isnt his intake only one pipe though? wouldnt that rule only apply if it had two inlets like the GTR does?

It talks about multiple devices.

Not multiple inlets.

It has a SC and a turbo.

IE, 2 devices...

dope is good, right?

I am sure they mean 2x 27mm with 2 intakes, not 1x27 if you have 2 chargers, even if that is what is written (ie I'm sure it can be "fixed" as it is not the intent).

2x27mm = 458mm2 intake

1x38mm = 453mm2 intake

the way the restrictors work they need to be attached to the supercharging device (50mm from the impellor), so you will need one on each device. IPRA is running it's self into the ground with their turbo descrimination.

Is the car homoligated to run IP? won't it be to small and be classed as a 'sports car'?

another good question, although it is a 4 seater so maybe not a sports car. If Lofty's starlet or an early rx7 is ipra, surely this would be too?

on related news I was speaking to an ipra person on the weekend and their "discussions" on turbos are continuing. their current line of thinking is ditch the restrictor but enforce a factory + x boost limit. If they did something sensible they would double competitors within a year.

you been speaking to garry? I've been reading the ipra thread about lmt, i'll be surprised if ip is still going in tassie next year. Most people have got pissed of with having to run A048's and turbo restrictors and gone to the 'Targa' class.

You recon there will be a new national series setup by the time the car is done?

If you are right, I would be keen to enter...eventually lol

OMG I remember this thread.

The March is getting a forged bottom end and big (ie 1x GTR) turbo at the moment. Also has a full sic lumpy cam. Probably running again around March ironically

hahah it drives exactly like an early 80s designed 1litre car would. crap. :D

until boost and boost arrives :D then it's just crazy 80s style torque steer and classic fun

we do need to update the suspension a little, it had trouble with bottoming out the shocks on the track day we took it too.

I remember this thread.

Engine is being put back together at the moment after some other projects took priority.

But I've learned not to estimate dates any more :) I need to get the ute rebuilt first anyway

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
