Thread updated. 3.2m of AN-8 Single Wrap Braided Hose $50 + postage 3.0m of AN-10 Single Wrap Braided Hose $70 + postage Sold to Matt.. Remember I want some photos when its done dude. Had a few PM's and so forth with interest. You won't get it this cheap anywhere else. If you need fittings I can work out a better deal :) Also working on a factory setup feed + drain setup. Will be at a great price but will lack the bling of red/blue fittings. Also doing highmount feed + drain setups.. PM for details.

Yeah I can see it being cheaper in the long run. I think I would of replaced the rubber hoses in my car probably at least 8 times now. Everytime I took them off they were worn and needed replacing. Hence going the braided now :)

Badge is again for sale. Quote: Originally Posted by Duke57TT [View Post] Good stuff. Now I also have a genuine GMH NOS VL Turbo Badge. PM with offers over $100 ---------- Post added 06-10-10 at 10:21 ---------- Also just to let everyone know - Anyone with a serious engine combination backed by an auto with a hi-stall + t-brake, for every second your on the brake/converter trying to bring the turbo up to launch boost you can raise transmission temps between 20 and 30 degrees per second. Now if you have done the right thing and have a transmission cooler all bolted up, make sure its not connect with normal braided rubber hose. Just about all brands are rated @ 150 degC my stuff included(I havn't found one rated higher). Low enough that if your on the brake long enough you will melt the rubber lines and drop the oil out of the box. Not a good situation. I reccomend that you use Teflon hose as a minimum, as it has a 250 degC temp rating (actual tests put it higher than this). You can use hardline, but as with all hardlines it work hardens. Thus you should only use it if there will be minimal movement of the gearbox/engine combo. IE Solid mounted. Hardline has the highest temp rating at well over 500 degC, but with that does come the dowside as mentioned above. As always guys, talk to me about what you plan to do with it. Hopefully I can guide you in the right direction. :) ---------- Post added 06-10-10 at 11:01 ---------- I will be at Bathurst as of tomorrow. I will be taking my laptop, but don't expect any response until I am sober sometime tuesday :p Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Good Day sir. Can you price and avail me AN-6 fittings with 5/16 barb to suit rubber hose in black. Also an-6 to 3/8 barb also. ---------- Post added 06-10-10 at 18:45 ---------- Male threads. ---------- Post added 06-10-10 at 18:48 ---------- And err they are going into an Aeromotive regulator so maybe they are straight cut fittings on the threaded side.

Turbo Badge is for sale still. Now I thought I would do a bit of a pictorial on hardline adapters.. It this easy. Pretend that cardboard box is actually a surge tank or breather tank with a Male Flare fitting welded onto it.. Now just some photos on AN-12 stuff.. basically a 1/2" NPT to AN-12 male flare and into some AN-12 90 degs and some straights. Anyone say breather setup. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Got your email bud, will talk to you soon. Now for something a little interesting. Pricing is indicative at this stage, but for CNC's flanges with gaskets and bolts + NPT to AN adpater of your choice it will be around $35 + postage. I want to play with them first. :p The GT mid frame stuff is coming, and then I'll do some GT large frame. Thanks Luke@Missile Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
