hey guys i own a 1990 cefiro with engine mods as follows:
rebuilt rb20det
worked head
front facing plenum
fairlady t/b (unsure what model)
high mount mitsubishi td06-19c (part no on front 4917952000)
z32 AFM
huge coola of unknown brand
3inch exhaust
high flow bosch pump
rising rate reg (some chinese shit brand)
mines ECU
ATM im not driving the car atleast untill iam confident its happy,
besides that its ready to drift i have upgraded suspension, brakes, bushes , 2 way diff, 25 gearbox ,clutch
i just need to fix these few problems
while iam good with suspension , brakes and bolt on mods i dont know sfa about engine internals except noise is bad hahaha
ok so heres the questions;
1) iam getting a rattling from the engine over about 3000rpm she drives fine very smooth, i thought it was coola piping on the engine bay but nothings loose or moving
what signs would point to knocking detonation or engine damage? (last thing i need with a rebuilt motor)
2) how much power could this turbo produce ? (when all is proven safe)
3)i have very heavy steering i have checked for leaks and topped up fluid and the belts tight im wondering could it be the pump how would i tell?
4) whats the mines computer like is it worth keeping or should i get a stocky with a remap?
5) it looks stock and sits quiet high .... but will front coileys stop me from getting RWC in QLD (i put stockys in the back already for RWC but i dont have stock front struts)
6) does anyone know a reliable TRUSTWORTHY mechanic on the gold coast
thanks for reading
