10 points to who ever guess' what I am doing, and f**k me its a pain in the arse, fiddle job. I have been on this for 3 hours, and i have snapped bolts, cracked fingers used heaps of this really cool goo that will loosen any bolt.

Oh and the turbo is stock as a rock (ceramic exahust wheel and its got about 1 mill movement too)

Any way here are the pics of the job... not dialup friendly

Ohh haha i just had my dump/front pipe installed as i knew i'd break shit and it would cost me more in time and effort then it would to get my mechanic to do it... sure enough, they broke bolts, had to drill them out... glad i didnt do it :(

All you need is a hammer, a tub of supaglue and a can of WD40.

If it moves and its not meant to - glue it up.

If it doesn't move and it is meant to - squirt it with WD40.

And if all else fails hammer the sh#t out of it, this doesn't make it work, but it makes you feel better.

Ah ok well all i have to say is $35 boost controller GET IT!!!

i shit you not best boost controller i have ever owned... all be it only the second one but still IT ROCKS!!! holds boost so well i could not believe it max i have seen it spike is 1 psi, max loss was .5 psi. I have only had it on for about 4 days now but have been doing a bit of testing and it is great. For $35 though best cheap mod ever :(

nah still using stock turbo and wastegate, I heat rapped the split dump too, still f**king boost spikes though

I am more worried about stevie's beast........

I agree with Leech on the boost controller. That Turbotech mbc has to be the best bang for buck thing I ever bought for my S14. Amazing mbc with no spiking. Moved my boost from 0.55 to 0.8 bar and boost was smoother, came on earlier, and the car went so much faster!

I miss my S14! :drag:

    • Price seems pretty good to me. Also seems a hell of a lot cheaper then buying another vehicle that only ever gets used for towing.  I'm a long way from you mate, I'm a couple of hours out of Brizzy. 
    • New [400]Z, they're available in manual and you don't have to worry about parts scarcity. 
    • Just planning to have the wiring neat and hide as much as possible.
    • The sodium acetate, mixed with citric acid, doesn't actually buffer each other. Interestingly though, if you used Sodium Acetate, and acetic acid, THAT becomes a buffer solution. Additionally, a weak acid that can attack a metal, is still a weak acid that can attack a metal. If you don't neutralise it, and wash it off, it's going to be able to keep attacking. It works the same way when battery acid dries, get that stuff somewhere, and then it gets wet, and off it goes again breaking things down. There's a reason why people prefer a weak acid, and it's because they want TIME to be able to be on their side. IE, DIY guys are happy to leave some mild steel in vinegar for 24 hours to get mill scale off. However, if you want to do it chemically in industry, you grab the muriatic acid. If you want to do it quicker at home, go for the acetic acid if you don't want muriatic around. At the end of the day, look at the above thumbnail, as it proves what I said in the earlier post, you can clean that fuel tank up all you want with the solution, but the rust that has now been removed was once the metal of the fuel tank. So how thin in spots is your fuel tank getting? If the magazine on the left, is the actual same magazine as on the right, you'll notice it even introduces more holes... Well, rust removal in general actually does that. The fuel tank isn't very thick. So, I'll state again, look to replace the tank, replace the fuel hanger, and pump, work out how the rust and shit is making it past the fuel filter, and getting into the injectors. That is the real problem. If the fuel filter were doing its job, the injectors wouldn't be blocked.
    • Despite having minimal clothing because of the hot weather right now, I did have rubber gloves and safety glasses on just in-case for most of the time. Yes, I was scrubbing with my gloves on before, but brushing with a brush removes the remaining rust. To neutralize, I was thinking distilled water and baking soda, or do you think that would be overkill?
