Now would be a great time to upgrade compressor wheels. You could say good bye to compressor surge and hello to a lot more power!

Check out Post# 262

Turbo is out and apart...

Problem:

Yep, got my stuff back.

Rebuilding the turbo after my crop dusting event. I have been having BOV issues so I am switching to a Synapse Synchronic. I have been fighting compressor surge and believe this may have lead to the seal failure. So new BOV, billet wheel and anti-surge housing. I have not inspected the seal channel on the turbine wheel. If needed I will replace that as well.

You Mr H., are so lucky to have a personal closed air strip to tune on.

I often wondered about that.

That is a 4 car garage you just cant see the rest. The sad part is that there is zero room for a car.

Had to share...the latest addition to the family. Picked it up last night, blown head gasket.

"John and Ryan, your stock turbos will be in the mail early this week. Just need to box up and get sent."

Same here.

How did the clutch hold up before the tranny gave way?

That kevlar disc looks an awful lot like my fibre-carbon one I just realised.

Apparently very well

First time I have seen that a gear broke on a M56. I assume this happen while in gear not on a force full shift?

It was a forceful shift. Second to third, the car started to pull for just a sec then boom

Photo-fest for all those who love carnage

Still waiting...

So jealous!

Lost another transmission today. Third gear is gone and it sounds like a box of rocks.

An automotive shop with CLASS!

I took my car in to get an alignment yesterday and this is what they put on the paperwork.

Sorry man, I barely have time to work on my own car. Had to take time off work just to finish it.

Have you looking into renting one? Costs about $40. I live 2 hours from you, would you drive all they way here and back to save $40?

4. New rotor and brakes.

5. New Nitto NT-05's

6. New kevlar clutch disc

7. Turned, stepped and balanced the flywheel.

8. Replaced rack & pinion and tie rods

9. Rolled the fenders to accommodate the larger Nittos

Back to tuning...

Almost back on the road. New clutch disc arrived and is true. Trans is back in and ready to go. Replacing the rack/pinion for a non-leaking version then button up the sub-frame with the new lower control arms w/powerflex bushings.

Well somebody has got some explaining to do. Before everyone goes crazy I contacted them and they were in shock and asked me to sent it back of which they will correct the issue and get it back to me immediately.

All right, things are coming back together.

Picked up the flywheel. I had it stepped to give it some more clamping force.

Kevlar disc this time.

Replaced syncros in the new trans

Swapped the quaife over... Does anyone have the torque spec for the ring gear???

and this last one if for 'VS Legend tha douche'..I caved, going back to steel.
