Yeh so you reccomend.. Is the car uncomfortable to drive with the mounts or as normal? Coz they aren't exactly solid they are just nismo poly urethane right?

Reason I wanted to as I saw it on the dyno and the motor moves a shit load, then Scott was trying tighten the wastegate and as he was pushing against it the whole motor moved. Don't know if fkd or just how it is but I didn't like it. How do you rate 'Megan' stuff? $250 +ship for engine and gearbox mounts, they are pretty much the nismo ones with a different brand stuck onto it

I used nismo so no idea on Megan, but vibration I did not notice any difference.

I only found pro's no cons.

and yeah they are a very very stiff mount not billet or anything thus "solid"

WIll prob get an engine dampener as well soon to make it a bit stiffer again!

less vibration = less wear in my books

You can have my damper if u want I can't use it because of the heat shield. Let me know if u wanna take it.

You will feel more vibrations on idle, if you are fine with that go the harder material. I'd prefer the factory mounts.

It's got a lumpy idle from cams, so if I can tolerate that I guess a little vibration shouldn't be anything IDE worry about

yeah but if the vibration is causing some plastic to rattle behind the dash or something, that would drive me insane lol

f*cking sick people getting me sick. Stay the f*ck home if you are sick. Got a holiday next weekend, i better not be crooked.... 9 days to get over a cold? Will be a close one...

Lol 9 days to get over a cold thats heaps man. 2-3 days is all you need

I did solid mounts all round. The revs determined which new part of the car rattled and at what volume. It also made bolts and screws undo themselves lol

Don't blame the sick people. I've been crook with the flu for two weeks and if I so much as dared to take a sick day (some days I've nearly collapsed at my desk) I'd be spoken to like I was doing the wrong thing and not setting a good example.

But 9 days, good luck. Hope you've got a good immune system, this one is nasty.

i had two bouts of flu/cough/sorethroat combo each about a week long and bad enough to give me shakes and night sweatswith about a week recovery in between. still coughing from the last one, and i leave for a bucks weekend on thursday.

lol yeh fair enough but not going full solid, jus polyurethane solid

f**king STOP IT!!!

lol its my iPhone, it automatically does it IDE never talk like that

hence why not going solid but solid

    • Got the motor out and torn down. I'll be dropping off the block Monday. Luckily the scoring on Cyl6 is much less pronounced then the pictures made it out to seem. It can barely be felt. If you pass your finger over it 10x you'll barely notice it. Hopefully by some chance it will only require a honing. I'm not in the mood to buy one size larger pistons or another block. Oddly enough my 6th cylinder with the scoring has extremely clean intake valves compared to my other 5 cylinders. I'm worried the scoring was caused by too much fuel or Water/Methanol washing the cylinder. I'll review some old logs to confirm.  This was also the first time I pull an engine with the transmission still attached. It went much better then expected. I was worried my CD009 wouldn't make it easy due to its sheer size but it was much easier this way. 
    • From the pictures I have when doing the job the flywheel is the same diameter, I don't think they're playing weird tricks like putting weights at the outer diameter to increase flywheel inertia or anything like that. The OEM flywheel is definitely heavier, but it's not a huge difference. Quoted weight savings of the clutch is 2 kg so I can't imagine the flywheel being lighter than ~7 kg. Kind of regret not weighing it before the clutch went into the car but as far as driveability goes I have no complaints.
    • HKS trigger kit should be very easy to integrate with a Link. It's a 36-2 crank trigger. Hard part is finding the motivation to take off the timing belt and everything on the front of the engine to install it. You also need to cut out a hole in the oil pump housing so the sensor can read the trigger wheel. Changing out the cam sensor for a 24 tooth setup is probably good enough but as others have mentioned depending on what underlying assumptions are changed it becomes more of a problem. Reading the crank state off of the cam is an abstraction that works in the general case, but if you have an edge case it makes less and less sense. There is a GTX2860 gen 2 that can take a compact 5 bolt housing so it's direct bolt on but I'm not 100% sure of what's involved. Peak compressor efficiency drops off a bit on these turbos vs -5s, 77% vs 73% but you get way, way wider region of operation. The -5s have a really strange surge line in their compressor map that is all over the place. If you think the hot side on the -5s aren't open enough you can try the Tomei T550B turbos which a local tuner seems to be happy with:
