Overheating? advice needed
Maybe. I guess it's hard to tell now. Refill and bleed the system as per the FSM and see what happens.

An AC/DC tig welder is on my wish list, got to finish a few things before I've even got so were to put/use it.

Does your speedo also stop working?

bhp question
At least you didn't have to knob about getting it setup, you just plugged it in and started playing. Bloody PSN network is annoying me.

I don't think in brave enough to read there other polls...at least I have a resource now to get myself angry should I need that.

Bloody predictive text CORSA, I don't own a £2.6m if I did i wouldn't by one with so little land a car going past the front annoyed me. I'd buy a bloody mountain.

What is wrong with people?
I love the fact that they are calling for a law that already exists, that's just shows how little thought they have put into it. Yes David's 2.6m house is funny. Does this mean david that you think you have more rights because your house cost more? Does this indeed mean that someone who considers your house pocket change can ban the wind, as long as the house costs enough...snob. Elitest snob. I also enjoyed the comment about stupid cars like cord as and scoobies, ummmmmm. Not the same league?

Bell housing leak?
My drivers side turbo oil feed was doing this, at idle it didn't leak only under load. Take it for a quick spin the. Re check, worth a go. It's also worth check Power steering as that can leak and all end up back there due to the wind while your going along. Equally and quite likely a leaky lower rocker cover can make a right mess. Ive had just about every oil leak you can imagine.

What is wrong with people?
More and more it seems to be people can't differentuate facts with opinions, equally the venom of what some make their "facts" is disgusting. This is by no means the worst but I stumbled across this and ended up reading it as you do, I came away thinking this is why I don't like a lot of people. Honestly we could do with some proper problems for these people to fixate on. The highlight was the chap who accuses his neighbour of being a drink driver on the basis that her cars loud she's young and she gets home late...mate she might work nights? http://www.govyou.co.uk/ban-loud-vehicle-exhaust-modification/

Normally this shows up with the aliens blood effect pouring out by the passenger side intercooler, that's happened to me twice...

water on the inside of windscreen
A common one is the damned rear window, puddles up in the bottom corners and leaks through. Then the spare wheel well gets wet.

Overheating? advice needed
Sometimes the rad cap might not seat properly, crap caught or a failing cap. The cap keeps the system pressurised, the pressure increases the boiling point. So without it not only does the coolant evaporate but it can be thrown down the overflow into the expansion. So once cool check the coolant level, bleed the system out as per the FSM and ensure everything is clean. A new rad cap is a cheap investment. I know the one that came with my japspeed rad was naff and leaked. The second thing is to consider the actual water tempreture, you can either connect an aftermarket or use some software such as conzult to read off the ECU circuit. To give you an accurate reading.you may know this bit but it often catches people out. The stock dash mounted gauge has three stages cold, normal, overheating, so it's not much use tbh. If you find that you do have a sealed system that is being over pressurised then you need to do some more tests. However in my experience in the case of these cars overheating the pressure is more likely to split a pesky old turbo coolant hose or similar than cause. The rad cap to steam. So if the rad cap steams my money is on the rad cap itself.

I would assume your targas have a little leak, gets damp inside and fogs up. Any seal like that that allows dampness in will cause it. That's why I use a car cover, my targas still leak a touch and without a cover over a few months it can get a bit damp.

Bell housing leak?
Could be gearbox front seals, could be engine rear. You should be able to tell if it's gearbox oil, it stinks it's much thicker and did I mention it's smelly. Best thing to do is check it's not coming from above as that's quite a wide spread leak. Clean the surfaces off then run it up and see what happens. Obviously being underneath a running car is dangerous and will be hot so I'm not recommending you do that.

blow off valves
I have bailey dv26 I think they are, the dual piston type. Fit in the stock location and are a proper reputable brand. You can buy them on the bay second hand for very cheap.

Cheers for that Noel, I'm not sure I quite explained myself properly but you gave enough information for me to get what I required. I should be on spec.
-
will these fit
Yeah it's not too bad, obviously there's some, it's not like an NA. It's been a consideration in terms of what to choose as I don't want all the power from 5k onwards, stock is acceptable. As it is/was it's pretty good, however I don't want to fit something that ruins it's drivability.

The ones he's been arranging with mark, the ones that you say have a better response than stock.

Interesting stuff, I'm assuming there are breather mods to compliment these. I hate turbo lag.

If your going to buy Chinese turbos, there were godspeed 300zx kits for about £350 last week, almost cheap enough to take a punt. But it's a risk, not just to the turbos but to the engine, imagine if a turbine shattered and was Ingested by the engine, that's a rebuild ££££. No offence buddy but you seem to just be going round and round in circles. Why not just make a choice based upon the advice you've been given and stick with it? It's a street car at the end of the day so anything above 500bhp is virtually pointless, which can be achieved on not massive turbos. A set of gt600s and some 555s with a good map and you will be making enough power to melt your tyres in most gears and have to refocus yourself on how to get it on the floor. You will be putting down more bhp per tonne than a f430 without the wizardry to keep in all in check.

Don't think so, not without extensive modifications.

Japfest 2015. Deadline for ticket payments is Wednesday 18th March
Looks like there will be a few of us on track then.

How low can you go?
It's nice to see some proper sheet metal fabrication work rather than 8 tonnes of fibreglass being sika flex'd to the car. What's the plan with the door?
