Well done man. I bet that makes all the late nights working on the car after work worthwhile now?!

Reece's car is in a totally different catagory. Bloody lightweight, stripped out race car on slicks with a HKS2.8l egine. Theo's rocket is a full weight, full interior(except stereo and back seat) street based car on street radials running the factory 2.6l crank/capacity.

Keir Wilson's street radial time is well within reach now. 8.89 at 160 at jambo a couple of years a ago with an OS 3.0l and much lighter car as well. I take it that is the next nymber you are chasing hey?!

rec 0.432

60 1.427

330 3.859

660 5.853

mph 124.24

1000 7.542

ET 8.957

mph 159.86

kph 257.27

genuine congratulations theo.

it will be nice to see that 60 foot drop with the slicks.

159 mph is quick, proves its making good horsepower.

reaction is good too.

hopefully you can take this into competition and gets some wins on the board.

shane >_<

big marky J will be back for the grabbing , but big congrats

The fact that Mark tuned the car for Theo this time shows the sort of bloke Mark Jacobsen is and an example of the friendly rivalry in the sport, no cloak and dagger stuff you find in other forms of motorsport. These two guys (theo and mark) are so approachable and the first ones who will be around to give a bit of advice and share the knowledge they have.....top stuff fella's.

    • 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
