when you say back into the bulkhead, where do you mean?

As far as i can tell, this is the only rail damage:

Lower Radiator Support:

And one more thing.. these cars are bloody heavy!! Had to push it up the hill into the garage yesterday..

If you want any more pictures let me know..

The idea is basically this:

I'll strip the front of the car back, guards, lights, cooler, radiator, air-con, oil cooler etc, then assess the damage, if it looks like it really needs a bench (which i think it does) i will get it done by the pros.

They can do the radiator support and chassis rail and i will bolt the car back together..

It also needs a new set of rear discs.. I think someone did an absolute monster burn out in this thing - extreme brake dust on rear rims, rear discs are ~3mm worn on each side!!

I'll get a better picture of this once the wheels are off and the car in the air..

Update:

Today i removed

Headlights

Indicators

Air conditioning condenser

Radiator (bloody hard to get out)

Bottom radiator support definitely needs to be replaced. It is bent in to within 20mm of the engine fan. LH Chassis rail is straight, RH has been bent diagonally in and up by around 25mm. The area where the intercooler piping returns towards the plenum is where most of the damage is, although this pipe does not appear to have been damaged. The battery platform is still in the right place.

Unfortunately it looks like the rear turbo has been spitting out some oil.. not a great deal, but there is some in the piping from this turbo.

I have no pictures at the moment, my mate wanted his digital camera back for christmas.

Did a compression test today after cleaning out all the water from the spark plug holes..

1: 120psi

2: 120psi

3: 105psi

4: 115psi

5: 115psi

6: 105psi

Remember that compression test results are dependent both on the type of compression tester used and the speed of crank, so these results should be taken as an indication only.

Overally I am quite happy with what this suggest: No major internal engine problems with the pistons, rings and valve seating.

A question for you guys, this car is currently running NGK R number 9 spark plugs. Another forum member has suggested NGB BCPR7ES plugs, does anyone know if these will be ok, or do i need a colder heat rating?

Also, when i had power to the car today i checked out the boost controller - the two settings currently programmed are 1.2 bar (~17.5psi) and 1.4 bar (~20.5psi).

Apart from this I cleaned a rear wheel today... It took about 5 hours with ~1600psi of high pressure cleaner and a whole bottle of wheel cleaner. I want to hurt whoever let these wheels get this dirty!!

Any comments welcome,

Hello,

your compression seems too low? isnt 130-150 correct?

Also, you sure the boost controller is Bar ?? Or is it kg/cm2?

1kg/cm2 is 14.2psi.

Petar.

    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
    • As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
    • Bloody apprentices! 🙄
    • Not sure yet.  Was considering speedtek because it was rated to 800hp, but when I did some research about him I don't think I will go for that🤣 So maybe giken gear set, but I'm afraid it won't be strong enough🙄
