Re: xf throttle body?
The difference between XF and EB throttle bodies is bugger all. Got them both sitting in my shed. Even up to AU, the difference in minimal. BTW the XF one is for sale.. make an offer.

Re: Axle Tramp
I've just done the extra leaf trick.... didn't work. Gunna try maybe tramp rods and, or, an adjustable pinion support. Was going to get a Mcdonald Bros two link, but muffler is in the way.

Re: Rear Hub Seals
I think panda's mixed up. The borgy diff has the seal between the backing plate and bearing. Yours looks like the scorp diff, which in fact has a sealed bearing and the seal on the inside. So, yes, that is the axle seal circled.

Re: Blowing Smoke
SigmaProject said My machanic got me to fit a bigger PCV. A PCV into a sealed catch can, and then into the turbo to carb adapter manifold would be a better system. Thanks SigmaProject, that's fixed my problem. That and fitting a standard pump,(Thanks Cheaterparts) Can drive without dying from smoke ...

Re: Scorp Diff Conversion
I didn't think any Scorps had borgys? Every one I've seen is Jap banjo. It's 10 bolt out of a 85 GL Scorpion BTW.

Scorp Diff Conversion
After popping my standard GC diff on a quick change from first to second, and having a GL Scorp diff kicking around, I've decided to do the conversion. Just a couple of question though... Does the tail shaft have to be shortened? I've got the diff sitting in position, and to me, the shaft hasn't got...

Re: Blowing Smoke
There used to be smoke on decell. I had it rebuilt for the second time and that's cured. There's no oil on the intake side whatsoever. My problem is........ It leaks oil between the bearing housing and the exhaust housing, around those clamps that secure the exhaust housing to the main bearing housi...

Re: Blowing Smoke
Yeah it's running to a vented catch can. The turbo does have a carbon seal, but the turbo reco guy told me they put them in for draw through carby.
He said the fuel affects the seal. Anyhoo, I'll check google for my smoking issue, maybe that will help. Thanks for the tips.

No power brakes. No vacuum line whatsoever before the inlet valve.

It's a brand new engine, even comps. rebuilt turbo including new bearing housing. breathing and draining ok. running 10-30 magnatec. I've gone through all this with JPC Performance in Melb.

Re: Blowing Smoke
External oil pressure regulator? Where do I get? And why hasn't anybody told me? I've asked a myriad of engine builders over the last year about this problem, and the only one who's helped is cheater, who suggested a restictor (isn't that an external oil pressure regulator?) If there is an adjustabl...

Re: Blowing Smoke
I've had my turbo rebuilt 3 times within 100kms, even with a new bearing housing. Within 20kms it starts loosing oil between the bearing housing and the exhaust housing, even with a restrictor (20psi at idle hot, 80psi at idle cold). Before the restrictor, i had the smoke while backing off crap! I t...
