yep, it is on its way finally. LRP is being phased out atm and once it's all gone 98ron will 'apparently' start coming in. currently I just use octane boost with premium, used to use toluene.

Well LRP has been out of action in Tassie for a while now. It may say LRP on the bowser pump but it aint whats going into the cars. BP use to run there PULP for older cars but was phased out becuase of lead concentrate. Who the hell is going to buy fuel from PA at what they charge for there STi's??? Give me a bit and i'll get the name of a certain some1 that is getting OPTI MAX in!!!!

The BP on the highway in hobart have stopped selling LRP so bp ultimate may be at the pump within a couple months I've heard.

Will be interesting to see what price it is. I can't wait to run ultimate so I can get a more aggressive tune. running 170rwkw on RON95 with a very conservative AF ratio.

i work for one of the big fuel distributers in tas and the offical word that we have been told is that ultimate at this stage will not be in tas any time soon. i know its crap coz i would love to have it in my car. but they just told me to get a 200lt drum. nothing we can all do but keep puting pulp and octane booster in.

oh great news :rofl:

living here can suck sometimes.

I wonder how much a 200 Litre drum is?

yeah it can suck

um i dont know how much they are of the top of my head but i can find out in the morning when i go to work but it wont be cheap. if you was going to go that way you would be better off getting some friends that wanted some of it as well and all of you geting one and use the one drum so its not siting around as long.

      boost source Size Garrett gt28 gen2

      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
