Well i service my car every 5000km with Royal Purple 10W40 and ALWAYS warm up my car before i drive and ALWAYS cool it of for 3 min before i turn it off.. so these precautions should maximise turbo life...

I want to stick to BB highflow cause of quality, longer life as well as proven earlier spool which is what makes it more streetable...

im still waiting on Trooper to PM me the specs and price for this new bolt-on Turbo from Garrett...

One more thing guys, you think its work upgrading the stock manifold and cams?? how much increase would they give with a decent high flow?

Cheers

your manifold is fine tho you may get fast spool with a

stainless tuned length job but for the outlay of a good

quality not really worth it i think , looks pretty for a little

while tho, and cams you could get some tomei's good idea

if planing around 260rwkw up ,will give you better response, but being a

hightflow and BB wont be very laggy ,but you will have good mid

to top with cams, you can alsways do cams later idown the track anyway.

thats my 50c. :(

Cheers

Yea thats my exact thought too.. can do the cams later on if needed... my list goes as the following:

- Highflow BB turbo/Garret bolt-on

- Apexi PFC + Tune

- Eboost 2 (or any decent EBC)

- Z32 AFM

- SARD 600cc Injectors

- Tomei Fuel Pump (was considering Walbro 255lt/h)

- Just jap FMIC Kit (painted black)

Anything that im missing?

Cheers

on a related note, would it be safe pushing the stock internals around 260 - 280rw/kw?

Please comment on the parts i have listed above if you guys recommend anything else...

Cheers

many people have made more than 260rwks with the mods u have indicated without having to change internals. When u approach the 300rwks mark, then ud def need to strengthen ur bottom end, ie pistons, connecting rods, crankshaft.

Hey,

I pretty much have these exact mods except 555cc injectors and profec BII and GCG hiflow. was having pinging problems dude to bad fuel, i had to add octane booster to compensate.

Be good to compare though, even though different car blah blah blah.

Think i saw you yesterday going down cowpasture road.. i was in the white R33.

Currently have bout 180rw/kw and aiming for 250+rw/kw

Hahaha yea that was me... were you in the White R32 heading toward cecil hills? hehehe should organise a cruse or just a friendly meet...

Ahhh yes i remember... hehehe was hoping you would give it a squirt to give you a run... ur car seemed stock lol... wat sort of power figures you got at the wheels? and who did your work for you??

Cheers

yeah i like keeping my car looking stock.. catch a few unsuspecting foes. Plus if i get owned hard, i can say yeah my car is stock.. hahaha i would have given it abit but being double demerits and all i had to restrain myself.

Tuned by Unigroup Engineering, 240rwkw on 16psi. gonna take it back when i get some good fuel in there hopefully i can get abit more power.

thanks man, nah my knock sensor would have been flashing at me.. so you would have beaten me.. hhaha. It runs fine when i put V-power racing in it.. but when i put BP ultimate it pings badly.. i drove up to the shell there to get VPR but they were out of stock so i went back to BP to get ultimate, when i pulled out, that's when you saw me.

Gave it a hit on the way home and the light was flashing.. it was tuned on BP ultimate as well.

haven't taken it to wsid yet.. wanna sort out this pinging problem first.

Damn those British and their Petrol :D I always use V-Racing or Vortex... my car seems to dislike Ultimate too

Well ill be getting Adam at JEM to tune my car and i have seen some ANIMAL R33's step off his dyno... so i cant wait to do it all...

Cheers

good luck man, i heard JEM do great things..

Definately keep me up to date with how you go.

Oh i had to get new coilpacks as well as i couldn't boost past 10psi before without misfiring... There's always something!! but the car made 220rwkw on 10psi.. now no misfire but damn fuel problems!!

Definately hook up for cruise.

    • Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!  
    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
