also, bought car with cooked motor, you just did a mohsen.

seriously now.

do LS TT

no... buying a car with a blown motor would only be a mohsen if the motor blew on the drive home

Still deciding, it will really depend what comes up. If a built 26 pops up, I'll consider that for a cheap and risky way out. Otherwise, budget may allow for RacePace to rape my wallet.

Was making 340awkw with the HKS turbos before engine issues (it's actually still quite driveable and the engine idles smoothly besides the sound, so don't know how far gone it is), which sounds plenty for me in a street car. I'd like to put it on sugar cane for response, though.

On the cosmetic side of things

This was a very nice 33R at Sandown on the weekend

Thanks gents

It's gotta get to Melbourne first and that was an absolute nightmare organising transport on the day I was supposed to be flying back :O

Transporter knocked it back cause needed 15cm ground clearance so I had to remove the front lip and leave it in ACT...no biggie as it was damaged anyway. Took off the brake ducts too but they are with me.

Chuck a thicker oil and she'll be right moite.

I've done my share of interstate car towing...prolly would have if I still had access to a race car trailer and time wasn't an issue.

$400 depot to door from Canberra, pretty happy with that.

    • 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)
