you don't need a friction modifiers for hypoid gearboxes anymore. there are plenty of gearbox fluids nowadays that are lsd friendly.

My my my......
has been a an eventful last few months, but 3000ks later and the Turbosauras is going good and strong.. finally after getting the motor finished, exhaust on, wiring done [by Mad Mat, huge thanks as i made it hard for him :P] and i thought it was finished sadly i got maybe 300ks out of the motor before i lost all oil pressure one night, stopping immediately, i got it towed home and began searching for the problem first thing was to drain the oil...... found many metal chunks in there then the sump came off and everything LOOKED ok, then i gave the rods a wiggle...... all four of them had more play than the turbo did, was not looking good i thought it was dead. it sat for about a week, then i worked up the strength to pull the motor back out. with the motor out i began disassembling the bottom end, first off was the oil pump with obvious signs of metal being forced through it. next was the rod endcaps and bearings end caps and rods were ok, bearings were ruined main bearings and caps were in the same shape pulled the crank out and had it measured, was well out of round and spec would appear that when the shop measured the crank and supplied the bearings to the guy who built the motor messed up [buggers tried every excuse not to cover under their warranty]

Appeared a Wild BP Block!!
i eventually was given an N/A block from matt that he had laying around and its crank was perfectly good!! Project-R [or DJ RyRy Apparently] knows this block VERY well $90 for a complete set of NDC bearings, $100ish for a new oil pump and new fluids smash it all back together in time for a car show and its going strong Smashing Type-R Civics, Turbo skylines and the occasional SS on only 5 Psi Boost always makes me laugh Sooooo Yeah, been a great year, bring on 2016 HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYBODY!!

Hey mate, hope it is coming together smoothly now for you, Matt was telling me of the rod carnage.
Edit: bearing carnage i mean! I heard something about nasty damage anyway. Was quite distracted looking at Matts engine bay while he was telling me.. Last edited by ghetto3; 05-01-2016 at 10:42 AM. |

yes and no..
just little issues now, i.e stalling when cold, no power when cold, stuttering while cruising at any temp ect.. something interesting though, found out the other day that im using N/A [beige top] injectors, they came on the motor and i never noticed it lol got BPT ones coming in the mail is quite beautiful is it not?

I used N/A injectors with a 200kw atw setup, so they're quite usable.
