Yeah all those Easter egg hunts for keys to luxury sedans mus be taking it out of you.

On the topic of torx, I had an idea the other day...I don't think police carry torx bits with them, so if you were to install "heat shields" in your engine bay covering up...certain items...and said heat shields were fastened using torx screws...how could they inspect your vehicle on the side of the road? :)

yeh but it woould kill trying to fit two wastegates in there.. im trying to keep the whole setup low mount and away

twin gates? twin scroll doesn't need twin gates, its just twin entry into the turbo pretty much

mine only had one internal wastegate

f**k up lol

How much is paint? Rent sprayer from you? > :D

it was like $76 + shipping. yeh i should see where it is first, ordered it like 2 weeks ago now

Yep, don't think they have torx though. Just screwdrivers and sockets. Worth a shot :)

I'd stick a big trollface on the shield too lol.

I want to definitely hit over 300kw with e85. Hopefully I'll be at 20psi by about 3800-4k with the stage 2 cams. Bit laggy but I'm not fussed Using a .82 rear so we'll see how it goes. Can always go a smaller housing

:O

.82 in GTX on 2ltr

I think laggier than 3800rpm, and need at least 24psi to see 300rwkw on a 4 banger

They'd probably just send you straight to the EPA or defect it...Guilty til proven innocent (at your own expense) is the way it seems to go here....

Yeh tuner wants to push 25psi through it, I probably will to get a figure then bring it back under. I think the .82 will be ok, plus if it isn't it's not going to be to hard to go smaller

I thought about this, and I know they can defect you for an exhaust on suspicion...didn't think they could defect you on engine mods they can't see and therefore don't know exist though...what would they write down on the paper? At least if they send you somewhere to get it inspected, it would allow you time to remove the illegal stuff before getting it inspected. You wouldn't avoid the pain in the ass but possibly avoid a fine.

    • 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:
