  1. Mate Im pretty sure theres no insulation available for the V8 bonnets... Cars looking good...
  2. did valve springs.. Cylinder number six on the inlet side is a right ol' #unt !!!!!!!!!!!!
  3. Don't know about building boost off the line.. theres definitely no typical "squat" which is typical when your on the brake...
  4. Im sure WOW is an understatement!! Awesome build from a very accomplished workshop.. Not many.. correction.. any workshops develop,fit and use the coolers they build... Think about it guys... Cheers
  5. Serious leak there!! Looks like the timing case cover...
  6. Gives me a warm fuzzy feeling ... wow !!
  7. This months motor has a cover story of what may be.. interesting read. Something is definitely planned. Or it could be typical front cover hype to sell mags. Grab it and have a read...
  8. ^^^ I wouldn't go underestimating the general, I think they mean business this time !!
  9. Yeah Ill most likely stick to the GT3582... that is depending on its condition. John at precision turbos did mention those other options. But the decider will be if he feels the 82 is fit enough. Im doing springs and a few other supporting mods just to be sure... I suppose we all want our cake and it it.. theres always a compromise I guess Anyway..enough hogging Bombers thread..and thanks to all for your input.. Maybe its time to start my own Cheers
  10. And just when I thought it was safe to log on !!!!!! Need to process some thoughts.... Excuse for a minute...
  11. I guess Ive been told ...
  12. Point taken.. ^^^ I was all ready for the GTX upgrade.. and talking numerous tuners and turbo suppliers, they all told me don't over-look the F6 unit Heaps of hype about the GTX conversion,and justifiably so,but maybe its just over shadowed the GT3582's capability Sort of the "cant see the forest because of the trees" syndrome... or something like that lol
  13. Cool.. This is where its got me wondering which way to go. The way I see it is the gtx76 will come in hard as per small FG but fall short of achieving GT3582r power levels GT3582r will come on alittle later but surpass the GTX76r but not reach GTX3582r power levels The GTX3582r will be substantially laggier So.. my way of thinking is that the F6 unit is still the best "all rounder".. Im not really looking for anything over 400.. if that.. Im sure many will correct me because as we know, no two tunes are the same Thoughts ?
  14. ^^^ I have to agree... looks good with the GT wheels.. the polished wheel lips compliment the window surrounds nicely 300 is certainly entertaining in these things !!!
  15. Pretty sure its illegal to have any gauges to the right of the steering wheel.. Got the WRX'ers to blame for that....
  16. so basically yours will be the GTX76 variant ? Ive got an F6 unit sitting under the bench. Inclined to give it a go before looking at any GTX series turbos..
  17. So what would you classify the Mr turbo turbo as ? GTX76R ? Closer to the 82R ? If he hasn't spent time on the tune Im sure with some fiddling hell wake up the bottom end response. But yeah.. the standard turbo is a blast in short bursts.
  18. Holy F### !! ^^^^^ THAT.. looks hot ! ! !
  19. Take it to someone who knows how to wheel align. Not all aligners (people) are made equal !!
  20. Easy.. you can manage 285 under a sedan. Id be looking at 295..305 minimum..
  21. +20 .. in a 10.5 Tsw do them..
  22. Usually a brace to one of the bellhousing bolts.. just stabilizes and hold some of the weight. Bit of heat a couple of hard road jolts will crack them..
  23. Houses are over-rated..
  24. Ill be waiting for both results.. eagerly.. We sort of know what to expect from the 82's.. its the 76's that are the unknown territory As much as Im curious as to what both will do.. its the driveabilty that's got me wondering...
  25. Still looking forward to your results with the 76 The .60 cover is standard on the 76 from memory. Im still undecided between the 76 and 82 When do you think youll be getting it sorted and tuned ?
