13145AA021 part number for partsouq, 2.88 for the part, probably 20 for shipping.

The one on the oil pump? The ones I saw at pickapart were also missing it, was my first thought also.

What are the wheels? I like them!

Cheers, I'll stick with swapping ratios on my r160.

Tips on the the best way (and the cheapest way) to fit an r180 to a BE5 legacy? I've looked at the suberdave races which look ok, but would v7 hubs and axles work on a BE5?

I'm pretty flexible, Aug/Sep is pretty free for me. By September I may have some good progress on the car!

Pretty aggressive post against someone offering a suggestion and not bagging the product.

I have a kinugawa td06sl2 turbine wheel bought new, direct from the online kinugawa shop. It has no damage to the item, at all, period. I personally witnessed it spun up on a balancing machine. The turbine wheel was not fitted to the shaft square so at low rpm it appears to have a wobble. The backside of the turbine wheel has been machined to balance the shaft. It is far from the same quality of manufacture of a genuine mhi turbine wheel. If you have a balance and a mhi wheel to compare against I'd gladly show you. What do you have?

If you get a kinugawa one make sure you get someone local to take a look (i.e. balance check) before bolting it on. Just a suggestion.

Thanks Ben, and I like idea of tekapo for the next one.

Go on over to the forsale section and check out the holset set-up then.

They had the Nulon 10-40 4L mineral oil for $20 the other weekend, absolute bargain.

I should be able to join too.

Gotasuby ran a bigger holset, I'd ask him, think he had an hx40 forsale.

Manufacturer tow ratings aren't enforceable: https://www.nzta.govt.nz/resources/glovebox-guide-safe-loading-towing/guide-safe-loading-towing.html#howmuch "Most vehicles have tow ratings given to them by the manufacturer specifying the gross trailer weight braked, unbraked, or both, that the vehicle can safely tow. Although the law does not require these tow ratings to be followed, the NZ Transport Agency recommends that they be taken into account." The only enforceable law for lightweight towing vehicle I know of is this: "the law requires that every light vehicle and trailer combination must be capable of stopping within a distance of seven metres from a speed of 30km/h."

How to replace the clutch

Who does your rebuilds for that price?

I'm suspecting you have a twin turbo engine with a sti ecu. (As Ross alluded to above.) The be5a is a 8.5:1 compression where the sti is 8:1. Look at the rear of the passenger side head and see if you have blocked/clamped oil or coolant lines. The intake pipe job sounds rough, post some pics if you can.

I have only used generic filters from the list I mentioned and have never had a problem. I do regularly change my own oil at less than 10k intervals. Just wanted to check if others were having varying success, cheers.

Is there anything wrong with the standard Supercheap/Repco/Ryco oil filters?

You are on wastegate pressure. Check the ecu isn't in limp mode, check for cel codes and then do a full ecu reset. Check you don't have a split intake pipe between the turbo and MAF, test a new MAF is also another option. After a full ecu reset it'll probably boost better until it finds the issue that initially caused it to go to limp mode.

From what i've heard this seems exactly it, the opposing/separating force pushing the driving and driven shaft apart is the weakness in the 5 speed. unless you are adding extra bolts, stronger bolts or additional preload to the bolts i don't see how this will overcome the separation force of the shafts. This may address another weakness, but i don"t believe this to be the main weakness.

Nice work with the enclosure. Only two cents I have to add is that with a rear facing sub you get reflected bass, versus a forward facing sub you get it directly. It could be causing interference with the mid range speakers giving you issues?

Is this document stickied somewhere?

I remember this on my last be5 when I put 4 pots on it, I topped up the clutch cylinder rather than the brake cylinder...
