I haven't heard yet, but have been too busy to ask.

I've annoyed Ben a fair bit lately asking about various changes, so one more "are we there yet" and it will probably come back in pieces, or worse making 140 KW.

Fingers crossed, accomm booked and leave pass organised.... :D

"Hi Ben, it's BBGTR here, is my car ready yet is my car ready yet?"

"140kw at the wheels you say? uhh ok"

thats fine with me! then you'll never catch me!!!! :(

I've just realised I need a new fire extinguisher after Winton's effort!! :D

Well it's all coming together.....

Hi all

Just a quick note to let you know that I have received and accepted your entries for the Piarc October Sprint,

Thank you for entering and I will see you on the Saturday and Sunday morning.

Gates open at 7am on Saturday and 8am on Sunday.

Regards

Theresa Ford

Everyone is dropping like flies! Aarons not making it, no idea if Jack is, Ben's obviously out as well. Haven't heard how Jesus is going either so I might yet have to wave the Vic skyline flag.

I WILL be there, brand new turbo sitting on Ben's desk ready to go in..... :D

Yep - I sent a bank cheque too... As did Fooey... Neither of us got a response.

Maybe they just took our cash and ran!?!?

No email either.

I sent a bank cheque so i wouldn't know if that went through either.

Andrew, was there a contact number on the confirmation email you received?

Good to see you'll be down there Archie. As Snowy said, no ph. number unfortunately.

Wind the boost into that big single mate, and I'll sit behind for a tow!

Regards

Andrew

Thanks Bec

I emailed Theresa so I'll wait to see if i hear from her.

Andrew

LOL hardly. I saw your car last weekend and I know she's sorted now so if anyones going to be sitting behind it'll be me >_<

Still, I would love to follow you around to see the differences between our cars.

Well my car is on the back-burner cause of PI this weekend and the need to get a number of cars ready :sorcerer:

Not like i need it in a hurry anyhow lol.

So there should at least be a few going >_<

Yeah I got the same email yesterday, and I stated on the form that I'll pay cash on the day...

My car is finished and ready to go!!!!

Now with (a little) more power....

Can't wait to do another full track day...(fingers crossed)

    • 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
