Those grooves in the pistons are normal.

Best way to find out is to clean the engine up real good, then use uv dye to track the source. The turbo feed line can have a small crack, not likely in your case since there is no smoke.

I have used these piston rings in my engine. About 12k miles on them atm. About 0.5 qt oil consumption per 3k miles.

I think the shift linkage is jammed. The roll pin is out but I cant seem to free it from the shaft.

Currently replacing center diff on the spec b. The cover is almost out but appears to be stuck on something. Is there something I'm missing?? The shifter linkage is disconnected and drive shaft. Cant seem to see what else is holding it. The pin is removed for shifter linkage but that doesnt want to move with the cover. Any help would be appreciated.

I would recommend 4.5 quarts. I sometimes just fill it to 5 quarts with no evidence of aeration. Just to compensate for the larger diameter oil pump (11mm)

You can try some vinyls. Also try to give more distance between the car in front of you. I do that when behind semi trucks.

Try to find the factory service manual.

After trying every parts store in the bay area. Here is my conclusion. This may vary depending on your location, transmission type. Keep in mind I brought my cv axle with me to compare. They failed around 125k miles.
All CV axles were too short for a 6MT. Stores visited: autozone, napa auto parts, oreilly auto parts.
Local stealership wanted 400$
I ended up ordering from heuberger, as their OEM parts and prices are unbeatable, and I would definitely buy from them again, as I have in the past.
If I didn't go this route, I would have had my axles rebuilt at raxles in Florida.

Do you have the means of testing the fuel pressure? That would be your next step to verify.

Loving it!

I read somewhere that they purposely designed the rear to sag a bit to help with air flow through the intercooler. Your car looks great!

Imo removing the turbo is much easier than the inlet. Plenty of access once that is out of the way.

There is also an oil port on the rear of d25 heads similar to B25, that is plugged. In the video, the oil line is relocated from the top of the head (original location) to the rear port. If you think that's a PITA just leave it in there, and deal with a engine and turbo rebuild just as many others including myself have done.

Yes pulling the turbo is easiest access.

This might help. The bolt your looking for is at 2:06.

I dont remember a banjo being underneath the timing cover. There are no oil lines there. Avcs gets oil from cams/caps. The filter you want is underneath intake, accessible from the rear. There might be one on turbo and one on driver side ocv if your in usa.

Definitely clean that intake manifold. That carbon build up is not normal. Seems like excessive blowby from pcv system. The pan uses silicone sealant if I remember correctly, so no gasket. It's a bitch and a half to pry off.

I know this has been covered before but I have not seen any recent postings on the quality of aftermarket CV axles. I know it's a good idea to replace both sides.
I am currently having clicking and popping at low speeds while making a sharp turn. It's coming from the driver side which sucks because I just rebooted and regreased the passenger side. My question is, are duralast CV axles from autozone trash? Or worth the buy? 170$ish for both. Or should I just spend 400+ on reman CV axles?

You can apply a thin layer where manual says. Or you can go all around the gasket. Both will work. Dont forget half moon seals. Also check that the oil feed port and the metal line is not leaking. The metal lines are known for cracking and is often overlooked.

King performance main and rod bearings are pretty good. Check them out

Could so much damage happen in 2 miles?
My experience says yes because this exact same thing happened to me. And 600 miles after slapping a new turbo on, boom! There went my connecting rod bearings, cam journals, orifices, everything! But hey there are some people who get extremely lucky...

NPR pistons/rings -- who uses them? Are these any good?

I just wanted to throw some new rings on and those were the only ones I could find.
