Ok, so we may as well start organising the next one now: I'm thinking late November/early December. Down this end is heaps easier for me to do the recce runs etc, unless someone else wants to try it further North..??

Let's get some dates proposed and an endpoint agreed upon, then we can sort out a route. I do have a good one in mind, as long as you're all happy to come down this way (Gold Coast) again...

Oh yeah, new rule: Cheddar MUST bring the promised cupcakes :(

Ha! Nice one Micah, I like your style :)

Yeah late nov early dec sounds good. I'd be keen to look at at a route further north. But it's pretty nice down there.

Whatever's clever trevor.

Keep us posted

Cheers,

Dave-

hey what about a drive through mt glorious & nebo then go out around wivenhoe and somerset dams. there is some nice bbq area down that way too..

u've just gotta get a day where there's no cops on neebo/glorious running their "don't let bikers kill themselves" campaigns.

Tried that earlier this year: the drive was great, but given how crowded the dam was, and the fact that you can't reserve a bbq, everyone sort of wandered off and did their own thing... it kind of fizzled out after we all arrived. That's why having the bbq at Myles' place was so good: guaranteed parking, access to a bbq, and we had the place to ourselves...

    • 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
