My head gasket blew recently, I had my mechanic replace it but he used the old head bolts. After a month something went horribly wrong, after a drag race the car died, struggled to start again and did not want to idle. There was milky oil in the oil cap so I took the head off and the gasket...

My ep82 blew a head gasket between 2 and 3. I took it to my mechanic who replaced it, he also measured the head for warpage with a straight edge and couldnt see significant warp. Got the car back, ran OK for a few km's (20km max) but had a whissling sound at low boost. Then suddenly it all just...

Over the last couple of weeks it has happened 3 to 4 times. When I got into the car there was this beeping coming from near the driver door. I've had the car since 2006 and this is the first time this has happened. It happened 2 to 3 times at the driver door and might have happened once near the...

I got me a Garrett GT2556R of a R34 GTR (which uses 2 of them), it has an internal oil restrictor, looks like about 1.5mm. I think this might be too big, maybe go down to about 1 - 0.8mm? I still have to get a manifold made, should I go external wastegate or use the internal one? The A/R...

What Turbo?? I seriously need a new turbo. I want something bigger than a stock ct9 but my options are a bit limited. So its between t28/t3, td04h-09b/14, gt1548, k03 etc. What should I do?

So heres a bit of background. When the engine is below normal operating temp it runs fine, but as soon as it reaches operating temp it starts cutting out, like at traffic lights when I pull away, I just touch the throttle and it dies, then struggles but starts, and as you pull a way its as if...

Hey guys I seriously need some help. I took my car in for a head gasket and water pump replacement. After the guys finished the car (ep82) didnt want to start. After searching we found that there is no pulse on the injector plugs. When ignition is on, the positive wire works, but nothing we do...

Hey, can anyone please tell me if this copper gasket I bought has all the necessary holes. I want to use it on my spare 4e. I have not seen a genuine gasket to compare it with. Ok wait, how do I upload an image from my pc?
