Srsly though, hows the car going today? Installing the ECU and stuff taking a little while?

Yes, I have been everywhere today and been quiet tiresome. I managed to get the HKS Air flow less adapters from Andrew (top bloke) and drop by the workshop where Gav has been frantically trying to get the car ready.

He was almost there, and then hit a problem. The air intake pipe to the front turbo wont match up to the inter cooler piping.....................fcuk!

He needs to unloose the six bolts to the front turbine housing to match it, which is a bitch to get to when everything else has been bolted on.

I gave him the Hatlech and he will get it started but Sean will do run in tune as Gav does not have the experience with Haltech but enough to get it going.

Aside from that and FPR lines, everything else is done. I will update build thread from the photos I took and definitively worth taking a look at ;)

I've calmed down a bit since I have spoken to Gav as well and we are good.

Dog shit, lots of dog shit. Thats a shit thing about France.

No seriously, dog shit as far as the eye can see.

I miss France and my culture but it is unfortunately shit. It wasnt always like that but its overcrowded, job opportunities are very slim and crime rate is HUGE. Even my Grandmother feels scared and she lives in a good area.

Ants, thats a shit French thing

No offence taken mate. I know what you mean.

There is always those last few issues

I was just giving you some greif!

does anyone have any good experience with couriers and having them pickup goods from a private home and delivering them to you?

Yeah try www.e-go.com.au

I had them take an entire body kit from Melbourne to Bris for me. Guy I sold it to said it arrived fine

so he called chants for back up....

Of course. Giving Tony shit entertains me.

Soooo... Coke or Pepsi?

coke

American Dad or Family Guy?

American Dad. Family Guy reminds me too much of my old life.

Wiskey and the love of a good woman

He has that every day. Still gets sick.

Beret, shit French thing.

I like berets :( I have several.

you guys do know that I'm French right!?

My names French, alas no soul cos British Australian.

I still want to go anyway

Ants, need more pics.. that's all :yes:

I know. Soon I will be able to get more pics..............better pics..........................sexy pics.................................hot pics...............................full on pics :woot:

and maybe a video of start up and def video of dyno ;)

Use Pack and send, get the person on one end to take them to a pack and send office you pick up at your local pack and send, saves a fortune.

Donating used to be the way

Family guy, and I am sadly addicted to pepsi max!

Whiskey usually works for me, Scotch, dry and a slice of lime works each time.

maybe thats why I dont have it.

I donated first time I came on here.

and pepsi max?

2 points.

1. if the turbos came off a car, the housing shouldnt need rotating.

2. you could get it running with the haltech.

plug it in, turn to reds.

with laptop, go into software.

load map for standard 26.

in injector option, type cc capacity.

start.

lol pass on those pics unless female models are involved :P

dyno vid are pretty boring except for the cars that jump off the dyno, get vid of glowing exhaust and manifolds instead :)

tell ya what its been an expensive

Luke have you not been paying attention to my build thread? disappointed son.

Turbos are brand new - never came off car

Its really the Greedy intake piping that wont match up

thanks for the info with the Hatlech - I spoke to Gav about it and he's gonna load up info on laptop, connector, vacuum line etc.. hes wants drivable so I can drive to Sean at EFI\

not sure about standard capacity - because its 2597cc not 2568 (not that is gonna make much difference)

I think the dyno vid for the engine under load would be pretty cool, but glowing zorst and manifolds are also cool ;)

    • Well, hydraulic lifters will get noisy if they are dirty/fouled in some way, and exactly how that manifests will depend on exactly what schmutz is where. There is a procedure on here somewhere for dismantling and soaking/cleaning them. Replacing them with new is about 50% of the work and about 5% of the money!
    • Thanks for the reply @GTSBoy this is is a hydraulic lifter engine. Yea right i did not realise the lifters were supposed to be compressible while installed. I could push them down but i had to lean almost my while body weight on them.  I have never heard of a lifter/ lifters ticking only at hot idle and getting worse the hotter it gets. I have owned a few jdm cars with noisy lifters. This noise is slightly more subtle, it is more of a sharp gentle metalic tic than the solid and more loud tapping I've heard on lifters. I have used a metal rod, alloy tube, hose and stethoscope and could not find the source of the tick. But it appears to be loudest on the actual engine block behind the exhaust cam gear and next to the oil filter. I had mate (40 year old mechanic) go over it with me and he couldn't find it either..  Could it be a cam seal issue of some sort?  Cheers  
    • This seems problematic and unlikely at the same time. Vanilla RB2Xs have hydraulic lifters. They do have "zero" clearance, but only when running with oil pressure inside them. When not running, you should be able to compress them and obtain heaps of clearance. RB26s and Neos have solid lifters. They should have ~0.3mm and ~0.5mm on the inlet and exhaust respectively. If they have zero clearance then bad things are happening. With nothing else being wrong, it would mean that the valves would be held slightly (ever so slightly) open when they are supposed to be closed and it should have all sorts of problems when running, caused by leakage in/out through the valves. Or, zero clearance can indicate severe valve seat recession. None of it is good. Have you used a piece of hose as a stethoscope to try to localise the noise?  
    • Sorry for reviving an old post, but I'm having the same hot idle tick issue. Did anyone ever find out what it was?  I have checked/ replaced Injectors Coils checked Lifter clerance (is at zero) Checked Cam lobes Replaced exhaust gasket and studs Would appreciate any advice this is driving me nuts
