite

My engine let go again.
 

Congealed exhaust gas in coolant looks like poo.
It's noticeably different from coolant and oil mixing, which I have also seen within the last 10,000kms.

I think more like stock motor and never ever open the motor in any case at all.
And some responsive Borg Warner thing on the side of it.

Or who knows, maybe just put an OEM gasket back on what's currently there, unless the block is cracked or there's a portal to the underworld when they remove the head which is entirely likely.

Drove Grant's car the other day; motor felt very healthy. How is it that a guy who can't even hear his engine can keep it in better nick than you Greg :4_joy:

Don't have to open the motor to put studs in.

Perhaps listen to a few of the concerns and suggestions that the engine builder had at the time when he built your motor

I have, every time which is why they were so confused when it arrived back on their doorstep yesterday..
Eliminating things that are "custom" is now my primary goal here. I wonder if things like Scotty's turbo housing/gate/manifold setup causes heat/backpressure/something (maybe it does at 400rwkw at 4000rpm....)

Perhaps the traction control system doesn't work as cleanly as advertised..


Perhaps the metal head gasket didn't seal despite the block and head being super straight and super polished by the machine shop that did it (that also built the engine)


Perhaps the 'custom pistons' that were ordered and sized up for the kit way way back when by someone who was grossly incompetent is causing these fun and games too..

But power was turned down to about 320kw. Given I was pretty happy with that, a standard Neo will be finding its way to that engine bay because I'm really not a fan of "perhaps" (even if something becomes immediately clear as the problem, like last time).

I believe this was brought up as a concern when your engine was built :1310_thumbsup_tone1:

I've had my engine for 3.5 years now and still going strong, only issue was a blocked injector due to e85.

Internally your engine and mine probably same same except for the 2.8 stroker

 

It was, because back then I had a GTX3076R then with a .82 rear, I took the recommendation and went with a much larger rear to open the whole thing up. Also opened up the intake which would have been contributing to that problem (and picked up 45rwkw lol). But it's possible that the damage had been done, but seeing an engine roll over up top, or an exhaust housing go slightly red doesn't usually result in a blown head gasket. I have never actually run the GTX3076R for longer than about an hour before I changed to a free flowing rear.


And since then the head was lifting under boost (wrong head studs supplied way back then, and re-used by current builder because "ARP studs are reusable". This was discovered when I bought a new gasket and studs because I didn't trust the internet when they said you can re-use metal head gaskets and ARP studs.

And what do you know, the old ones were about 25mm bigger.
Then the block cracked literally 2 days after that was assembled, full rebuild since then, with all the recommendations made, followed.
 

I directly followed recommendations of people around me... because when you have problems you start looking at people who do not have problems to see where the differences lie...

As to what failed this time, no one is sure yet, other than it's exhaust gases in the coolant.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
