March, eh?

It's a wait and see for me.

Also, rung the panel beaters, my car doesn't fit on their machine or something like that, so they had to order in a special attachment. They're stripping the car at the moment and then rolling it straight today. They don't have a door for it yet, but they're hunting for one.

Hope thats not a reason for extra cost?

Keep it in Cosmo and try different style box?

The car is the cheap part of the equation, I have enough funds myself to get it into an RX-8 and we can do most of the conversion here at work.

The box is the killer. It really needs to be a dogbox (E85 and 20psi will push it well over 700rwhp I reckon) and TTI look like the go, but as Corey will tell you I'll have to scrap together at LEAST $8k to get one.

The only way I see that happening is work pays for it, we put work sign writing on the car and then I slowly pay off what they want me to pay off.

That would be awesome.

That's the cheapest box to handle it?

If only my work will pay for my car mods :ermm:

    • Possibly avoid using a Cometic one unless the deck/head surface are perfectly flat. I did have a look just then and forgiving gaskets such as Tomei or Nitto don't exist for the FJ20, however the Bar-Tek or Kameari ones look good and might do the trick.
    • Because pipe threads for pipe things. M threads for bolt things. Throw some teflon sealant onto it and dust your hands off knowing you did the right thing, instead of going twice around the block to achieve a result using the wrong things. Of course, all of these solutions are ignoring the fact that the minimum thread pitch we're talking about here is 1.25mm, with the 1/4" in NPT or BPS being out around 1.4mm. You will need to know that the boss you're tapping has enough thickness for at least a few threads. That's one of the reasons that 1/8" is commonly used - because the pitch is <1mm. And why would you look to use 1/4" NPT in a BSP country anyway? Ugh.
    • Just throwing around ideas, does it need to be in the compressor cover? Why not the hot side piping?
    • 1/8NPT drill size = 8.7mm. Since the hole got messed up by me, it’s probably around 9mm.    So 1/4” NPT would be next step. A drill size of around 11mm would be preferred there which is not way of my M12 (drill 10.5mm and tap M12 threads)
