  1. I looked in this a lot last year. You can only go from step 1 to a 2. Couldn't see an option to go from 1 or 2 to a pro, unless it's changed?
  2. Sitting on the fence of that one for now. Waiting for Mr Hill to do it first.
  3. 18 months apparently. That's what got me into this mess to begin with!
  4. How long does a turbo swap take? It's not the end of the world.
  5. Have been a little quiet here lately. This fuel gunk issue has really given me the shits. The baskets in the injectors kept filling up so in the end I decided to rip them out for the journey to Richmond where the next round of goodies are going on. EFR 8374 1.05 ass end. See you later -5's, you have served well. 6 boost twin scroll manifold. 38 mm Tial gates will be used. Still waiting on those guys. In light of this fuel issue, I've gone mega overkill. Ordered three of these Fuelab filters. A single 75 micron filter pre surge tank with twin 6 micron filters post pump. I'm going to "Y" it and run the filters in parallel seeing that the filtration is so fine. A set of stainless steel internal 1700's will be going in instead of the 2000's. EFR speed sensor. It will be Intersting to see what speeds the snail is spinning. Display for the sensor. Holley Dominator 1800 fuel pump has been purchased and getting rid of these 044's. A new stainless surge tank will be made and will live in the boot. All intake, exhaust, surge tank fabrication will be done by Mick_O. Some Nismo diff bushes have been bought also. I have solid alloy ones in there ATM and they're bloody horrible. A catch can has to be made for the OS88. It just spews oil out of the breather when giving it some on left hand corners. Poor form OS!!!
  6. Why would you go down the D Jetro route with a PFC and not run something that isn't from 1912? The D Jetro you have to pull the intake off to drill number 3 and 4 runners for the the duel MAP sensors. That isn't a $20 exercise of paying a workshop. Link G4 Haltech Vipec All plug in, more features, newer and will cost basically the same money at the end of the day.
  7. Which no one does BIN IT!
  8. Who cares how big they are. How much air is the wheels moving. The 63 mm GTX moves the same amount of air as the 71.1 GT wheel (both 44 lb/minute). 44 mm/min is that volume of air regardless is its 1 mm or 200 mm wheel. So, you're back to square one just in another form.
  9. For the sake of adding more to this turbine/hot side discussion, I'll throw Gav's RS VS -5 back to back up. Those RS 71.1'mm wheels are so much bigger than the little -5's yet only gave 20 HP more.
  10. Twin 3 inch into a single 4 inch.
  11. It would be interesting to log exhaust pressures with the T28/0.64 AR housing on a 600-650 whp RB. It might prove to be a very informative exercise.
  12. Wow! Anyway, having spoken to Simon multiple times about his setup, he has some interesting views about it all. 1 - heat management. He has said he could have put Atleast another half a radiator in the nose of his car. It was "OK" at 550 HP but at 620-650 he couldn't keep it cool. 2 - what that comparison doesn't show you is boost pressure. How much harder is the 63 working over the -5 here? 3 - even Simon himself says he should have put an Intercooler on it. Golf ball/garden hose. 4 - at what point does the factory piping call enough. It's only 60 mm with horrible sharp bends everywhere. The boost pressure to go from 550 - 650 HP was ALOT considering the size of the compressors. Flogging a dead horse comes to mind. Maybe with a larger rear wheel/housing to accomodate the larger flowing compressor wheel would help. At the end of the day you can throw all the compressor side at it you like, it still has to get out. That side of the equation hasn't changed. HKS did a 2876 and it was a disaster. They also did the RS's which for their size never produced more power to warrant the lag that you cop over the -5/2530. (Gavin's back to back years ago showed this). All you're doing here is doing the same thing but with slightly smaller (pretty and shines) wheels. GTR_Sean ran the GTX60's on his 2.8. They're now sitting on a shelf and went back to -5's. Food for thought.
  13. What is the highest recorded "realistic" figure being pushed on RB using -5/2530/-10/RS - 0.64 hot sides?
  14. 60's would want to hit 420 rwkw considering it's not too hard to do that on bog stock -5's on E85 but without the brain damage.
  15. Borg Warner do a 9174 now. Still sitting on the fence as to how that will go. 9180 with the 0.92 read IWG, soo much compressor for that small hot side. You may have to bite the bullet and externally hate the gasses and go to a larger rear housing?
  16. 2828.5 cc 87 bore x 79.3 mm stroke. Poncams are long gone.
  17. Feels so much stronger than before, 100%. It's going to be a good thing when it's turned up!
  18. Picture, post the picture!
  19. Chuck up your graph again mate?What pressure are you running to net 500 kW?
  20. No. There is a graph from very early on in the tuning process. 10 psi at 4500?
  21. 9180 1.05 or 1.45. Do it! Gearbox ordered yet? That stock one will last a month if you're lucky.
  22. Really? From who?
  23. I'll know more soon.
  24. Going off what Brett has said. 22 psi was reached at 4300 RPM which on that graph is 105 km/h. It's making just on 300 kW at that point.
