After Spending a whole day trying to knock apart a metal cat (its the worst job you could imagine, and it wasnt even mine!!!)

I went for a drive and found smoke fuming from the engine bay, then took off (idling maybe 20 seconds) to pull over and noticed a puddle about 30cm squared.. thinking the worst checked the oil press and its still flowing thankfully it wasnt the oil.. But it was the injectors they were spraying fuel everywhere the all over the engine thankfully not spraying over to turbo/manifold but lets say it looked like a tap on 3/4 and I wasnt happy.

I was driving for perhaps 10-15 mins before I knew about this would it have causes any damage even though it had not registered more than ussual knock?

Knock is a killer ive heard it before but unsure if it needs to register on the power fc to screw a cylinder?

Cheers

P.S I cant stess enough this is not a drip drop leak its like spraying a paint can x4

      Hey Nismo, any chance in the world you still have these seats?

      Forced Performance Hta Turbos

      By Lithium · Posted

      I'd say closer to OG GTX3582R, just smaller trim - so 59mm inducer/82mm exducer as opposed to 62/82 for the first gen GTX3582R. Yeah EFRs were boss, the EFR8474 is still an absolute beast and it perplexes me that people still go to things like Turbosmart/Garrett etc when the results people are getting with those are pretty unremarkable compared to what you could get with a turbo available well before those options came out.  DriftSquid (I think) "upgraded" from an EFR9174 to a Turbosmart turbo and promised a comparison video - and kinda shuffled awkwardly and did a bit of diversion from the fact that they didn't get any improvement going to the currently massively hyped brand of turbo from a turbo that was a bit of a frankenstein that had been well superceded in it's own range before the Turbosmart unit he put on there even came out. I suspect the EFR would outperform most Xonas for what a lot of less-insane RB owners would go for, in the 400-600kw range but the Xonas are looking hard to beat up to maybe in the mid 700kw range at this stage- basically where EFRs don't really reach, and before the Precision turbos take over.  What the Xonas do well in the "EFR range" is be easier to package etc, and work very well if a divided housing doesn't suit your application.

      Tomei gasket

      Are you sure the gasket is blown? What are the issues? Thermocure is the only flush I've seen do anything with rust, very impressed with that, Prestone, rust will be by the pool having a cigarette.

      And since the flush you have a blown head gasket? Have you lifted the head off yet?

      Hr34 fuel pump not turning on

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The answer is to get a hold of the wiring diagram, work out what voltage is supposed to be where, when, and then work out why it is not there, then. I can't speak to the HR34 stuff, because I have never paid any attention to the NAs. There is a possibility that the turbo diagram will help, but it could also be different - depending on whether there is an FPCM on the NAs.
