good luck with the car looks awesome good luck getting it engineered for comp and regoed with that mofo turbo... and the epa will rape you up da ass. esp once they see your website...2ndly with a car like that worth the extra to send via container it is not usually the wharfies rather soemtimes the crew on the ship.. all cars sent by container never had an item pinched inc a a power fc handcontroller left under the seat.. most cars sent by ship had stereos gauges and cd stackers ripped.

okay, i'm gonna ask a really really stupid question here:

80% of the cars i've seen photos of that are still in japan look like they're taken in the same garage as yours dude?!?!?

what gives? anyone?

That will go like stink with 2835R turbo on it.. heat wrapped pipes too shows its been tuned properly by a decent tuning house..that thing will GO .. maybe 250rwk ? hard to tell of course.. but yeah, looks like a beauty, and it will go fast

bastard :)

yeah was bought at osaka.

i had it moved to go in container but bank lost my contract so it took for ever to pay and the next container ship would have arrived too late so it had to come by car ship.

i just realised that they tried to steal the steering wheel too, two of the bolts are missing which i assumed they always were, but they are in the pics from japan.

already complied, problem is rwc and rego, epa should be fine they are easily fooled.

inark, i have no idea where you live. if by factories you mean moorabin/cheltanham, then ill be going to ICE alot soon to get it tuned and sh*t.

dave, you might get a ride if you bring those rims down for me... but just realised that they have to be able to take 225 tyres! yes and if your around your woman whenever i see her next you might get one then...

    • 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
    • I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt 
    • So M12 and sealant should be fine?    NPT ” because that’s what I had and what I could get atm. 
    • Wouldn’t touch par if they gave it to me. You need to ask how much power you’re looking to make and then add about 50% to it because that’s what you’ll end up making  The factory box says no more at about 350kw or so, the upgraded synchro boxes won’t handle much over 500kw for long and at that point you’re looking at an auto or dog engagement manual,  once you’ve gone dog engagement you may as well go sequential, they cost a little bit more but it’s worth it  also while you’re at it you should upgrade the transfer case with 10 friction plates
