👍I like it! I'll get another one and do the same

No worries will do, thanks 👍

Throttle shaft seal through Ford?

Has anyone had issues with the cover that goes here going missing? I replaced it a couple of weeks ago and it's gone again. It must be when under boost as it clips in firmly, is there a seal or something that goes?

Hi, I have a similar setup to you and only got 350kw as well. Did you change anything to get more power?

Thanks for everyone's input. I have great respect for the tuner and my engine builder, I know things can be overlooked but I feel this is something I have not done properly or missed, or a poor ancillary part I've used. The engine does run warmer it used to sit halfway between 1/4 and 1/2 mark and now it sits a couple needle thicknesses below the 1/2 mark at cruise. I put it down to being a new engine but have a decent gauge on the way to monitor actual temp of coolant. Oil temps I'm not sure, I might try to get an OBD reader to check. I removed the I/c inlet pipe and used a bore scope to visually check for any possible blockage - all good. I can't really check my muffler without cutting it off to see if it's collapsed so I think I will buy a new one and have it installed. One thing I noticed was the PCM was too hot to hold your hand on when I got home after a long drive - temp gun said 70deg. The Plazmaman piping (which runs right by) was quite hot too, I think it's from the the thermo fans blowing straight onto it, not sure if this is normal? Aaron @JETURBO have you had a chance to look at the mods list? Thoughts? Edit: convertor is stock stall speed but a stronger built unit, not much more info on that unfortunately.

I think that's what came with the pistons when he ordered them. Ellis Engines up here in Bundy, very good to deal with would recommend 100%

Specs of pistons, we did use a slightly thicker head gasket than the 20 thou specc'd on the sheet so compression just under 9:1

I'll give it a go Keith, thanks

Forgive my short responses I can still only post a few words at a time - so weird. Boost control is through an Eboost street as I'm using the RTV pcm. He did mention something about a characteristic of the convertor at low rpm but no dramas with boost control.

I'll find out comp from builder, piping from turbo to I/c is 2.5".

Mods list: Built BA engine GTX3582gen2 39mm iwg, B series manifolds, 4" dump 5" cat twin 2.5" exhaust. PW stage 2 cooler Plazmaman turbo side intake and cold side piping. PW surge tank, 1000cc id injectors GFB fuel reg. Ford coils and gas .7 plugs. Built trans not slipping or getting hot. That's the basics

Thanks Keith, don't know what's going on I'll try to fix.

Could an Admin please have a look at my account I can't post more than 1 line on my phone or PC

Ok thanks Jet will do. The forum or my phone is giving me some grief but I'll post up asap.

Why can't I post more than 2 sentences? Toms making bulk power, same climate and similar fuel. I want to find what's holding it back but aside from changing to BP I'm a bit lost where to start looking to be honest.

It is fun to drive but the effort involved and the $ spent to go from 260kw on the last engine to 350kw on this one is enough to make ones eyes water lol.

Well it drives great, I've just driven the 400k home. I really don't have much to compare it too though except my old 400hp XY and that was a few years ago. Clint did say he notices a difference between Caltex and BP 98 but I doubt it would be the main issue here of being 50+ kw down. Ok my post was too long it seems. It's in a BA RTV and I'm using an eboost street as boost control, I wired it to see rpm in case he needed to use boost correction but he didn't need it so I think that means boost dropping of in the higher revs was not an issue? The engine is getting 19psi through the PW cooler so the charge is there or is it not that simple?

Sorry guys I've had no end of trouble trying to post...

This is good timing as I've had my tune done as well, same climate in sunny Brissy. My setup is GTX3582gen2 1.06 39mm iwg B series manifold. Running Caltex 98 fuel and a BTR 4 speed and a built engine. We did see 380kw which was pretty great but 350kw is where it was happiest and the issue was keeping timing into it. It's a blast to drive but there is a huge difference in the graphs and I would like to hear your guys thoughts on the difference between the 2 setups. The G35-900 must be a good bit of gear but I expected to see a bit more out of the GTX than what we got. Clint said he would usually expect to see around the 380 mark with this setup. I have not had allot of experience with turbo cars or reading graphs. This is at 19psi.

7/16 UNF to -4 JIC, they come with a tapered end from enzed

Thanks mate I'll see how I go

Could somebody tell me what the lower fitting is? It's the fitting that screws into the oil feed port on the turbo (GTX3582 gen2). The top of the fitting is -4 JIC but I'm guessing the bit that screws into the turbo is metric? I've over tightened it in my old turbo and I don't want to damage the thread on my new turbo. I need one asap...
