  • 2 weeks later...

i have been suffered by a stupid engine problem (killing spark plugs) for over a month and have spent around 250 on the plugs as well as some amount of money spent in another workshop (they are good but i guess they are just too busy to look at my car properly)

finally, holidays are all over, so i wake up early today and gave Ben a call see if he is available. Anyway, i was running late and dropped the car in around 3.00pm...i took 1 hour bus trip back to monash uni plus 1 hour walk to McDonald's and back home~~~!!! Guess what~~~!!??? as soon as i got home, i got a phone call from Ben...all fixed...unbelievable right~~~!!!

All i want to say is Ben you are the best in VIC and thank you for your help~~~!!!!

Its not a question of "other" workshops being busy or anything mate.

They just simply dont know what they are looking at.

Ben will work it out, and it wont cost you the earth like other workshops who just p|ss fart around for weeks on end taking pot luck guesses at what the problems are.

There are too many average joe workshops in Vic, especially in the western suburbs. 99% of them have no idea

    • Thanks mate, couldn't find in VIC, ended up ordering one from NSW, getting rwc to get new plates and registration done.
    • Before all the EFR fan boys come in, have a look at: https://www.garrettmotion.com/racing-and-performance/performance-catalog/turbo/g-series-ii-g30-825-58mm/ It also comes in a T4 1.06 divided housing. I would dare say if you want response & also decent power, this thing would chop.   AND apologies, just re-read your post, you've already bought the turbo... whatever you do, make sure you stick with divided housing and proper twin scroll manifold.
    • People have got to stop doing that. ShatGPT is not a search engine. It is a hallucination factory.   I also would recommend the 1.05. The .83 will "work" for you , in that it will be more responsive, but I think you'll find that it won't be anywhere near as good running it out to 8000rpm as the big housing will be.
    • Decided for the first time ever I would tow my car TO the track day on the same working theory as bringing tools and spares "if I have it I wont need it, but if I leave it behind i will 100% need it" all setup and ready to go out and try these A050 for the first time First session showed I needed to stiffen up the dampers a touch but still managed a few 1:21's without much effort. things were looking good. Came in a dropped the tyres down  to 26/28 as they had gotten to 35/33C from 22C cold The first lap of session two I managed to drop into 1:20's. Then in the second lap into the second session. Coming into T3 and I suddenly lost brake pedal followed by some huge rear end vibrations and scraping sounds. Got it back into the pits after session ended and found this. in the attached video, all of the wobble is in the hub its self, wheel is mint, and bearing feels tight. lKXLqpd - Imgur.mp4   Deciding it was a bent spindle I tried to find bearing/hub assembly locally but was unsuccessful so it was loaded back onto the trailer i luckily brought it on to drag it back home
