Consider a floating valve BOV if you're stock one is gone.

I found the Turbosmart Kompact completely the wrong choice for this engine.

We have an electronic throttle which operates slowly, meaning the bov needs to be super responsive to + and - pressures.

My car shuddered hugely on decel with the Kompact, as many others too.

Springs are too stiff and outlet orifice is too small.

Keep stock one unless you plan to run higher boost.

Just put in a manual boost-t and eliminate the factory solenoid bleed system to get a better response and a couple more psi

Hmm interesting, looks like i'll be leaving the BOV situation for now until I pull the turbo out.

 

Anyways pulled my headlights apart yesterday and gave them a well needed polish and painted the chrome inserts, have to say i'm pretty happy with the outcome!

Looks good, you baked the headlight?

Hey man as far as removing the turbo. Are you chasing more power? If not I would leave it as is. Mine has been making the whine noise for the 3 years I've had it and the 2 years the previous owner had it. It's still going strong with around 130k on the clock. There's guys pushing 200k and still going on factory turbo. If you are after more power, then get it out of there quick smart.

Yep chasing more power :banana:, plus the dyson noise is starting to drive me nuts. Already spoken to hypergear and i'm pretty keen to get it done now its just a matter of finding the time to pull it and send it off.

Didn't Steve tells you about Scotty Customs? Just another option with hi-flow.

Yeah he did mention something about another bloke doing high flows, is there much difference from the hypergear?

I'm not sure as i have never use either services. You can get more information about your Stag on Facebook as well, there are a few of us there, just search M35 Stagea. Most people prefer to answer questions on FB as it's easier for them.

I'm sure i will speak to Scott at Scotty Customs when i get hold of my Stag, need to upgrade the OEM radiator and maybe a few more things when i'm ready.

Our Ceramic ball bearing system Vs traidional bush.

Easy installation working with OEM lines and restrictors Vs sump dropping and restrictor drilling.

326awkws vs 309awkws

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
