haha have you posted these to stir everyone up Malcolm?

these are just standard cars in good condition. and a bit old.

don't get me wrong....I like them.

Hi there ! :)

Duncan Duncan ! - shame on you ! - hehe !!

No not at all ! - its this kind of thing that reeeeeeaally appeals to me. Except as mentioned id personally lose the chrome and shiny braided hoses and go for more of a factory look but hey thats just cosmetic and so so easy to adjust - but hey thats just "my" opinion.

Its the fact that after 30 to 40 years there is still examples of cars in this condition that arnt in the nissan museum. I think its great !! - in fact as i also said i dont care what type of car it is - any car in this condition is ok by me - doesnt have to be Pebble Beach Concourse just cars in immaculate condition - theres a company in the uk doing nut & bolt ground up shell dipping restorations of e-type jags but with more up to date suspension/electronics/brakes etc etc - brilliant stuff !

Its this part or facet of motoring that i feel im into most with the driving of them second - dont get me wrong i love driving but when theyre in this condition i like it that much more !!

Cheers malcolm :D

    • 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
