Lol'd hard at this... I'm still so undecided on my gear box option

Sideways 60 metres prior to bend will fix that Pete :)

Nick I used a turbo 400 in my pro street 500ci 14/71 Bronco - it was rock solid never broke Neal Trans built.

^ this guy he speaketh my language lol

I'm Having nothing but issues with my 4L60e spent a fortune on it and it's still being gay

Hmm I guess, mines pretty doughy off cam ie anything under 4k... Although I spin the sum bitch up 7k now so yeah. But coming onto the highway at from 60 if I tramp first and ratchet second it basically powerskids around the shop easily to 100.

But what im getting at is people around the place claim there bulk hp cars are "streetable" yet I can't see how it's possible... Some insight from a guy/girl with a big powah street car is appreciated

My daily had 390 kw , it was perfectly streetable unless you wanted to zip around someone on a roundabout, where it would rather go sideways if shown boost than accelerate out infront of them.

Spending some money on decent rubber is a must.

Morning all, first day back at work :(

@Nick: Tyre quality is a lot more important than tyre width. 235 shitty Chinese tyres will still suck, so will 255, 275, etc.

But a good quality tyre the same width will provide a lot more grip

this, a whole lot of this. P zeros!

I need to experience this "boost" I don understand it

indeed

    • 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
