hahahah thanks - me love compressor surge

basically just look for black soot coming out of the flanges - look at the flanges on the head / manifold - also manifold / up pipe and also up pipe / turbo (this can be hard to see) you can normally hear a exhaust leak - get someone to hold a rag up the tail pipe - this will increase back pressure and make leak louder

Nope, far from it, and I dont post a load of dribble to try and make myself seem like I know everything. 6 years workin on tractors?............try 40 as an engineer......dumbdumbdumbdumbdumbdumb anyone can be anyone in the internet - as showen in this pic Nawww mean

i brad and im only 22 have done my time as a diesel apprentice -done full time engine building -studied advanced engine management - panel beating and the likes at polytec have now changed to being a full time welder + work the lathe and also install the gym equipment we make at work and also carry out inspections have owned various cars - most of my experience is with early wrxs (gc8 and gf8) and RWD nissans which is what i love i dont know shit about twin turbo subys so dont ask me about them LOL

exhaust leak pre turbo will make it feel allot slwoer

WOT?? WOT= wide open throttle you do as said above - install the fuel lines - leave the vac hose off and set to 3 bar (43.5psi) - lock the adjuster up and put the vac hose back on - on idle the pressure will be lower than the static pressure u just set and on boost it will go higher

all ball bearing turbos do it even with the leak fixed - its not a thing specific to VF turbos - its a ball bearing thing - since the shaft can spin so easily - once turned off it takes a while for it to coast back to stopped - hence the noise

easiest way is to get a piece of 5-10mm alloy welded on - drill through the plate and the pipe and tap it out - and clean all the burrs off the inside

Think your missing the point however - vf23 bb - vf8 is journal in pretty sure same as td05 Actually know I think of it - had a turbonetics bb t70 on my old rb30- had no water cooling ports to hook up ?? But in saying that - it's designed to not have it You would need to ask someone who's ran a bb vf without the lines But IMO - they're there for a reason - why remove ?

Murchy man said its ok to run a TD with them off - not sure about vf tho I wouldnt do it unless it didn't have the lines - you would have to make sure oil temp is at op temp before shut down

Thinking back about that thread about the clutch spring - no one believed me that you don't need it Anyways - tht pipe looks horrible of you ask me - the stock one looks like it would flow better because of the cut and weld apposed to nice bends

Sounds like a leak to me and only the AFM is registering the air and more is sucking in the intake resulting in leav mixture (sucking un metered air) To me - if AFM wiring was bung - it would run same with AFM off as it would on Or if wiring was dodgey - it would intermittently be changing

Also td05h isn't only a sti turbo - it came on jdm sedan v2 wrx too

Per face lift normally means Ver 1-2

dayuum son thats expensive i ran one of those ecus and pretty sure i only paid 250 from strongs

anyone with a milling machine bro - engine rebuilders / head specalists can do it - same way they skim heads - some general engineering shops may have it but probably not

changed my clutch - changed gearbox oil - fixed a leak on the gear box - adjusted master cylinder - fixed the botched up threads on the x member - boy i love that insane clutch grip

smaller maf tube would make it run richer wouldnt it ?

dont use mild steel ! thats cave man styles it will rust on the inside DUHH stainless - meh - heavier than alloy and alloy can disipate heat alot faster

was crack up watching that vr4 a few years back at taupo - blowing diffs like nothing

this ^^^^ ducting the stock air box to the front of the car will give same IAT as making a box probably work better as all the air will be going into the intake - instead of filling the box

pretty much - but buying parts is very relevant to drifting - LOL - cos your allways gonna be buying replacements !

lol for starters how ever - if you were looking for something r33 specific - you know other vehicles parts fit right?? but anywho - wreckers are wreckers - buy cars for chips - sell parts for moon beans and make 1000000x profit on each car

The easy solution that will work Make either a sealed box - or a box that only has one wall that seals on to the bonnet - remove the factory snorkel crap and run a flexi tube from the front into the box Works very well and you won't have the problem of the filter getting wet and getting all dirty from road crustations
