  1. Thats some very good info right there. Very informative, you would get some rep for that. I'm sorting out myself from that predicament too, Moving from a Borg Warner turbo with a big azz back housing to a TD05-18G with hopefully a 7cm turbine (Ebay vendors with Chinese products dont have all the relevant specifics of the item ..... , cant expect much better). What gives me hope is that a friend with a TD05-16G has a larger turbine inlet compared to mine (54mm vs 46 mm). Anyhoo, nice going Bussey. Supposed to be super responsive when done.
  2. Those springs are pretty soft frm my experience. May be even worse for u since u plan to actually put the car thru some corners. Wish u all the best tho.
  3. Lovin the progress. Keep it up & it'll b on the road in no time.
  4. hope thats the problem right there. Removing it on your own, that aint so bad, but re-installing it on your own without the proper tools ....... thats a doozy right there
  5. Absolutely lovin the new swap .... dont even need boost to level the field
  6. What i like about the setup is the custom fuel pump holder. When done that way, you can increase the size of the hard lines that go through the top of the holder therefore increasing the size of the entire fuel supply lines to a true AN8. I have done the mod where i run a AN8 line & use the stock supply line for the return but it's not a true AN8 system as my custom line goes back to the stock AN6 sized fitting on the pump holder as well as the entry to the fuel rail, also AN6 sized.
  7. As they say in Jamaica, "Fashion over Style". It doesnt necessarily make a whole lot of sense but it works, just daring to be different.
  8. Slightly higher power at slightly less boost than normal. Stunning mate.
  9. Checked out the slicks & wheels today. The rims were bent as hell. Carried them straight bk to the guy i bought them frm who accepted them without complain. Bugger knew wat was up all along even tho he say he didnt.
  10. So the spacers were moved from back & fit on the front to accommodate the slicks, car was test driven on them & lo & behold, they had a problem. Even just after moving off & before getting up to speed, a terrible wobble was felt. The whole front of the car wobbled & the steering wheel just oscillated quickly from side to side. This was a no go. I decided to drive the car to get a little heat in the tyres to see if they were just cold or supmn, still the same. When a passenger held her head out & observed the tyre, the wobble could be seen & it felt even worse at hig
  11. Such a difference. Goodness gracious!
  12. Big up Samurailos, show us wats up with the machine. Catch can is 80% complete. from this to this to this Diameter is about 4 inches, height about 6 " or so, filter pipe diameter is 1.73". Just need to weld on 2 or 3 inlet pipes to the can & a mounting bracket, then spray it. I'm thinking a dull black, maybe the wrinkle type. Wat u think?
  13. Parts parts parts Theres nothing as pleasing as acquiring new parts especially when they are obtained at a low price ..... on Ebay ....... with free shipping to Jamaica ........ straight to the post office or u gate ...... no Customs involved DIY catch can Version 1 Search high & low & obtain a piece of 4.5" stainless pipe, slit it & remove a piece to get the desired 4" diameter, tack it, obtain old stainless steel sign, mark out circles, cut out circles, tack onto canister / cylinder, clean up edges, to be continued ............ So bcuz i wanted to go big boy catch can sty
  14. A restrictor was installed in the feed line for two reasons. 1) Online research has shown that high oil pressure & volume to the turbo is one of the #1 one causes for oil to leak into the compressor & turbine housings. I thought my last turbo (TD04) was blown due to the fact that oil was definitely leaking into the compressor housing. Once when the intercooler pipe after the turbo was removed, a small pool of oil ran out of it as well as smears of oil could be seen at the compressor inlet. 2) Since a change of turbochargers, ( TD04 to a bigger unit) i have been experiencing a dro
  15. Team Dynamics has a set of wheels that look just like the OZ Cronos then i assume .......... Nice setup by the way
  16. Hope thats all u need to get it back in the sweet spot bro
