I got oil rated hose of about 5/8 or 16mm for my turbo oil drain back hose from aushose or someone like that A$24 per metre

After many bits and much fiddling I now have an Impco 200 mixer mounted between the turbo and throttle body, simply suspended by a pair of fibre reinforced silicone bend joiners - how simple was that when you now have a big assortment at your fingertips? The mixer will be supported by a bracket. I a...

sorry if i have misunderstood this question but if you asking if it is OK to run lpg vapour and air mix through standard heater ? I got a grilling from all sorts of hose people when I told them I wanted intercooler style hose to run vapour through - just for some joins - six years later it is yet to...

would an electric vehicle forum be appropriate in here ? i have a DVD of "who killed the electric car" doco - yet to see and would one day like to copy a go kart I have seen on TV that ran an electric motor with a lot of the small sealed lead acid batteries along each side. The interest is there and...

I find it ...um .... a confidence boost seeing the converters coolant hose hooked up in series rather than parallel. Looks neater and is easier to do but goes against some logic and advice, BUT I like it coz I wanna try it with two J converters soon. No problems with one converter being any colder t...

LTD, GRA, VL turbo, APA - could only be another Aussie

looks like a lot of work has gone into this - no OTC conversion kit available to save you any work ? !!

i think you are going to hear differing opinions

some say one step colder, drop gap to .08mm, run multi electrode plugs to increase chance of spark in bad times, IMPCO book of the 70's says use platinums and no change gap ! Gees, how dear were platinums back then ??

with this stuff we have conformed with the rest of the world? using British and American standards


5/16 was the "part number" I was really after !

just when i thought I had worked out some of the fittings measurements my plan falls apart for the Christmas break. I ordered what I interpreted as 3/8" fittings (because the max diameter of the 45 deg flare was 3/8") my order came SUPERSIZED - invoiced as 3/8 but it is all next size up from what I ...
