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

    • Hi all, considering clutch upgrade to support 1130 engine hp from 1650cc injectors on e50 at 85% duty cycle (1650 x (11.85/14.7) x 85%). Narrows down to these three as they can be converted to use gm 26 spline input shaft if I ever want to use transmission with that input shaft (orc1000f and r3c easy/cheap just change center hub; tr2cd pricier must change clutch discs). Pricing orc1000f similar to tr2cd, r3c about usd 200 pricier. Orc1000f triple plate 200mm. Tr2cd twin plate 215mm. R3c triple plate 215mm. Claimed max torque : orc 1000f 723 lbs ft; tr2cd 800 lbs ft; r3c 1100 lbs ft. Why orc1000f triple plate but claims lower max torque vs tr2cd twins? Is orc1000f underrated? Any info maxing out these clutches? Info on street/traffic driveability/pedal feel? Thank you for any info on them.
    • Some troubleshooting, connect up a timing light/gun with a proper ignition lead on coil 1. Hold the revs at 4~4500rpm and see if your timing is all over the shop, scattering off its tits. If so, there's a high chance your CAS is fked. But I read you have a Link ECU ready to go in, why not just skip all this and put that in - will make troubleshooting so much easier.  
    • Misfires when the car is fully warm are generally attributed to the coils (and/or the igniter, on cars with a separate igniter). They can stop working properly when they get hot for a number of reasons. Either electric/electronic, or from thermal expansion opening up gaps and allowing HV leakage. Seeing as you have replaced the coils, that could/should rule them out. But I wouldn't always assume so. Were the coils genuine? Or is there a chance you have bought some counterfeit Chinesium shit? Then we're back onto loom connections. They can fail when warm/hot for the same reasons. Inspections, cleaning of contact surfaces, ensuring that terminals are fully inserted, etc etc, are all justified. The same (heat effects) holds true for the other electrics and their connectors. AFM & CAS, primarily. If you try that Chinesium AFM, drive it around on low load until it is properly hot, but do'nt give it more load than you have to, except when you need to see if it will still miss. I'm dead serious about the untrustworthiness of the calibration of those copy AFMs. Injectors are unlikely to get hot unless the fuel is coming back around hot. You could try squirting them with compressed air or freeze spray to cool them back down to see if they are maybe the cause.
    • Alright, all the plugs looks good. Noticed that it starts to get bad when the car is up to temp, that's when things starts to misfire hard. next to do is Injector cleaning and such. Got in touch with a shop to do work on the injectors next Monday also help on diagnosis.
