Wake up start drinking, jump on public transport 2 summer nats then stay there all day & run mucks, go clubing @ night time! Then wake up shit faced sunday, hang out for a bit 2 recover! Then back 2 melb! :D

Its always my favorite road trip of the year! Very Recommended! :)

Nope :)

But thanks for starting this thread, It reminded me that I haven't organised my media pass yet.... Just did it then!! :)

No probs hun! :) Just Not happy that you rejected me from the launch! :)

It not so much a bogan fest anymore! I like it coz different ppl from all walks of life & backgrounds, from all over australia come together coz we love cars & some come for the perve! But its all good! 1 of the best 24 hours of my life was in Canberra for the nats 2004! But thats a story for another day kiddies! :wub:

been working there for the last 5 years in the dyno cells

not finalised if im goin this year may though

crazy car festival eats any car show in vic

so much of everything in one place

i have over the last few years seen the migration of v8s with forced induction take off

but jap stuff is still in the big hp area as well as insane naturally aspirated 8s

great car show to go to but yes there are pissed bogans by about 4 oclock that demand burnouts in any car that is still game to cut laps around

Should be going up this time around. Yes,its a traditional Holden/Ford event but a GTR won the 6 cylinder class last year beating my best mate by 10hp.

He should be ready within a month to try and win his class on the dyno. In of all things a Holden(Isuzu) rodeo.

    • 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
