What turbo are you running now ?

Steve

MrC

T34.63 at the moment matey but it's boosting on its limit at over 2 bar, hence I need a bigger turbo to handle the 83lbs injectors

MrC

just thought i'd update the thread with the recent drama

had the engine quit on me recently and pulled it apart to find this.









Hole in the valve, hole in no2 the piston, and started to melt no 3 piston plus it had a chip missing off the crown,

Inlet gasket looks was the cause, it had split :-( and fired out the side.

luckily the rest was checked and not scored the bores, crank was ok and everything else was fine.

MrC

sent the engine off to be rebuilt by none other than the wizard dave pritchard on here.

all new bits put in and ready to go back in



bottom pulley was cracked so need to source another one, if anyone can help me out on that, that would be superb



the car looking sorry for itself ready to be risen from the ashes


also the car is getting converted to RWD as the 4x4 transmission is on borrowed time.

so looking forward to that.

christ you have had some bad luck engine wise with that daz, class car tho who suspects a primera eh? needs a cd hanging from rear view and a tissue box on parcel shelf for full sleeper look lol

gingerturbo

iTrader: (2)

What a tool, bit poo about the engine diying but the new build one looks tidy, rwd is the best route....seeing a primera on full lock we be something else lol

MrC

when i last rebuilt it i used genuine gaskets, so never going down that route again, all cosmetic now so should be ok.

was thinking of turning up to pod in a full burker when its done

MrC

Sorry to rub salt into the wound but I have never had a H/G go on me.

Check your fuel pump wiring and get it mapped correctly when it's all built back up again.

Steve

MrC

It was the rubber inlet gasket Steve that went, Head gasket was fine
