this topic came up on another forum i'm on, and Ben from J-Spec said the same thing..

that bus with the non turbo 13B was used in a hilly region... how it even got up a hill I'll never know, must have been pretty depressing. Still, only something like 10 of them were ever made so rotary collectors were gaga over it, from memory the seller wanted over a hundred grand.
it boggles my mind why you would combine such a heavy chassis with an engine with no bottom end torque.

because GM and mazda had dealings going on back in the 70's and GM 'genoursly' donated a bunch of chassis to mazda, a gift of sorts. thats my understanding of it anyway

we came across a bus a while back that had over 1 million genuine km's on it.

yeah 20B would go alright, no lack of torque from them, they make like 450nm or something last time i checked?

ahahha i just wanna see that bus with a maztec (or similar) built 13B, big single, external gate, launching off the transbrake and holding just that little bit of angle (on slicks of course) the entrie way down the 1/4

    • If there's enough meat in the housing where you want to put the M12 adapter, then do it, but be aware that if/when you f**k that up you'll probably be repairing it before doing anything else. I'd just drill it out and tap ina 1/4" thread. No need for rocket surgery when the next most obvious thing will do. You could throw a 1/4 x 1/8 bush in there and use the same fitting you intended to use.
    • Is the only issue that the oil catch can is getting filled on hard runs? I'd be thinking more about oil control issues rather then the head lifting, especially as you aren't seeing spiking in the coolant pressure.  Do you need restrictors in the head, or better drains from the head? Does the sump need venting to the catch can?
    • Tried to make 1/8npt threads into compressor house of the turbo for my EBC. Threads got fu#ked and ended up with and elongated hole, so I do have good amount and nice threads 90% of the hole but 10% I only had 1-2threads there and rest of it is flush on that side of the hole.. So my idea is to do M12 x 1.25 to AN4 with braided lines instead of 1/8npt to 4mm vacuum silicone hose.  and hopefully get a better thread. M12 is quite big and AN4 is a little bit bigger than 4mm (4.9mm inner diameter braided PTFE hose). but this should work. Thoughts? Otherwise I will weld and adapter onto the turbo.   
    • Looks great, I hope everything is working well after all that time!
