wanna swap for some 19" FPV rims

Sounds like some1 really pro did it if all that stuff was bolted onto the car. You must be gutted mate, i feel for you

It was just an idea i had, didnt realise they had seperate manifolds

ok, i have had a think about it, and after reading all ur posts, i have my own opinion on the matter. For single turbo engines such as XR6T and RB25DET, what i posted previously still holds... that it is highly unlikely that turbo bits will get sucked back into the engine since the airflow is going outwards. I myself have done abit of fluid mechanics and if this exhaust flow was laminar then we would expect this result. On the other hand if it were turbulent flow then yes it could get sucked through. From wat i can remember, i think my mate said that up to the turbo is laminar and the turbulence starts at the dump pipe, but i will reconfirm with him. What happens with TT cars such as the GTR (in my opinion), is that when 1 of the turbos blow, the air in the engine will take the easiest path out and go through the non-blown turbo. This will cause the air-pressure from the blown port to reverse and for theengine to begin sucking air in from the blown turbo, enough pressure that is, to send tubo bits back in. I think this is what u were saying t04GTR. This phenomenon would obviously not be a problem in single turbo cars since there is no other way the air can escape. Plz correct me ne1 if what im saying is full of shit... but to me it makes sense. P.S. I said my mate makes over 55K, that doesnt mean he's not making 100gs, I just don't want to post his exact salary up on a public forum

BOS importing SS $380 for front/dump trust PE2 catback SS = $900 Hi-flow Cat = cant remember the brand but cost 300-400 Get SS unless u want to be replacing it after a few years, Dont go cheap on the exhaust, its 1 of the most important mods and prob the hishest KW gain/dollar spent u will achieve.

P.S for all u making fun of my mate... this guy gets paid more than 50g p.a to work on the design of the new XR6T, whilst u guys are the internet mechanics not getting paid, and knowing close to nothing compared to him... think b4 u ridicule

Fine then, dont believe me. I spoke to him bout it again 2day over coffee. He reconfirmed that theres basically 0 chance of turbobits being blown back into the engine from the exhaust side, however.... When the turbo craps itself, what can happen is that the exhaust wheels unbalances the compressor wheel, causing it to hit the housing and also snap. If this breaks, u can be in a bit of trouble since the bits will get sucked through the piping and into ur intake manifold. Altho the cooler should be able to block the larger bits from entering, the smaller bits will flow through. Since they are very small bits, they prob wont do alot of damage, but there is certainly a chance that it will severly damage the engine.

^^^^ I agree, ive heard this exact thing from an engineer hat specialises in turbos. The probability of getting blowby or ring damage however from a few sec of ping is low, but yes it could potentioally happen

100% u will need to trim reo, dont worry bout the hose to the cold pipe, just run it to the vacuum hose coming off the actuator and T-piece it. PM me if u have more questiuons

sold pending payment

I was under the impression the turbosmart eboost-2 were the best ones to get

3 days left till Friday guys, if this doesnt sell it goes onto my freind's turbo LTD

Just did a check and yes the filter should be a direct bolt on for both 32 and 34 AFM's as well

are ventus a good brand of tyres?

If its got the same AFM dimensions then it should. Check to see if it is. Most likely it will be tho, i dont see why they would change it

Very interesting... whats a good test for this?

price drop $100 need it gone by this friday, make an offer, filter has to go, Dont be scared to post "low offers" this MUST sell by Friday

Up for sale is an apexi mechanical boost gauge, EL2 black face. Perfect working order, been on my car for less than a month. Reason for sale is that I can't stand Boost reading in bar Want either $200 for it or a swap for a another mechanical boost gauge, preferably apexi EL2 black face but in PSI not BAR, will also accept similar priced non-apexi boost gauges is PSI

Yep def the problem id say

what is this?

gota a few questions. 1) do they come with tyres 2) are they silver or white? 3) what suburb in melb? 4) can u send me pics thanx champ

haha thats ok, happens to the best of us

Which tuner was it that cant fix it if u dont mind me asking

Go buy some tissues and have a cry idiot,

so ur selling 4 of these spacers. I can offer u $50 AUD for them delivered to melbourne
