Hey Anton

Sarkis' 'group buy' did go ahead in a sense, but it wasn't really a group buy as such. It was pretty much - those are the prices, take your turbo down there and get it done at your own will.

I knew a few people who went ahead with sarkis' buy who borrowed housings off me so their car wouldn't be off the road for as long

I saw some of the turbos that came back and they are a great piece of work.

Nice work organising this buy. I might be in touch with you/john shortly - got a some projects that I might building

hey Chris, yeh just thought that if we do it this way we can get people together and get it at a discounted price. i might buy one of your vg30 housings of you, but ill see how things go. He offered to do it for $1250 straight up and $1100 if we went as 5 and did it. If we get 10, he might even drop it to $1000, which is a good price IMO

do these use the stock oil and water lines, as they are? or do they need to be modified?

is there any chance that in the group buy, there would be an option for the ball bearing version and just pay the difference on top of the journal bearing group price?

if so, what price for bb?

Monkeyboy, if these are like the precision turbos ball bearing ones (should be the same - theyr'e both garett catridges), then john supplies you everythign you need - washers, new banjos, banjo ends, gasket for turbo, oil drain gasket - everythign you need.

Monkboy: i know you use the existing oil and water lines, but ill confirm if they need to be modified at all. irrespective, if they are required to to be modified, all work is included in the price. Ill also try to find out what price he can do for the ball bearing and get back to you tonight.

Sexypete: so does that mean your in mate?

hey i just got a precision high flow ball bearingturbo for my r32 and its really good. i have some minor issues with my car but its definately worth it. the car is making 16psi at 4000rpm. but i did have to get new lines made up for my turbo and it would of been better if i was to buy a hks gtrs. if you are going ahead with this please make sure that it does truly bolt up or all the modifications required are listed.

I'll explain based on the ball bearing model. Like i said above, as they use a garett catridge, the bajo bolts are different sizes.

John supplies new banjos for the water and the oil.

The new oil banjo works with the stock oil lines.

The new water banjos use a different size water line end. John supplies this.

For those people getting the turbo installed by a workshop, this will be no difficulty for them.

For those people isntalling it themselves, there are a few different ways to do this. Get the new banjo end tig welded onto the stock lines to replace the stock sized end. This is perfect - will look like stock, be as strong as stock. Most places will charge about $20-30 for this because its only 2 welds.

Alternatively, you can take your lines off, and take them down to pirterk and get some braided lines made up - costs about $80 each.

I prefer to just get them tigged

sorry, i dont have any dyno sheets, but if you wanted a ball bearing, you'd be looking at at least $1500. Also to save youself hassle, if you can provide your own lines, they will be modified to fit straight back on

    • My apologies. I forgot we were talking about weird beard M series stuff. Had been talking elsewhere with someone about an R33 with similar subject and got confused.
    • Nope, I don't like the look of ND RF, or any ND really, I don't like their faces or arses, why, because of their "modern" lines, the NC, whilst "modernish" has a more rounded shape that I like Well, that's how my overly judgemental eyes see it anyway  
    • Should be more than fine, especially the overall fuel pressure would never exceed 3.5bar (assuming that thing never gets more than 0.5bar of boost in stock form). According to the chart, it's 11amps.
    • I definitely know the first rule here, look first, ask second. I've seen many people get roasted 😂 I found a few diagrams for the RB, but I'm yet to come across one for the VQ. From what I have read, the pump gets the +12v along with the FPCM, and it's the negative wire that gets passed through the resistor to regulate the voltage. So I assume I can just ground the negative wire at the pump to eliminate the FPCM control. But I really wanted to see the VQ circuit diagram first to make sure I understood it correctly. Once the new pump is in I'll do some testing to see how it behaves, and in the meantime, I'll keep looking for a wiring diagram. Thanks for your help mate, your time is greatly appreciated.    
    • Maybe? I have the Supercheap ToolPro low thingo. It has a somewhat smaller diameter lifting "bowl" than you would expect on a workshop grade trolley jack, and a split rubber pad to suit that diameter. It clears the "N1" style skirts I have. Probably wouldn't if the jack's bowl and a suitably larger rubber block were in use. Having said that though.....you only need the rubber block to exist on the inner side of the pinchweld, so could carve away any rubber that fouled the skirt, leaving some there for "insurance" </simples>
