f*kin hell.....

Had the car for 3 hrs - driving along in 2nd, accelarating, doing about 70ks - All of a sudden BANG. The rear lock up - blue smoke everhwere from the 300 semi slicks skidding from the lockup.

Can won't move - Engine OK - Can put in first, but it aint going anywhere.

I think the crown wheel in the diff shat itself and has locked into the spider pinion gears - rendering the locker diff really locked.

Had to leave car where it is and walk home in bare feet on the road - for 6kms - Forgot my mobile,

f*k it - I was just going round the (big) block to get some milk.

Back to the workshop.......

f*k it f*k it - 14 months in the workshop and it lasted 3 hours - not happy jan !

Car is at workshop now - We think it's the diff but need to pull it apart to tell. I hope it's the crownwheel - so I just get another one and away we go -

But my feeling is that it is more than that is the whole axle is sitting about 2" to the left of centre - may have broken some suspension in the fierce lockup.

Apart from that little incident - the think pulls like a $50 whore from 5000 rpm to 6500 rpm. In other words - the turbo is too big - Looking at options for this now....

Went thru twin charge option with mechanic - that was my preference - I nearly bought an SC14 ($350) for it. But my guy says turbo is too small for this and the boost/revs overlap wouldn't be worth it.

Re smaller rear - being a KKK turbo - they are uncommon - spoke to Brett at CGC and they need to see the rub to match it - this would be best option. WE may be lucky that something may fit - FOund out rear AR is 1.15 - far out - if I had known that before..... oh well picked the KKK up for a song.

NOS - GREAT - but I wanna use it on the street.....as well.

GT3071 would be ideal but no $$ left ($1600)

Thought of getting new cams - but new turb would be similar $$

Also thought of overboring to a 2.4L

      boost source Size Garrett gt28 gen2

      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
