that does sound metal on metal rotational contact. (like a bearing). Since I believe it is related to the compressor wheel and possible contact with housing or a bearing I would suggest this as a check...

When the engine is idling and making the noise, disconnect one of the couplers from the intercooler - effectively letting the turbo just blow to the atmosphere. If it stops, I would say it is turbo related.

Do not do this check while revving the engine or in a dusty location. Do no drive the car like this as this is only a diagnostic check.

shielding the bead as you weld.

I just read through your entire thread. All I can say is wow. It looks like you are almost to the pot of gold. Your attention to details is rivalled by very few. You certainly put in the long hours of research and effort.

The car looks beautiful and the prep was inspiring. I cannot wait to see it finished.

I just realized that reading this made me realize that I should stop worrying about my car - it will get there. (I have so many other priorities than the 'trac that I have been seriously disheartened by the prospect of waiting several years to get it up to par) So thank you for your fortitude.

Looks fresh off the showroom floor.

Chances are you can find a used one pretty easy, or at least cheaper than one they want to fix your current one.

Updated. Sending PMs to those who posted. I apologize as I have been absent from the forum.

The pics sadly do nto help unless you wash the engine and show us fresh oil.

Based on the pics, it could be the oil pump leaking (though doesn't explain the coating on PS brackets and above). Based on that picture, I would say replace your valve cover gasket, check that the intake manifold nuts/bolts are tight. Then give the engine a good thorough was down.

Check your PS pump also as those along with the hoses love to leak. Otherwise, to replace the oil pump gasket, I would suggest waiting until you are going to do the timing belt (assuming your leak is not horrible) that way you can all of it done at the same time. You could replace the oil pump at that time, but the oil pumps generally do not go bad and you can always check the tolerances to be extra sure.

I would not return the the place you took the car. Oh and another idea that just came up is they sell the UV dye that you can put in your oil to find leaks. Then bust out a blacklight and it can help narrow the leak down.

Wow - I haven't been on this site in months since I have been so busy only to come back and learn presure2 has a 3sgte swapped. I searched and found this thread, his threads are always full of information and just an amazing experience in and of themselves.

Manny, great work. Top notch and phenomenol as usual. Certainly raises the bar for others. It is sad to see you move on from the 5sfte as you are what I consider the grand father of it. You weren't the first to boost a 5s, but certainly the first IMO to prove the reliability that could be attained.

Look forward to the progression the new motor will be undergoing.

I do have one question, I promise it is a general one, about the wiring. Do you just use the wire from another harness or are you just using wire from the store? I ask since the connections I seen in the pictures were all the same color sheathing on the wires.

PM works best for me. Thank you for looking and look forward to a pleasant and smooth transaction. I am not super active on this forum, but you can check my seller ratings at Alltrac.net - same screenname.

Hahaha - same here.

Generally speaking the cat itself should be smoking. Are you sure it is not your engine? What color is the smoke? I assume the smoke is coming from the tailpipe?

So what I am getting from this and your other posts in this thread is you wish to provide us with no actual data? Just a "hey I blew my motor, no I have no clue why, I don't know what my AFRs were, no I didn't track data"

So the whole point of this really isn't the point. The point I am seeing is that you want an easy go fast car without any extra hopmework or effort, yet you admit you have no budget and still are willing to blow your motor for no actual point.

Well good luck. I am hopeful for your motor and car. I have done the same thing you are doing but with the turbo about 8 years ago. I did it on my daily driver with no budget for all the proper stuff. The motor went pop.

Please head the warnings of others.

You look like Giovanni Ribisi.... I think it is the mouth.

To OP -

This whole thread seems like highschool drama. It started off sort of stalkerish then it backed down to obsessed and then all the way to shut off.

I would love to hear what happened that made her Batsh** crazy - just adds to the entertainment of the thread. Too bad we couldn't get all three sides to the story - that would be hilarious.

-Terracar

Wow you come off as extremely close-minded in my opinion. (My opinion - don't like it tough)

A few key points though:

1. No matter what you say or don't say - you are judged before hand.
2. How were Americans brought up? I personally got smacked around just in case I did something later - I guess that is not American?
3. internet reflects your mind - please elaborate since well most people try to portray themselves as something different - some don't luck of the draw really.

Now with that said your experiences in life may be different than mine so you are certainly entitled to your views/opinions however different than mine.

I think the point 6gtfour is trying to make he would like the numbers in a perfect world. No matter what the kit will produce different results for each engine based on condition, day of the week, and a myriad of different factors. I don't know anyone who garauntees their product will make x hp except maybe the magic chips on ebay.

X2 to what others said - if you are clueless about this sort of material - don't buy it - go buy a magic chip off ebay and a powered by Honda sticker - you will get the same hp gain (in case you were wondering yes the last part was sarcasm).

If you feel so strongly for how a business/vendor/person should sell/market/test their product - go do it yourself.

Baktasht - damn the DP looks simply amazing.
