What company? That looks like lazy courier.

Couriers Please, turns out Sparesbox put the wrong address on the box.

I don't even know how that's even possible? The turbo got sent to thr correct address yet thr turbine goes somewhere else?

Got my manifold back from Hi Octane Racing, they powder coated it for $280. Not a bad price, but felt a bit ripped off when I dropped it off and they were like umm can't give you a price now but it will be about $200 to $300.. like a $100 spread? Anyhow $280 later I have a ceramic coated manifold lol.

Started to trim the studs on the head as advised by Sinco, turns out I only needed to trim only 1 not 2, mini win?

Looking the part now, because Shitbox/Spareshit/karntbox aka Sparesmoron sent my friggen turbine housing elsewhere I decided to test fit this turbo.

Don’t hi-octane do this shit on a daily basis so they should know exactly how much a 6 cylinder manifold will cost

Yeah I know right? Oh wells, it is what it is but the coating is bloody good though so pretty happy about that.

Now to wait for the rear turbine housing to arrive (whenever that happens), then I'll mock up the lines with some left over bits and bobs  and put together shopping list and go to MSCN for a rape lol.

After that, off to the fabricators then hopefully some skids.

And update, Sparesbox only just realised the housing is just sitting at Couriers Please's depot instead of being returned to Sparesbox ?‍♂️?‍♂️?‍♂️

ETA to activities in Mexico?

2 more weeks at work till my redundancy, then it's R33 time till it's done.

Aiming for the shitbox running in 3 to 4 weeks, will test skid then dyno.

Popped on some studs and trying to determine how to clock the turbo to make sure the oil feed and oil drain clears the manifold.

Looks like I might have to go hard lines, oh wells lol.

Called in "sick" then went to MSCN to get fittings, hard lines for the turbo setup.

Left wondering why I didn't go to work instead lol.20190320_131440.thumb.jpg.04468a53e276eab286919bba1ba799e4.jpg

    • Well, no. It's an 023, which is pretty similar to an 040. Although it is hard to tell from the specs, as given.
    • Hmm. Maybe the (other thing I forgot about!) Haltech removes at least some, if not all, of the problem I described. I guess there is still the possibility of getting it wrong if the AC is set up/wired up for the Haltech as if it was in an R34 (simply because it's on a Neo), and that's playing foul with the R32 AC computer.
    • Glad it eventually came out Duncan!   I believe that might be 040. 044 is the inline pump, so has screw fittings in and out. 040 is more just drop it in fuel and the bottom is "open" (mesh) from my memory 
    • well mate, while I hear your pain, turns out I don't feel it this time! Must have been a bastard of a job crammed into the boot The tank was very empty (probably pumped out, not dropped and drained because there were some fumes still) and in very good condition internally. I'm sure he never ran e85 in it I don't know what the hell Nissan's fuel tank engineers were thinking about their clipping system, this hanger was really hard to get moving but came out in the end All looks very good (as I'm starting to hopefully expect) and Matty was right it is an 023 (044) bosch which should be plenty for the injectors and turbo
