Mugabetown - Whoretownin' At It's Worst.


Recommended Posts

It's pretty simple. I don't feel ready.

If I don't feel ready it's because I'm not ready.

I want to build my confidence slowly and safely.

Not jeopardise everything in one hit because being pushed into something I am not ready for.

I can't be anymore clearer than that and will not be participating to this track day in June.

I will however be happy to spectate to see how it all unfolds

Give me time guys that is all

Fair enough Ants, happy laps first then?

Need to start thinking about a new turbo and not sure which route to take, thinking highflow or a bolt on. I want something that can make about 250 kw and decent response, anyone have any suggestions?

have a look at those precision turbos Mike.

They seem to spool up damn fast and will easily make 250+kw

Having said that I prefer bolt in applications

Yeah I'm after something bolt on.

6266's are 500+hp turbos though Tony. They spool quick... For their size. But it wouldn't be good to be making only 350hp with it. Not to mention it doesn't come on a t3 flange, so you'd need a new manifold.

I think Tony was taking the piss lol

I guess Hypergear is the easy bolt on option. Personally Id look at a 3071.

I haven't read much about Precision turbos and how they fair at the 250kw level. No doubt they make a good charger for the goal i just havent seen results for them

Grab a r34 turbo and get it highflowed at CGC, MTQ or hypergear. I had a friend that made a lazy 270rwkw and it still looked stock. Pretty inexpensive too.

Yes. Yes I was. :-D would be fun to see the silver broad minded person actually turn her wheels. :-P

Realistically for that power though, buying a high flowed turbo is probably your best bet. Cost is kept down and life is good.

^^ This, Highflow seems to get the best results these days whilst keeping it low mounted on the stock manifold and internally gated

This is what I'm leaning towards ATM, just need the 34 turbo.

    • 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
