Hello,

My name is Julius and I like nice long drives on full boost, the smell of fresh air and the crisp clean sounds of 30mhz frequencies.

Recently I bought a 2002 Stagea AXIS, and I must say I am very impressed. I liked it better than the ARX because the ride was firmer and I reckon the cornering was far better than the ARX. Of course the BOSE stereo helped sway me across. Overall it is very tidy and runs like a Gem.

Sadly the fuel consumption is far from the 11/100k cycle rate Nissan quotes, I am roughly getting 20l/100, so hopefully it is due to my excitement driving. I would be happy with 15l/100. But I expected this before deciding to purchase, my Evo 6.5 only runs 11-13l/100. Hopefully it will sort it's self out.

The only other niggle is that it takes a while for the boost to come on, if I floor it from a standstill it seems to take longer to spool on to boost, but the other gears are sweet.

I look forward to a cruise day or the likes...

Jules

      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
