Nah, I got a ceramic turbo... the nylons are series 2 R33's.

Jish, don't be talkin' whack about my mother, I'll bust you up, son.

Edit: On the turbo thing, the ceramics will handle up to 14psi before they start coming apart... the nylons are worse, so the story goes... 12-13 being the break point... but some people might get lucky and get a good turbo from a good batch that can handle a bit more... personally I'm not worried about bits going down my exhaust, but VERY worried about bits of shattered impeller blade making their way into my plenum and into the engine. They'd have to make their weay through about 2m of piping and the intercooler... but still... at the cost of the engine, I'd rather not gamble.

Sorry Matt, just editted post as you posted. Read back.

Edit, again: I seem to remember something about ceramics holding and holding and holding and then just letting go with a loud crack, whereas the nylon internals will peel and seperate over a period... dunno how long the period is, but I'd say that as soon as it starts, damage will increase exponentially.

What happens with the engine remains to be seen... that's off in the future, anyway. Changeover will happen... er... when I can afford a few other bits and then sort out the plan of attack. Probably before the end of October.

ah ok ... thought you might use an aftermarket on.e I'm still yet to how well a power fc works with a 3L twin cammer motor ..... I know a lot of people don't think much of the power fc as not every tuner can tune one but i believe give it to a tuner who has a fair knoledge of tuning and has tuned on many many different ecu and they will be able to tune it well. Plus its a damn cheap ecu for one that is closed loop .....

We will, its just fun to try and guess what times a car will do.  althouhg last time i had quite a few people tell me that i would do a 13 without adoubt but I never ended up doing one so it was a bit disappointing ......... hmm I better shutup now don't want to have some be disappointed in their car .... anyway guys a 13 second street car is still damn fast and would beat the majority of cars on the street .....

Yeah its great fun, but mind u i also like getting my dick caught in a blender,

By the way guys we are getting a present for geno. I'll buy it and court is going to be my debt collector. Be afraid that bitch scares me. Not posting what we are getting cause i don't want any retard telling him. But we can get it engraved with eveyones name, or just the collective group. Bad news on the keg front too. Damn it just have to drink corona. Those pricks, but hey i'm a survivor as christina says.

    • If you are Ecutek tuned then these TCU tunes are anywhere from $550 to $700 usd. If you are not ECUTEK tuned, then it gets costly!    
    • Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?
    • Cats are called Bella, and Donna...  Like that poisonous plant And I remember your 2 monsters, I remember making a little bit of wee when you let them out... LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it  
    • All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.
    • That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
