Gettin back into it

How are vibrations /noise with that set up?

[Clonebug]

Nice and quiet....

[buguy]

Perfect. I'm not making a ton of power with this set up.
Know where I can get some HD mounts a bit cheaper than the Berg site?

[Clonebug]

CB Performance has some I think. If not HD they are call Rhino mounts.

[buguy]

That's a much better price!

I just wish it didn't cost US$85min to ship to Australia!

Edit: CIP1 also stock them for $50.

[buguy]

Doesn't look like it would be very hard to make.

[petew]

Well you can do that too. Certainly, that's what I'll do.

[buguy]

For me I don't think I could make one for $36 so I will likely just buy one.
In got the paint work all done yesterday so I'm going to get it all assembled in the next day or 2. Then I will get the engine/trans pulled. Gonna do the trans mounts and see if I can clean up the welds on the header to make it look a bit better.

[buguy]

I'm getting ready to place my order at CB. Is there any benefit to a billit crank pulley?

[Clonebug]

Get one that can be machined for a crank trigger if you ever go that route.

I sent mine to Mario and he machined it for me and installed the trigger wheel.

[buguy]

Ouch. I thought about just getting one that's already got the trigger on it. Pricey!

[buguy]

Anyone know if they make a carbon seal for my T3? I think it's a TB04 out of a Saab or something. It's a 50 trim 42/48

[petew]

As long as it's a common-ish plain bearing turbo, I think there's carbon seals available for most things.

[buguy]

Yeah it's nothing weird. I was doing some searching last night and I saw mention of a carbon seal backing plate. I'm not really sure what/how a carbon seal is and what exactly I need. I'm wondering if I may be better off just getting a different turbo that already has it. Or maybe it would be smarter to try blowing through my holley.
