I can't speak more highly about the turbo Aaron had made me... admittedly my one is a little bit "different" to his other items but it is based on the same theories.

I'm making 200rwkw with 10-11psi (boost drops off due to other issue) which is at the absolute limit of my ECU after tuning at Hitman.

Lag is minimal, the turbo sound is orgasmic and yes I'm very very happy with what I got. Aaron is a top guy, he'll answer any of your questions and will ensure you "learn" something from it rather than just buy something from him.

In a few weeks I will be able to boost the thing into it's efficiency range of 18-22psi, should be very interesting to see what happens then!

My 2c

Dyno Graph is on my website... follow the link below.

Links; he doesn't want to use your turbo :O It's not good enough, he replaces it with a "new" item!

PM me for more details if you want, Northern Beaches Performance has a few deals going on with Sliding Performance at the moment.

Journal Bearings

Steel Wheels

You KEEP your turbo!

Sorry, need to ask Aaron about the flow rates... but I'd assume it's large considering I could boost to 13psi on my standard turbo but only manage 11psi on this one before the standard ECU starts to play dumb.

Links; he doesn't want to use your turbo It's not good enough, he replaces it with a "new" item! Bastard :O..

Hmm.. so flog off mine for 300.. pay for some of the intercooler.. hmm.. not bad.. not bad.. get an aftermarket ECU.. good $2500 upgrade + labour + tuning..

I'm making 200rwkw with 10-11psi (boost drops off due to other issue) which is at the absolute limit of my ECU after tuning at Hitman.

sorry to go a little OT, but did hitman tune your stock ECU? how did you find it? and why is it now at the limit of the ecu?

i didnt even know he did re-maps, i may take in the GTST.

BB - Hitman didn't tune my stock ECU - he tuned the SAFC2 which is in my car. The stock ECU has a lot of operating parameters as we all know - we couldn't wind up boost past 11psi as the car would cut out at 4.5K rpm.

Anyways, new ECU going in soon along with 2 more tunes so I'm going to be a happy boy!

Everyone else:

NBP is now the reccomended Sydney installer for all of Sliding Performance's Sydney turbo sales. Currently the arrangement is: buy a turbo from Aaron, add another $330 to get it installed (fluids included)

Journal Bearings are bush bearings.... not ball bearing.

Proven results are on my website - look in the Tuning Results section! Sorry for the lack of updates on that thing, haven't had time.

Modifications list has grown heaps since then too :) Even without the stuff that WILL be going in and a re-tune I'm on about 220rwkw at the moment but it's running REALLY REALLY RICH!

    • Block bump. $400. As above cyl 6 needs bore or sleeve.
    • I would think making the argument that the travel is limited by a spring flexing against a spring perch as "the same method". Later on in the document they do state that the spring can't bind on full bump travel and cannot come loose in full rebound travel as well. (which is all very sensible). The laws are actually pretty sensible and reasonable. It's just that the people who enforce and check them don't actually read them or know them accurately. "Oh, coilovers? Instant fail mate. Don't even need to look at it." - Guy who will be instantly reported by me. There is probably merit to people who do get defected for height also get defected for the suspension in that state that allows it. I did never consider the people who are complaining about coilovers being picked on are also running around at 50mm off the floor.
    • I think given SAU's knowledge of E85 we can strongly conclude that 10% ethanol in almost any situation is entirely fine. Almost all of the myths against E85 were overblown, let alone E10.
    • From your link See bold text, is this referring to damper settings, if so that may a issue for "some" inspectors, I cannot see aftermarket coilovers having the evidence that "must be available that its functional performance is equivalent to the original" Maybe just remove the adjustment knows and hope for the best???? Meh 5.2 Suspension travel In all instances, modifications to a vehicle’s suspension must ensure the integrity of the system and not compromise the ride quality. At least two thirds of the original suspension travel should be maintained in both directions (rebound (i.e. extension) and bump (i.e. compression)), and rebound must be limited by the same method used by the vehicle manufacturer or if this is not practicable due to the nature of the modification, an equivalent method. If an alternative method is used, evidence must be available that its functional performance is equivalent to the original.
    • They actually don't - They adhere to VSB14 rules just like Victoria. The rules are against CABIN adjustable height, and it quite clearly states that the height has to be within parameters. I asked the VASS engineer to confirm this when I got my car engineered and they refused to engineer the coilovers because they didn't meet the requirements for requiring engineering. (mine are height adjustable.) People "Not wanting to bother" with "Actually reading/knowing/adhering to the rules" should result in fines and immediately losing the ability to issue blue slips and/or RWC's in Vic.
