    Also food for thought, you buy billet gears, then a new housing and it ends up costing very close to a new Nitto oil pump. I've done the following: Engine No. 1 - Old housing, new Spool v1.0 gears Gears eventually developed pitting and all sorts of crap Suspect due to clearance issues and gears moved about causing cavitation (broscience) Start up oil pressure issues Engine No. 1 - New Housing, New Spool v2.0 gears Oil pressure issue seem to be resolved No start up oil pressure issues Oil pump worked a bit too good, kept filling the head/catch can, etc. on track days Binned motor from oil starvation Engine No. 2 - Nitto Oil Pump Oil pressure amazing Also have a 5L catch can draining back to sump Nitto Head drain/crank case vent installed Hope to never talk about oil issues again

    If you're planning to run N1 style gears, you'll need a RB26 or RB25DET NEO oil pump. They won't fit in a R32/R33 RB25DE/T housing. Also I suggest you get a brand new pump then fit billet gears to them, this will allow a better fit and also reduce any unwanted movement. I did the whole N1 gears in a RB25DET NEO pump that had probably 300k km+ on it. Let's say it didn't work out well.

    I made the assumption @RB335 sent them a used R32 block, that would implied it would already have an engine serial on it.

    And it's in a spot where you need to be really blind or mentally retarded not to be able to locate.
  5. Dose Pipe Sutututu
    How do you just lose a block? it's not like it's a 10mm socket.

    You forgot to tag him, hey @Piggaz Nek minnit WTAC 2022, watch out MCA Hammerhead.

    LOL that's asking for a divorce, those things are heaps of shit.

    Mrs Dose Pipe said no Korean cars, as much as they are better built than VW shit boxes they still don't have that level of sound deadening and comfort. Like getting jumping from a Rav 4 to a Tiguan, sure they're the same price but man the Tiguan much more comfy.

    Yep, but you often hear internet keyboard experts say they went to a high mount and it gained response, same way you often hear people saying they went higher duration cams and it made the car less laggy lol

    Yeah I did think of that however the new facelift model they removed the boot proximity auto close, removed the rear tray tables, removed physicals buttons on the steering wheel and not to mention have done nothing in terms of power and the DSG box. I really hate running a DSG box in a SUV, it's just not very nice to drive at times, even after I've coded out the pedal delay and have had the car flashed with an APR tune. Sure it runs 12.9s 1/4s 😂 but simple things like a hill start or reversing up a slope is horse shit. They need to just put in a ZF box and turn the motor around like a Q5.

    Lolololol.. I just like the X3 over the Tiguan chassis because of the bootsize. I didn't think we needed such a big boot till we had a kid! Touareg would be amazing but that's a 100k+ car 😥
  12. Dose Pipe Sutututu
    Bloody oath there will be 😂 I am thinking of moving to a BMW X3 30i from our VW Tiguan 162TSI though, however the jump in price point is putting me off. Is it "that" much better?

    Davies Craig 12" overheat/condenser fan now installed on new fan bracket. No nasty holes through the condenser like before 😁
  14. Dose Pipe Sutututu
    Man you've lost your sense of humour, and I put 2033 for mine. If you do the maths 2033 is greater than 2026.

    Now with lines installed, great fabricator - uses WhatsApp, sends me updates and works with my ideas. If anyone needs fab work around Sydney, hit up Johnny (I know right same name too) at PL Fabrications IG: https://www.instagram.com/plfabrication/
  16. Dose Pipe Sutututu
    I'm aiming 2033 actually, but will be running before @Piggaz LOL

    This would be contributing to most of your problem, move it so it's not sandwiched between heat and more heat. Also get at least a 25 row cooler
  18. Dose Pipe Sutututu
    Or just don't go to meet ups and park it on the hoist forever LOL

    Now with fittings, also forgot to mention the oil filter block has been relocated and a new bracket made. Once everything is complete, it will be powder coated black. I'm going the OEM looking theme, raw plenum but with black pipe work and black other things. Keeps it OEM+++++++++ if you know what I mean.
  20. Dose Pipe Sutututu
    Correct, just had a gate welded to it and kept the OEM divider
  21. Dose Pipe Sutututu
    Or vent the crank case to the catch, catch return to sump and vent the catch to atmosphere.
  22. Dose Pipe Sutututu
    Then in a year or two, we'll see a new topic about upgrading from twin -7/-9 to a Single turbo LOL.
  23. Dose Pipe Sutututu
    Still have the clutch fan, and OEM shroud That fan is the A/C condenser / overheat fan.
  24. Dose Pipe Sutututu
    Unfinished state because some shop I ordered fittings sent my fabricator the wrong things. Small delay but what's a day or two in comparison to a 11 months of a non functional car 😂 Side box thingy is the new washer bottle. At some stage will have a filter element shoved in there (yes I'm going to the dark side, no more plumbed back catch, although it shouldn't be too hard in future, just will look aids with a hose across the motor).

    Quoting this just incase you decide to go E85 and then edit your post.
