Re: What's this "reliability" you speak of? - (Pg. 130) - The Speedfoos' Turbo Thread

Damnit... It's so tempting being fully built to just get the fuel stuff I need and crank it up to 12 psi and go corvette hunting.

Handle-bar mustache would be out of regs for me. Gotta wait another 10 years until I get out. I don't know how Selleck can drive with cowboy boots though. I guess it might make heel-toeing a little easier!
The only thing I'm eating in my car right now is oil. The leak is manageable until I go into boost and then it sprays oil onto the DP. Which is no fun at all. I'm actually getting decent gas mileage right now cuz I can't boost too much. Hose should be here tomorrow though.

Re: What's this "reliability" you speak of? - (Pg. 130) - The Speedfoos' Turbo Thread
I found out what was causing the whistling noise. This was stuck in the turbine:
Yep. It's scientifically proven that a meat stick causes things to whistle. Oh well, it's fixed now. No more whistle at all and that meat stick was tasty!
I freshened up my new (old) pan before sticking it on. It's blingin' silver ya'll.
But once I put the fitting on and test fit it on the block, there was some silver stuff in the way. So I got out my trusty die grinder (I have new one, her name is Ethyl) and got rid of the problem. So much extra aluminum on these blocks. I probably just shave .025 seconds off my quarter mile if I knew how to drive!
But it doesn't leak yet and that's the important part. I ran it for 20 minutes last night while burping the radiator and another 20 minutes today while I cleaned the engine bay and no leaks. No chance to drive it as we went to see the Chinese New Year in London today, so I'll test it on the way into work tomorrow. I'll post some pics of the London stuff in another thread that Momma took.
I did snap one picture with my camera. This one. It just seemed out of place.....

LOL - that meatstick was actually the last of a batch of venison sausage sticks my Dad sent me from this past deer season. Delicioso!
She gets babied in the morning on the way to work (no boost at all), and if she doesn't leak, then I'll ride her hard on the way to the gym after work.

MMM... Venisonnn...
I had my first Vension meat stick not too long ago. It was a memorable experience. It was my first and didnt last very long, but it was well worth the wait.

Re: What's this "reliability" you speak of? - (Pg. 130) - The Speedfoos' Turbo Thread
Jose, it appears to be a problem with the site, vice my thread in particular. I've noticed it on other threads as well. Common denominator seems to be a thread longer than 10 pages.
Update on the car. Oil fittings officially no longer leak! I tested it yesterday - babying it into work like I mentioned. There was a little smoke but didn't appear to be any leaks. So I took the highway route to the gym and drove the piss out of the car. Smoked like crazy once she got good and hot. Stopped at a roundabout and smoke was billowing up both sides of the car. Must have been quite a spectacle! Anyway, the wrap on the pre-cat pipe was soaked in oil which was cooking off. I cut the wrap off and discovered a leak in the 2.5" flex coupler that I turned into a 3" coupler by cutting the ends and the wire off. That flex steel kept melting through when I was welding it to the pipe and there's a couple pin holes. I'm ordering a new piece of 3" flex tonight to just replace it instead of continuing to fuck with it.

It's my personal fight against Mother Nature. I hate the thought of that ozone layer hanging over my head, day after day, just waiting to come crushing down on the Earth. We need to do our best to get rid of it.
