Had a phone call from jaustech friday at 4:30pm telling me my cars ready, couldnt get there in time to pick it up.

My footy presentation was starting at 6:30pm.

Only info i was able to get out of anthony was that my car made 272rwks, My trans soaks up alot of power and gets really hot.

Im gonna have to send the beast to mv auto 1 day, small stall and whatever else they can do to the box to support +300rwks.

Not sure on the amount of psi, all i know is that next time i send the car in i will be looking at e85 tune and a high mount exhaust manifold, should crack 300rwks then.

I will go pick my car up monday, Im pretty sure its gonna be alot more responsive then the old high flow turbo.

the guys told me my old high flow turbo had a bigger rear housing on it.

Lucky you didn't blow the box on the dyno, I did.

Get a shift kit and cooler on it as a minimum, the box won't have liked getting that hot so changing the fluid will be a smart idea.

You already got billet servo and shift kit in that trans yeah ?? Have you got an aftermarket trans cooler on it ? If it makes you feel any better that is the heart brake dyno if you went to any other dyno dynamics place around ie boost worx or willall you would be getting a reading of 20kw higher so around 290kw wich is good and what you would expect from that set up . E85 alone will see you up to 300 on that dyno and 310 315 on any one else's , don't need a high mount unless you want to go for one for looks , unless you intend to chase much bigger power figs later, I still run stock inlet and exhuast manis for the moment , good effort :) good to see more and more stags getting close to and getting into the 300 :)

Yeh i have shift kit and billet servo, i need a bigger trans cooler for sure.

Does 20" rims effect a dyno run?

I would like to join the 300 club one day. lol

    • Welp, good to know. Will have to wait awhile until steady hands with drills and taps are available. In other news, these just arrived! I will weigh them for posterity.
    • 100% the factory sender is tapered, that is how it seals (well, that and teflon paste or tape)
    • Thanks folks - I've saved a few links and I'll have to think of potential cable/adapters/buying fittings. First step will be seeing if I can turn the curren abortion of a port into something usable, then get all BSPT'y on it. I did attempt to look at the OEM sender male end to see if it IS tapered because as mentioned you should be able to tell by looking at it... well, I don't know if I can. If I had to guess it looks like *maybe* 0.25 of a mm skinnier at the bottom of the thread compared to where the thread starts. So if it is tapered it's pretty slight - Or all the examples of BSPT vs BSPP are exaggerated for effect in their taper size.
    • Have a look at that (shitty) pic I posted. You can see AN -4 braided line coming to a -4 to 1/8 BSPT adapter, into a 1/8 BSPT T piece. The Haltech pressure sender is screwed into the long arm of the sender and factory sender (pre your pic) into the T side. You can also see the cable tie holding the whole contraption in place. Is it better than mounting the sender direct to your engine fitting......yes because it removes that vibration as the engine revs out 50 times every lap and that factory sender is pretty big. Is it necessary for you......well I've got no idea, I just don't like something important failing twice so over-engineer it to the moon!
    • Yup. You can get creative and make a sort of "bracket" with cable ties. Put 2 around the sender with a third passing underneath them strapped down against the sender. Then that third one is able to be passed through some hole at right angles to the orientation of the sender. Or some variation on the theme. Yes.... ummm, with caveats? I mean, the sender is BSP and you would likely have AN stuff on the hose, so yes, there would be the adapter you mention. But the block end will either be 1/8 NPT if that thread is still OK in there, or you can drill and tap it out to 1/4 BSP or NPT and use appropriate adapter there. As it stands, your mention of 1/8 BSPT male seems... wrong for the 1/8 NPT female it has to go into. The hose will be better, because even with the bush, the mass of the sender will be "hanging" off a hard threaded connection and will add some stress/strain to that. It might fail in the future. The hose eliminates almost all such risk - but adds in several more threaded connections to leak from! It really should be tapered, but it looks very long in that photo with no taper visible. If you have it in hand you should be able to see if it tapered or not. There technically is no possibility of a mechanical seal with a parallel male in a parallel female, so it is hard to believe that it is parallel male, but weirder things have happened. Maybe it's meant to seat on some surface when screwed in on the original installation? Anyway, at that thread size, parallel in parallel, with tape and goop, will seal just fine.
