I like either, but a single bar won't do, a large multi packet will be a better prize
-
Ok there will be a settlement for the winner. What shall it be?

My guess is 530awkw

Went and retuned a car today, on an actual dyno, not my dyno though. Made 300rwkw at 15.5psi, so a good result. Also my car is frigging animal, I'll put it on the dyno soon just to see how accurate my arse dyno is

I currently drive a 66mm turbo with stock cams and a high stall, it's on so early I would happily go up a size or two with the turbo.

ZF issues in TTG - terminal lack of foward motion
Puffwagon replied to boyracer's topic in Territory Turbo
Cheers mate, it goes pretty hard. There's no fluid level sensor in the trans, just the temp. In my experience, which includes a lot of actual workshop experience, you need to top them up when they're cold. I know the manuals say different, but I do what I know works. -

I went to ebay and typed in Falcon caliper kit and this was one of many listings. Use a pair of multi grips to remove the piston. That bit on the sump is from when the sump was cast in the foundry. If you are adamant that it is leaking from there then you can either get it welded, chuck some JB weld or fuel tank putty etc over it.

This is not how you check the level. It has to be dead cold and then you check it, you are probably 600mL to 1L low on fluid still. Do this before you pull the trans apart. -
My wg pipe is 2.5 inch/63mm, so it might be a bit tighter than yours. I'd already hammered the fark out of the dump years ago to get clearance. I have a 3 piece dump, one small bit from the turbo (3 inch) to the 4 inch top part (90 degree), then there is a second lower part that has the wg tube receiver (also 90), then the cat goes onto that, then intermediate muffler section, then up section, then the over the cradle section, then rear section with resonator. It's all vbands and can be difficult to line up perfectly the first or even third try. Just gotta put it together and adjust it as needed. Nothing is banging or rubbing now so we'll see how long that lasts.

Well it was today. My dump pipe goes down one side of the steering column and the wg dump tube goes down the other. Because it is tightly packaged and if you don't line sh*t up perfectly, the dump or the wg pipe will touch the steering column. Because I was in there yesterday frigging around with it all, the wg tube was touching the steering column. I pulled the wg tube off today, gave it a squish in the press and put it back in, problem solvered.

Indeed. Did some car fixing today, 2 steps forward, one step back. Oh well I'll have another go at it tomorrow and it'll be sorted.
