Mocal laminova on mine. Does a very good job.

I had a 60mm to 75mm 45deg silicone elbow on my megane 225 setup but now the gt2860rs turbo has a 75mm inlet so I now have a 75mm elbow. I might have the old elbow somewhere if you're interested. It's blue by the way.

I need more than hints, getting old and slow. Lol

Thought after I posted that you'd probably bought it. Obviously not then.

I used to take a feed on the passenger side of the radiator. If you remove the plastic panel from the side you can have a trumpet sitting there instead.

I use a 75mm outlet piperX cone filter from a Cosworth RS500. Good for 500hp.

You joking? Selling complete or breaking?

I see, not so good. No possibility the debris is round the current engine?

You might be better getting the turbo checked to see what caused the failure before the same thing happens to the next one. Seems very odd for a turbo to fail with such low miles and boost levels.

How many miles had the turbo done and what boost were you running?

Ktec sell them.

You'll need a link pipe to flint them and also the 182 manifold is a buger to fit.

Can anyone tell me what the 6 wires are on the throttle body plug and what wire is what? Cheers

Very frustrating but good when resolved. The annoying bit for me is that I know some of these issues are going to happen and seem to get proved right. lol Cheers mate, loving yours too!! Really fancy trying a side mounted turbo with a screamer pipe. lol Cheers mate, hows yours coming...

Are you handy with electrics? If so, find a switched live for the radio, power socket, etc, and take a feed from there. Not sure if the bod needs a live feed though. Usually these type of threads end in tears though. Lol

They buy some of their aftermarket leather from us. A lot of the guys in work have had full re-trims done supplying the leather and getting Transcal to do the work. Some very nice results too.

Could be interested in that mate. ;)

Are the arp flywheel bolts stretch to yield or can you torque them up as many times as you like? Good work on getting it all done.

Got the car started tonight after some more help from Scoff on the fueling. Have to say a massive thanks to this guy as his help has been invaluable with loads of niggles ive had and would have been lost without it. It would crank then fire up for a few seconds but then cut out. Had to make an...

That funny star shaped thing needs a female torques bit. You can get them at most hardware stores for about £3 or £4 depending on size.

Post cat lambda sensor (if it comes out) will be straight forward. Changing to a Decat is a pain in the as s and will give you nothing but more noise and a warning light on the dash. Save your money and/or time. Edit, just noticed its a 182 so would be easier but still not worth it. I'll keep...

Check for leaks on the inlet after the throttle body.

Lol, thought I was missing something.

Why would you need a new head. Just reseal the rocker cover. This would be my advice too. You would see if it's the solenoid seal and it wouldn't leak into the plugs as leads are sealed at the top. Yup!

Lol, get it up ye!

Well done with the result! If you do go the turbo route, what are the racing options and will it be competitive in them? Just thinking the same for mine once it's ready.

Combination of unmatched cam cover and a welded up oil way on the cam I think. Jammed up and caused the timing belts to jump wrecking all the inlet valves. New head fitted now with a different inlet cam and slightly different pulley.

Lol, best present ever. Alloy tank is on the cards once it's running. Sorted mate, engine in today. Will be running by tomorrow. Going to the still game show now or would have been running tonight.

Seriously, the head was in great condition. Had to get 6 thou skimmed off it but the cam journals were in great nic and measured up perfectly with the cams. No leaks in the valves either. Managed to get paraffin sitting in the chambers for hours.

Very wise indeed mate. ;)
