    The fact there is heaps of blowby shows the rings aren't really doing a good job. comp test while cranking doesn't really show what's happening when revving and making power, which in your case is heaps of blowby. fit the biggest catch can you can
  2. Ben C34
    I would agree with dose pipe. a decent larger can will mask the symptoms, but if you are dealing with a lot of blowby on your engine it likely is a bit tired, or been hurt.
  3. Ben C34
    Yes. Perhaps because we didn't read his mind in the first one he would try his luck again. I vote no.
  4. Ben C34
    Nope

    Towards the back of the car, not the front.

    Yellow jackets suck. You don't need to see cracks to realise that when you have experienced it yourself. They can look perfect and not work properly. How they are still around I have no idea. Also just curious how are you managing to spell so badly ? Doesn't your phone do autocorrect? Makes it pretty hard to read.

    It's not hate, it's fact. Look at them all you want but don't assume they are actually working properly! 2 years no job is a solid effort

    4.5 v at max throttle is normal. 5v sensors showing above 4.5v usually indicates an error of some sort.

    Actually I will add to the good info now that I think of it. commodores had different tapped holes in the caliper depending on the year. Can't remember what size or when it changed..... not a dealbreaker but something to keep in mind with brake swaps
  10. Ben C34
    Very nice . In case people don't realise these are the same as the brembo brakes fitted to VF commodores.

    It would be pretty special to get the oil and coolant lines wrong on a turbo but did you? I don't know. My powers aren't that good.
  12. Ben C34
    Couldn't hear the turbo?
  13. Ben C34
    Start a new thread, don't turn this into chat. Anyway, literally the post above yours answers your question.
  14. Ben C34
    nope, non turbo neo head has substantially smaller ports. like tiny small

    Car looks sweet. It is amazing that they make the gate path like that, considering there is enough space to put a bend in rather than a sharp Junction.
  16. Ben C34
    You are confusing rotating and reciprocating mass. nevertheless the speed at which an engine can increase in revs when it matters, ie accelerating a car, is really dependent on how powerful the engine is, (keeping gear ratio, car weight the same)
  17. Ben C34
    Imitate? seems like an odd choice, but there are certainly worse choices out there... its got some sweet upgrades. Larger alternator and bespoke wiring loom! wow.
  18. Ben C34
    Slap, this makes no sense. your posts are a mix of sensible helpful statements, confusing bits, and complete nonsense. This for example. if the rpm is the same how on earth can the piston accelerate or decelerate differently with a different compression ratio? the factors deciding piston speed are RPM, stroke, rod length. not compression. not possible.
  19. Ben C34
    Nope you want a rolled thread for strength not a cut one
  20. Ben C34
    Yes you have to bypass the igniter. It’s done by bypassing it
  21. Ben C34
    Well the common consensus is that of run as high of a compression ratio as possible, it is limited by the fuel essentially. It even says that in the link you posted. Higher comp will always drive nicer overall. The bit you may be missing is the dynamic compression the engine sees, Wether it is is made from low comp and more boost or higher comp and less boost the "piston speed" won't be impacted, as it's the same pressure on it in both situations. It's certainly not somehow way worse with higher comp.
  22. Ben C34
    I reckon that's overkill, and crazy money. The Nissan stud works, so long as it hasn't been over tightened in its life, so replacing with a new stock one torqued properly makes me comfortable.(uusing stock valve springs)
  23. Ben C34
    You think wrong man. Need to slow down a touch. Ever heard of the Dunning Kruger effect? Should check that out
  24. Ben C34
    Oh man.
  25. Ben C34
    Wow. 20psi at 3000 rpm. That would be fun!
