could be exhaust gasket too.

+1

Mine was tapping like a motherf**ker after a track day at Eastern Creek. Tapping increased with revs too (louder and faster). Only slight loss in power. Wouldn't boost as much either.

Blew out all the exhaust gaskets: engine to manifold, manifold to turbo, turbo to gate, turbo to dump.

Had all gaskets replaced with steel ones and all was good again.

Fingers crossed this is what the problem is with yours miss.

Awwwww thanks guys....

Bout to start stripping it down... unfortunately it sounds like its spun a big end.. :D At least it will be rebuilt by the time the rest of the car gets back from the panel shop... and I didn't have to rush getting my engineers report finished today!

After I take the seized the turbo off the zed ready to pop chris's spare 25 stocko on tomoz (fanks darling) anyhoo...

Ed... hell no ... il bring a recording of it with me... stalled 50% of the time getting it home last night... still got oil pressure though... haha.

p.s ... definitely an internal sound and still makes boost!

p.p.s... RB26 is still an option but in another car :) ... il be rebuilding this and selling it.... so all u vultures trying to part out my car (greg) you will just have to buy the whole thing!

Atleast both cars are hidden away now so nothing can hurt them... but the big Drop Spiders!

I think Timmy J drinking time, panties and lounge room dancing are in order!

:):3some::)

It did happen a bit like that on that fateful night!! bwahahahahahahaha

If its a motor out job im happy to swing past and lend a pretty useless hand

I make a mess easily, and will probably just sit around and get drunk

Come on, its the thought that counts

Excellent, lucky those crownies are still here!!

Motor is coming out so I can send the car off to have its ass fixed :D , least I know my cousins wont be flogging it... just pushing it round :laugh:

OMG Anna, it seems to be never-ending for you.

Sell black cars (both of them), buy Stagea!

If I sell teh zed... Liz wil kill me.. Im scared of Liz! 33 is defintely going.... but not for a Stagea... I refuse to have 4 doors!!! Sooooooorry!

Yeah, I can understand the being scared of Liz thing.

Stagea has 5 doors, in theory, so you're safe.

^^^ yep... so do I part it out or fix it and sell it???

If I fix it il be tempted to keep it, if I sell it ... it will behave for the new owner and il be p1ssed!

Sorry to hear about it dieing, I know exactly how you feel!!

Sorry to hear its gone to god. Been there done that with the bad luck thing. Smoky gave me the heads up. Look just use his parts and do a 3lt for your 33 he aint gonna use em for a while anyway ! ! !

awww.. anna..

I dont knwo you..

but I knwo how hard it is to have an engine that just wont work as it should!!!!

Its so dis-heartening..

Know that by the end of it its all gonna be worth it..

Its worse if you do all the work yourself.. you cringe at the end effort that must go in.. the hours spent.. and the late nights wasted.. but when its back.. and everything is ok.. it makes you smile to the worlds end..

Chin up.. It will get there.. promis
