Could be leaking out of the intake manifold middle gasket... looks like that has pushed out the side a little bit...

Either way, shutup I want a new turbo

yeh that happened to my brother twice i think

if its pushed out, prob is that

Gasket leak could explain the noise, also the detonation I was getting on the track...

If it's leaking out boost, the turbo will be running harder to maintain the set pressure (16psi) and thus getting hotter and hotter... Right?

Would it also throw off the mixtures since the AFM is reading different to what is actually entering the engine? (though, in this case it'd be richer???) and it didn't seem to be running rich at all.

Will plug up my new Wideband on the weekend :)

Think I killed my turbo at Sandown... It's making horrific loud scream/whine under full boost, even a week later (so it's not heat related)

Bahhh :( Will pull it down on the weekend and see what's up :(

Otherwise it's 3076R time (or similar... suggestions?)

you fitted catch can yet?

Yeah I don't want to go extreme... Want just over 300rwkw on E85 and a nice safe tune with a heap of margin for error. I've had too many track days where I've had to limp along due to pushing the limits.

Catch can will be installed shortly as well.

Car is pretty much track only now (still driving to/from the track) so I'm not too stressed about how legal things are/look.

I have a slightly modified xr6t. Too big for the street i reckon

Ss2 should do aroun ~320rwkw which is enough for the street i think

same as my brother, its a bit laggy you really gotta drive like you stole it and keep those revs up lol

How much powah does your brothers car make? And on what psi? Int/ext gate and stock or highmount?

Think it was around 340 or 350ish? on e85 can't remember how much boost, he had it ext gate last time I saw him which was at least 6 months ago, low mounted.

Pretty sure the car is broken at the moment, had to borrow mums heh.

Come to my gym tonight!

Just don't do shit.

I can't hold all my shit in for a whole month...

i would to south east asia, better be safe than sorry

But I want to be a baddass like everyone else here too. :unsure:

Will prob, go to kmart tonight or something to find one.

is Huy electrical engineer? one of my contacts put this up yesterday: "Urgent - Seeking a Electrical Graduate Engineer for 6-8 weeks worth of work in Brisbane doing take off's for an Electrical Contractor based in Brisbane - Start ASAP | Please call 0408 138 011"

Mechanical eng here, if only it was mech I would be all over it! Cheers Leroy.

Mechanical...if it bleeds, he can fix it

Except if you're bleeding from the rear end..... I aren't touching that!

I always avoid crowded place, if need be I've always got my hands in my pockets holding the stuff. Yes, that's what I do in Footscrazy because it does happen all the time there.

Are the hotels trust worthy though?

Try get a hotel with a safe in the room, and read the online reviews... yelp etc... they'll generally be the first place people complain if the staff are dodgy / dismissive of investigating thefts

    • My idle is set at 950rpm though - Moving the timing around 20 degrees is not really what I'd call a calm idle. That said... neither is chop, by definition. The LS ECU likes to adjust timing to hold idle as opposed to air. It'd work, but generally speaking there'd be a discrepancy in the base idle and the IACV would want to move the timing around anyway to maintain said idle. I think I'm just going to keep the timing steady anyway. Preserve my engine mounts.  My aircon is now officially regassed. As the guy was reversing I noticed my reverse lights do not operate, along with my reverse cam. This is a bit distressing, because 100% of guides talk about which wire to connect to backup cams as "the goes with the [other color] wire". Often when doing conversions. Unfortunately the R34 colour wires aren't documented Unfortunately I had a T56 Magnum gearbox with it's reverse switch, which also isn't documented. Unfortunately there's definitely not documentation for people with both of these in the one car. Unfortunately I forgot. After many hours of this, I have a reverse cam and reverse lights again. The wire going through the trans tunnel to the reverse switch had broken. Upon inspection, it looks like this one wire had about 7 spade terminals and extensions in it.. for reasons I cannot possibly comprehend. I also spent the 750 hours required to clean up the wiring behind my head unit which now looks like this: This is a monumental improvement relative to what used to be there WRT triple gauges, head unit, traction control, wideband controller, and whatever the f**k OEM stuff still exists there in various states of connectivity/needed. Next step is to check in at the Exhaust shop to see/confirm how much clearance I have, to decide what mid mufflers or 'resonators' (which are just straight through, narrower mufflers) I can add and hopefully cut out a lot of exhaust leaks, pinhole, v-band or otherwise. But first step will be to 'take a look' before the next step.
    • Fark the AFM card and Nistune, Haltech Nexus S3, DBW, cruise control, flex fuel, dis dat.  
    • It's most likely the bolt/bush where the cover bolts back wore and allowed cover to move forward.
    • Still haven't put the injectors and R35 AFM in so we can tune the bloody thing for the HG highflow it got mid last year! I think I can forecast the upgrade path to a bigger twin scroll, external gate, Haltech, flex setup, Samsonas, dis dat, etc will be .... a while away!
    • Should have taken that opportunity to slot in a twin scroll turbo setup. Maybe next time.
