ENVY-T

Yep that's the one.

Okey dokey. I have burnt a copy, it says Ver.15 on the sat nav disc info screen, but the roads seem outdated compared to my V14? Wierd thing is, on V14 eastlink is known as eastlink but in certain areas along the road the car must turn into a hovercraft as it moves onto neighbouring streets lmao. But V15 remains true to the road but it is known as the scoresby highway, which was the name given to it 15 years ago when land was set aside for it's eventual construction. So I don't know? It is also 1/3rd of the size in data than V15.

I have V14, do you have a linky to where you got v15? I have burnt many v14 without issue. You need a dual layer disc and appropriate burner. Link me and I will rip u a copy.

The search button is your friend. This has been covered 11ty billion times.

Madone! Was anyone chasing you down the strip, like a croc in a swimming pool makes swimmers go faster?

I just throw the keys to the wife or kids and tell them to go start it.

With someone holding it locked to one side, click open the cap and then re-close. Repeat on the other side.

Also if you have not done it, earth the battery somewhere in the boot. If the earth line is too long it can cause issues.

I can't believe the young fella who used to call shotgun in everyone's car for cruises. Now I know it's been to long on here.

Nup. Never done before, you are entering uncharted waters. Good Luck. I think the issue is somewhere between the hidden wire and the polariser.

Sorry wtf did you say? Can't hear ya, the stereo's made me deaf! Lend it to the yanks for torture in Iraq.

Sounds alot like valve spring issues to me. What year is the car? Does it already have them changed?

Any of Quickies threads leave me, well, er, enlightened for want of better words!

Hey Quicky I'll let you in on a secret.... If you lay on your arm till it goes dead, it feels like someone else is doing it!

Why does this clearly inbred poster get away with quoting? Cmon Buff and Trent get out the axe. LMAO On topic, I think your polarizer white have sh*t itself mate.

Back on topic... GHEY! I saw a VZ crappie in Sale and it was wearing a VE GTS kit, FMD I had to laugh. It looked like it came out of a lego box!

Yes you can clean it, but what an abfab f*ckoff job that would be every 6 months.

Hurry, get the fire extinguisher! No there is no fire, just throw it at him!!

So after replacing the oil feed filter at the block, I took the filter from the old one out and had a looksee, pictures tell the story.

lol

So we gonna have more hektic cars now? FG/BA HYBRID turbo. Isn't Hybrid short for fully nutz? lmfao

All up the rebuild cost 1584. New Housing New bearing cartridge All seals Balance All studs, nuts and gaskets were supplied New oil inlet filter for the block From Ford I spent another 170 odd on a dump gasket,copper washers and the biggest expense, 126 bux was a new oil feed line. It looks like a brand new turbo.

*PICS*

You're not wrong! I will get some pics of the old one. 4 stud holes had cracked to the outside edge, and when a stud was screwed into it at stone cold temp, the crack would open, imagine it at a 1000 degrees plus! Hence one of my bolts completely missing also. There was a crack to both sides of the wastegate port, one to the inner of the exhaust housing, another just under the port on the inards of the housing. The original was opened up by Danny. The FG measures perfectly round is approx 1.5mm smaller than what my original was opened to. We think it will spike badly, as Danny also shapes the path for flow. Interestingly though, in having a chat to Peter at Rotomaster I learned they had the Ford engineer who designed the turbs, visit, and he said that at factory boost levels, they run at 900 degrees and are subject to crack at anything over 1000. Controlling EGT is what saves them from cracking. The Garrett man said that drilling a small hole and placing a probe in the exhaust housing, just above where it joins the manifold, and live monitoring the temps helps avoid to high a temp.

Picked up the turbo after the rebuild by Rotomaster. When I dropped it off he said that the FG flapper was bigger than the ba/bf. FMD he wasn't kidding! It's almost as big as what is done in the modifying of them. And look at all that seat space, could still be made bigger again.
