yeah.. seriously... imagine your gearbox without oil.

it would be farked the moment your hit 1st.

well i got a story on that

my aunt has a cq60 merc

and she took it to be serviced

and they never put gearbox oil back in

she then drove half way to dbn (+-350kms)

and then it seized

she then said "i tought i could hear something whinning and getting louder"

yes i will take 10litres pls

get Rozz to try it as well.

the specs for turbolite are:

TYPE OF USE

Specially designed for high performance engines

All gasoline or Diesel engines, Turbo or naturally aspirated, multivalves, with carburettor or with injection, with or without catalytic converter.

Suitable for all types of fuel : standard, unleaded, Diesel fuel, LPG.

All driving conditions : City, Road, Highway.

PERFORMANCE

STANDARDS ACEA A3 / B3

APPROVALS API SL / CF

VW 505 00 / VW 500 00 quality

Mercedes Benz page 229.1

* The new standard API SL is more stringent than API SJ in terms of ageing resistance (average drain interval increased), requires anti-oxydation properties that maintain a constant viscosity avoiding sluge and deposits in the crankcase, anti-wear properties and dispersent power

The synthetic base stock provides high lubricating power and protects perfectly the engine while in intensive use on road, highway or in town.

The high performing anti-wear additivation results in reduction of engine internal frictions and increases life duration by wear reduction.

SAE 10W-40 viscosity grade is fully adapted to recent gasoline and Diesel engines and ensures easier starts.

Very efficient anti-deposit and anti-black sludge power which keeps the engine clean.

Anti-oxidation, Anti-corrosion, Anti-foam properties.

idiots.

that's why i like to do the servicing myself. at least i know WHAT kinda oil is going in and i can take my own sweet time.

i usually leave the engine oil to drain for 2 hours :(

    • Another question sorry, what stainless do u use in the turbo external WG plumb back piping? Is it 321, 316 or 304?
    • Right, its been a while for updating this car, but I made some small but important progress today. In the end I bought an Ecutek dongle from the Australian distributor Tunehouse (for local hardware support) but have gone with a remote tune from Racebox in the US (because they have done millions of these, and I could not find any tuner where I could access the tune anyway as they are all password locked). The App is reasonably easy to work with, but the PC software reminds me of Haltech's ECU Manager that you need to use with the Plat Pro ECUs, it is a nightmare.  Anyway, I sent the details over, got back a tune file and a request for data logs. I finally got a chance to access a private test track today as they want redline logs in 3rd and 4th, and have sent them back for the first round of reviews. The main difference in the tune is going from 1.0 (stock) to 1.3 bar (19psi), although I'm sure is a lot of other stuff in the background. Keeping in mind this is a dead stock car with 125,000klm, this is what the App's performance test claimed: Before After Interesting to note that both 400m tests had the same terminal speed (158klm/h) but different ETs. And no, the speed limiter seems to be higher than that at 186kl/h. Summary of the key logged parameters for the 3rd and 4th gear runs were: Those little turbos were certainly whizzing at 200,000rpm+.  Also I'm really not that excited about oil pressure 55psi at redline so I think I'll go thicker than 5w30 (nissan recommend 0w20....) and see if that improves it. Other than that (and the big boost spike....) everything looks good as a start to me.
    • Just one more post to show the final result and the original "janky" solution for a laugh. Everything feels really tight and no wobbling at all, very pleased 🙂
