HKS 3037S 56T, getting custom manifold, dump etc made up and getting it all ceramic coated - inlcuding the turbine housing. Just waiting to get it fitted - starting to itch..... I also have cams on order from Japan (being made) head gasket, exh cam gear, injectors, pump etc. The waiting is killing me!!!!

Anything in particular? The 550cc injectors there are very expensive for what they are, low impedance top feed and second hand - they are charging about the same price as side feed high impedance new from japan. Their lightened flywheels seem like a good buy at $295, but they weigh 6kg - second hand from Jap, I have seen 4.5kg flywheels for less.

Bottom line, sometimes places sell some stuff really cheap, other stuff not so cheap. I wouldnt say they are no good - just depends on what you are after.

to be honest is lag really shit to have on the street.

Whats 500 rmp in the context of going for that extra power.

when boost does hit its gonna be a heap of

fun.http://www.rotorworx.com.au/perfor_turbo.html

heres a link i just found, with a few other turbos you might not have looked at.

seem reasonably priced too for what they are capable of.

i was speaking to another guy on the forums. also has an rb25det in a solvia. and he was running one of the series 5 turbos.

he used the stndard manifold but just got two of the exhaust studs relocated. it cost him $20 to get done.

The car ran 13.8 on 8 psi at 106mph so cant be doing to bad.

just another way instead of spending mega dollars.

the turbos go for around $200 and then you could get it rebuild and hiflowed for around $800.

wouldn'd be a bad idea for the price.

i think he said it spooled up at 4000 rpm.

Rob, HKS 2835, or a garrett gt30, just make sure you get one with a smallish turbine AR ratio:) Either of those should be fine. If you have a talk to the guys Per4manz, or SST - I'm sure they would be able to find the perfect turbo. Your aims for rwhp v's lag seem pretty realistic, depends on how much you want to spend at the end of the day.:rolleyes:

INASNT, Evan (PSI fabrication) is making it.

    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
