Thanks Dale yeah its what i do for a living mate but i would like to start doing more car stuff though as people tend to appreciate nice pipework under a bonnet more than in a factory haha hopefully ill get it sorted this afternoon and get it on the dyno sometime this week am keen as hell to push the lil GTX and see how many horsepowers she is good for

Looks like you're pretty handy in the fabrication stakes there Mick. Well done, now get into running this thing up with some boost into it. :)

Looks like my car wont hit the rollers till Friday night now id say :whistling:

Gives me a bit of time to get my pressure test done and weld in my point for the boost control pinch.gif

Hoping this turbo has more than the 320kw that some have predicted and considering that it made 312kw with boost pissing out of it while it was trying to pump 22psi down her neck so im hoping to see 330kw at least! Or maybe im dreaming haha but bring on near 350 i say!:thanks:

I reckon 335rwkw @ 25psi plus with all the problems sorted out :P

PS your pipework looks awesome. Wish I could do that!

Id be happy with 335kw lol hoping this pipework helps boost and throttle response as i think those boost leaks may have been hindering my response

Thanks Justo keen to start doing more work like this i enjoy it :thumbsup:

Hows ya ride coming along?

Thanks mate yeah bit the bullet and got rid of that ugly crap haha for sure mate always keen for a chat with a fellow enthusiast :)

Looks good Mick.. so glad you did away with that half peeled spongey crap piping.. Ill probably be working or hanging out at unigroup on friday arvo so be sure to say hi!

Not much progress unfortunately, crank is back at the crank place getting the crank collar fitted. Should have done it in the first place. :pirate:

Hey Mick_o, are you still running the "small can" 14psi actuator, or did you end up changing to the 18 or 19psi big can one?

Thanks sarge thats not actually a bad idea! Never even considered running it that way as i had my mind set on shortening up that pipe as much as possible but i like the idea of keeping the pipework outta the heat i think what ive done with my pipework would be less prone to heat soak as im nowhere near the radiator and there is less pipework directly over the top of the engine which should help keep intake temps down imo

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
