Will do Martin!

You're in Yarraville if I remember correctly?

Why you party poop and no deca?

Tried a water bottle cap and it's just a bit small, milk cap seems too big. :-/

Newport so close enough.

no seat in car so no racing, parts just not coming in in time.

still coming up, just not driving anymore.

I might have a set of S-chasis rails in my garage...

Swear i've seen the original image on here before but this popped up on my newsfeed....dem photoshop skills.

Yeah that's my picture

Must like taking pics off my FB page. I think Steve runs the FB page, his a nice guy though

Bit of a gay photoshop to be honest

So driving to work this morning for the first time since working on the car all long weekend.... Of course, popped a cooler pipe.

Turbo -> Intercooler... the one underneath everything... had to remove the airbok etc etc etc and get dirty in my work clothes :(
Luckily I stand by carrying all my tools with me for a few days after any mods, just in case :)

Billowing black smoke and strugging to keep idle without revving, turned into a servo after stalling twice.

Happy Hump Day :| 30 minutes late to work on the week where I'm only working for 16 hours, and I need to take some time off on Thursday afternoon so I can get a taxi to go and pick it up from the retune before driving straight to Shepp so I can do Winton on Friday.

If only you went MAP sensor like all the cool kids. You could have driven to work with no boost like a boss.

On the plus side scotty... I hit a little bit of boost just fine the other afternoon... but as soon as rpm and boost went up... it all went to crap and I'm assuming it leaned out (didn't pop a hose, but it blew dark grey smoke and lost power for the 0.5 seconds it was happening)

Retune is booked for tomorrow, and it drives around fine off boost.

Your pipe certainly sounds different to stock when the BOV air enters it... when I let off the gas (from about 2psi) it does its normal shhhhh and then about half a second later (when the air gets back to the intake pipe?) it goes kerchewww. Can't wait to hear it at full song :)

Hopefully no dramas on the Dyno, since I'm leaving for Shepp Thursday evening :/

Ooooo also, New Koyorad and Nismo Thermostat and 1.3Bar Cap = 67c driving temp, 69c max temp over an hour of driving, comes up to temp fast, and stays there rock solid. But yeah, haven't boosted yet.

Also haven't gotten the temperatures high enough for the new Tomei oil cooler w/ thermostat to open up yet.

Who would stock an adaptor which would screw into a hole which is 18mm/1.5mm thread and be able to accept a smaller sensor... unsure of the actual size... about 12mm across perhaps? Will get exact measurements at lunch time. What kind of shops stock fitting like that?

SIMON, you should've replaced the clamps while it's all apart.

One of these days you'll break a clamp in middle of nowhere, like it did for me one time.

    • 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
