    YOU DON'T SAY THINGS

    LOL It's sold in a known working bolt on kit (by HKS), which many people have used and none have complained.. I owned one, and sold it to another member who also had great success. I'd say it works, regardless of who respects it.

    LOL he could be! Actually I think Disco does something engineerish with trains (from memory anyway), so maybe hes trying to build the bridge before the train gets there. CHOO CHOO!! CORRECTION: I've actually also built and had tuned a turbo sigma since the start of this build... 2 engines, 2 turbo selection and setup, 3 tunes. This must be one hell of a dump pipe.
  4. GTScotT
    Disco, for reference... The HKS produced dump (the one that looks like a snail shell) is really simplistic in design. Its a 3" pipe off the dump with a hole cut in it on the downward bend. They then section another 3" bend so it covers the WG port off the back of the turbo and curls around to the hole they cut for the WG flow. Why don't you get one made like that? http://www.uniqueautosports.com/pricelists/HKS/hks2835prodump.jpg

    Since the start of this thread I completed an entire engine build, with turbo selection and setup, and am now 90% through converting it to highmount. And my life is consumed by work and my partner. Disco must build bridges in his spare time, or at least he should so he can get over this dump pipe issue.

    Nice choice. Make sure results are posted!

    Am going to take this 20 degree, in and out, business very seriously on my motor... I would be mortified if my GTX axed itself, such an expensive adventure for me. Simon I think you should trial a hypergear for performance and see what you think. If the performance is up to your standards perhaps give one a go and help support a local business. We all know the customer service and warranty side of HG is incredible, so the change will surely solve your issues as long as the performance is up to par

    Don't change it all unnecessarily but definitely start testing things as you go.

    I believe this is most likely to be a fuel delivery issue. Filter obstruction Pump flow Pump voltage Pressure regulation Filter obstruction Start doing some basic testing by checking for pressure and replacing the fuel filter.

    True: the photo's clearly show its wrong. SO, the task is now to work out what housing he actually needs and who's responsibility the wrong housing is. In A: the seller did nothing wrong and OP needs to wear it or ask nicely to return, in B: seller needs to give OP a refund as he misrepresented the product.
  11. GTScotT
    Its possible that its for a 35R, as the housings are identical on the outside. You should still measure your turbine though. Once you measure the turbine you will know if you A: have the wrong turbo for that housing, or B: have the wrong housing for that turbo. You must measure first.
  12. GTScotT
    Do yourself a favour and ignore what the tag on the core says for a moment... Measure the turbine at its largest diameter and see if its 60mm or 56.5mm. ARTZ had a turbo from a reputable resaler which was labelled a 3071, but when we measured up it had a 56.5mm turbine and a 76mm T04S compressor. It was more likely they had rebuilt it and simply neglected to update the tag. Or built a custom turbo from whatever they had around... Who knows.
  13. GTScotT
    IMHO the entire outcome will benefit from E85, so I do not think the results will disappoint without the housing swap. If anything they will be even better. It should be noted that Simon runs a 3076 .63 on his RB30. A 50mm gate and E85 keeps it happy, along with a sensible rev limit.

    Extended toilet break went to good use!
  15. GTScotT
    You mean LOL

    f**king broke back bromance right here!

    As you know I am a major devotee to the thread and product (even though I'm not personally using one anymore), and in my opinion the current highflow is one of the best options available. I would buy a 2iu highflow over an SS1PU, and I would buy an op6 highflow over an SS2. Internal gate, bolt on. I would go the SS2 if I was investing in the supporting mods to aim for 350, but not otherwise.
  18. GTScotT
    More info? Does the power go up when you disconnect the WG and let it overboost or is it stuck on 410?
  19. GTScotT
    LOL WHOA who are you calling a knob jockey? These are people giving valuable advice in the form of their opinion, and they are trying to help you make an educated decision. If its not the opinion you're after just go buy the manifold and axe your turbine wheel in oblivious happiness. Don't come pretending to care about the truth.
  20. GTScotT
    Also, will eventually have results for my old SS1PU on a mates car now. He put it on his stock motor S15 with an external gate. Am not sure if he plans to run cams but he should beat my result due to the gate. Preliminary testing indicates with the VCT he has not noticed any loss in spool (no extra lag to stock), and on 10psi he has already started gaining power vs the maxed out T28 that was on it prior. I will update for records when available.
  21. GTScotT
    First I'd heard of them but I don't see them being any better than ordinary locking tabs, aside from the fact you can reuse them. If anything they look to take up a lot of space.
  22. GTScotT
    In their thread they said they were making them in NZ. China is more likely to make robotic stuff that can pump out thousands, hence all the stainless jobs. I'd probably buy a china steampipe manifold if they made them lol full-race are robotically welded, and I'm sure china could replicate the tech lol
  23. GTScotT
    I've seen a few people who have had internal weld slag let go and destroy a turbine. That's enough to send me packing.. Even though they are cheap and work reasonably well. The risk is high as the turbo generally costs a lot more than a HybridNZ manifold. If they can get that issue resolved they will have a great product... But when the things are flying out the door regardless I don't think it is even on their agenda.
  24. GTScotT
    Keep the stock manifold. As the ceramic turbos are untested on E85 I wouldn't risk it. The theory is sound.. It should be cooler, but theres no guarantee the added power won't push the heat back up anyway. I also agree a highflow to an appropriate size will yield better and more reliable results.
  25. GTScotT
    As title states, have a set of RSR lowering springs which I have used in an R33 and a stagea, previous owner used them in an R34. AFAIK they will also work in a 32. They are already on R33 shocks which you can have for free. $70 Also have lots of random RB25 intake manifold spares, $20 take them away.
