Bill knows the blokes down at MTQ as they are Australia's largest distrubutor, then there's GCG, Ray Halls, Roto Master and a couple others.

You took that statement the wrong way.

It comes down to this and ONLY this.

Bill's highflow DOES NOT have the R&D GCG's highflow does. Have a look at GCG's website and their highflow pics, its definitely not just a GT30 core slapped inside the RB housings.

Really I don't care which way you go. :P

I'm simply pointing out the tried and proven highflow where you cannot go wrong, no surprises no disappointments you know what you are getting.

If your willing to take a risk to try something new that really is great. I hope it works out well, if it does we have a much greater choice of highflows available.

A little while back on a cruise I was talking to pixel8r about his setup, said the turbo he now has is a little laggy. Thats not something I've heard from the GCG highflows.

:(

um. i think bill said something about using GCG parts for the rest of the turbos housing. im going in there with a mate 2moro to see exactly what im getting for that price. pixel8r got the same kit I asked him about Bill's service and he said the same thing. Excellent. dont change my mind now my cars been thru hell and has been off the road for 2 weeks and I cant be f**ked looking now for diff options as I have made my mind up and dont mind spending extra $$$ for peace of mind. I'm getting guarantees and warantees and helpful assistance. Bill told me ill see 300kw with this package hes making up for me. im getting what im paying ~2500 for dont u worry. and cubes the turbo is good for 500hp. thats ~340kw if im not mistaken just off the top of my head, with GCG made up kit to bolt my fabricated dump pipe back on and not to make a waste of anything seems good to me. Im doing it tomorow and i'll be done with it. EMU, Injectors and an FMIC will see me at the power I want then ill start doing stuff engine and manifold side of things. its all happening within 3-4 weeks so i dont need to hear from u "ur doing stuff all wrong" because no matter how marginally a time frame im doing it, its all getting done and the car will see 245kw fairly soon on a safe tune. thanks once again

Paul.

with all due respect to pixel8r, his car makes less power than a standard turbo....

perhaps his turbo has more headroom (maybe it will, maybe it won't due to the turbine housing) but it doesn't look like a good or sensible match to his needs or his current level of modification and the proof was in the results he came back with.

you are getting great advice from cubes, black32 etc and trident, perhaps really listening is the way to go.

I was only getting grumpy cause Black32 said Bill was a nice bloke and just a good salesman.

Go back and re read the thread. I said -

Bill is a good salesman, ill give him that

You got grumpy yourself the post before i replied with the above.

You need to sit down, think about what u want, then ask advice. Be prepared for others who have travelled your path before with conflicting advice to what u believe is true...

People here speak from real world experience

wat u have been giving isnt exactly advice. im going to try this "new setup" which bill has done to alot of R33s and has told me is a common upgrade. Im paying "extra" cash because i dont want a second hand turbo OF ANY SORT. do u understand me now. please dont correct me unless i need correcting. i suggest u go back and read what ive been writing before you get all high and mighty on me from your REAL WORLD experience and as ive told u bill has installed more turbos than u have seen ur own mother. maybe you should ring him up and ask him exactly what hes doing to my car so u can understand further. i wouldnt be going there if MTQ was cheaper as a Garrett dealership i suppose they would be better! bills told me hes gonna be doing same thing as they do. end of story.

my car wont be laggy because ILL HAVE THE SUPPORTING MODS THAT PIXEL8R DOESNT HAVE WHICH HE HAS TOLD ME ABOUT.

Point is also : THIS IS ADELAIDE NOT MELB OR SYD. this shits gonna be more expensive. MTQ quoted me 1600 for what slide gives out for 1000 dollars. geez.

Who knows cubes i think i wrote that with a smile on my face dont bother reading it if u feel offended. no doubt black32 will say something now. all i need to do is wait no doubt then defend myself further. god. cubes least u were nice enought to point me in a few good directions of where to go in the nice long PMS u wrote me on what to do.

I never said get a 2nd hand turbo? :laugh:

Never got high and mighty either. Cubes and Trident offered you their opinion (based on their experience, never said my real world experience), and you replied

its all happening within 3-4 weeks so i dont need to hear from u "ur doing stuff all wrong" because no matter how marginally a time frame im doing it, its all getting done

I was simply asking why you got snappy at people who offered their opinions. No need to try to defend anything.

I personally dont care how many turbos Bill has installed, good for him if he cracks 1 million of em.

Calm down stress can kill.

hehe at least... :laugh:

Not offended Paul. :(

Pixel8r runs an Auto. Auto's spool turbo's much earlier than their manual brothers.

But do take on board that GCG are 'in to' and own RB's and have sunk the $$ in to R&D, something ATS and MQT has not done.

GCG have developed a turbo/highflow for the RB and it works better than anything else out there on the market for the given power,average power,spool and response.

They know the limits of the std hitachi housing and don't try to push it past that.

Have a quick read back and look for discopotato03's posts regarding the hitachi housing and how its nozzles are not optimal.

This is exactly why GCG have gone bout playing with their highflow instead of doing it on the cheap and simply grabbing a chra then machining housings up so it bolts together with absolutely no R&D.

The MQT/ATS setup will work ok and still make power but it can be improved upon.

UNLESS ATS is simply grabbing a GCG highflow and bolting it on to your car. This is what you have to find out. Exactly what are they doing, a workshop is a workshop, they will always push what they sell. You know this. :laugh:

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
