A custom fanifold???? Never heard of one of them?? Where do i aquire such parts???? :) hehe BeeR BOV??? Dear god!! Sounds good son, and btw my car needs more then a couple of clutch plates and a few cans of paint :P Waiting.....Waiting.....Waiting.......waiting......waiting......

My car is no where near finished, I keep wasting money on stupid things like alto's (you wait till you see it next adam it's had a few mods) all I need now is ebc, computer, motor rebuilt and a slap of paint, and she'll be good to go. I'm in no rush.

You know your gonna have to take me for a strap crimmo, I wanna experience a fast DR.

Watanabe look-alikes would be tough on it. If any of my wheels had actually fitted I would have kept it, but the Watanabes, Enkeis and Longchamps are all too wide. It was going to get a guage last week but the vacuum lines were too hidden for me to be bothered

  • 6 months later...

Oil pump ended up being in decent condition.

Ordered new rod and main bearings (they were a little worn but may as well do them), full gasket set, new chain tensioners and a genuine oil filter or two from God (better known as Stuart Wilkins)

The FJ looks even tougher with the rocker cover off than it does with it on!

The sump ended up being pretty much undamaged, the pics I took must have had weird lighting because its pretty much fine though it does look like the pickup had hit the sump.

Weird... I thought I'd get billed $800+ (assumed the listing of $70 for main bearings and $37 for rod ends was each, plus the gasket set and tensioners)

But my visa was only billed $548.95 today, it doesnt come up with who its billed to, but I assume its SWR.

Does $70 and $37 each for the bearings sound right, or $70 and $37 for the full sets?

OHR30T I'm not chasing parts, I've already ordered everything and it will be arriving on monday. I'm just looking for a sump to replace mine at some point.

slide247 as I said before, I didnt replace the pump, mine ended up being fine. Gears were really good and the housing has only the very very very slightest scoring so its going back in.

Went and looked at all the bits after they had been washed yesterday, the aluminium bits like the housing and the water pump look seriously sexy when theyre shiny

    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful         
    • Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.
    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
