Finished work at 12:30am, decide to go into civic. i get into civic and decide to get a subway. as soon as i park, these guys in a pink VL turbo get pulled over by the Fuzz right behind me, so i'm parked in. i figure they'll be gone by the time i get my subway. i get back to the car, they're still there arguing about something stupid. i press the remote to get into my car, nothing. i press again... still nothing. i hold the bugger down until i almost break it, nothing. i sit there thinking... then just open the door manually. the alarm breaks into song at full anooying volume, and i rush into the car to get the bonnet open to turn the siren off. i'm doing all this while 3 cops and 4 blokes in this VL turn and watch me. The coppers keep an eye on me the whole time they're there as i fiddle with this and that.

The cops move on, and i end up calling NRMA, who take only an hour to get there. The guy gets into my car, fiddles with the alarm, then digs into the recesses of under my dash, pulling everything out. after 10 minutes of trying to get the car started, he pulls his head out "nah, sorry mate, she's f#$ked" apparently its the only time he hasn't been able to get around an imobiliser/alarm system.

He calls a tow truck for me, which then arrives another hour later. we hook it all up, then he starts to drag it up the truck. there goes my front bar and exhaust tip. i finally get home a good 3 hours after i finished work with a car that has its dash in pieces and no go...

Now i have a splitting headache

wonder what the hell woulda caused it? seems pretty ramdon dude, exhaust tip would prob be fine, it'd be under it anyway, any idea on what happened to the front bar?

so when u went to switch the alarm off i guess u just used ur lil alarm key? i thought that would have let u start the car then, or maybe it doesnt shut the immob off? fully ramdon dude, subway had better have been daaamn tasty!!

hehe, i mean the front bar and exhaust tip were gone as in they got the crap scraped out of them when being pulled up onto the tow truck.

Luckily there's an auto electrician around the corner at the servo, but i'll have to wait until tuesday to get it looked at, stupid public holidays.

On another note, does anyone know of a good sparky who does house calls? not being able to start my car means i can't get it to a shop.

I know a good auto sparky in tuggeranong next to the hyperdome. Tuggeranong auto electrics next to Woolworths servo, talk to a guy called stuart. His my sparky and he makes house calls.

Luis.

      boost source Size Garrett gt28 gen2

      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
