No, you wouldn't

haha well done on detailing my mechanic stuff... you could easily do such an analysis on everything I do mechanically with cars... I admit, I suck, and I'd be a apprentice, if I ever decided to do such a foolish thing I wouldn't have called all that arguing, I'd call that "discussing" haha. Also, I only stripped one, on the rear, which hardly even needs cracking

You literally turned up to my house after a 9 hour drive with pads metal on metal, rotor completely destroyed, telling me there was heaps of pad left, while your missus said you drove here like a maniac, even though she heard the brake noise for the past several hundred km.... and after staying up with you until midnight fixing it, you floor it only 20 seconds after a cold start into the test drive. The whole time you argued about every farken detail on how to fix it even though you have no farken idea what you're doing, which was evidenced by the 6 hours it took you to do a rotor and pad swap, all while stripping the bleed nipples due to once again, not listening to my advice about how to do it. Mechanical sympathy my arse. Dirt roads ain't a big deal you argumentative fark

fair dinkum, that was an awesome concert mosh pits for days my glasses copped it, but that's ok I won't be needing to go to the gym, either... intense circie pits

nice lookin' bits

I'll always avoid a dirt road if I can, in my lowered with 20's car haha, for obvious reasons... but yeah, I understand your point; maybe I'm a little too precious/mechanically-sympathetic about it...

I installed the VN Group A transmission. New Group A brakes, rotors and braided lines.

Car mostly street occasional roll race /drag . Low mount is full custom with 50mm gate. If artec don't come to the party just get the manifold faced and should be sweet .Most machine shops or fabricators can do it You won't need 6boost seen an artec make 1200hp with g45-1500 @40psi

@tofski yea it sucks alright, I didnt check it for flatness when I got it, it may have been warped from new. Are you building a drag monster? That is insane power you have. Was it a full custom manifold you have or a j pipe off the stock nanifold? I was thinking of cutting off t3 flange off stock manifold and getting a t4 split flange welded on but clearances looked a bit tricky. Then this Artec came up cheap. Pretty certain retailer didnt know there was anything wrong with it. They just wanted to cash up and get stock gone. I hope if Artec give me another one it is identical because if not il have to do fab adjustments which is never fun. Otherwise il go 6 boost or sinco and have to remake everything.

@tofski @Vigilance99 efr9174, the 91 is conpressor exd big side and the 74 is turbine 74mm exducer, that's the small side of turbine.

Sounds mint, what efr turbs you running?

Yeah got a 6boost setup , 1 came up for sale second hand with everything I needed to suit so I snapped it up .Haven't put it on yet . I have a custom low mount atm and with the g42-1450 and maxed @ 720kw but back pressure is too much , it was perfect for g40-1150 I had on it as it made 25 psi by @3400rpm as it was designed for that turbo ,that doesn't matter as I have a big converter now hence going bigger turbo Your artec looks like its perfect for the 900hp turbo yr running , won't have thought that the cast flange would have warped though , that sucks

Good on ya mate

It's not a wet weather only road, it's a hard packed dirt road. If anyone is that much of a princess I don't want to have anything to do with them anyway. I ain't got time for stupid bullsh*t like people having a problem with a bit of dirt in their guards.

because mud all good, as long as you and your potential customers are OK with it.

Cheers for that

Clean the sump and block with brake clean then hit it with talcum powder. It should point you in the right direction.

@Vigilance99my efr has a t4 split pulse flange 1.05 a/r housing, its not small, compressor wheel is 67mm inducer and 91 exducer, 900hp turbo, im getting 10psi at 2500rpm and 17-18 at 3500 I think, its a great road turbo with gobs of torque down low and minimal lag. My Artec has a warped flange at the moment and im trying to get Artec to replace it. Check my posts.

@hjtrbo and whoever wants to know haha, I disassembled my car, dump off heatsheilds off, gate off, turbo and manifold off together and found my new Artec manifold has a pretty badly warped flange, its 12mm thick and still warped, with a straight edge lying on it, I can get a 1.4mm thick steel ruler in both ends, more so the firewall end, and theres soot marks blown thru the sides, pretty ugly! Im surprised it sealed as well as it did, it must have pulled in at the ends a bit when it was bolted up on car. I contacted the retailer and sent them photos of it all and they have contacted Artec to try get a replacement manifold. Pretty damn disapointing but hey welcome to motorsport! If they dont come to the party I might go for a 6 boost or Sinco.

No why would I? It's literally 150 metres of hard gravel dirt road.

I guess you'll be informing everybody that you'll get a car in your shed that they'll be driving on a dirt road to get there?

Meh some things can't be avoided. I don't usually mind driving down it but I literally washed the car yesterday afternoon and it would have flicked mud all over it.

NPC twin copper mix is a good bit of kit, had to remove pedal spring as it was hanging on pedal not allowing cruise control to work. Now full pedal feel and springs back great

fair enough; thought you'd have wanted to avoid that dirt road where possible, as a lot of cars you'll be tuning would scarcely be driven on anything but sticky tarmac

Stuff will be moved but cars won't get driven through there.
