Nah Scotty is in Vic. He was the power cruise champ in the power skids in that green corolla v8 wagon once.

Tough car, shit drive.

Tough car, mad driver!

This is why Aussies do it better

Got a few brand new ones here

Rob, he's a 1%er..... You gotta speak in laymens and general terms otherwise like the old turbo fables that everyone thinks they can build for 2k and how many of them have we ever seen constantly driving more than a week on the road? None of those guys have got their cars together in one piece or have enjoyed them for longer than a month and then thrown them away, sold them for peanuts or given up.

I'm looking for factory like drivability, what's the point of spewing out heaps of unburnt fuel at low rpm over an extra 100hp up top? The T56 will offer such a good spread of ratios that it will more then make up for the short fall in hp.  

The t56 can go to hell with a lot less power. How do you plan on making it strong enough?

Also, if you're after factory driveability, you gotta raise your expenditure. A lot of guys can tune your car to have stupid power at WOT and barely acceptable driveability but if you want that refinement, there are only a few chaps in the country with enough brains and patience to perform a job like that. Most are great at tuning horsepower princesses or brutes on the track but to have something that is ultra refined is limited to a few people.

And these threads keep popping up. x amount of hp for x amount of dollars.

The guys who do it are one offs, they are the exceptions to the rule, they aren't the rule.

99% of blokes will never see 600hp in any type of engine for less than 15k engine alone.

If you're going a 6, then that will buy you your turbo too along with your forgies and other bits to make the engine turn.

Forget about building it for less, it is that ever long fantasy people talk about and as mention 1% achieve. Most of us laymen will fork out a lot more for less power.

on my twin scroll setup i had to run two wastegates, because you need one for each half of the turbine housing.

 

i wouldn't bother on anything else... just seems pointless.

You don't need two, You can run a pipe off each scroll merged into one pipe and run the gate off that.

Kinda like this:

How much water we talking? How did you notice it? If it was by draining the oil? Are you losing Radiator water?

Cold weather can cause condensation very easily. Not uncommon for me to open the cap on my sleeper and to see milky oil in the morning. Dipstick is clean as a whistle whilst engine oil cap and cam lobe milky. 10 mins running and it goes away unless i leave it for 3 days. after 2 years driving the air and oil separator had 20 mls of oil and 500mls of water.

Could very well just be condensation due to cold weather.

Looking at this on the phone so can't read it all. It looks like you've gone to quite a bit of effort. Well done.

I had the same thing years ago and it was a tfi module that was faulty

The xe and efi doesn't have a tfi dizzy.. Fuel only injection control bro.

As mentioned before on fb. Process of elimination.
