Anyone else enjoying the wet weather and boost? Lack of abs and (no offense) crap perth drivers makes for interesting driving.......


My ute held 10psi all the way home from work... But never broke traction ;)

My car is factory but the previous owner decided cheap tyres were the best way forward lol

My aim is for 400-500whp.... no tyre is gonna stop that spinning lol

Mine has Michelin pilot sport 3, not much gets a spin to happen (could be the only 215 rwhp)and it has abs slotted rotors and coilovers so it handles very well emoji6.png

Factory fit bmw m cars, gd tyres!!

Depends on your torque curve. My turbo is very linear and power is smooth as boost builds giving 400@wheels and no slip.

The next model down makes 380ish but torque doubles over a 300rpm window making it prone to tyre frying

Just about to go to bed last night and the missus opened the garage

Bloody thing failed in a big way. Bent rails n wheels, spring loaded cable jumped off sprocket and it's jammed half way up. Was up til midnight but still couldn't get it down :(

    • 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
