Hi Guys...

Just wanna know, any recommendation for engine oil for Twin Turbo? brand? Specs? engine has clocked around 120,000 km.

what eo/spec ur using now?

during my 6a12 i changed from semi castrol magnatec 10w40 to shell helix semi 10w40..better butt feel than the magnatec.

as for 4g63t..been using LM FS 10w40 previously..now using FS 10w60 , change viscosity due to oil loss when driving like pelesit. require 3 time topup for 8k mileage..10w60 so far not need to.

any good EO would do i guess. since v6 turbo like r35, why not try Mobile1?

If need heavier viscosity Mobil 5w-50 should be good.....

i'm using HDEO (with gasoline specs) since 2011
i'd recommend PetroCanada Duron line of engine oils

yak yak yeay.. ada geng..

now on my third bottle of Pennzoil LLG 15w40 CH4/SL
before this PetroCanada Duron, Addinol Super LongLife, 76 Guardol ECT, Kendall Super-DXA, Kixx D1, Caltex Delo, Sukimi MaxiGlide.

Fuh! you use long time dy, Mine 3rd bottle of Pennzoil but 7L bottle, so can use 5 times. Used to read about HDEO from other members. Most using Caltex delo 400. They even buy 18L bucket for cheaper use.....lol

Hi Guys...

How have you guys been...

Btw I've a question.. Any1 tried using the GTO 3000 V6 TD 04 turbo to replace the TD 025L?

Hi guys. This thread is inactive but I thought I’ll try my luck. Anyone knows what is the ECU code for 6A12TT? The one I have is 0456 but I saw online some sellers selling 0563. The problem is I’m having check engine light after my transplant.

Did you scan your obd to find out what code on your check engine light?

 

[humongousgravy]

First foreman said he scanned and nothing came out. Probably due to the kacuk wiring he said.

Means you are trying out blindly, or are you sure is the ecu problem?
When you bought the half cut was this the ecu that came with it?

 

[humongousgravy]

Yes I have to say trying out blindly because foreman seems unwilling to check further. He tried to swap the air flow sensor and water temp sensor but still to no avail. Actually after the transplant both ABS light and Check Engine Light was on.

actually I went to the halfcut shop and tried 0563 but the car was unable to start. Tried another 0456 and it started but with the same two error lights.

I bought the engine from another Perdana that was to be scrapped. My mistake was I didn’t start the engine. Am told the ECU came with the scrapped car.

 

[vr2turbo]

In that case I think you should find someone who knows your type of engine.
First to scan to see what is wrong to be able to trouble shoot the problem....

 

[humongousgravy]

Yeah thanks bro. Sent the car to another mechanic to check. I also feel the car not that much different from my previous V6 NA. Used back the same 312 manual gearbox. Could it be related to the ECU too?

 

[alcyon]

Take apart the ECU and see if any capacitors are leaking.

 

[humongousgravy]

Tested with 6484 ECU, same check engine lights and ABS sensor. The new foreman did tell me the wiring harness seems to have been cut. There’s one open cable near the intake manifold .

Earlier I also wanted to ask about the wire harness, because even my mechanic who did my car transplant need to send to expert wireman to do the wiring.....

 

[humongousgravy]

Now sending to a perdana expert. Hopefully can resolve this issue. Really feel the power is much less than I expected. Almost the same as before.

 

[humongousgravy]

Just an update. Problem solved. Sent to another perdana expert. Changed a couple of items including the air intake. Now all is good. Thanks guys.

The air intake very very sensitive. I remember got one time I wanted to try open pod, so got the adapter, but one corner of the fit was like less than 1mm off. The car starts and run but once you want to accelerate it chokes. Remove fit back original no problem.....lol

 

[humongousgravy]

I see. He changed a couple of items too. Looks like something called the Power TR in addition to the ECU. Also added quite a few air hoses to plug here and there, I’m guessing for reading/sensor.
Now looking to upgrade brakes and exhaust. Brakes if get VR4 or EVO won’t have to do custom bracket?
For exhaust size 2-1/4” enough? And what’s a good muffler to use if I want the sound to be just abit louder and bassy.

Your original brake is single pot? VR4 ones are double which was a improvement for me since my original was single and I transferred the servo also which was twin layer. Brake pads I am on Trestor Advantage pads.
My exhaust is 2.5" all the way until the muffler which is straight through. Some say can go up to 3", but better ask the pro exhaust guy.
Since you are fitting the muffler new, there is one now which you can switch the straight through on and off, meaning if don't want loud can off......lol

yeah now still stock single pot. If I changed the calibers and rotors will it cause the brake to feel more “mushy”? Or is that the reason to change the brake servo together?
Do you mean like a valvetronic exhaust? Would be nice to have haha

Brake servo aids vacuum so you get a stronger brake force. If changing to bigger rotor and larger calipers, best to increase the servo size too.
Yes, I think they call valvetronic exhaust....
