    Ok. Perhaps no one reads the advert.
  2. Ben C34
    Either way it's poor economy (got worse by his own measurements, flawed ot not) and poor power. Lose lose.

    Wow. Trying a standard turbo? What not just buy a stock car in the first place? Why not try a hypergear high flow that are proven to work?

    Also noticed your post in the rb26 dyno thread. 165 kw at 14psi.... I would go somewhere else for a tune.
  5. Ben C34
    That is terrible consumption. As its a map sensor ecu, a boost leak wouldn't affect the tune, so it really sounds like it's running way too rich due to a poor tune. The fact you picked it up the first time with drivability issues is a warning sign, and the tune still seems bad. Ad GTSBoy said you should be able yo get better consumption with a properly tuned ecu. Your options are take it back for fora third shot, go somewhere else, or get a wideband and tune it yourself (just the low load and cruise areas).
  6. Ben C34
    So fix that and check for boost leaks by pressure testing.

    How did you clean out the cat?
  8. Ben C34
    Nice one! Glad it's sorted.
  9. Ben C34
    Wow. Very lucky!

    To seperate the banks and use one reg wouldn't it go Pump > rail> non return > tee piece to common reg on both sides? Pretty easy.
  11. Ben C34
    Can this do it? I know eboost2 does.
  12. Ben C34
    No worries. It should be an easy fix.
  13. Ben C34
    Normally you would have noises and stuff inspected by someone knowledgeable before handing over the cash.... I hope it is something simple and easily fixed.

    Home honing is not good. Especially with the ball style tool as it just conforms to the bore rather than trueing it up. Definitely worth paying for a hone, and as 89CAL said, if using an MLS gasket you really should have the deck faced to suit.

    A large f off turbo

    Depends what file and how good you are with a file doesn't it! But fair call, a beginner with a bastard file could make a real mess of it.
  17. Ben C34
    It is very likely that the turbo side is ok. The lines are quite soft. You can easily file then stone that damage out, or just replace it.

    The taper does the sealing so no extra sealant required on that end. On the parallel end a washer would be nice. Or you can use thread tape.
  19. Ben C34
    Hard to say how rough you have to be to damage the surfaces.
  20. Ben C34
    Rb don't have the same restrictors setup as vq's do. It is in the line in an rb, easily replaced.
  21. Ben C34
    Any tool shop or probably bunnings. Get a "pocket stone" they are about 60x20x12mmm and are very handy for tidying up faces. Also use full for sharpening knives etc.
  22. Ben C34
    By reinforce the car I hope you mean the floor pan.
  23. Ben C34
    What comp wheel? There's heaps of wheels available for a gt30.
  24. Ben C34
    Kinked return line makes perfect sense.
  25. Ben C34
    I doubt he has one or else he wouldn't ask how to do it
