Do the modern day turbos on the seirra reduce the lag much?

Still have a old school turbo for strength and reliability - have a maram 247 shaft and wheel. Have upped the compression and i'm guessing more suitable adavance with the e85 but will still be lucky to see full boost (30psi) before 3500rpm. Good things done these days with twinscroll and may go there after as the standard cossie exhaust manifold was designed for it.

You a Targa nut? Man I love Tassie.

Thanks all.

Man I love the detail in this, all the little things that people like me always want to do, such as the carbon bonnet pin surrounds and mirror mounts etc, but never happens, your car has it all, so neat.

and dont sneeze at 30psi by 3500rpm most of us wish could get that in skylines.

Hell my stock turbo soarer wouldnt get that lol.

      Wow ELVIS. You have an....interesting approach to conversation. Did you not notice that I wasn't talking to you?

      Hello Liam - HA - somewhere in flies - possibly I have an update, but I have been so busy, projects have taken a back seat to getting business back on track.  I will let you know the outcome, but I think I am going to go for the 8HP,  CHEERS.  ELVIS

      Thanks Joshuaho96, yes - as someone else also suggested, the 8HP seems the 'smart choice' - HA - and ZERO to do with cost, but I am sure 8 speeds will be better than 6 speeds - HA - maybe.  I will purchase a new 8HP,  Thanks.  ELVIS.

      Nobody said anything about getting a "...cheap Falcon box..."- it was JUST a question about a specific transmission.  And YOU may have a problem with not enough $ - HA - I do NOT - so please keep your comments like you are some financial guru to yourself.  BUT - much appreciated re the cost of a new 8HP and I twill probably be the way I go.  Thanks.  ELVIS.

      Most people I know in the BMW world are swapping 6HPs for 8HPs. The 6HP has a big issue with one of the clutch drum bushings wearing out shockingly early which leads to them going into limp mode going into 5th/6th gear as the oil pressure loss from the worn bushing causes clutch slip. Even with the adaptations in shifting the TCU can't bump line pressure enough to keep the clutches from slipping and burning. I've personally looked at a 335d with 6HP28 with one owner and ~90k miles on it and the transmission adaptations were way out of spec and even though it nominally drove ok I'm confident it would have needed a full rebuild sooner than later. Other than that they're fine, but the 8HP doesn't really have weird issues like this to my knowledge and they're in everything these days so pulling them out of crashed cars isn't too hard.
