As the title says.

I got some from GCG, but they are speedflow/alloy. I'd prefer steel, zinc plated is OK, but stainless would be better.

Nothing wrong with speedflow, just like the durability and hardness of steel.

Before I run up a million dollar bill on std calls, thought I'd ask here first.

PS the oil banjo and banjo bolt from GCG is stainless, so I'm Ok for it.

No you wont. Though it will be tight and you may need to angle the cart slightly to give yourself space to get the fitting on. Mine is angled about 5 degrees anti clockwise looking from the front so the oil fitting clears the number 1 runner on the hks manifold.

But mine has a bolt on adapter to suit the old t3 2 bolt inlet with a 90 degree bend attached to that, and then a male male adapter and then a flexible line so it takes a bit of room :thumbsup:

I don't have water lines so cant help you there, though i figured if i went a water cooled turbo i would just get some earls lines with a 90 on the turbo end and a male male adapter (compression fitting, same as my oil line) screwed into the turbo.

I didn't get the GCG hose kit!!

All I got was the fittings. The oil feed fitting is a banjo and bolt. There is no 90 degree bend, I won't have any problem that I can see. I'll get s/s hose swaged onto the end of the banjo by pirtek/enzed and I'm pretty sure it will fit fine.

The only place I have 90 degree bends is thwe speedflow water line units which I don't want to use, I'd much rather have normal steel banjo and bolt units similar to std fittings.

If your still certain I'll have problems, a pic would be good.

So the water is a 14mm Banjo with a M14 x 1.5 banjo bolt and the oil feed a 7/16 Banjo with a Inverted Flare 7/16-24 Banjo Bolt.

I checked out motorsport connections but they only have the m14x1.5 banjo bolt listed, not the banjo w/hose end its self. Might drop them a line to see if they are available. :S

Im 99% sure ive got one off them before

hey mate iv got some im not using from my HKS 3037 (same turbo your using if i remember properly), cant remember what their made of but i can check out when i get home from work tonight if your still interested

thanks, I'll give them a try. So far, plenty of alloy sfa steel, no s/s.

I can get the bolts in zinc plated [standard] steel, but no web site has what I want. And no banjo's. Pirtek, Enzed, Goodridge, ATP, HPF, and others as well. But you'd have to lay money on someone having exactly what I'm after, I'm just not looking in the right places.

    • The car/ECU will have all the sensor that it needs and expect to have. I think i do not have to explain to you how the Link is way better specialy if you have swapped engine   I just do not want to deal with any "problems" cuz i have only Nistune which i learned is not that great and in my case cant even deal with that speed problem (Link can) And of course it will be way more easier to tune and diagnose and safe. And for the ECU/speed problem...i dont know.
    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
