N1GTR

Daz, put a pair on and use a MAP sensor ECU. Do all the piping up (I've spoken to Jack about this BTW), then do a power run. Now, take the piping off and run just the new comp covers open to the air unfiltered and with zero additions to the comp covers. Another power run. See what happens - thats the only way to know for sure and yeah, isn't exactly a cheap thing to do Edit; That may not make sense. Sorry, the only way to know for sure is to try some back to back, one set with the stock GTR size covers and the other set exactly as Garrett designed them

lol, well, thanks guys! Knew it wasn't me going crazy haha A modern city not having a train to the airport - who would've expected that!

Also heres something to consider; there's now going to be tiny bits of bearing material throughout the oil, all of the oil. So anywhere the oil goes (engine of course but oil cooler too), needs to be cleaned out properly. So cooler core and the part you may not have thought of yet, the head. A head service isn't a big deal while the engine is apart but it's like anything and not free. If you just pull the engine out, pull the sump off, and try to swap bearings (you'll have to pull the crank out to machine it), then put it all back together the problem is you don't know how much bearing material is in the head waiting to wreck your day soon. I'm happy to help as I have for others in this position but not if you won't allow it to be done properly the first time.

This thread has gone from bad to worse. Now it's up to not using .20thou pistons to save money? Bore and hone is $180!!!! Oversized pistons are the same cost as stock sized. Would you like to do it once correctly and have it last, or skimp on vital things and be wondering in 6 months why it's died again? Just save your coin and take it to an RB shop who knows what they're doing, let them do what's needed and then pay the bill. Edit: not trying to sound like an ass, just seen this happen before.....a lot

Fair enough!

Are they only interested in trying one size? I'd expect whoever the person is, to want results on all three options if they're trying to sell all three?!

Here he is. Try -5's first then do the swap to GTX5's. Winner.

He won't, he is being a big softy, "450awkw will be enough" to quote him

This guy, he knows

Melbournites; I've had a look on the train/tram map and I can't see how to get from the airport on a train to South Yarra. Is it me or is there no train line to the airport?

Love the old links keep them coming

Have to say, when the wing came off Massa's car it was surprising how far and fast it flew through the air

100% sounds like a bearing. Stop running the engine before that bearing disintegrates and costs you a lot more in the long run. An engine build doesn't have to cost you stupid amounts of money either, it's about buying from the right places and not getting screwed on machining and assembly costs.

Awesome comparison videos there! Love the V10

Ring GCG turbos in Condell Park. They'll happily sell you a pair new

He won't have a drama beating those prices.

Trust me, you can spam away with posts like that and no one will mind at all!

^^^Exactly. He was quite polite about having a quick go too and came up to say thanks afterwards

If you can't get a -6 wrench you should be able to use any adjustable wrench
