Seeing that all te intake piping needs to be changed, have you had a quote for that Gav?

No not yet - there are a few ways to skin the cat on this one. Given that the new GTX terbs have a 3" inlet (much larger than the 2" GT versions), I am thinking of new 3" piping from the pods to the compressor inlet.

where are you guys getting rear housings for dash 5s? I've been looking for some forever. new, used, whatever...

Perth Garrett dealer tells me Garrett have 13 in stock (I assume he means Garrett Australia?). Anyway, part number is 430609-230 and retail inc GST is just shy of $400 per unit.

such as? hoses collapsing? just curious, as I'm also running 90 deg silicon bends off my compressor inlets.

They have too much flex so it's so much easier for them to pop off. I've also had then weaken due to heat and split :(

They can also catch fire... Or at least heat to the point they harden and crack.

I had 3 90 degree bends do that, usually around 2,000kms they would last (this was on the 31 years ago).

Gotta have a steel 90degree bends if you can when close to manifolds/heat.

Surely Hypergear could profile the new front wheels and then machine the standard -5/2530 front cover for a direct gtr bolt on..

...and sell it for the same price without turbine housings

    • OK. But what about parts of the block that, when assembled, were twisted into a position that pushed into the void space, which, when disassembled, then released that force and opened back up, thus putting the grout into tension? Would effectively just pull the cast iron off the grout at the interface, leaving a tiny void and benefitting not much at all. Swings, and roundabouts. It's like putting something tiny into the fleshlight and finding out you needed a smaller one, to perhaps follow your area of expertise.
    • Nah. You buy a kit that has shorter tubes.
    • I didnt present too many conclusions because I wanted your opinions and feedback based on your own experiences. I don't know the exact material, but it is similar to concrete and therfor only has valuable strength in compression. The forces on the set material once the head is removed would mostly be in compression since the grout wants to retain its shape and the block wants to return to its relaxed state since it's still within the elastic region. The grout would theoretically make the block more rigid. The exact amount would take a better setup on my end. Thought experiment: Instead of aliens, twist your favorite fleshlite. Now fill it with grout and allow it to sit for a week. Now try to twist it again. Observe what you see. Now get your other one and blow into it. Observe what you see. Now put it into a can and fill the space between your fleshlite and the can. After it sets blow into it. Less movement in torsion and less expansion i hope.
