Hey guys,

Can anyone that has a DVD-MP3 player post:

* make and model of MP3 DVD player

* how long it takes from initial insert of a DVD with MP3s on it to hear the first MP3 (call this "load time")

* how many files (approx) on this MP3 DVD

* the total file size (approx) on this MP3 DVD

I have a cheap ($350!) Sony MEX-R1 DVD player that will read an ISO DVD image and play MP3s off it.

It of course plays video DVDs and regular CDs, I haven't tested MP3 CDs but I'm guessing it will work.

But hearing the first track (after initial insert), or track it was up to (after switch-on), on an MP3 DVD

takes about 60-90 seconds depending on the how full the DVD is. If I start loading the DVD,

but then switch to radio before it has fully loaded, it stops loading the DVD (i.e. loading cannot

be done in the background, and is restarted when switching back to DVD).

Once it has loaded a DVD, the information is cached till the car is switched off or the DVD is ejected -

when switching from another source back to MP3 DVD, it only takes a couple of seconds before it

starts playing MP3s again.

Loading other media (CD-Audio, DVD-Video) is 'normal' - a couple of seconds delay, then sound. It's only DVDs

with MP3s on them that take so long - I'm wondering whether my player is abnormal, or whether they

all do it.

I don't _particularly_ care about audiophile-ness - that is to say, the sound of the Sony unit is just fine

with me :ermm: - I just want to have convenient tunes in my car deck from an MP3 DVD. You'd think that would

be a relatively small ask in this day and age. Please help!!! :):down:

Regards,

Saliya

"load time" would be 10 seconds tops for an mp3-dvd (FULL DISC) from the moment u insert the dvd into the player, to the time it takes for the first song to start playing.

If the disc was already in thee head unit and switch from radio and then back to dvd, it takes 1-2seconds at the most to load and play

-Total of 976 songs

- Disc is basically full

I too have the JVC-KD6105 player and am very happy with it and it's start times. However there is one thing that really annoys me and that is that you cannot fast forward MP3's songs that are recorded on a DVD disk. You can step forward to the next track or even move back to the previous track but you cannot fast foward a song.

This can become pretty annoying when you have a MP3 that goes for 1.5hrs and you are only travelling small distances. Each time you restart your car it goes back to the start of the song and then you cannot fast forward. :)

Other than that I love my player. :P

yeap i hate that as well. After i installed it i noticed that i couldnt fast foward and it annoys me, but apart from that the head unit rocks, there is so many different adjustments you can make.

Mind you when I bought the player, I quizzed the salesman on all aspects of the player including the fast forward (I found the details on teh internet) and he convinced me it would work.

Long story short, it doesn't. Went back to hassle the salesman to find that he didn't work there anymore.

Ohwell, like you said, the player rocks with all it's features. One question, have you tried inserting a DVD movie without having the screen connected? Does the audio still work? Thought this could be useful for music DVD's!!

Sorry to hijack the thread.

Hi guys,

thanks for the responses so far; nobody else reading has a DVD-MP3 headunit?

Sounds like it will be worthwhile taking a DVD full of MP3s down to a dealer and

popping it into every headunit with a stopwatch. If I do that, I will summarise...

Regards,

Saliya

    • The fab work can be as simple as a couple of silicon hoses and clamps to the factory piping. 
    • Just sounds like either way you need to do some fab work to get everything to fit, so why limit yourself at that point? If the GCG high flow option is zero effort in and out swap though I'd probably do that. It's almost certainly lowest risk, lowest cost, etc. The HKS GTIII-RS option that Kapr mentioned is laughably expensive for what it is, they charge the exact same for two turbos on the RB26 so their margins are off the charts on that thing.
    • Intake manifold is not a part of the issue. The turbo bolts to the exhaust manifold. That is easy. But close your eyes and picture the physical situation. That is a T3 flange on the manifold and a T3 flange on the turbo. As long as any new turbo has a T3 flange on the exhaust housing, that exhaust housing will bolt to the exhaust manifold. This places the exhaust housing in the same place as the stock one. But now move your mental attention a little further forward. The location of the compressor housing is set by the length of the turbo's core. The stock turbo had a long core. Let's say that it is..... 100mm long. So that would place the compressor housing 100mm forward of the exhaust housing. But a highflow, might well have a centre core that is shorter. Let's say that it is only 70mm long. Now the compressor housing will be 30mm further back in the engine bay than the stock one. This DOES move the turbo's compressor outlet backwards. It also moves the compressor's inlet backwards. You will very likely have to do some work to both the inlet and outlet piping to make everything connect again. I am not say this to make it out to be a bigger deal than it is. I am just pointing out that "bolt on" is sometimes not quite bolt on. The highflow from GCG that Murray linked above (https://gcg.com.au/turbo-charger-upgrade-skyline-gtst-2iu-xtrgts-s1.html ) uses a core that is the same length as the stock core, and so does not require this extra work. It will look very much like the stock turbo. No-one uses GTR turbos of any flavour (stock, or aftermarket) in a single turbo application on RB20/25. It's not a thing. Yes, people have been putting on GT3076, GTX3076 (and bigger and smaller versions of those) and G30s (of various sizes) onto RB20/25 since forever. But these are not "bolt on". Everything except the 4 bolts to the exhaust manifold change with these. And genuine Garretts are expensive. Non-gen, like Pulsar, etc, are cheaper, variously as good or nearly as good. But still not bolt on. No-one in the right mind would pay for an HKS turbo. Not in this modern day and age. Well, yes, the GCG highflow. You could ask HG what he can do to make the compressor housing sit in the original location. There are surely others doing highflows around the world. And some of the eBay/Temu ones (as reported by Dose) work and don't die. Bit of a lottery though. I would send your turbo to GCG (here in Oz) to be highflowed if you want a trivial no-extra-work option. But seriously, the work required to change inlet and outlet piping is not that hard. That's a boost control problem, not a turbo problem.
    • Thank you all for the replys 🙂 I know that intake would be different but that is one pipe at it is not that hard to get(custom one). I meant mainly bolt to the stock manifold and the turbo elbow. I looked and many sites/forums but they are just "old" with some old HKS turbos from GT-R i guess? What about some Garrets?  Or any other turbo? Is there even a turbo which i can just bolt on? 😄 And yeah i know about that new HKS but that is like 2000k USD without taxes/shipping in here   Iam getting a touch up tune but my "problem" is that on the "not" hot day iam getting peaks around 0,9 bar...and when it was around 15 Celsious i saw peak around 1 bar which is just too much for stock turbo. And of course turbo is old and i like to get some new one for a piece of mind 🙂 
    • I'm working on the assumption that our friend Jasmine here is a Russian (or, possibly Ukrainian) spammer/spambot, based purely on the number of such that I have been having to neuter in the last few weeks. IP address for the OP above was in WA. But that could have been via VPN. Posting at quarter to 4 in the morning is a good sign of being from somewhere in Europe. The last Jasmine that I kicked in the cooch was IP addressed in Ukraine. Even that could have been via VPN, and the bitchbot could have been from Russia, Serbia, China or anywhere. Regardless, was a spambot, so I killed it with fire. The fact that our new friend Jasmine here did not respond in any way to my tart query strongly suggests to me that this OP was just the establishment phase of a user able to be activated for spamming in a week, or 3 or 10.
