ARP flywheel bolts - SOLD Ross balancer sold pending payment.

No one need a dog box ? Got too many boxes now ! ARP flywheel bolts sold pending payment....

yeah large pulling edge so you can get a decent puller that won't slip off the pulling edge and really get some torque into it.

Yep that's it, high tensile with 5mm steps on the end. Not home made, was made by a machining shop here with our supplied dimensions. Cost about $100. By the look of your sleeve you have no edge, so I assume you were trying to pull on the bolts directly, which won't work. Need a thick sleeve so there is a decent thread contact area on the sleeve puller. You need something like what I've showed you, never had an issue with this setup using it on multiple gearboxes.

This is what we got made up from a machinist to get that sleeve off. Basically the same idea as the factory tool to allow a puller something to grab.

Ok spoke to Con at CRD again this morning. Decision made - PT6466 with T4 twin scroll 1.00a/r will be going on. Bye bye HKS ? Be sad to see her go but am very excited to see results when completed !

Just added for sale Trust / Quaife 3F1 6 speed H pattern straight cut dog box with freshly modified transfer case added for sale. $8500 ONO shipped anywhere (possibly throw a clutch in there with it with the right buyer). Going sequential so not needed - make and offer !

If your keeping up with the conversation you'll see it looks like I'll be changing to a Precision. Definitely 6466 or 6870. Leaning towards 6870. Would still love to have v band in and out on exhaust housing, V bands are awesome to work on and no gaskets. A/r sizes in v band i think are .082 and .96, but twin scroll is 1.00 and up. What housing sizes are recommended and is twin scroll that much better than using the v band inlet housing ?

There is a reason I still have gt-ss / -9 turbos on my 33, or are they considered shit too ? Sorry didn't read above. I will swap to -10 on 33 ASAP !

500 - 600kw at wheels. The turbo now has done 520kw but have only ever done a 10.6 so yes it is very laggy. I'm thinking PTE 6466 or 6870 is the go.

Yeah ok point taken ? ?you've given me a good laugh reading that after the shit day I've had ! Everyone will probably slap me for this, but my manifold that the current turbo bolts to is a split pulse T4 flange with a T4 to 99mm v band adaptor to mount the hks. Don't the Precisions and Garrett's have T4 flange mounts ?

According to GCG the problem is my exhaust housing is massive as the wheel is massive, meaning the compatible garrett my housing will fit is a GTX45 based turbo. I am under the impression this is a huge turbo. Was quoted $5300 without exhaust housing for the GTX4508r which will suit my hks housing - holy shit I said as it ends up being a $6k turbo in the end. Well this is not good....

Do I detect a hint of sarcasm ? No power fc is gone and have Haltech elite 2500 with 4 bar map, R35 coilpacks and Ross trigger kit. You realise that HKS curve is not an RB26, but I get that they are overlaying it against a T51R to compare. Lithium, you're probably right about it not being better than a T51R. Like I said I have no idea on how good or bad the T51R is, so I cant comment. I do appreciate everyone's input trying to be helpful as that is why I asked the question on real world RB26 results with this turbo. Dose pipe, that's exactly what I brought up with GCG about possibly doing - it basically becomes a new ball bearing Garrett with the HKS 1.00a/r v band exhaust housing on the back. Anyone know what turbo that you would use for that, that would be compatible with my exhaust housing ? Who is Tao and Hypergear ? I'm calling GCG back now regarding this

Don't bother as I just got off the phone with GCG and they can confirm that the HKS 99.1/115.5mm v band sizes on the exhaust housing are HKS specific. They could modify what I've already got with possibly different wheels and ball bearing core. That said, in their opinion the difference in spool improvement is marginal with ball bearing cores over journal bearing. Increased spool mainly comes from more efficient wheel and housing design than anything else. Don't get me wrong, having ball bearing chra is good but it's not the " be all, end all" of a good turbo. If the new 5r has a more efficient housing and wheel design surely it could still be a good thing.

FFS stop worrying about the price and banging on about being journal bearing. I already have a journal bearing turbo and can live with it now if I had to as it hits bloody hard already. I'm trying to gauge if this will be a big improvement over what I've already got. Supposed to match T51R Spl BB for response, but I have no 1st hand experience with an Spl. I really did want a PTE 6466 or 6870 but looks like different v band sizes compared to what I've got. Can anyone else confirm if Garrett GTX series or similar has the 99 and 115 v band ex housing sizes, as I'll change to anything that's better than what I've already got if it matches my manifold and dump. If not I guess I will be going the very uncool and gay hks route.

All PMs replied to. Fresh 10 plate (standard is 7) modified transfer case is now completed and up for sale. Like new inside and reset back to factory new tolerances. New drive / friction plates, new strainer filter, new oil pump o rings, new retaining and pressure plates, shimmed back to factory 0.2mm - 0.5mm (8 - 20 thou) drum clearance as per required tolerance (around 13 thou from memory). $1500

$4k Fully landed from my Japan contacts, not $4400 from Nengun or 5k like CJ motor. Be a little bit more modifying oil and water lines but will have installed for less than $5k. Yep will post results after installation but will be probably be around May / June as gotta get car 2700km one way to Sydney to tune.

I run old HKS T51S which is Garrett TA45S based, so I would like a drop in replacement ideally as I have the hks v band inlet/outlet in exhaust housing which seems to be HKS specific sizes - 99.1mm in and 115.5mm out. Precision and Garrett appear not to do these sizes and I want to avoid new manifold and dump pipe fabrication, hence looking into this new offering from HKS. Can get turbo at $3800 and delivered from Japan for a bit under $4k. That seems reasonable compared to Precision and Garrett to me.

Ok so I take it there is no one running one of these in Australia, I might have to be the Guinea pig then.

Ok in the middle of putting the 32 back together with new CRD built Nitto 2.8. Running an old HKS T51S 1.00 a/r turbo and have been tossing up replacing turbo. Considering- The new GTIII-5R - anyone running one ? Can't find any info on a Gtr running one or any real world results. Very interested in this turbo.

I know my new RB26 block had "RB26" stamped into it on the engine number plate area, and then had to stamp the rest of the new engine number as provided by MVR there myself. Engine number is recorded on rego as RB26xxxxxxxxx so they know what engine is in it here. We do have yearly vin, engine number checks and pit inspections here in the NT though.

Ok so your pulling the box down to do synchro repairs. Fair enough replace them then while it's apart. Sounded like you wanted to pull the box down just for bearings as you didn't mention synchro problems. If it crunches intermittently yeah there worn or you've got wrong oil. Remember GL-4 in these brass synchro boxes, GL-5 creates shift problems.

No change between bearings from 89 - 98 (All GTR 5 speed FS5W30A and Z32 and R33 GTS-25t) regardless of push or pull. No difference in box internals until 97 series 3 R33 where synchro baulk rings, shift spring insert and selector fork changes happened on 2nd, 3rd and 4th gear (ie. the changes you need to do to run a current OS giken gearset in an older box). In other words no difference in bearings across all 5 speed GTR. DO NOT get RB20 set, different. Just a question, why change the bearings on a box with no problems ? A lot of effort to do if there is no problem to start with. The bearings are pretty durable and don't need changing unless some serious abuse / neglect has gone through the box. Don't waste your time unless it's rooted (which means a good 2nd hand box is cheaper than the parts to properly rebuild)
