Next step, we replace that front bar... :P What boost is it currently running at Rob?

10 on stock turbo.

Frontbar will be done along with bonnet

But next maybe exhaust get rid of those holes or replace the exhaust.

Today was a good day (Friday)

Drove to Grants got lost trying to find a atm, then got lost again trying to navigate the streets where grant lives.

That aside i now have a Apex Hybrid Return Flow intercooler

That looks like a rb20 fmic with a custom pipe to make it fit.

I have the exact same fmic but mine bolted straight up without that extra shiny pipe.

How much it set you back?

Well it was Rob Forbes' ex track car... and he did a hideous backyard respray of the front bar before sale, with what looks to be zero prep to the surface. Paint is chipping off like he didn't even wash it down before painting it.

Rest of the car isn't too bad... mainly just the bonnet and front bar.

    • Possibly avoid using a Cometic one unless the deck/head surface are perfectly flat. I did have a look just then and forgiving gaskets such as Tomei or Nitto don't exist for the FJ20, however the Bar-Tek or Kameari ones look good and might do the trick.
    • Because pipe threads for pipe things. M threads for bolt things. Throw some teflon sealant onto it and dust your hands off knowing you did the right thing, instead of going twice around the block to achieve a result using the wrong things. Of course, all of these solutions are ignoring the fact that the minimum thread pitch we're talking about here is 1.25mm, with the 1/4" in NPT or BPS being out around 1.4mm. You will need to know that the boss you're tapping has enough thickness for at least a few threads. That's one of the reasons that 1/8" is commonly used - because the pitch is <1mm. And why would you look to use 1/4" NPT in a BSP country anyway? Ugh.
    • Just throwing around ideas, does it need to be in the compressor cover? Why not the hot side piping?
    • 1/8NPT drill size = 8.7mm. Since the hole got messed up by me, it’s probably around 9mm.    So 1/4” NPT would be next step. A drill size of around 11mm would be preferred there which is not way of my M12 (drill 10.5mm and tap M12 threads)
