Regarding engineering you'll have issues with the following:

  • Vented Bonnet (especially if fibreglass and not ADR approved.)
  • Carbon Fibre Mirrors (Same deal, if not ADR approved)
  • Race Seat (Again, issues if not ADR approved)
  • Gauges (depending on placement)

These are particularly difficult due to the costs involved for the tests if they are not ADR as you'll have to foot the bill proving these meet the ADR requirements, whether they pass or fail.

ECU, turbo, etc is fine if you pass an IM240 test.

Oil cooler should be fine.

BOV is fine if it doesn't vent to atmosphere.

Front Facing Plenum I would have no idea on (this might come under IM240 and review of piping placement)

Airbox - as long as it is covered. Can be a sticking point as some may say it needs to be covered when the bonnet is open, others is fine if it's enclosed with bonnet closed.

I am not an engineer but I have done a lot of research into RMS Engineering, the ADRs and talks with engineers on testing requirements, process, etc.

Hope the info helps.

    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful         
    • Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.
    • 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
