just a suggestion i had a strange whinning noise that i thought was the turbo lacking oil on startup would last a little while and then go away. it was like a nasty queeling noise and eventually i traced it down to the belts on the front of the motor needed some dry lube, WD40 done jack sh*t but helped me find it as its not easy to get ur hand past the clutch fan to lube it up.

dont know if this helps but anythings worth a shot!!!

Thanks for the suggestion mate, I know exactly the noise you're talking about Theo; but this is definitely appears boost related.

Basically as soon as it goes positive manifold pressure; the whine starts. It overlays the normal whine that the turbo has.

Sounds like the t3 exhaust gasket, I have had a few like that. Could be the front wheel rubbing though.

Need a replacement stock turbo? It could be a better option if you don't want to highflow...

Hmm, I don't think it's a leak; I'm going to get it on the hoist and stall it up, we should definitely be able to see/hear a leak if there is one.

Frankly, I'd be happy to stay with the stocker; but who's to say how long a second hand one will last? Are you talking about the one you were running on yours in between setups?

Feel free to PM me if you have time mate; it might be a viable option. :thumbsup:

I don't mind Lainy, I like talking to other people. With the car at my house I should be able to get parts shipped quickly, not taking 2 or 3 months like 'other' members. :P

lol.

i got stranded today the damn battery in the key/remote went flat............ unlocked the car with the key and the alarm went off and then tryed to start it but the alarm wouldnt stop so couldn't go anywhere untill i got a new battery in the remote. very convenient when i was at the dog park, luckily a mate lived close by and we ran up to the shops and got a new one.

so for anyone needing a battery the part number is CR3020.

Hmm, I think I asked that Lainy bloke for a part to be measured ages ago, just after he got his hands on the wreck, actually. Still waiting for a reply...

Bloody Skoda drivers! :rant:

Oh yeah, I got my clutch replaced on Friday - out with the supposedly heavy duty Exedy, in with a Nismo twin-plate. Getting used to a new clutch and re-acquainting myself with driving a manual at the same time, after roughly 5 weeks of rolling around in only autos.

Saw your pics Nick; you must've been pissed to find whatever that thing was, that was masquerading as a Heavy Duty Clutch!

I'm assuming that was a workshop job? Good to see you've got what you paid for this time.

How are you finding the Nismo clutch? I was going to go for the coppermix single plate when i did my manual conversion, ended up being a bit too expensive at the time though.

Nah, I bought the last clutch myself, Dale, and had Unigroup install it.

Sourced the Nismo myself again, but Unigroup were flat-chat and I wanted my car back, so I got another local mechanic to do it, about 2mins drive and in the same suburb as Unigroup. We deal with them a lot, so I know they do good work too.

Oh, and here's the supposed "heavy duty" Exedy job - less than a year in the car:

It's butter-soft, Brian. Loving it so far! And no, it wasn't cheap, but they do come with a matching lightened flywheel which kind of makes up some of the cost.

      Rb head oil drain dimensions

      By Papichulo96 · Posted

      Bump on this to not make another post, had a ‘head drain’ leak on me and have the engine out as we speak. Planning on just putting a new freeze plug back in , plug the tapped holes and just be done with that headache.    Now I still want to relieve pressure to allow oil to pass down the blocks returns easier. I’ve seen catch cans with multiple vents help folks with this issue on this forum.  I’m wanting to make my own. I have some pictures here of my setup if anyone can help how I should plumb and design the catch can I would deeply appreciate it !   rb25 Oil upgrades: 1.0mm restrictor n1 pump/billet gears extended crank collar  extended sump with trap doors/w welded fitting

      Need AC Compressor for R32

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The Frenchy's kit is the way to go forward. A modern compressor that weighs about 1/2 as much, is at least twice as efficient, and will do a good job on R134a. And of course the kit has everything else you need to connect it up and have it work properly.

      Need AC Compressor for R32

      By Zabuza · Posted

      Hey all , I am in the process of having the AC system in my r32 GTST converted from r12 to r134a and I’m being told my compressor has gone bad and I will need a new one. I was wondering if anybody has any suggestions for what is the best route to go aside from dropping $1500 on a new oem one? I did see that Frenchy’s performance garage offers a kit to mount a Toyota compressor, has anybody actually used this kit on their car? Or is there anywhere I could purchase just a clutch? Any help is appreciated.

      Help Understand GTT Boost Setup

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Well, your RB20 ECU loom won't have wires for the boost solenoid, that boost sensor, and possibly one or two other things. There could be differences in seemingly random things like the charcoal canister purge solenoid, because the 25DET has to handle boost in the vacuum system and the 20DE does not. I don't know - I haven't looked. It is very likely that all the most important things are same-same, being the main sensors like AFM, CAS, etc, and the injectors and ignition. Not that you'll need the AFM for the Haltech anyway. I would suggest that you would seriously want to sit down with the pinouts for both ECUs and just go through them and highlight green what is the same, orange what is different/missing, and make a plan from there. It's not going to be difficult. It will either be the same or need to be fixed.

      Help Understand GTT Boost Setup

      By Sxnjeet · Posted

      yeaaa that's why I haven't done any wiring to the stock ecu harness because I have the haltech, but then that leads me to the other question of "is the pnp harness really plug and play?" or would I have to still switch some pins/wires over because the pnp is for the rb25det neo harness, and not for the rb20de neo harness. was really hoping to find something to spoon feed me since so many people have done rb20neo + t conversions, but man this is rough.
