Just keep driving and put the money towards getting the engine perfect. Paint can come later.
Turbo gasket sorted. Good to see the turbo is in excellent nick also. Then out for a spin with the mates!
The car is running ok. You can get the power down if you pick a gear but it doesn't like going through the gears, there is a bit of hesitation between shifts before boost kicks in again. Just a slight delay and the odd missfire. Going by my experiences with the Skyline it could be absolutely anything from coil packs, fuel issue, timing I have no idea.
Will get it to Richard Bradley in the next few weeks hopefully but for now I'm just happy to cruise about in it. The thing makes some absolutely epic noises though! Can't wait to see how she performs
I would 100% be looking towards getting some VAG coilpacks installed, SR20 coils are famously bad. Is it stock fuel pump? Get a nice Walbro and Z32 fuel filter. With my old PS13 I also had plenty of cracked rubber pipes which were losing a bit of air on boost, just replaced the whole lot.
@TheDaniel are you located in or near Belfast?
Got talking to Ross one night and mentioned you to me in conversation when I brought my skyline along to applegreen
Must get a catch up with you lads and a looksey at the motor
I did the swap as the brakes were larger, but also to paint, refresh, upgrade and replace bushes and joints before it was installed. Can always sell your old setup to recoup some money back tooTo be honest after I posted that I sort of backed out. Not sure if any bits need replaced etc. Will have a think about it.
