Big fan of this mad_wog dude!

i know alot about lamborghini's

i cant say expert, but i have loved them since i saw one, not long after i came to australia...

uncle hired a VT6.0 convertible once and took me for a nice long drive...

and yeah...

i dont need to read up on them, i now alot of stuff off the top of my head, like the lambo 4x4 does the 0-100 dash in 7.5 or so seconds! thats nealry 3 tonnes, but is running a 400 bhp v12 out of a countach, which was detuned to run on normal unleaded.... best diablo would be the vttt, 1250 hp, 1000 at rear wheels, 250 at front... after they blew it up, then the put a 8.4 liter motor (instead of the 5.7) lol

btw, i would regard myself as highly knowledgeable regarding lamborghini

From what I can gather, he's been in a Lamborghini and is therefore the Cailais Turbo forums resident expert on the matter.

Red Book gives the following evaluation for the car (assuming the details on VL Turbo are correct)

1998 LAMBORGHINI DIABLO

SV Coupe 2dr Man 5sp 5.7i

Prices based on km 90,000 - 160,000

Trade in price guide* $129,400 - $141,900

National average price - private sale* $145,000 - $159,200

Price when new (RRP) $463,947

There could be many reasons why the car wasn't insured but obviously the guy now realises that was a mistake. In regards to the structure of the car I would say the best evidence that the car crumbled as it was designed to do would be the photo of the two occupants standing nearby and not displying any need for immediate medical attention.

    • 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.
