Going Wakefield 14th September, you come. We'll see who shreds a gearbox 1st.

Eh, I'm all about roll racing now ....

a lot easier on the car than drag/circuit, don't have the money or willingness to break things like you do lol

 

 

My car is full of cheap non-NASA spec parts, hence can afford to push it right up to the limits and over too.

I'm sure I'm over speeding that Garrett non-NASA spec turbo, oh wells ?

Got behind the wheel of the Don Mega S15 at Roll Racing

Scooted down the track for 5 passes then had to head off to work

Still getting a feel for the car as it's spinning tyres and I'm sliding around...

I definitely got the soundtrack right on this puppy!!!!

Must have got the danger to gearbox warning light.

What I find hilarious is that, everyones prediction was I'd blow the box....and funnily enough, the box is still absolutely great.  

I think my cognisance relating to mechanical sympathy does play a part in the fact NOTHING on my cars goes wrong.

Meanwhile, everyone else is blowing 6 speeds and throwing rocker arms, I'm calling it that more "they don't know how to drive".

Good to see you got out there. 

Mechanical sympathy and not shocking the gearbox will definitely help longevity. If torque/ignition curve isn't too aggressive that will help.

Apart from killing a Nismo twin plate in bumper to bumper traffic with stock turbos?

Clutch slip will protect a gear box so history checks out!

Please, if you have any doubts let’s line up player

I’m yet to see any videos of your car light it up, come step to the plate ; )

    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful         
    • Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.
    • 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
