rasslenny Posted August 4, 2014 Author Share Posted August 4, 2014 everything i have on the car i got on this website buddy... this car has officially emptied my pocket at every turn possible.... i am lucky enough to have lots of friends and family in England that all come home quite regularly.... as for the large bits like the side skirts i had to bite the bullet and ship them down.... the side skirts is going to call for about 3000tt after shipping.... the spats may be 1100tt plus .... front splitter 2000tt....toms front bumper 6000tt its costly .... to get a full body kit down here its going to cost u about 18000tt Quote Link to post Share on other sites

rasslenny Posted August 6, 2014 Author Share Posted August 6, 2014 (edited) arighty people i got an amazing offer that i do not think i can pass up on my tomei turbo and i believe im going to sell it.... i have a garret gt25 and gt28 at my disposal can some one please tell me what they think is the yay and nays to either .... the 25 is double ball bearing not to sure what the 28 is havent gotten the specs yet.... i was loving the spool of the tomei and of the original tdo4 im wondering if the car will become laggy with the gt28.... i know for a fact that the spool on the gt25 will be insane but im wondering if it will run out of juice on me like a ct9 let me hear your thoughts Edited August 6, 2014 by rasslenny Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rasslenny Posted August 7, 2014 Author Share Posted August 7, 2014 (edited) I don't have any explanation for what happened but hear goes .... My oil pressure valve inside the block some how managed to complete shit it's self yesterday ... I mean completely...Was driving home and all of a sudden knock knock knock I was like woah .. Take it into the shop and check the oil and it's silver so bearing has gone ... I have a set of bearing so say ok let's change em and find the cause... Take ioff the sump and number one is knocking and bearing has spun... To make it worse the rod is black like tar and burnt ... So I'm livid ... But we have no idea why... So I continue stripping the engine when the mechanic starts to give the engine that wtf look ... He looks in the oils pressure valve and the entire center of it is gone .... I mean gone...the valve is in the block and it looks fine but it's hollowed out like a slack twatt.... So my engine in essence was driving around with no oil for a couple miles .... Suspicions of the worse hits us and we check the intercooler piping .... Full of oil....so 900£ tomei turbo is caputs....So where does that leave me.... I need a rod ... Hoping scat is nice and will sell me one instead of all four... I need a turbo ... I need a oil pressure valve thingy and i need lots of money ....I'm getting fed up ... I wanted to BURN THE CAR DOWN LAST NIGHT Edited August 7, 2014 by rasslenny Quote Link to post Share on other sites
H_D Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 stick at it and get it fixed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
msg1 Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 Stick at it. You spent too much moolah thus far. Look at it this way, technically you get to build a new engine with a new turbo!!! Do more damage at Drag & Wind...maybe I will join you at the track one day. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

rasslenny Posted August 8, 2014 Author Share Posted August 8, 2014 (edited) oooo man im gutted to hear that !!!!! you can use a 4efe oil valve and fit a washer to iti think i still have 1 of a 4efte here must check i never heard of scat being sold seperate mete ????The local dealer for the rods has a great relationship with his suppliers and some how managed to get them to agree to ship one rod... Don't ask how ... I don't know .... Scat asked for te weight of the rod so just have to get that and I'll be organised .... Taking this opportunity as I'm in the engine to change gaskets seals and piston rings... Clutch plate is changing Upgrading the injectorsTaking the opportunity to change the exhaust finallyWe are fed up of oil being an issue so we are going balls to wall and ensuring this rounds there is no chance of loosing oil pressure Poly bushing all the mountsAnd officially becoming a poor person .... After this if the car wats to blow up it better had straight up blow the fuck up cuz I will not be spending a dime more after this last engine build Edited August 8, 2014 by rasslenny Quote Link to post Share on other sites

wickedep Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 hey mate, sorry i did not ready your whole build. just here and there. how did you end up getting an oil starvation mate (i think this is what you said caused issue with your big end) ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rasslenny Posted September 3, 2014 Author Share Posted September 3, 2014 hey mate, sorry i did not ready your whole build. just here and there. how did you end up getting an oil starvation mate (i think this is what you said caused issue with your big end) ?The oils pressure valve inside the sump some how shat it self and the inside of it fell apart and the spring jumped out... So the only way stuff was getting oil to it was by splashing about of oil in the sump... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rasslenny Posted September 3, 2014 Author Share Posted September 3, 2014 Hey man, have you got the Emerald K6 running yet?? Looking to get one for my EP91 And what sensors you used and didn't use to get it running? Cheers NikI used all original sensors and one extra sensor for the crank provided by emerald them self on request from the emerald tuner in Trinidad .... The oils pump with special housing for the 5e that runs coils was used as it accommodates the crank sensor... An then additional sensors from a Subaru wrx was used as we had them laying about on the wheels for traction control Quote Link to post Share on other sites

rasslenny Posted September 24, 2015 Author Share Posted September 24, 2015 (edited) its been wayyyyyy to long since my last post and the picture is not going to do it justice but that moment is finally here....not completely done but the car is up and running and it has been dynoed and creating very safe but noticeably wonderful gains just a couple things to sort out like having the ecu control the A/C, actually installing the battery box in the trunk instead of having it strapped down with bungee cords and wiring in all the new gauges any how here is a small teaser pic good bye distributor hello coil packs do not hate on the picture the car is extreemly dusty and my phone is shit Edited September 24, 2015 by rasslenny Quote Link to post Share on other sites
