Good son of rajab theres been some corkers this weekend.

Its like making a cordial drink man. The aim is to make MORE drink, but at the same have the same strength taste. Uv got the ability with your big turbo to pour (move more air) more water into the glass, but where as a weak (lean) drink will just agitate you.. a lean mixture will uncontrollably ignite in your engine and pop it.

FPR (and pressure raise) + SAFC will allow some leeway... but really, if you KNOW you want power, and have a bigger tahbin in mind, grab a real aftermarket ECU and some injectors, sell the FPR and tune to your next bottleneck.

Its not just about a free flowing water source, u gota be able to accurately meter your cordial concentrate delivery, otherwise its weak city and boom.

That my friend, is a GREAT analogy. very good

could've used scotch, but cordial's more PG I guess. No one likes watered down scotch.

Although there is a catch, if the wastegate in your turbo is set to a very low boost at standard then running it with no aftermarket ECU should be safe, it won't be the best, but it'll be safe. I mean, if you had a TD06 25G, and the wastegate was set to 8 PSI (hypothetically speaking of course) then its no different to a standard sized turbo with a wastegate set to 8 PSI, as after it reaches this amount of pressure both turbos will bypass. In fact being a bigger turbo you might find that at lower RPM's the turbo dosen't spool up fast enough to push as much air, and thereby gives you a RICHER mixture. However this is only if your bigger turbo runs an internal wastegate that's set to a close to stock pressure... most aftermarket turbos aren't.

Bottom line, your fuel needs to match the air going in, running rich or lean is not optimal... but too lean can be dangerous.

No entirely accurate.. a bigger turbo at standard boost will still flow more air then a smaller turbo at the same boost. Also the maps will be completely incorrect for the turbo flow.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      How do you propose I cable tie this: To something securely? Is it really just a case of finding a couple of holes and ziptying it there so it never goes flying or starts dangling around, more or less? Then run a 1/8 BSP Female to [hose adapter of choice?/AN?] and then the opposing fitting at the bush-into-oil-block end? being the hose-into-realistically likely a 1/8 BSPT male) Is this going to provide any real benefit over using a stainless/steel 1/4 to 1/8 BSPT reducing bush? I am making the assumption the OEM sender is BSPT not BSPP/BSP

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      I fashioned a ramp out of a couple of pieces of 140x35 lumber, to get the bumper up slightly, and then one of these is what I use

      I wouldn't worry about dissimilar metal corrosion, should you just buy/make a steel replacement. There will be thread tape and sealant compound between the metals. The few little spots where they touch each other will be deep inside the joint, unable to get wet. And the alloy block is much much larger than a small steel fitting, so there is plenty of "sacrificial" capacity there. Any bush you put in there will be dissimilar anyway. Either steel or brass. Maybe stainless. All of them are different to the other parts in the chain. But what I said above still applies.

      You are all good then, I didn't realise the port was in a part you can (have!) remove. Just pull the broken part out, clean it and the threads should be fine. Yes, the whole point about remote mounting is it takes almost all of the vibration out via the flexible hose. You just need a convenient chassis point and a cable tie or 3.

      ..this is the current state of that port. I appreciate the info help (and the link to the Earls thing @Duncan). Though going by that it seems like 1/4 then BSP'ing it and using a bush may work. I don't know where I'd be remote mounting the pressure sender... to... exactly. I assume the idea here is that any vibration is taken up by the semiflexible/flexible hose itself instead of it leveraging against the block directly. I want to believe a stronger, steel bush/adapter would work, but I don't know if that is engineeringly sound or just wishful thinking given the stupendous implications of a leak/failure in this spot. What are the real world risks of dissimilar metals here? It's a 6061 Aluminum block, and I'm talking brass or steel or SS adapters/things.
