Its awsome seeing these old touring cars out on the track again doing what they should be doing rather than collecting dust at someones house where no one else ever see's them!!!! They sound fantastic to, nice turbo whistle when they come on boost.Im just waiting for when my r 32 becomes histroic!!!! :P

BTW i should mention that we (spencer and I) won all 3 of our races (group NC 1.5-2litre) even though we spent the time between race 1 and 2 on sunday welding a broken upper shock mount back together. in fact we won our class by a mile and finished up with a 12th outright. We were still 2 seconds a lap down on our best pace but were suffering from lack of power due to a little change to the air intake, and a cracked extractor. Spencer drove superbly on sunday as we enjoyed a moderate saturday night instead of the usual drink until you pass out evening we have after a race.

it was nice of some of the guys to come down and say hello.

hi sanger what were you in this weekend? and how did it go?

congrats to Terry and Rod.

Hey beer baron,

I was competing in the regularity section and in the group s enduro in car 131 which is a sunbeam alpine. It was my first race meeting as i only got my licence in march and i was just driving my girlfriends dads car. Lots of fun. That was the first time i had driven eastern creek to.

I went really well for my first time, The car broke in practise so i didnt actually get to do any laps till the racing, but that just adds to the excitment. In the 25 lapper we started last on the grid due to not posting a time in practice but by the time i got out for the driver change i had the car about 20th and we did a pretty quick change and ended up finishing in 18th.

    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.

    • Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.
    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
