Well finally got the time to have a look at my blowing exhaust as the job has been pushed to the bottom of the list again,
I started stripping it down today so I could get a better look and it looks as though its blowing from the manifold to cylinder head gasket so my first question is...is this common or should I need to look into it a bit further to find out why its gone? Second question...because I haven't got lots of experience working on s15s I would like to know if there is a prefered sequence for taking the manifold and turbo off the car... I imagine the turbo will need splitting from the manifold from underneath the car to get to the inner lower nuts on the manifold...and my last question is.....is it worth upgrading the manifold while I'm there or is the standard manifold good enough?.. I would also like to unlock a bit more power soon keeping within safe guidelines because I don't fancy forging another engine just yet....thanks in advance.
