lol wut? get some sleep and try again

Go easy on him mate, he's a govt. worker..

I concur they are 17x7.5 +40 (running them on my 32gtst).

If I can get my oil return sorted soon I'll put my name down. If I get a decent tax return I may even have my new turbo on in time!

Nah no 35r on yet, got a fair bit of fabrication to do as it's not exactly a bolt on affair At the moment it's making 245rwhp @ 4600rpm with rev limiter set to 6800rpm (I've got forgies but only standard rods for now). Will be limiting it to 400rwhp with the GT35R until I get used to it and have the cash to pull the motor out, whack some new rods in and get it all balanced. Even if I do push it further I think it would only be for dyno days etc as that much power in my little car is going to be pretty silly.. 3L torque would be wonderful in the stag that's for sure!

560rwhp 26 not enough for you hey Brad?

Hmm guess it's back to the mallet and old fitting. Cheers guys.

If you haven't cut up your standard intake manifold, bolt it on and see where the turbo sits in relation to the throttlebody/crossover pipe...

Yeah that's pretty much what it used to have but that fitting sticks a good couple of inches out the back of the head, there is probably *just* enough room to have it there but it has to be taken out everytime the engine goes in or out. I'm trying to come up with a way to do the same thing but with something that only protudes say 20mm out of the head.

Thanks Gary Yeah I figured it was gravity return and that's why the old fitting was so large.. wonder if I can find/make something that is wide but not deep.. Maybe two small banjo fittings.. guess I'm going to have to peruse mucho catalogues and see if there is anything to suit. If I drill/tap the existing bung I have in there, I would need to be doing so as low as possible yes?

Make sure that the breathing hoses are correctly setup before trying anything else drastic. When I bought my car the guy had them all screwed and it pumped so much oil out the exhaust he thought something was broken. I bought it, fixed the breathing setup and all was good.

My motor had an oil return from the back of the head but when we put it in my car it didn't fit (was in a commodore) so we put a blank there (the fitting for the return was so huge it was preventing us from tilting the motor back to get the gearbox in and out). Now this hasn't presented an issue until a track day a few weeks ago where the sustained high revs started pushing a heap of oil into the catch can. I'm trying to find the slimmest possible way of putting a decent sized oil return back on.. something along the lines of drilling/tapping the blank fitting in there at the moment and screwing in a banjo fitting of some sorts.. Any suggestions? and how big (ID) would the return have to be?

Yeah even my mates' wife reckons our chocolate is better than in the US. English Cadbury's is better again as they don't need the heat preservative that we put in our chocolate here.

It's different sam, it's more of a candy peanut butter.. I was sceptical too until my mates American wife gave me some, now I'm hooked

Reeces Peanut Butter Cups. There is a shop in London Court that sells mainly english chocolates but also sell the peanut buttercups. There is also another shop that sells them in Carrillion Arcade near EB Games and Dirtcheap CD's. This one has a bigger selection. Grab some peanut butter m&m's while you're there, they're teh b0mb!

Yeah I had a D car speeding the other day and then he cut me off

Nah man, I reckon Ash'd have ya!

Man the 3L torque makes for an awesome burnout machine

Commencing Operation Smoke Screen Diversion on my mark.. 3.. 2.. 1.. mark. </burnout>

They wouldn't be able to answer you in here because they wouldn't have read this thread.

*cough* 30 *cough*

20 are top feed..

Tried searching? or trolling through the RB30 threads? oh.. maybe even look at the RB30 dyno results thread! shock horror!
