I herd theres a modded MR2 down there in HBT with a huge Greedy sticker over the door, looked nice but what has it had done to it........... anyone?:D :D :)

Just thought i would answer your question on the MR2. Hes one of my mates, hes had the car for about 5 years and only had about 6 months of actual driving time. all work is done at howell, and the car has just been heaps of problems.

first they had trouble programing the computer, it had to be sent back to melb. then he got it all going and it made 220rwkw. he changed his total setup again and all of the running gear, turbo, intercooler and computer went into a red MR2 with chrome mags.

he got it all going with all of the new stuff, then it started leaking water, howell thought that it was a water pump and when the car finally went in it was a cracked head gasket and the motor was cooked. howell said that he wasnt going to cover any of the repairs but i think they have sorted it out so that hes not going to get charged labour.

when the car is running though, it flys. huge power, hardly any weight in the car!

i hope that answers your question.

Yo Roaldin,

You got that Apexi installed in your GTR yet?

Im running a GTR R33 VSpec and Griffo is just about to install it for me...any joy?

Not yet. I have had some trouble getting decent information about them. The manuals I have are for a Mazda and a Honda. I was hoping the computer would control the boost without having to use a separate boost controller but the FC won't see the map sensor. The business that sold it to me are no help at all.

Good luck with it. Let us know how things go.

Tim.

    • They are, a good friend of mine bought one to replace his blow factory turbo, running a Toshi Tune reflash. Just use their supplied water/oil lines and you're good to go. At the time, they were like $900 delivered.
    • This is an option for 100% bolt on, the GCG high flow -  https://gcg.com.au/turbo-charger-upgrade-skyline-gtst-2iu-xtrgts-s1.html Also, I'm pretty sure hypergear does a high flow that is 100% bolt on, it just doesn't make as much power as their bigger high flows.  Even if you get a hypergear turbo that requires you to chance the intake piping, it is a really simple modification. It can be as simple as a piece of silicon hose and you pop a filter on the end. It doesn't have to be some crazy pie cut titanium work of art intake pipe.  If you have the ability to swap the turbo yourself, you would be able to sort the intake piping out. 
    • Just as a thought, if it's in neutral, thats your drive line disconnect, not the clutch. Clutch slip at the dyno with pedal fully out, is actually adding a second disconnect. So it's not a clutch issue if you're in neutral. Just a bit of friction dragging the output around while in the air.
    • The HG high flow is excellent, and costs about the $$ you're talking about. But it, and probably every other highflow, uses a diffeent core than the original turo, and the original Hitatchi core is quite long. So, I think it is inevitable that there is likely no such thing as a highflow that just "bolts on" with no other effort required. And the same is likely true for HG's outright replacement "bolt on" turbos (the ATR things). And the same is likely true for anything similar from elsewhere. I have no idea if the cheap Chinese/Taiwanese complete turbos from eBay/Temu/etc are as bolt on as they claim. I mean, they claim the bolt onto the NAs as well as the turbos, and we know that can't be "bolt on". But it wouldn't matter because I'm not buying a $169 4 psi turbo for anything other than a paddock basher.
    • Bummer...yeah i "need" something to "ease" up the work and for my driving it would be enough.    Iam counting the tune "without" turbo. I do not mean "cheap" like something from Temu around 200 USD, "Cheap" is something around 1000 USD?
