discostig Manual mode ________________________ All day, erryday Donating Members 13,798 Member For: 17y 2m 2d Gender: Male Location: Probably above atmospheric pressure Posted 18/09/14 06:19 AM Share Posted 18/09/14 06:19 AM (edited) XFT... no input shaft. Mine is 99% and if I haven't broken it yet Simon reckoned I am not gonna.But he looked after me on price and basically did a stage 2 box build good for way more power than I ever plan to have.If the shaft does ever go I'm gonna see what that shaft Ralph Wiggum posted about can do for me (some part from the US much cheaper than the billet jobs on sale in Aus).Mine was pretty much missing all of the clutch material on some of the rings and he said the pistons were possibly nearing the end of the sleeves or something that sounded catastrophic...don't let it go for as long as I did! Quote from him when they opened my ZF after I rattled flex plate off at the drags which prompted the rebuild:"Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu*k. How it even went down the track..."

I just wanted to reach like 300 rwkw and not have the same xr6t as everyone else on the street. Like just the basic mods to give it a lil more power and a better sound.

On a second note should the oil line connecting to the turbo be cleaned or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A replacement filter & braided line is much cheaper than a new turbo, and great peice of mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like just the basic mods to give it a lil more power and a better sound.Go with what Buf-Phoon and I have suggested and you'll be fine. Take your time trawling through ebay, Gumtree and the various Facebook pages for second hand parts and you should be able to pick up a good brand intercooler with piping for around $1000. A new high flow cat wasn't cost too much however I have seen factory dump pipes with a high flow cat sell for $200 on ebay before. Saves you cutting and welding your current one. Fuel pump I would buy new just for reassurance. They aren't too dear anyway. Talk to your tuner before buying injectors as they all have their preferences when it comes to tuning. Plus some tuners will charge you to have the injectors flow matched if you haven't purchased the injectors through them. First and foremost I would be swapping your turbo oil feed line to an 'earls' one with the external filter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gonna change the oil feed line on saturday. So far I've basically;serviced my car oil an oil filter change (using fully synthetic oil, think the brand was nuovo) cleaned out the actuator using wd40cleaned the injectors using some additive from super cheap auto, just added it when I filled upis there anything else I should do in terms of maintaining the engineer and other parts?
