I will never do this job again.........

Ever, its a massive head f**k getting everything true and square.

Here is a few crappy I phone photos of pete's rear end. Everythings been seam sealed and roughly painted, needs a coat of under body tar to finish it off.

The rear pins had to be machined up and the chassis modified to mount them, front of the subframe has been cut and shut with new solid mounts machined up, cage will penetrate the floor to add additional strength but the whole thing is done with 4130 molly plate and bar so its bullshit strong anyways.

There is also a rose jointed rear steering set-up for it which is very nice.

Better photos tomorrow in the light old mate

Here is the new and mildly improved rear steering arrangement for Pete's cars

The pins are machined 4130. They pretty much push in and bolt to the original upright removing the horrid factory ball joint on the outter. The arms will remain factory for replacement sakes and 5/8th's rod ends are used for the outters.

The pin straight out of the lathe

    • 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
