I was able to get the car out today and give it an easy breakin drive, The turbo comes on much sooner than the old Rayjay, It hits around 2800 - 3000 RPM as opposed to the 3800 from the old turbo setup, it's too soon to tell if it is as powerful as the old Rayjay as I am breaking in the turbo slowly and have not raised the boost up yet. I am sure there is some pressure drop with the intercooler installed. I will log in some miles over the weekend check and recheck all systems then give you a all systems go, throttle up report on the butt dyno.

OH, OH very bad noise coming from engine. Car was running and sounding great and I have been driving it easy all day, I stopped for awhile at the neighbors when I got back in to drive it 2 blocks home it developed a bad noise and my oil pressure gauge shows low pressure, hoping a tensioner but sounds a lot like rod bearing noise, and the low oil pressure? The engine stills seems to run smooth I may be down for awhile till I figure this one out.

What about your cam driven oil pump?

No, it really sounds a lot like a rod bearing knock or a main bearing knock and the low oil pressure along with it, it seems odd that it would just happen all at once like that after sitting for a half hour and driving 2 blocks home. I replaced the oil pressure ending unit last week, I am hoping its more like tensioner failure.

Ok this is what I found, I drained the oil out and checked the magnetic plug and found some shavings but nothing that looks abnormal, I removed the sump screen and found a few particals that looked like shavings and may of been something that found its way into the case when I tapped the fittings for the oil pump in the cam, Looking further now that all the oil is cleaned up.
OH MY , the oil pump shaft is broken at the spline end where the cerclip attaches oppisite the pump. Answer to the low oil pressure, I hope the rod bearing didnt fail in those two blocks I drove and the noise is related to the oil pump either way looks like my engine is going to have to have a major operation. And while im in there.................. Holy shit this is going to cost me $ :woohoo:and my whole summer. Just when it looked like I was ready to get everything finished up.
Sorry guys you and I will have to wait to see the test results.

aww man..... sorry man
