The theory is that Cylinder 5? I think it was, cooks on the Series 1. Where were you breaking the rods from? back of the motor?

Yep was 5 and 6 on the series 1 motor, but all my series 2 breakages have been 3 or 4.
With the autos all the standard ones i put in started slipping at around 8psi. I think we swapped out 3 in 2 weeks, then i brought a manual.
So my vote
Go T5

i just had a basic tune done on my ecotec turbo,
only running 8 psi and its killed the shift kitted th700 already. was making about 220 rwkw

im thinking about putting in a c4, do it once do it properly.

Random question... Turbo oil feeds and return line.
Did u tap it from the oil pressure sender then tap a fitting into the sump for the return?
if so how did u go about it?

Put a t piece before the oil pressure sensor.

and just drill a hole in the top of sump for the return you can buy fitting and oil line kits off apet on trademe

 

[Nzpure]

do u need to drop the sump out? or do u just leave it there and drill it?

 

[slo_firo]

best to drop it, unless you do it super careful and change your oil a few times after
