Now needs supercharger / turbo so it actually goes fast.

Oh so an 86 owner is allowed to say this...

but when a NON 86 owner says this it's like we just called your mother a whore

what do you expect us to be like?!? batman? smash you in the face for looking at me?!

lolololololol.

im just a happy chap nowadays, takes alot to wind me up and when someone does i usually feel pity for them instead of anger. :woot:

im too old for that shit.

The problem is you're focusing on the things in life that don't really matter. When I was a kid I had hopes and dreams. We all did. But over time, the daily grind gets in the way and you miss the things that really matter, even though they are right in front of you, staring you in the face. I think the next time you should ask yourself "Am I on the right track here?". Good luck.

It's a bit like the whole black person African American word thing really...there's a lot of history with our underpowered vehicles that you can't relate to and so you shouldn't say things like that.

Didn't end up pricing a kit; the Toyota dealership that was offering them had to pull out of it I think? Not that there aren't aftermarket options but we'll probably look more seriously into it down the track. In the mean time waiting for a turbo that never kicks in kind of sucks. I feel like a performance car should be able to break traction when you are foot flat to the floor, that it should have that limit that stops you going pedal to the metal - hard to go back from this.

    • 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
