I bought 10 pieces of chicken from KFC last night for $4 Thats like a $15 saving

Take a pic on the road and with no shaddows it makes things alot easier and it looks better after

Pm replied Ben The VG30 Highflowed turbo's will happily run at up to 19 psi Aaron

We have recently done this on a series 2 skyline ill do up a diagram and get it put up on pauls site

I sent you a pm yesterday No reply

bump Someone RB25 thier 32

MY CAR!!!!!!!!! It has my last name on the number plates. Looks awesome

Happy Birthday Maaate

Im happy to supply everything required.

Price is negotiable guys

Paul Providing that the oil line/banjo bolt modification is done the cost of repair is nothing within the warranty time. Obviously if there is some other contributing factor causing the turbo to fail we will be able to diagnose it. Exactly. If your turbo is ok and you are just after an upgrade you can sell your turbo on the forums reducing the total "cost" of this turbo even further. In no way are we comparing our turbo's to GCG as they are 2 completely different turbo's. This appears to be a sparking rivalry with Gary and bush bearing turbo's and his fondness for GCG turbo's. Doing this test will simply and only give a power reading of 2 "DIFFERENT" turbo's. The oil line and banjo bolt modification is covered extensivly prior to sale and should only cost under $20. 2 Banjo bolts need to have the restrictors drilled out (which anyone can do if they have a drill and a 6mm drill bit and follow the instrictions). And the oil feed line from the block to the turbo has a restrictor in it (engine side) which needs to be drilled out of the oil ring base and have the top welded back over. If $20 doesnt make it a bolt on turbo kit then so be it. If the oil line and banjo bolts are sent to us as some customers have we do it free of charge. Gary as i have said in a previous post this is not a general comparison and would simply be pointing out the difference between 2 DIFFERENT turbo's. I offered to match the GCG specifications so we can see exactly what difference there would be with everything the same excluding the bearings. Regarding a Dyno run comparing the 2 different turbo's to compare them and your offer i am more than happy to send you a turbo and allow you to test it and buy it under the above offer. However keeping in mind the car it will be running on was tuned for the GCG turbo and not one of mine. Please call me Gary and i would be more than happy to discuss this with you and appreciate the offer of you providing your time. This brings an example to mind where audio giants have show cars. The reason why Pioneer Kenwood Clarion Sony etc never compete in sound competitions is simple. It can go 2 ways They can look like losers for not having the best performing gear or they can look like winners for having the best. The underlining fact though is that they will never be the same and obviously perform differently. I am definately interested though on how my turbo's performs against a turbo twice the cost and as i have said am more than happy to do so and will be happy to discuss this more with Gary. Gary I am also very interested why you want to compare 2 obviously different turbo's so much without having an apparent connection to GCG....... Aaron

Yah ze Limo was good

Gary the reason why i asked for the specifications was that it would be like me selling one turbo and trying to compare it to a completely different one, which is the case. This would obviously give different results and would be like comparing apples to oranges. To be fair.....Exact internals, exact housings then we can see true numbers and true power differences. Aaron

Snipples

"GTR's were designed as race cars...........". hahahah Your input is always welcome Gary If you can source out the comp wheel specs and the turbine specs and help me with matching the housings im fine with that. Providing both turbo's are the same and the "oil lines and bolts" are modified this could be quite interesting. The only problem will be finding the exact same comp wheel and shaft. We dont do ball bearing T3 highflows for the simple fact that you may aswell buy a GT30R for the same price and have a 500 hp twin ball bearing turbo. They can be low mounted and consealed to look just like the stock turbo.

You mean MTQ??? IE Sonic Performance?? They do the same highflows as us basically but have an air powered vsr rather than electrical. And we do much better prices Aaron

The member Reckless Motor Sport is after the head and wants that so pm him to work out what you both think is fair betwee the two of you as i really dont want to seperate the head from the block and box without both being sold PM's replied

Dan, More pics please

Paul From personal experiences with drifting an auto with an atmo bov it shuts down quite regularly. Or on the occasion the car spins and runs backwards it automatically stalls. After 24000 kays the shaft had no browning and it sat up at revlimiter for over 80% of its life. Its more then recommended that if the car shuts down that it is started straight away even with BB turbo's despite what people may believe about them being indestructable and can run on no oil. This is not true and have seen many carbon filled bearing cases from when they were scortched on the hot side and failed. I cannot really comment on bearing failure as we have never had any fail. No doubt that one has to eventually but the punishment i have personally given them and the results i have seen i cannot give an acurate time frame. Even with ball bearing turbo's warranty is given but you cannot predict when something will fail. The only cause of journal failure is oil starvation and we have solved this problem quite easily. We have rebuilt a turbo up here from a turbo reseller that had a customers car fail. It was a 180 sx and failed almost instantly because of the standard 1mm restrictor in the oil lines and banjo bolts. Its very easy to tell how and why these turbo's fail. These were designed to work with the standard ball bearing turbo's. I make sure that all oil lines are modified with every turbo that leaves and has instructions for the ones that are obviously on the car. This is why we provide such a warranty. If the turbo is going to have problems due to oil restrictions it will happen immediately. And Paul i think its obvious with certain posts regarding GCG where half the battle comes from if you know what i mean and fair enough competition is competition but filling a thread with examples of 4 failures with no background information on them is hardly justified and is a minority considering we have just shipped out our 300th turbo in 9 months and the numbers are rising at an amazing rate. So as far as failure rate goes for these turbo's it stands at 0% We have started shipping these to New Zealand now and seeing alot of happy people over there so i cannot contain my happiness for how things are going. The only bad thing is we cannot keep up with demand and im sure other turbo businesses are feeling the preasure as we are using everyones stock. As housing numbers run short though the inevitable will happen and we will have a solution to that when the time comes with a oil and water cooled turbo from Biagio available in ball bearing and journal and will be a straight drop in turbo. This is in the Research and Development stage at the moment but isnt too far off and will still be using all Garrett and Turbonetic parts. Aaron

will seperate engine the head has a buyer anyone want the bottom end?

Thanks guys. discopotato03 you have made some very good points there and we stand by the quality of these turbo's 100%. For those that have commented on Journal bearing turbo's i welcome you to buy one and test it to then be able to comment on these with the experience gained by these turbo's and not OTHER turbo's. These are not a backyard made turbo and behind them are 22 years of turbo experience and 150000 dollars worth of balancing equipment and flow testing equipment alone. The Cheif engineer behind these has worked at Biagio, Turbonetics Research and Development (Along with Ray Tanaka), many years at Boral working on mining machinery turbo's truck turbo's and at East Coast Turbo's in California and is the mathematical genious behind the amazing flow that we get out of these turbo's. Any questions you guys may have please dont hesitate to ask me. Aaron

Ambient temperature doesnt really matter in this situation. Modifying the standard lines is inexpensive, they do the job when modified and most importantly they look stock. Cost is far too much to worry about rebuilding. This is really not looking at the big picture. It could be a long time before failure but what does damage is the shaft spining on no oil more so than the shaft not spinning on hot oil after the car is turned off. There is still a lot of water in the lines and cartridge at the point when you turn off the car and it usually is around 80-90 degree's. Greater oil lubrication and flow increase the life of the turbo. Its as simple as that. Being cautious is not only better for your turbo but your engine also which in this case is ALOT more expensive. Maintaining the car is a necessity for the engine not just the turbo which seems to be the focus in some peoples statements. Aaron
