Hey Cam,

Nah man pulling it off was easy - if you've got the '95 model with the airbag in it, they're prone to the clunking noise, there's actually a rubber mounted cast iron weight in there, over time the rubber obviously degrades and leaves the iron weight to clunk around - pain in the ass it was!

So I ripped out the weight (after a few months of searching for the tool!)

managed to find a Torx Tamperproof Socket set T10 up to T60 i believe (1/4" and 3/8") :)

thanks again Kym for the offer of a lend :) thought i'd pick them up seeing as i might need them for something in the future and you can never have too many tools.

if anyone needs a lend of a socket let me know :D

Strich - did you have any problems pulling off the steering wheel? Mine's making a wicked heavy clunking noise. Hope the airbag don't go off in the meantime! :)

Hey guys I posted the thread on this year ago..and I do have the tools....

Bought them from Repco as a set for $19....

The airbag is safe . It sits inside its own compartment and this weight sits suspended above it.

One thing I noticed over time without it the steering wheel vibrates with the car. Not noticable with the weight on. This is not fixable as you have to get a new steering , can't weld rubber :)

what tool does it take to get a 95 streering wheel off with an airbag, its making that clunking noise and i had to rip the fuse out cos it kept turning on the horn around corners...?

Will the airbag bust out if i take the steering wheel off?

Tamperproof T50 socket, i should be doing this to mine in the next week or so, i'll see how i go with it :)

disconnect the battery and take care with the airbag.

You don't need to disconect the battery, its a mechanical issue. Nothing electrical you will get near no sensors or anything.

      Ball bearing turbos

      By sunsetR33 · Posted

      Hi all. Been a while but things are moving along. I just have something that I am wondering about. Since I will use OEM turbo oil pumbing, I got myself a new bolt, the one that goes into the engine block oil feed. As I recall (and see visually) this bolt comes restricted with I think a 1.7mm hole? Not quite sure but it was something around that size. The turbos have 1mm restrictor bolts installed, as necessary due to ball bearings and my higher oil pressures. Can I now just use that OEM bolt with the 1.7mm hole in for the engine block or will this actually be too much oil flow restriction and I have to drill it out first? In my head it would make sense for the bolt to be at least 2mm wide as both turbos take "1mm of oil flow". Do let me know if my logic is flawed here, I just want to make sure I don't kill my turbo bearings with too little oil. Don't know if I can trust the saying I read somewhere that ball bearing turbos essentially only need an oil mist

      Forced Performance Hta Turbos

      Yeah based on old XRC5964S specs, it looks to be roughly GTX3576R sized? But this 5964S compressor will flow 90lb airflow somewhat similar to the compressors in both the GTX3584RS or G35-1050.. I fully expected the 0.64 rear A/R to choke up top - seems way too small from typical convention - but these are seemingly beneficial over the prior 0.82 results.. Be interesting to see if he comments on the EFR question in that thread - he mentioned in a prior video that BW EFR's were the "cats pajamas 10 years ago", but by the sounds of things all his kits have been using Xona for quite a while now.

      Yeah it’s still got the oem manual gearbox and clutch, only kinda mods are a blow off valve, coil overs, and a aftermarket intercooler. Also had it for about 2 months now with a lovely midnight purple paint on it.

      Yeeeppp, been following a lot of the testing on the latest Xona stuff and there are some mental results.  He also went over 1000hp @ 4 hubs on his Mainline with a XRE6364S (63mm) which was also well into the 20psi range before 4000rpm on a 2.5. Crazy stuff. Fwiw the XRE5964S is basically the modern equivalent of their old HTA3582 - would drive nicely enough on an RB25 or 26, but proven capable of a huge amount of power if you want to spicy with rpm tho even at sane boost levels will make stout numbers
