    how much boost and hp CAN a stock hg take anyway

    JDM: If everything was perfect I can't see a stock gasket blowing from cylinder pressure. Flat surfaces, good hardware correctly torqued, good tune, no detonation if any of these are missing it will die in seconds!

    Oil line BLEW UP!! backwards?

    Ok this is getting ridiculous...... Dude if you don't understand a Mod DON'T do it....... I read on www.doityourselfvasectomys.com you could do it with a scapel and needle n thread I'm NOT about to hack my nuts with a box cutter.... Shaeff used 6>7mm and it worked but every single motor...

    Just how reasonable is the speed limit?

    Amazing but no surprise! Here the powers that be have decided a 3% margin for error is a good thing as it allows the speed cameras to raise more money! 110 kph ok 113.3 busted! never mind the Australian design rules for speedo accuracy is a 10% error.....

    Oil line BLEW UP!! backwards?

    See the pic below there is only 1 of these that's NOT on an NA block (the one in front of the filter mount) and you can use any of them as the Oil supply for a Turbo. I said in Shaeff's thread on shimming the pump that 5mm is the maximum safe thickness...... (I run 4.8mm) No Where in the...

    Oil line BLEW UP!! backwards?

    Jimi: No idea really! This is the same guy that asked the serious question "Where are the head bolts?" so who knows..... I was just having a guess at what he's done based on the symptoms ;) (A bit of a clue is Turbo's DON'T have "seals" as such like a rubber lip seal they're a...

    JE vs stock pistons

    Don't think Brian or I said anything about Forged outlasting Cast that I can remember my point was built correctly Forged will give good service life. If I get 75>100.000 KM's from a performance motor I'm ecstatic and don't mind chucking a fresh set of pistons at it!

    Oil line BLEW UP!! backwards?

    If he's shimmed it solid like I suspect (coil bind) and is running 20w50 he could have seen 160 psi on that start but as soon as the filter pops the pressure drops.......
