hahahahah

yeah it was the loose cannon behind the wheel! heheh

Richard - thanks for the kind words mate - exactly right, Im glad it never happened to me when I had the R33! that would have been costly!

lol dont worry, your SR20 is safe!

Charles @ Ando - maybe 5 years time I'll have an SR in there! or....maybe 5 years time I'll have a mx5 SP turbo racer!

So yeah, car is back at mine, going to be sitting under the bed sheets in the garage for a couple months till after my wedding and honeymoon.

The guys at Unigroup had a look at it all and feel it shouldnt be too hard to fix, minor damage. So plan is Tony at All cylinder heads will do head work with some port and pollishing. Im going to buy some cams, and get it put back together and tuned. pistons dont look damaged, worst case a valve or two may be bent. well, fingers crossed its minor!!!

Now you are talking - forget the SR20 go for something big.

I can just see a LS1 under the bonnet of your red baby and I am sure that Stuart will head you in the right direction with the install.

V12 is a winner for sure. just don't think about the iridium spark plug bill on that bad boy! lol. only 3 times your current donk and probably as much as a BP engine rebuild.

LOL

I'll get them to take some for me!

And unfort I was going to do a bit of a bigger build...however with just purchasing a house I can really afford to just get the head fixed.

Was going cams, ecu, maybe pistons etc but sadly, getting just the head fixed will have to do for now.

at least I'll be back on the track hopedully soon, been to bloody long!! (december!!)

  • 3 weeks later...

should be back by end of the week ;)

who wants to guess my rw killawasps!?!?!?!?!?!

so yeah, the head wasnt as badly damaged as first thought. a few broken valves, head has now had some extra work done with it so maybe another few hp im hoping haha

    • Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.
    • 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.
