I have 3 R32 skylines with various turbo engines. I have started thinking it's time to get something more practical for everyday use/towing so that I can poor more money into the cars I love. After a quick look at what is on offer in the 20-30G range the Subaru Forester XT and Territory Turbo stuck out as two cars that could still be entertaining on a daily basis but also let me zip down to bunnings and buy stuff for the house without tearing my hair out ;). The Forester has around a 1600kilo towing capacity which sounds sketchy for someone wanting to tow so this leaves the territory turbo (2300kilo). Has anyone else been down this path?

Go read the "Good Tow Cars" thread in the motor sport section. This exact question by multiple people, lots of different options.

If you're looking at the Turbo Territory, if it is running the ZF gearbox like the XR6T does avoid it for towing.

They actually have a F6 motor from what I've heard, so better than a standard XR6t - just a Nizpro tune and the things haul ass, and still keep warranty :)

Sorry, read my post and it did sound like I was a bit against it lol. I meant he should choose the Territory because it's got the balls of an XR6 turbo, but bigger so more practical for towing and carrying.

Plus, the range rover you listed has over 160,000 km..... I bought my BMW X5 turbo diesel as its a super smooth to drive daily, awesome on fuel (Approx 700-800km a tank) and it can tow my race car... now I just need a $12,000 nevco trailer and I'm all set :D

Was just about to suggest an X5 then read your post. I second this motion.

    • 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
    • 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
