Tinyplums,

Just emailed with my postal address and what tyres I wanted and they emailed back with the price.

Then they sent bank details and went to my bank to transfer cash. Job done.

I thought id share this (old) photo, always makes me giggle with excitement seeing it.

its the T51R just dummied up on the old 6 Boost manifold (it wont fit, due to rocker cover clearance, and V-band flange VS T3 flange). but for the photo, I just had to do it.

should be dropping off the manifolds in the next week for manufacturer :D

just test mounted the NITTO runners, for preperation for fabrication of the custom plenum

shall look pretty porn !

the box and powersteering metal thing represent the plenum and TB position

haha "the box and powersteering metal thing represent the plenum and TB position" I love that.

Looks good mate.

umm empty box of sikaflex, hope that's not the aftermath of fitting the nitto runners. jk

will be prettybombednsh*t

haha ross and adrian.

ill probably take the runners down to Fast Friday at the plex 2moro night (as Josh from Metalcraft will be there).

so he can get a start on them this weekend/next week.

btw ross, did you run that stock 12 on street tyres or MT Streets?

cos im racing the ute 2moro night and ive still got my set of 275/45/R17s I might use.

looking at either an 80mm or 90mm (LS1 style) throttle body, should feed the air nicely into the plenum. (given the size of the compressor housing)

that thing is insane!

ok little update:

my shed got robbed about 2 months ago, they stole my HKS T51R :( (along with more turbos, a ktm dirtbike and more car parts)

so progress stalled for a bit.

since then, ive bought another T51, this time a Garrett T51, so its slightly larger, and has a 1.2 A/R on the rear

big thanks go out to Hiro Performance, they have sorted me out with

Ovate wire heavy duty Atomic Race Valve Springs,

my 2nd Magnafuel ProStar 750 fuel pump, filters and fittings

plazmaman billet oil cap

ive also bought a 75mm bbk throttle body, which will do the job nicely

car is still at Allfast Convertors (waiting on parts ... my fault). but the torque convertor, transhield, etc, are all done

ordered a lovely piece of chrome moly through Hiro Performance ... an Atomic Flexplate ... they look insane. 9mm thick compared to the 1 to 2mm stock flexplate.

so when this arrives, I can get the car back

looking into ordering a 2nd wastegate (50mm synapse again), for "motor insurance", ill discuss with the tuner to see what he thinks.

also while my fabricator (of custom nitto plenum) is doing R&D on a big plenum with the cnc'd runners, im running a FG intake manifold with the new process West fuel rail

im going to run an 'up pipe' so my 75mm TB can bolt up
