I'm looking for Mit. Storm 16 inch rims but hard to find....how much would it fetch for a set of 2nd hand...I plan to repaint it for rough use so no point I get a set of new ones and sakit hati when it get scratch...
gavan, I removed the breather hose section leading back to the intake. I feel no difference but no more oil vapour going back into the turbo. Before this I took out the IC for cleaning and the connecting hose was full of dark lub oil from the vapour all stuck on the connecting hoses and inside the IC and even the intake manifold was full of smudge build up...I so sakit hati when I see this. Even the intake hose from the air filter after the breather hole was full of oil stain...leading down to the turbo which is not good as after long time it will become smudge and ketulan and affecting the intake. I should have took pictures when i removed all this stuff but my hand was full of oil and grease. The breather hose ontop of the engine i also took out and oil just drain out a bit from the hose. This shows how much the oil vaopur is going into the OCT. My OCT is really balck with oil.....I ask the shop mechanic and they say if want to clean the intake manifold have to take it out. I was thinking whether can we re route the EGR tube to vent to the atmo instead if venting it back to the intake manifold. What will be the effect. I just want the intake to stay cleaner..not 100% but not as dirty as now....
This is me on cleaning the IC, air filter, OCT, using old newspaper to wipe off and suck up all those grease and oil....really tired that day..I spend the whole evening doing it. Picture showing me taking out the OCT.
The latest engine pic...I change the connecting hoses to silicone one..very straight forward change and easy for the IC. No need to pay labour also. Bought 2 connector for RM90. Then the intake SS piping. 2 silicone joint plus the 90 degree SS piping is about RM150... Fitting the SS intake piping was a bit hard cause I didnt cut it short enough but it fitted well. Should have cut a bit more shorter....hahahaha~~silly me. Now the engine sounds a bit different...feel more 'garang' when tekan....sound a bit bassier and deeper. Coated the IC with TSD Boron coating. I still have left over from my previous use at another car so just whack it....inside the IC still have some oil stain which is hard to clean...Any good idea to clean the inside of the IC?
