The tops of the pistons are fine. On the dyno it wasn't detonating. It actually looks like a bad cast from factory. Here's a few bad quality pictures of the broken piston: Broken Piston

Didn’t hone the bores when putting new rings in, so they didn’t bed in properly. OOPS. Yes yes I know – stupid me. Anyway – pulled the engine apart – as it turns out number 5 middle ring was upside down also haha. Two ring landings on number 6 piston crumbled as I was taking the old rings off...

What size does the 40mm, 50mm etc relate to? Is it the entrance hole size? The exit hole size?

Anyone know the piston ring sizes? i.e. 1.2mm, 1.5mm, 4mm? etc etc??

Here's my maps: MY MAP I made a little video of my dyno. You can really hear the miss through the wastegate around the 3,500-4,500 mark. In the video it sounds like the miss goes away but listening to it in person it was still missing right up to 6,500-7,000rpm but just not as bad. Would...

I cant remember off the top of my head. I'll post it up tonight also. We tried less timing and then a bit more, but it didnt really change much. Only about 1rwkw. I'm pretty sure the problem is my dodgy old leads and maybe a dead plug (they're new but cheap ones). I've got new leads and...

Took my car to the dyno yesterday. Was hoping for +300rwhp. I only managed 240rwhp :cry: on around 11:1 AFR I will scan the dyno sheet tonight. There are a few things I need to sort out. First is the stupid miss caused by dodgy leads. I have to try and source some leads that fit into the...

Who what now?

A 2.5" exhaust, as long as its pretty well made, will flow easy 400hp!

1G-GTE K26 turbo with matching Audi 33mm wastegate 9PSI Audi fuel pump. 1JZ intercooler Stock everything else Oh yeah and W55 gearbox. Made 188rwkw

Who cares what an exhaust sounds like. Get an external and vent it to the world I know I sure as hell don't know what my exhaust sounds like at WOT. All I hear is the screaming waste gate bellowing at my feet (literally) :evil2: :evil2:

HAHA. The turbo will, but I dont think the engine will like 400rwhp too much :evil2:

Doesnt creaping normally mean the wastegate is too small and cant get the gasses out fast enough? So going to a smaller 38 is just going to make the problem worse? Yeah I will see how the dyno goes. I have a feeling it'll be like a snowball effect from around 10psi onwards - i.e. as boost...

Can you use the same "login" or "user name" on 2 machines at the same time?

dyno vids? I love dyno vids :biglaugh: :biglaugh:

Oh I'd love to buy from driftmotion but by the time I've paid for shipping it will cost me more than buying localled :(

Ok next question. As it seems I might upgrade and I'm looking at my options. Being on a budget I'm looking at the "knockoff" style wastegates, similar to the ones found here: http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Motors/Car-parts-accessories/Performance/Other/auction-117600144.htm?p=6 Not...

I'm getting a full tune on the 27th so the dyno guy will have a play around with me, cheers :) And I do hope to get more than 350hp at the engine. But maybe I'll hold it at 300rwhp until a bigger wastegate is found :)

Hey, What would happen if the wastegate I have is too small? Boost creep? I have a fair bit of lag as it is due to large exhaust manifold runners and quite a chunky turbo. I'm only a 2 litre - so I wont need something as big as what you'd find on a 7M or 1J but the one I've got is off an Audi...

.28? as in .28 of an inch? as in 7.1mm? Thats a pretty serious gap :)
