Loads of little things to do, just need to put some time aside to do them (JDM hazard might, route Mic properly for phone, etc.) but for sure need to.
February 21, 20178 yr Well bottom end just gone time to take the engine out again!!!! Sent from my GT-I8190 using Tapatalk Out again? Did the head gaskets about a month ago Sent from my GT-I8190 using Tapatalk
February 22, 20178 yr Drove 250mile to brighton.well happy with car it never missed a beat.got to do it all again later to go home. Sent from my LG-D855 using Tapatalk
February 22, 20178 yr Took the old gc8 for mot and passed with flying colours , i did have to overhaul the front 4pots on monday though as the pistons were seized, probably a side effect of being parked up for the winter but hey ho alls well that end well
February 22, 20178 yr Removed and cleaned throttle body. No hesitation at any revs and no struggle after changing up. Acceleration improved aswell. Though I was met by a lovely little oil puddle in the top of the manifold. Time to sort out a half decent catch can can't find much online so will probably just make one :D love a tinker
February 22, 20178 yr yeah i have a cheap version to check out but need a can with 3 in 3 out. otherwise ill need 3 seperate cans which seemed a bit mad unless thats what people usually do?
February 22, 20178 yr catches the oil out of the breather hoses instead of sending it back through the air intake i believe. not sure if theres more to it than that i just want the oil out.
February 22, 20178 yr Made it back home from brighton with out any problem,apart from traffic problems.500mile car done me good.bigtest tommorow, mot time [emoji53] Sent from my LG-D855 using Tapatalk
February 22, 20178 yr I've also been looking at catch cans and from what i've read they take out all of the oil vapour from the likes of the breather pipes like you said and oil blow by, which is the oil passing the seals on the turbo when running higher boost the oil vapour then gets recirculated back through the inlet and messes about with the octane rating of the fuel and can cause detonation, @aucky don't worry mate i'm sure the motor will pass no probs especially if my old v1 wrx can pass with no advisorys
February 23, 20178 yr Author The propper way to go would be two cans, one for pcv/tb and the other for the heads most people just use one and tee into the other lines Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk
February 23, 20178 yr I was advised to "t" the 2 cam breathers together to equal the pressure between the "banks" . Dunno if there's any truth in it tbh ,especially as the oe oil breather pipework "t" 's crank and right hand head breather together anyways . Either way if you do track days ,running higher hp or just like squeezing the throttle on the exit to corners I think it's a worth while mod to lessen the chance of det . As for me n my old shed spec scooby today I be mostly embarrassing a nearly new 1 series m35i on a slip lane .

February 24, 20178 yr Pick car up from sss after its yearly check up.mot passed flying colours for another year.[emoji3] Sent from my LG-D855 using Tapatalk
February 24, 20178 yr Bought some clear side repeaters and indicator lenses. Then popped out for a little drive to a local car paint shop to get bits to de-orange the car, spruce up the alloys and clean the engine bay and pipes
February 24, 20178 yr They were brilliant. Had everything I need and we're very helpful. Got a cuppa out of them to. I did get some shocked looks by the men shopping in there when I tottered in in my high heels. It was almost a ooooo a woman in a man's shop look. The bloke behind the counter knew me and chuckled.
