    Thanks, if it wasn't this car it would be another and if it was 200 years ago I would be feeding steroids to my horse and putting wider wheels on my wagon.

    Got back in the gym, it's been a while. Can still bench bw (115kg) for reps, not behd. Can squat bw for 10 reps, meh not behd, not great though. Roughly 60% of the same time last year 😐 Be happy to deadlift 220kg this Xmas, see how it goes.

    Use a fuel pump flow calculator. E85 and boosted are the options you need to tick.

    Elixir fuel pumps are pricey but flow all the fuel. https://www.facebook.com/ElixirPowered/

    Which one? I will more than likely have something lying around that you can have.

    Looks like you got lucky, most of the time the tabs break off. Back together, make sure stuff is lined up and you'll be sweet. Good job on the disassembly, most folks wouldn't be able to.

    A workshop can order that pulsar chra for you and that way the work is warrantied. If you supply a core and a week or month later it's stuffed, you'll have no recourse. Another thing to add, is to remove the turbo oil filter from the block fitting and install an aftermarket oil feed line. It's possible the stock one got a bit blocked and caused or contributed to the failure. I would help you out but I'm about a 10hr drive away.

    Yep it comes apart. With enough googling you'll work it out. Here's a pic of a torque converter installed all the way. I took it out the trans and installed it again, it took quite a few tries to get it in right. If the converter spigot isn't inside the bell housing, it ain't past the inner pump gear. I can say with 99% certainty (internet diagnosing aside) yours was not all the way in.

    If you take the turbo off and remove the core, a turbo shop will charge about $1000 to replace the bearing and balance the turbo. After that you can reassemble it and it'll be done.

    The tabs were what was preventing the engine spinning, as the converter was pushing them into the back of the pump. The might not be completely snapped off but there is a good chance they are still farked, also the back of the pump might have dents or scratches in it now which is no bueno. As for the converter being in the trans properly, I would reevaluate how you checked it, this exact scenario has been played out by thousands of people before and the symptoms and outcomes are all the same.

    You could pull a pump assy out of a na trans and use that.

    Lifted a weight, still strong 💪 Not sure there will be progress on the yearly 1rm this year cos I've been training beers instead of weights. Will give it a crack, might be something left in this old man lol

    You'll find out everything you need to know from that youtube channel, he has several zf6 disassembly videos. If you forget the order of parts, ask a question. I can direct you to several places that show an exploded diagram or other assembly processes.

    The converter isn't in properly and is jammed on the trans pump inner gear. Usually when you do that and bolt the trans fully in, it will snap the tabs off the gear. Trans out, converter out, inspect the gear.

    Yay Tuesday

    Agreed

    One month left until tune prices go back to normal for forum members. Don't contact me for a tune because the credits are nearly $300 and I don't wanna tune cars for $20 lol. Ask me after Xmas so I can afford my usual mi goreng for breakfast 🥞

    Turbo territory in today for engine mounts. Got em done, I'm happy and customer very happy. When you actually know what you're doing and aren't just marketing to people, it's a win win.
  19. Puffwagon
    Good for one decent spurt or two tiddlywinks

    They were fine. Had lunch today, 5 chicken drumsticks and a bag of retro lollies. Lollies are the same as rice right?!

    Some good points there. I'll get a bore thickness tester when the time is right, that way I can check things for myself, rather than just sending a block and hoping it is good. Grout filling will help no doubt, I think I would prefer to sleeve the block and keep the extra cooling capacity for a street car that tows stuff. I know I'm gonna send it again so may as well give it a solid chance of holding together.

    It might the first time you do it, after you've done it a few times it'll take fark all
  23. Puffwagon
    I haven't done it yet, I'll do it on Sunday. Usually takes me 45 minutes for the pair.
  24. Puffwagon
    Yep I told a guy an amount I would do it for and I discounted it for reasons. Going forward I'll just do an hourly rate. Some jobs go easy and some don't.
  25. Puffwagon
    I know what I'm charging but what would you pay for labour for engine mounts?
