Yes it the MTBE in some race fuels that swell the seals changing the flow rates eek.
I have run race fuel with MTBE on the 1000 and they are fine :) I believe Mikee and Steve at SMG have both had problems with the 2000's |

I wonder why they think it’s a good idea to use different seals🤔 surely they know about the problem so why not fix it rather than loose out on so much custom. |
:Dnice to see a relevant(to me) decent thread on scoobynet:D
|
That's engine porn Dave. Very nice.
|
Thanks for all the nice comments on my engine build, Paul finch has been absolutely brilliant throughout, would recommend him to anyone wanting the best. |

I have an rotated spec c inlet n I can see it’s still going to be a pig. Think Simon is going to do it as he knows exactly what needs to be done

Realistically 2 months depending on how soon Simon can fit me in then I need to fit the fuel system n get it mapped. |

The only thing that is playing with me is that fact I need to chop away at a 14k engine to get it in. If for any reason I wanted to sell it on down the line I’m sure it would put people off. |

how big is the inlet track ? im on a 76mm and just used 10mm spacers to get it in !
|
|
lol, i see now ! not really stock fit ? im sure itll be worth it though if it does high 500,s and maybe 600 with good spool up
|
I know it will but it’s been a long time n I just want it finished. Too many things to do n not enough time. Should see 650 on v power n 750 on race fuel. Engine is capable of 2.5 bar of boost but will be running 2 max

I had to shave an ej207 to fit a baby mdx. |

Scary **** isn’t it... |
my forced performance turbo wasn't that hard to fit to be honest ,, had to remove a tiny part of the block but nothing major ,, there 84mm intake was fairly easy to fit and didn't even need to remove the inlet manifold to fit it ,, not sure how there bigger one fit though as mine is one of there smaller ones lol

I had the same oil line issue with my tiny VF30 :lol1: as I had the housing rotated whilst having it rebuilt, I used the racing lines kit but reconfigured it, had to shave some bits also.

I used the racing lines kit above, gave a lot of flexibility so that things fitted right. Had to shave part of the bellhousing like most people have when fitting a larger aftermarket turbo.
