hey guys i have noticed that alot of people put their turbo timers in a 32 gtst in their ash tray enclosed so it cant be seen unless u open the ash tray. just wondering which turbo timers fit in the ash trays, like which ones people have in theirs that fit easily or if there are any modifications needed. (preferably newer auto turbo timer models).

thanx guys any help much appreciated give us ur 2 cents. (pics and stuff too cheers)

I know a guy who has his Blitz SBC in his ashtray and fits perfectly! As for a turbo timer, i think the best place for it would be underneath the drivers side dash.. just cable tie it... and if you need to adjust the idle time its not too far away.. i have seen baby turbo timers for $59 at www.justjap.com that would fit in the ashtray easily.. or you can double side tape it just under the fuse pannel on the driverside... besides we all need our ashtrays to keep our shrapnel for the toll.. ;)

P.S. Turbo timers void your comprehensive insurance policy (Just Car Insurance)

Cheers,

    • Depending on the hose, sometimes engine out is the easiest option  
    • Get an inspection camera up there. 
    • Yeah, but look at the margin in viscosity between the 40 and the 60 at 125°C. It is not very large. It is the difference between 7 and 11 cP. Compare that to the viscosity at only 90°C. The viscosity axis is logarithmic. The numbers at 90 are ~15 and ~35. That is about half for the 40 wt oil and <half for the 60. You give up viscosity EXPONENTIALLY as temperature rises. Literally. That is why I declare thicker oil to be a bandaid, and a brittle one at that. Keep the oil temperature under about 110°C and you should be better off.   Having said all of that, which remains true as a general principle, if you have indeed lost enough oil from the sump that the pump was seeing slightly aerated oil, then all bets are off. That would of course cause oil pressure to collapse. And 35 psi is a collapse given what you were doing to the engine. Especially if the oil was that hot and viscosity had also collapsed. And I would put money on rod or main bearings being the source of the any noise that registered as knock. Hydraulic lifters should be able to cope with the hotter oil and lower pressure enough to prvent too much high frequency noise, although I am willing to admit it could be the source.
    • Thanks for the reply mate. Well I really hope its a hose then not engine out job
