Hey man I'm at hilcrest.... Where are u ? Be interested to see how u set up your screamer and talk to u bout jez doing a tune for me :-)

Yeah I actually thought that myself just flaring I out because it looks alot easier to do a 38 then a 44 lol I'll have a bit of a play mate I have 3 spare manifolds Here so will probably do both and see which looks like the goods I'll post up some pics an results when done for future reference thanks heaps mate

28 76r to start with I got it preety cheap so I wanna see how well it makes the power I want .... If it doesn't cut it I will be using a kando tdo6

Hey mate do u think it's possible to get a 44 mm gate setup the same way ?

Nice man that's what I would have went with the (8cm rear) and still might yet depending on how the turbo I have performs ... It's good to see the lil 20 holding its own :-) look forward to seeing more mate

Also where did u get your turbo thru was it the eBay supplier ? Also what size rear housing is on yours?

Hey Blake where u happy with how the manifold turned out? Gunna do mine this week ... What power level are u hoping to see from the 20 ?

Check connections on starter mate ....

Hey Dan yeah I'm definetly keen to know what happens there ... Do u live on the base ? And do u guys just do army vehicles ?

Machinery places seem more to my liking the variety of work would be awsomE to learn a lil on everything ... With the welding side do u guys just use stick and mig? I dare say flux core mig? I have been doing sheet metal for over 5 years now and a confident tig welder also have just spent the last year with the boiler making side of the company so have done alot off mig on various thickness and types of steel.... flux core and gmaw As for stick I have done a bit of it but not daily ...Hopefully that still looks good on the resume ...

I would like to do rebuild some hydraulics and trouble shooting would be fun but at the end of the day as long as I am doing something interesting on something with an engine I'm happy Hahahaha but mainly would live to do the engine rebuilding for machinery and trucks ..... Who do u work for now kerin?

Yeah the whole fly in fly out idea is ok I'd be happy to do that if it pays of in the end hahaha Are u an adult apprentice ? If u don't mind me asking what sorta money is first year looking at ? Have they fast tracked u at all ? Or have u done the full 4 years ? Sorry for all the qs mate but it's helpful talking to some one who knows what there talking about

Have u checked the main harness like earth on the block ...and power wire that goes to the alternator ? Also check main fuses in engine bay ! Does sound odd it won't start with a new battery

Thanks for the link mate that's a good idea but I would need to research it I'm unsure about living there and whether or not u have to live there or not .... I have a wife and son so I don't wanna leave them to pursue a career if that makes sense ?

Hey mate I'm in Brisbane round archerfield :-) And yeah I have come to realize that it's sort after trade which is sad but hopefully I can stand out enough ;-) Also what area are u in? And what company do u work for ? I have two places to try Mitch's diesel service . My dads old mechanic they get alot of army vehicle contracts ... like the 6 wheel ducks and massive troop carryiers Aswell as trucks and earthmoving equipment so plenty to learn And hasting deering . Not 100% what they do buti think its mainly earthmoving equipment Both are good ops but I don't wanna get stuck in one spot just doing routine things it would be nice to be apart of a build from the ground up :-) Thanks for your reply

Yeah post up pics I'm keen to see how u go cause I have been contemplating this as well .... What are you gunna make the flange out of ?? Also if h know how to tig u could probably use the tig and do a neat fuze/weave to get the flange on and help with preheating then when it's hot enough hit it with the mig or stick

General rule of thumb is ... If it plugs in it "should work" but either way they should be the same

Cas or ignitor .... I would lean towards ignitor more so than cas .... Try changing these ... Have u ran a diagnostic or hooked up a consult cable?

Hey all I'm about to finish my sheetmetal trade (dec 12) I've gone as far as I can in my workplace and wanna do another trade that interests me Which is diesel fitter ... Any body know of any places that take adult apprentices on ? I'm 23 so still got plenty of time to focus on another trade Also any diesel fitters on here that can give advice on getting into the trade would be helpfull Cheers bejay

Sounds like this bloke is gunna have his way with u cause he is sending dodgey pics bud... Has he asked for nudes yet????

Hey mate been browsing websites and came across this http://www.stainlessheaders.com/ls9headers Check out the PVC mock up headers there customer made so they could build a custom set of headers for his car I know there extractors but the idea of a PVC mock up could help u get the idea of how u want to build it :-)

Warped head maybe ? Does it over heat or has it ? Also dies it blow any smoke ?
