Recommended Posts

6 hours till the A-Bomb gets fired up, I'll make sure not to feed it before I leave as I hear it's got a breakfast of RBs and 4g63s waiting for it at QR ;)

(In all seriousness though getting pretty keen for tomorrow)

Is any one staying for the mighty car mods meat in that day? If so are all the skylines parking together? Thanks

I'll be staying around for a bit mate, then heading up to the ASPA meet at willowbank

Yeah great fun, first time at the track and had an absolute blast. had a few rookie errors

100% full tank.... (left turn lateral G causing a little bit of fuel to spill out the cap... frkkkkkkk :P)

and popped an intake hose off the turbo on thye last straight.,.... (i think/hope) ill wait for her to cool and ytake to her with a spanner and a can of redbull.

Thanks for organising sucha good event!

Had a ball today,the evo club are a good bunch,hopefully they run with us again,nothing bets an evo chopping.lol,probably the best one ive been to for a while,keep up the good work guys,but i cant leave in this note,had to have another evo crack,see picture.

This is my new friend ernie the evo,so sorry but i still got to chop you.

Thanks guys had another fun day no shuddering in the steering replaced pads machined rotors also balance and wheel alignment done. Ran good for a stock standard.

good to see you again,maybe lakeside next time?

The Qld Evo Owners Group would really like to thank SAU for the invite to join you guys today. Everyone of the Evo guys reported back to me that they had a ball this morning & we would be honoured to join you guys again for other events.

One of our members suffered a major failure in the form of a suspected broken gearbox, 550hp @ the wheels will do that sometimes but all in all an awesome morning.

glad to hear that you guys enjoyed the morning,was good to see a variety of evos and everyone drove pretty well and to there ability(no dickheads),seemed to go pretty fast but am looking forward to running with you guys again.Sorry to hear about the breakage,my son on the hill thought he saw some of the gears fly out of the gearbox,must have been a big bang.I think someones going to have a very empty wallet.;(

It's always a shame when someone breaks something at happy laps.

    • 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
