Hi

I missed out on Sydneykids kit but he was good enough to refund the money

Bit of a mix up with courier arriving and me away. Wife too.

Hope to get some of his other gear later.

Sydneykid has some great posts

after selling us shit engines..maybe he doesn't wnan show his face ne more.

Did you ever recieve or go ahead with the engine? I remember hearing/seeing you saying something about wanting an engine, but it took ages to get done (could've been someone else).

You say 'shit engines' so I assume you got it?

Sydneykid has contributed heaps to this site.

Infact Felix paid $8000AUD, he could've converted that to NZD last year and go just over $10k :action-smiley-069:

which is the starting rate for a RIPS forged package :S

RB30 Bare forged bottom ends (short block), start at NZD$10,450 (suit minimum 750hp and 8000 rpm) Ripsltd.co.nz

oh well, you live and learn, could've paid a bit extra and gone to RIPS for an RB30, as for suspension and brakes and other things SydneyKid definitely knows what he is doing, I can definitely see why Felix is pretty pissed, that's a lot of money :S

    • Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.
    • 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.
