    Sorry I missed your other comment.

    It was my understanding that the two piece calipers (i.e. the AP Racing CP5555) were inferior in terms of flex under hard braking? And the monoblock design structurally more stiff and strong.

    Would you see that as being correct?

    Stop drinking and do some work!

    Would you happen to have any photos of how it all sits under the bonnet with the two external gates on the low mount manifolds?

    Thanks for that ^^^ I dont think ARP do them specifically. Might just go for the Tomei ones considering I need the buckets too.

    You have been using RD28 blocks?
  7. bigmikespec
    There is nothing in the "camshaft bolt" section of the ARP catalogue...?

    Digging up an old thread here. Is Tomei the only one who doe upgraded cam cap studs for the RB26 head? Unless I am blind I did not find anything in the ARP catalogue.

    So what stroker kit is it?
  10. bigmikespec
    Wow, looks amazing!

    Roy,

    Is the AP a personal thing with you or do you feel there are genuine product differences.

    I think it seems fairly good value. I really dont know what is "better" than this?

    I liked the combination that JAGR33 put together with the V8 Supercar calipers but I would hate to think what they would cost new and I do not even know what to find the part num...

    Still could not PM for some reason, left a comment.

    Roy,

    You seem to be the resident brake expert, thought I would shoot you this link to see what your opinion on these Alcon kits are.

    For a 1400kg street/track GTR what are your thoughts on the 6 and 4 piston mono kit?

    Mike

    Hey Roy, do you mind deleting a few of your PMs, I am trying to shoot you one and says it is full. Nice R33 GTR above too... more details?

    French pastries made it fat!

    General question to those who have fitted TE37 (or similar) in 18 x 11 +18mm on a R33 GTR. Is rolling the guards at the rear required or do they fit well? Do they scrub on the front at all? Thanks

    So you can jump on your Racepace high horse and tell him he does not need it.

    These are almost low mount GT3076R's just looking at the wheel sizes.
  19. bigmikespec
    If you look at the guys pushing over 400kW with GT2860-5's and the exhaust side is becoming a restriction especially with a larger capacity RB or stock stroke RB26 with high rev limit and well ported head. It is gas in and gas out... if the compressor flows more that means more power and more exhaust gas, a bit of a viscous cycle with small turbine housings.
  20. bigmikespec
    The turbine housings are different on the HKS 2530s
  21. bigmikespec
    I would love for them to be better but the reality is unless there is an improvement on the exhaust side there are not a lot of gains to be had.
  22. bigmikespec
    It seems good, but you dont get exhaust housings when you buy a brand new one just like the rest of the GTX series. But you can re-use the standard housings from the GT range. Plus, I still dont see how these turbochargers will be overall "better", when it is essentially a new compressor wheel that flows more with the same turbine housing and wheel. The problem with these turbochargers is the restrictive exhaust side when trying to squeeze the most out of them.
  23. bigmikespec
    You need as much weight out of the front as possible. They are such front heavy cops!
  24. bigmikespec
    Go a bigger cam too.
  25. bigmikespec
    Alright, got my brand new pump!
