That wing's gonna look pretty good once you trim back those middle spikes a bit.

Yeah, the tool I bought is for import auto and motorcycle valves. It worked pretty well, and also came with a magnetic valve lock remover.

Well, I finally did get that chance to work on the motor again, but first I needed to do a tuneup to the car, because I failed emissions(NOx was too high). I replaced the plugs, dialed back the fuel pressure to stock, reset the ignition timing, as it was at 16 degrees by accident, and removed...

werd- this happened to me, car wouldn't drive any faster than 20mph, blowing massive black smoke, and turbo revving to a kajillion rpm.

Well, I'll try to take a few next time i'm within 5 miles of the head. Dunno when I'll get a chance to get back over there for more work.

Well, I'm not sure, but I might be the first guy to get the Probe piston installed! Notice I didn't say pistonS, as I've only gotten one in so far. :crazy1: What I did today: Picked up the block from the machine shop Went to Jarco to chat with those guys for a bit Stopped into the Toyota...

I second what Doward said, depends on the Ebay type you got. I have the Tial knockoff, and it has never leaked to my knowledge, and will vent during shifts as low as 1psi. PS- Starscream- I love that Synapse BOV, looks awesome.

Like the thread says, I was wondering how you actually treat carbon fiber, and form it. Is it worked in a similar fashion to fiberglass weave, in that it is used with a epoxy or polyester resin? I was just wondering if it was that easy, as it seems that it would make more sense to work with CF...

That can be adjusted though, just like on the MkIII's, right?

Yup- Like he said- they might even be able to WIDEN the hole slightly, to weld in an AL bung that matches the original size, instead of top mounting it, causing it to sit higher than stock.

you're sure it's not rod knock??

how much of the interior pieces will you be re-installing on this car?

Dumb question, but are you sure you've got the right bolt? Is it possible you're comparing the bolt hole to a banjo bolt belonging to some other part of the motor? Like I said, it was a dumb question.

I was wondering if maybe a stuck-open intake valve would cause this as well?

Well, my mini-race was from a stop, so you can imagine how my results were worse.

Yep. I was also looking for the "internal wastegate". but couldn't see it. Update- I see he changed the description to external WG...

As for your original question, I would expect you to make about 300-330HP on low boost(~10psi) with that setup, provided the engine is fresh, as stated above.

Usually rodknock is something you hear on light throttle between 2500-3500rpm, and it sounds like a faint jackhammer during hard acceleration if it's gotten bad enough. if you just put it in neutral, and rev it lightly to 3000, listen to it with the hood open, and if it sounds like a sporadic...

I've also heard of the wet tissue trick. Same idea as the grease, it's just perhaps a bit more forceful, as the tissue is more of a solid than the grease.

I count possibly four items in the description which I think are wrong... See if you can name them. I already emailed the seller, asking for verification of some of the info in his auction...
