Piglet's Rebuild Of His Busted Tomei 2.8

[Piggaz]

I saw PJ on Thursday. He said with the dollar the way it is he won't do them.

All good. As I mentioned earlier, there are another two sets between mates to use for fabrication. No drama.

That gate position issue isn't cool.

[fatz]

Yea dam tight

We go our Tial pair through VPW.

Hmm, i didnt check to see how close those 2 gates were on a 6boost manifold.

@ Buraz, What did you do to make them fit? (so i dont need to pull everything out to check)

Just clocked them around on the V band mount to clear each other?

It's just a bitch to do anything really!! Just played around too much and wasted time. Best would have been to extend and separate them a bit. They basically lean on eachother, especially the hot side of one wastegate is leaning on the top of the other. Apparently it can be bad as it can damage the inside diaphragm. Yeh just clocked them around but it's not as easy as it sounds. As the v bands are in the way of eachother too.

Hard to explain but a pain in the arse.

So, had a delivery today. 1 gate only. .

I also noticed the send date on the package. One day after I asked for a refund. Funny that!. Came from NZ though.

Give me the other gate. Won't be dealing with them again!

[Piggaz]

[Piggaz]

Pic of gate for proof!!!!

[NXTIME]

Lol!!!

Your box back in?

Nope......Just got the parts today...finally.

[Piggaz]

Bit of lead time there!

[r32-25t]

Should buy a second gearbox then when it breaks you can drive it while you wait for the parts for the broken one

[NXTIME]

i already did that

[Piggaz]

Group buy on "floater box"

Micky!!!!

[NXTIME]

Just buy a VL then. You can put the block back where it came from.

A little bit of progress over Xmas.We will get there one day!

Thats it's final orientation

Housing to gasket size is atrocious. The manifold to gasket was pretty much spot on.

Micko matched it up. No point having a massive lip!

Dump tacked up. We cut down a 3 to 5 inch expander at 4 inch. The 3 to 4 in the same length was far too long.

View from underneath.

4 inch flexi which will go in the dump
