an update.....

we (well maybe I) decided it could live with some more turbo lag with the SC to look after things down low.

So it is at Hills Motorsport getting a GTR T28 turbo and new manifold put on.

At the same time it became clear that it has a fair bit of blow by already, so we have order a set of forged bottom end bits from some wierd little japanese car guy in hokaido that used to race them. and a catch can to keep it sort of under control in the meantime.

yep it says "an intake restrictor". that got a bit tricky for GTR with 2 intakes but the mighty march only has 1 intake.

I figure the only chance for a turbo car in IPRA is either spend way more than 1 can afford, or something light and small enough that the restrictor won't limit power. No chance of 900cc making make 350hp so I am safe.

oh yeah, just reminded me, the GTRs or and other car with 2 intakes need to run 2 26mm restrictors.

lol 7 bar sounds nice. might have a bit of trouble holding the head on.

in unrelated news....I saw pics of the super turbo's older brother today....its a 1985 K10 March Turbo. Love the dash and steering wheel...

they dont have any trouble holding the heads down, the problem is stopping the block splitting in half and leaving the crank + pistons down the bottom and the head/cyls elsewhere. :/

Just reading the regs on all of this duncan, I think you'll be stuck with two restrictors...

For vehicles utilising a turbine type compressor, the restrictor must be fitted as per diagram 254.4 (see “Rally/Road” in the CAMS Manual of Motor Sport), save that the maximum internal diameter of the air intake into the compressor is 36.0mm where a single supercharging device is fitted, or 27.0mm where two devices are fitted.

PS: I haven't finished reading ths damn 3 million page long manual, so there may be something I've missed...

    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car

    • I believe @Duncan has given it a crack at Mt Buller before (in actual race conditions)
    • All my Polish car culture insight comes from watching Nightride. So I half expect this to get 1UZ swapped eventually?! Are you going to drive it in winter? I'm always curious how ATTESA would hold up in the snow. There isn't that much opportunity to try it in Australia.  
    • My steering lock unit on my Infiniti G37 has failed. The car is a local 2012 Infiniti G37 (Q60 ) I need to replace the unit My local mechanic said i need to buy a complete steering wheel assembly. Does anybody no any mechanics in Gold Coast or Brisbane who can fix this issue or where i can buy just the Steering lock control unit. Thanks
