I wish, each piece is indexed into a spiral to fit the confined space then sanded internally to smooth it out. I would be doing nearly as much welding with the pressed doughnuts and they aren't cheap or tight enough.

The hole in the doughnut would need to be no bigger than about an inch.

I don't mind the welding, its good practice. :huh:

why dont you get it ceramic coated??

Cost.

I got enough ceramic wrap to do 20 inductions for $50, and I aint ripping the exhaust manifolds off to coat unless I have custom ones to go on. (with a gt3076 of course)

Alright, so latest (and last) fuel economy update for those that are interested

Usual trips to and from work with a (very) heavy foot :P and about 100kms worth of freeway cruising

65L

549kms

roughly 8.5km/L or 11.8L/100kms.... so still good IMO

not bad without a tune! :D

22kw increase, not bad I thought.

Cihan thought I may be maxing the compressor so I guess i need to free up more restrictions, like the turbo outlet pipe next. Must be well over 400 horse at the crank now so the ATP highflow is doing pretty well considering.

Mmm, need to find some way of jigging these up off the car. Anybody got a spare turbo laying around? :D

will do soon, Cam had it but it has gone to be rebuilt and the broken one will be off the car next week.

I cen send it to you when I get it back if that will speed up the process.

Cheers

    • 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.
