unfortunatly I think I'm stuck with the short ram tubes now with the welding, and any other way to set up the linkages prevented the throttle bodies operating fully or properly

though the gizzmo thermal gaskets are 0.0160" (4.07mm) thick so in a way I could say I have a 0.320" (8.13mm) thick spacer

I went into Precision and measured up a couple boxes of rb30 H-beam conrods and made sure that each rod length was exactly the same length, 0 tolerance. I then bought a set of forged JE + 0.040" "RB30

You should put the twin turbo centre cover back on...really confuse the local police :whistling:

Lol talking about the popo, had an obviously under cover cop change lanes at the last second to sit behind me at the lights, i took off as normal, changed gears, he then went back to the lane he originally was in, maybe he lost interest after not hearing any turbo related items

I hope the engine is solid mounted!

Nope brand new, but they get a decent work out, might have to look into getting engine struts

      Cas issue

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.

      R34 4 door side skirt identification

      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.

      boost source Size Garrett gt28 gen2

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      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.
