Yeah



Wow. Your Magna was poxy

Nissan alternator is internal reg

Totally. Battery light on. Changed the regulator, twin brush and spring arrangement. Perfect. 2 weeks later battery light on. Fractured the long brush at the housing you could see a crack just above where it fractured, demanded a new one, perfect till we sold it. Slowest car we've ever owned. Got us through new house and 2 kids born. Traded it for $1500 on a 5ltr Fairmont ghia. I loved the Fairmont. Spun off the line and into 2nd. Great little engine. Long gears. 70 in 1st 135 in 2nd. 180 in 3rd. Soft suspension. 10.5 ltrs per hundred on a trip. 1950 rpm at 115kph. Full leather and wood grain. Felt great when driving it then when you got out it still looked like a horrid au. Only mods were twin system cai and chip tune. Solid drive train. Slight touch of brake and throttle for effortless auto skids. She was a bit slow but a beautiful cruiser:-) Windsor power

I drove a friends magna wagon around for a while (modified skyline reliability yo), 97 (I think) 3.0L v6 manual. Could do a fwd single legger if you revved it up and dumped the clutch but was pretty gutless for the most part, but it took everything that was thrown at it and kept on going with just the usual minor servicing.

I would rather douse my genitals in hot sauce before dragging them through broken glass and razor blades, than drive a magna

 

 

Actually, I might do that anyway

Man they have put some hours into the beast. You must be getting itchy to drive it? Manual conversion next?

    • 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
