AHh, more shens. I get to swap in a better getrag and hope it was not abused, or ran with no fluids like mine did. No one repairs the buggers, and the few who do, charge arms and legs, plus left nuts, right eye, and a butt cheek. Parts hard to get, expensive, and need special tools to remove. I may have to load up on a few getrags and not put one in my 242.

Got my 50 trim turbo from an ebay buy. Used China T3/T4 54 trim. Actually decent quality, but the interesting parts is the compressor wheel looks a lot like a real Garrett wheel except it looks and feels heavier. You have to see them side by side to tell the difference. I have not decided how I will handle this turbo. I have another turbo I can rebuild as well.

Let's do this!

Plans for this drag race! ported 90+ ported flag/angled 15g exhaust housing. properly clocked coldsie. Properly bracketed wastegate. Resealed 15g(no more oil)

probable outcome.... nothing...

L8 APEKS · 11-20-2009, 12:06 AM

Word up!

I'll have my exhaust done next week.

Texas240 · 11-20-2009, 02:15 AM

i'll have my new ipd pluds on, 5 bar oil sender in block and wired up, and hopefully new clutch in but I might not one if new clutch is in. I want to break it properly unlike the last 2 were not.

Just drive around town a lot. only need about 400 miles on the clutch to break it in.

Say, that reminds me: are we supposed to bring our wives and kids to this event or are we supposed to leave them at home?

I was not too inclined to take my kids and my wife does not like car events. She would rather cut her wrist than sit around while I talk to other guys about cars. My kids have some interest, but it may be too many hours for them and trying to BBQ, race, and watch kids is probably not a good thing.

If you want to bring the fam, I will do what I can to help, but it may not be the best help due to other distractions.

PJ

ThickasaBrick · 11-21-2009, 07:17 AM

I appreciate it but that's OK. I won't bring them if no other families are coming. I just didn't want to not bring them if there were going to be other families there. Then all the wives could sit around and ridicule and talk trash about their husbands to each other because of all the time and money that we waste on these "old worthless cars" That's big fun for them! (All my wife cares about is the car having working air conditioning!) It's also good because then the wives learn that their own husbands are not unique in their illness.

Texas240 · 11-21-2009, 12:22 PM

Awwww, the joy of having families.. Im not there yet unless by some freak accident my gf is pregnant

Bring if they feel like sitting at the drag strip! I invited my GF, with a warning that it's going to be a VERY early morning and a long day doing basically nothing (from her point of view).

So yeah...she's not coming either.

Fantastic, just men reminiscing about there massive turbos...Ohh god, does that make me sound gay??

ThickasaBrick · 11-23-2009, 04:13 AM

It's not the size of the turbo, it's how you use it!

My turbo isn't one that anybody would envy.

fast242 · 11-28-2009, 03:30 PM

So, it is about that time we get a head count so I know how much food to bring. So far, it looks fairly light. About 7 people it seems.
