Hey sorry to hijack, but I'm considering their BOV as well. Heard anything about them for 35psi ish boost on a big turbo? What are you using mate?

You should be able to get methanol for $2 a litre in 20lt plastic drums or I think I recall it was near on $1.20-$1.30lt for the 200lt drums from the depots and that was in Townsville!

ok since last update:

my 2433cc Siemens injectors have arrived.

Synapse wastegate hasnt arrived yet.

still sorting out some issues with the custom nitto plenum

  Quote
the Nitto plenum arrived today, well the custom parts. but ive had some issues:

just picking a few little things are missing, the aluminium (tube) spacers for fuel rail to bolt onto runner section

and the part/flange for the throttle body to bolt onto.

also, the fuel rail has got small dash fittings welded onto it.

when I ordered my pervious nitto plenum it came without and dash fittings welded to it. which meant I could run bigger fittings for my fuel lines.

is there any chance I could get a swap with another one in stock (that's not welded)? I can wait if theres none in stock at the moment.

ive attached photos (x1) of the plenum I first purchased, and (x2) photos of the 2nd 'plenum' with the small dash fittings welded on

to show the difference between the fuel rails I have recieved.

the runners are great though :) those are a piece of art :)

new rail

still waiting on CRD to my fuel rail back to me (I sent 'wrong' fuelrail back and they swapped it with a 'correct' one)

so once I get it, I can get my intake manifold made up, and thus have my turbo manifold made to suit (the Throttle body and turbo outlet need to be inline of course)

looking to get a full respray in a chrome (with oil on water, colour effects), and Weld Magnum rims :)
