Hi everybody....

I've been a little bored with my skyline lately, the power is just wearing off on me. I decided I'd buy a new turbo, I wanted something fairly big, like a GT3040 but then thought... nar I'll get my m8s down @ ABC Engineers to build me a custom. They rang me up the other day to tell me it's finished & have sent me a photo.

photo below...

I was quite happy with photo they sent me, the turbo looks to be in good shape. I also had a good laugh when i seen the photo because it looks like the boys had a 'dress up & look like your from the 80's' day at work.... those boys... always fooling around. Anyway.... I showed my ricer buddy & he also wants one but he want a pimpin orange one so they than made this one for him.

Both turbo's will be installed shortly, I think each is good to flow for around 130 - 150 thousand kw

I'll keep ya posted through the installation to see if i have any problems & solutions so people like ya self dont have the same problem when u go to install a turbo of this size.

Cheers :rofl: lol

Are you going to be running some N2O to spool it??? I dont think the 2.5L will work too good...

I also think your mate with his hondarh or whatever he has will have much luck, but hes got more revs to play with, so you never know.

PS, I think your "mates" are ripping you off dude... they are missing all the housings!

      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)

      Why are you so adamant on going M12? Why not follow Brad (GTSBoy) suggestion. You're talking moving from a 1/8" size, to a 1/2" effectively. 4 times bigger. Why skip the commonly available sizes in between? The bigger you go, the more likely you are to strip the threads out at a later date, as guaranteed, someone will put a huge spanner on the M12 and really tighten it up, and you're only in thin wall, so not a lot of threads to engage!

      Hi. Yeah thanks. Car is already at tuners and it staying there to resolve "many" issues they do not like. So it is in a good hands. Getting a good tune on that Nistune ECU too so the car would be good. Just needs a little tune up and love.

      Probably gonna remove manifold and turbo. I’m not sure if I can get M12 x 1.5 air tight. Could use high temp Loctite 246 or something similar, but I don’t know. Maybe it’s just best to remove everything again and weld an 1/8NPT on there instead.
