On another note, ever since I swapped in my standard airbox I'd lost 50-60km per tank of fuel and felt a little down on power. Swapped my pod back in and it's all sweet again. It was tuned with the pod on, but I thought pod vs airbox was supposed to make SFA difference besides sound. Also, Ric is running more power with the standard airbox...you done any mods to the airbox Ric?

Interesting mr birds, I haven't done back to back test between pod and stock air box myself, but was told the same by sfa of difference.

What kind of filter in your stock air box by any chance?

Makes my blood boil those kids should be smacked around severely and the parents as respect starts at home & school

I look at the government schools around my area the kids are all oxygen theives I just know my tax will be paying for there sorry existence when I was at school all sir/mrs stand up when principal came into the room even just basic uniform policy that was enforced is good foundations

Much work to fit the GTR bov? I'm running 16psi and it doesn't always happen, only when the throttle plate slams shut on a fast gear change.

crossover pipe bolts on perfectly but the return pipe is a larger diameter than gtst. the gtr return hose ID is almost the same as the gtst return hose OD. i mcguyver'd it by slipping the gtst hose inside the gtr one and cable ties but would not reccommend cos it makes a horrible honking vibration on partial boost

Cheers Basti, will give it a shot.

P.S. An online charity was set up to support elderly woman and it looks like she'll be getting 100k from it...bit ridiculous but she definitely deserves something after that.

Nah man, bog stock. I remember we took off the snorkel and the lid on the dyno and it made negligible difference. Never had a pod so can't compare.

That sucks though, I'd love a bit more power and better economy lol

This is what happens when parents don't smack their kids. Disgraceful.

lucky you can't really see kids faces (only one shortly) because they would get knocked the f**k out if people saw them

I really want to right now myself

Dad is getting old, crashed his car. I think he had a minor heart attack or something mum told me his chest was hurting last night.

Stubborn prick still went to work instead of doc's

What a way to start the day

no shit. my dad calls me at 7 last night and sez he's gonna be late coming home from work and to tell some dude that he was expecting to visit that he'll take a raincheck. cool cool. so i head out to play some indoor. check my phone after (11pm) and find like 20 billion missed calls from mum. apparently, he had fin work at 4, gone to the docs and was ambo'd to the hospital. they admitted him and held him there for 6hrs then sent him home. first thing he did when he got home was to fill up a glass with scotch. by the time i get home he's passed out drunk on the couch.

for added context, he's had a major heart attack last year.

our dad's should hang out

Anyone know the boost limits of the standard R33 GTS-T bov? Starting to get compressor surge at high boost.

had mine up at 2 bar with no fails (although that could have contributed to the motor failing lol)

    • 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.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
    • I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt 
    • So M12 and sealant should be fine?    NPT ” because that’s what I had and what I could get atm. 
    • Wouldn’t touch par if they gave it to me. You need to ask how much power you’re looking to make and then add about 50% to it because that’s what you’ll end up making  The factory box says no more at about 350kw or so, the upgraded synchro boxes won’t handle much over 500kw for long and at that point you’re looking at an auto or dog engagement manual,  once you’ve gone dog engagement you may as well go sequential, they cost a little bit more but it’s worth it  also while you’re at it you should upgrade the transfer case with 10 friction plates
