Apparently you can use blue coolant in the systems, as it has meth in it.

I believe I read that somewhere on one of the American sites.

You can use whatever you like, plenty of drinks that work well to All added daily expenses though....

[Pompey306mark]

Oh yea I wasn't not saying it would save him any money, just that I had read it somewhere. As he asked where he could get meth from.

If you don't want to be wasting money go fmic and forget about the extra cost.

[Danny2009]

It was just something different to a fmic thats cooling that's all, couldn't you rig it on a switch so when your hooning it injects or is that not possible

[Pompey306mark]

That's how they can be set up, but what's the point when after 5mins of fun driving the top mount is over cooked.

Maybe try and do something different else where on the car.

Or if you need it to be cooling the charge cooler.

[Jenkosowls]

Progresive injection is what you need ideally. shouldnt be too hard to sort it out. heck rig the VR off the semi ecu bosch's wouldnt be hard to make a little workable setup

[Danny2009]

Hmm ill look into it

[Rippthrough]

Swap the top mount out for a charge cooler if you don't want boost pipes everywhere, means coolant hoses and water pump to mount though.

[talbotsteve]

Would an Impreza vent not work better with an intercooler spray, waits for abuse bombardment.......

[Danny2009]

Probably but looks gash! Lol

[Tom]

This project has inspired me to buy a big turbo!

[Danny2009]

Well I was cruising between 70 and 80 on motorway tonight and something went with a loud bang followed by the car pulling me all over the road

Managed to get it on the hard shoulder and when I got out was greeted with the oil slick and boot plastered in oil

Pictures later .....

[Pompey306mark]

That's a bit crap mate.

[kernow_joe]

gutted mate, picking bits of conrod off the road?

mine did this after 6 days of big turbo and pump, then the new engine I think is still running with its new owner, very luck of the draw

[Tom]

Well oh shit.

[Jake]

Sad news

[Pugmarshall]

Damn, not much hope for me! 160k, just fitted T25 and it gets driven!

[darrenjlobb]

Oops, time for bottom end beefing!

[puglove]

Oh dear . These engines dont always run fine at 170bhp on STD internals

[Jenkosowls]

pot luck i reckon with the dhy engines iv done a good 8k on a big turbo so far. me and danny had done some driving in the car and he had noticed a tapping noise almost like poor spaced valves and the car was putting a little out white smoke on idle, then got a call a few hours later stating what had happened

[Danny2009]

I've got a spare engine so that's getting ripped out today and start fitting, this is the engine that did 3k at 40psi + of boost the one that went pop after less than 800 miles and 28 psi of boost luck of the draw.

Pictures !

[Dave]

A sight all too familiar :p get some destructo photos up

[jonny1.6]

shit 1 dude you going to put another engine in it?

[zx_volcane]

Damn, sorry to hear this - kinda highlights the risks of cranking up the xud on a big turbo.

Shame these engine can be so seemingly hit and miss too.

[Tom]

But can we really call it hit and miss? He was running 40+psi lol

[Danny2009]

I was running 40+ psi on the old engine on the engine that shat itself I was running 28psi.

Had a quick look today put my hand through the hole in the sump and can feel both rods but the oil pump is hanging out....

Guessing the oil pump let go and not the rods

Oh well started ripping the engine out my old car ready to transplant it into the ph1 should be back on the road next week
