ive also ordered a 093 turbo mount that's what I used with my hx35 and it was just convenient...

ive got a new set of injector lines coming from Darrin tosh cause mine are tattered...

nmb2s rotating assembly showed up and the pressure head ceasing ended up causing the crank to walk ever so slightly into the backside of the center cap....doesn't appear to be any real crank damage so far but we will see what the machine shop says...

got main and head studs...

that's about it so far...so im just gathering the lil things lol got lots to go...

Those must be the new turbo stamps from the post office.

Last I read, he thought something got screwed up when he did his cam swap. What was the outcome on that?

 

[gingrass179]

Nmb2 thought he screwed something up from the cam swap? His problems came from a sticky pressure head in the oil cooler

I noticed he had that happen 2 times. Is there anything specific that was causing that issue? Oil cooler need some work, to much boost, etc?

Was just curious.

Thanks

 

[gingrass179]

As far as the oil cooler goes I've seen a few stick in both directions...as too much oil pressure or 0 oil pressure

 

[freebird01]

Cant say that I have ever heard of high oil pressure causing a crank to walk... only time ive heard of a crank walking is due to bearing failure or a flywheel/flexplate issue...as in the trans somehow putting pressure through the back of the crank

 

[gingrass179]

no he didnt have high oil pressure problems he had 0 oil pressure...lol which made the crank walk

 

[freebird01]

And the crank is still ok? Cylinder bores? Cam bearings?

That'd be my concern if the thrust bearing got smoked. Cranks usually don't fair too well once that happens.

Grinding a thrust bearing on a crank is tuff to do. then you need a special thrust bearing to make up the smaller diameter thrust area around the crank main bearing.
