Weighing up some options (engine knocking)
right guys, good advice, iv got the engine out, (iv slipped a disc in my spine and now i cant walk! lol! :/ cant see any holes in the engine... does jeff at zedworld do megga engine rebuilds? if i can take it down to him to build into an epic engine id be happy, if i make the insides strong what do i need to do to sort this oil issue out? re 888's - she managed a couple of runs with loooooooooads of smoke out of the tyres and on the final 4th gear 100mph corner the engine let go...... unsurprisingly

Weighing up some options (engine knocking)
Ok well, we're gonna take the engine out tomorrow and look at the damage, few people think it might'v thrown a shell where do I get 'epic' engine internals from? Like extra strong shells, forged rods + pistons, bearings etc?

End of the road? or salvageable?

Weighing up some options (engine knocking)
Well.. Went to do my bdc drift licence at llandow today and the engine started knocking during practice :( so I failed like a prat.... Basically i was running relitively low boost 11psi with a puck clutch, shimmed diff and couple that with The r888 Tyres I gave the engine too much with no 'give' so the inevitable happened... Now iv got 22 days to get the thing up and running for bdc teeside. So, couple of options, 1 - get another vg30dett and throw that in 2 - get an sr20det convert and tune it to death 3 - rb26dett 4 - rb25dett tbh iv lost all faith in the ca, vg, rb25 gen engines, they seem to have toffie bottom ends I'd like to SR the thing, iv had a look at a few conversions and it doesn't look like a particulally difficult job. Would it be easyier to rb26 it? Will my clutch and flywheel go on an sr or rb26? I'm aware the box will fit and the mounts might need a fettle also the subframe might need a little cutting..... Or should I just rebuild this piece of poo? What's involved in an vg bottom end rebuild?

black smoke drifting

Boost controller
my mate managed it and iv fitted mine, there all the same anyway, in a TT you need a T peice to connect both actuator vac pipes to one vac pipe that goes back to the solenoid (if im remembering rightly)
