Yep. But I gotta pull the blown rear turbo off first so I can get to the old filter.

I wanna relocate my filter! So future jobs wont be such dickjobs..

Same with me, GB on re-locating filters (oil and fuel)

Bahh! Oil filter is fine... its the fuel filter thats the dicksluts... its like its in a mechanical cage

No matter, this arvo Im off to buy a blow off valve. The lack of is whats killing my turbos.

Oh, were you getting some hectic vl flutter actionz uleh

Nope, silent plumb back into air box. Be even quieter than before

Try doing the fuel filter from under the car on ramps.The only thing is the fuel runs down your arms.

Yeah of course, I meant do you think the vl flutter uleh/compressor surge was what killed your turbos originally?
Could you actually hear it going back through?

Yep, thats exactly what killed them.. the Uleh!

The snap shut of the throttle body would cause the turbos to come to a sudden stop (which inturn sheared the shaft) & gave the whoop-ish! sound originally. 18 pounds had no where to go!

More piccies of the fuel setup. Had to step up from 1/4" line, to 5/16".

lol, go the Jaycar crimp connectors.

Thats mighty thick hose you have there Bennoz!

Thats one bad ass setup

Wiring & relay in

Tested the system last night & f*ck me dead, it moves some fuel!! I watched the tank level go down a good inch in seconds

Will move even more when I get the intank feeder pump replaced, only got a stock one in there for the moment till the replacement Walbro arrives.

And here I was wondering what do with my blown rear turbo...

Do I bite the bullet & pay the $400 (minimum) to have it rebuilt? Or do I pay the $700 and buy a brand new one out of Japan?

Or better yet, for $495, lets buy 2 new ones (front & rear) off Ebay!

fkn win

Saw some on there a while ago for $300 but they were in pretty sh*t condition.

Yeah saw those. Problem with second hand ones is that they are bit of a lucky dip. Last ones only lasted 2 hours

Anyways, the new ones have arrived in Aus & have cleared customs, so should have them in the next day or 2

Hi ben I have a question reading through your thread and looking at the amount of work which you have done is kind of scarry especially to the in experienced.
Now if I was to look at the 6A13 conversion other than intalling the engine in your opionion what other work would have to be done as far as the conversion is concerned to get the car up and running and reasionably reliable.
Ive seen the amount of work and money whch you must of put into building yours, im not really interested in building a race car but I would love my fto to run a turbo one day.
Thanks

I reckon 8 grand mate. 8 grand would get you a reliable 150-160kws at the front wheels (that includes the purchase price of the motor too.)

If you left the motor stock (which I originally wanted to do) I reckon you'd have a very pleasant little sleeper.

Ok aside from buying the motor what else would be included in the 8 grand that I would have to buy?
Thanks
