TurboNova

Done plenty of engines in my time, so not worried about the job but I am helping a friend out and putting an engine in her 09 corolla 1.8l, she toasted it by driving with a busted oil pan. Any thing thats a known pain in the dick or things to look out for when doing the R&I? I think alldata shows around 15 hours for the job, so it should not be too miserable I am thinking...

Heading back to the dyno again this week to get the tune worked on from the the fuel pump change. I changed a couple things on the car as well. Got rid of those shitty GMPP valve covers and picked up a set of quality Nasty Performance Billet covers. I got the Kurt Urban vapor system all plumbed in and got the new breather line ran from the valley cover. Trying to get everything all together for this weekend goodguys hot rod show. http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y216/1972nova/b3fb4813.jpg http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y216/1972nova/4696a24f.jpg http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y216/1972nova/IMG_0459.jpg http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y216/1972nova/IMG_0461.jpg http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y216/1972nova/IMG_0460.jpg

that is sick

very cool

my gti has an ever so slow leak once a year I recharge it for 10 dollars. Just hook the can up, start the car and turn the ac on. Screw the plunger in until it pierces the can, back the screw out and the can contents should pull in and the compressor should engage if everything is ok. Especially for vw stuff those components are expensive especially for a small leak. But if you do have a leak those cars are very well known for leaking around the H block (expansion block right where the lines go into the cabin to the evaporator) if you pull that plastic cover off from around that and see a bunch of pag oil in the foam then you have found your leak (if not one of them)

Thanks, I really think this is the ticket, my only other option is tighter ring gap and/or vacuum pump

Ended getting a bung welded in breather and the vally cover, then welded a little tray under it to shield oil misting. Hoping to just help breathing under heavy boost pressures. New valve covers from nasty performance will be here Monday then see how it goes. http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y216/1972nova/5825429a.jpg http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y216/1972nova/5db5e038.jpg http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y216/1972nova/da69c2ca.jpg

^possibility. I dont really think the blow by is an issue. I think I just need to figure out how to get it managable under boost. Im going to try this valley cover vent, put everything back together and go back to the dyno early next week. If things go south again Ill just take my time for the rest of the year going through some research and try it again next year. I have accomplished alot in 2 years and starting to get burned out and tired of spending $

man I would love to have a dry sump, but Im done dumping money at this point, its been a long 2 years for me. My plans are to put a -10 inside of valley cover and build a baffle tray underneath it do oil cant just get sprayed directly into it and hopefully it just acts as a crankcase vent without to much misting. My guess on my setup is with the manufacture ring gaps for boost and running e85 on high boost my blowby is more than the 2 -10 valve cover vents will take care of. Either way I will give the valley cover a shot if it creates to much of a mess ill put a cap on it and go from there

Lol I don't think there is a problem one with the motor it's just venting crankcase. It's an age old problem on these cars. Alot of big power cars run a vac pump to pull out the covers. I just need to decide to vent valley cover or not. The only place it leaked from was shitty valve covers and that was because of not being able to tighten them with the all pro heads The valley gasket could of been weak, but I'm Not naive to think it also gave way due to crankcase pressure just need a solution and it's hard to get concrete info How was yours before dry sump?

Yup it's e90 all the time but I've only bought about 40 gallons do far

To be honest I don't know.... I have two -10. One on each cover I feel I should vent the valley cover but have mixed reviews and there is a ton of oil there

thanks. I should just settle for the numbers I have its more than enough power but I guess I just want 4 digits and ill be happy

Both good and bad occurred today.... Picked the car up from chassis shop after having some brackets made up for some parts and then having some custom fab fuel pump things finished. The cable drive system is bad ass. Even sitting over night and with the tune untouched from the electric pumps the car fires up almost instantly or very little cranking. Took the car over to Dynotune and had brian look at the tune (needed much work due to the new fuel pump) but its a good thing my injector duty cycles will go down by more than 30-40% Got it up on the rollers brian worked with the tune a bit and got it starting real easy and made a couple pulls on the wastegate spring. 6 psi the car made 570whp which is a great improvement. The bad: Oil leak had to cut the dyno short until next monday. For some reason I reused a very old (150k plus) valley pan gasket and not sure if crankcase pressure took its toll or what but it started pissing oil from the gasket that was visibly pushed out. and Ive had enough of these valve covers also. I ordered a set of billet covers from Nasty Performance and bought a new valley gasket from the dealer today. Overall it was minor in nature but still shitty, will be back out to the dyno next mon/tues to give it another shot..chasing the 4 digit whp number, feel pretty good now that the fuel system is beyond overkill and will never be maxed with my setup. some pics of setup. I also mounted the coolant catch can in the trunk. Im going to run a -4 from the front overflow port on radiator to trunk so if the system ever does pressurize the water will be behind my rear tires And also bought a kurt urban vapor system and had a custom mount made for the box, still need to run the lines. http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y216/1972nova/cc1675d8.jpg http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y216/1972nova/a502d22c.jpg http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y216/1972nova/3d513f4f.jpg http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y216/1972nova/4736dc5c.jpg http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y216/1972nova/828c2c0b.jpg

hmm id rather they were just plain

best bet is to buy a 10 dollar drum and just goto speedway and get it 5-10 gallons at a time it will be cheaper and easier to obtain at current prices you could get 55 gallons and a drum for around 140.00

WHO HAS A CHEAP SET?

shit scares me

what size is the braided line

That's cool

Mike at Bob boyd tell him Dan sent you hes a good guy and manager of their body have referred quite a few people on here to him and all have good experiences.

hey tim its to you bud, sorry patrick I guess I had the wrong size stuck in my head.

Treed by Brian, stolen vehicle so plate does not mean shit

Does not say cpd, I'm sure it was not them. And plate number means nothing the car may register to a 60 year old female and the driver could of been a 19 year old dude

under hood is sick , lose the lights and the rest of that shit though
