    OMGWTF Oil filter blew up, and killed my turbo/motor

    yeah, i have not been driving it. im going to keep it in the same condition as right after it happened. if they want to do oil analysis to prove that it blew when i say it did then im fine with that. plus, i still may be rebuilding this actual motor so i want to keep the damage to a minimum. im...

    OMGWTF Oil filter blew up, and killed my turbo/motor

    OMGWTF Oil filter blew up, and killed my turbo/motor

    So, im driving out of the parking lot at my work today, and i heard a hissing sound, and then a wierd squirting sound. i didnt make the connection at first, but it occurred to me to look at my oil pressure gauge, and sure enough it was at zero. i whipped my hand up to shut the car off, and...

    ebay exhaust mani's

    well, niether of those will work with stock turbo or exhaust. those manifolds have t4 flanges on them, and require an external wastegate also.

    quick interior question

    the hard-rubberish insulation comes off nicely if you let a piece of dry-ice sit on it to harden it up and then chip it off with a chisel/scraper/screwdriver and a hammer. makes it a real easy job

    Quick turbo question

    the whine is from not having the turbo spin-balanced after reassembly. it is necessary for something turning almost 100,000 rpms

    replaced carrier bearing and now a new shake!

    wiggle present in the steering wheel at high speeds would be involving the front 2 tires. out of balance, rim with excessive runout, bubble in the tire, warped rotors, or sticky calipers. when first starting off, i really need to know what a "wiggle" is. is it shaking side to side? just a...

    ? about boost leak

    the best way is to cap off the pipe that goes to the throttle body, and cap off the turbo inlet. find a way to get an air fitting on one of the caps and pressurize it to about 20psi. there should be no leaks at all. doing it this way makes it pretty easy to find where the leak is. if this test...

    brakes for a drifter

    uh... no. drilled or slotted rotors can not be cut on a brake lathe. it will break the carbide bits used to cut. i tried that once and had to replace some expensive parts at my work.
