I am interested in a high flow of an Rb25 turbo, as long as there is not too much involved with getting the lines altered.

Is there any people in for definate yet, or is it still all in the process at the moment?

Thanks,

Abu

Ok people, ive spoken to John again and this is the go. With the JOURNAL bearing high flow for $1100, you need to provide John with your turbo and the actuator for it to be highflowed. You dont need to provide the LINES as you can use your stock lines. Now if anybody wants a ball bearing these will be $1550, but five people are needed to purcahse this. With the ball bearing, you need to provide the lines as John will modify them. Otherwise you can do it yourself. Everything else, as in bolts, washers will be provided to bolt back on to your turbo. There is not a lot of mucking around.

Heres all the information you guys need. So is anyone in?

SoFly and Munkey: $1550 for ball bearings on the condition that we get five. You need to provide your oil and water lines to be modified though.

Abu: If you get a journal bearning, all you need is the turbo (with actuator) as the lines do not need to be modified (turbo is only oil cooled anyway). If you want ball bearning, you need to supply the lines, and they will be modified as part of the cost

Cheers

Great to see you guys dealing with Precision Turbo's again! My GB sparked approx 40 high flows all with excellent results!

Good luck to all

I installed one of Johns BB R33/VG30 highflows on the weekend.And honestly cant wipe the smile off my face.

The car will be tuned Monday week so ive just been driving around off boost and occasionally creeping into the 2psi range.Very torquey an boost starts at about 2000rpm.Had to go to Pirtek to get some braided line made up,but its DEFINATLEY worth the effort.

With the cams,555s and Z32 that will be installed next week with the tune i will probably hit 270rwkw at 1.2bar.

If you can stretch your budget i would seriously consider the BB option!

There was a delay at UAS so i wont get my car back till Wednesday night.

Suspense is killing me!

What i know so far is that the boost will be set on high at 16psi and low at 10psi.

Should a safe and solid tune.Im hoping for 260rwkw.

Hey guys.

I know not everyone has the priveledge of being able to get a turbo at wholesale price, but I recommend making friends with someone that works at Repco, cos I can get a Garrett GT30RS Twin BB for approx $1300 - $1400 through a friend. I dunno, it seems like a lot of money for a journal bearing turbo. Im currently running a journal bearing unit with VG30 housing and im not happy with the amount of lag, but I only payed $800.

Im not trying to be a dick, just throwing some other ideas into the mix. Even at RRP I reckon a new twin BB unit would be worth the extra few hundred.

Croydon are doing some really good prices: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...howtopic=169697

    • Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
    • Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
    • Those comp test results are not hideous. Whether they are accurate or not (ie, when that comp tester says 140 psi, is the real pressure120, 140 or 160?) is unknown to us. The state of the battery used to crank it over is unknown, etc etc. Many people around here would say that the absolute values and the spread are perfectly fine to just add boost and keep going. I personally would be happier with a narrower spread than that, but even the diff between 125 and 145 is not terrible. That one cylinder at 125 though, has probably copped some damage relative to the others. You should inspect the valves seeing as you've got it open. Do you know how to measure installed ring gaps? That, and an inspection of the rings themselves, is how you will determine whether they need to be replaced. If you're not good to do these things, take the block and the pistons and rings to a shop that is, and ask them for the go/no-go on them. Do the bores need a hone at all? If so, you might well be justified in getting some different pistons in order to get away from the ring supply problem. Whether you're happy to spend a lot more money right now, on more gear, rather than less money, but an amount that looks stupid given that you will only get a handful of rings in exchange for that money, is for you to decide.
    • also possibly backed up to my filler and shat down it! 🤣
    • Ok so i would love some advice here please, i purchased an R33 a few months back and its had a few mods done to the engine, its an RB25det running a Master ECU, 1200cc injectors, bigger turbo, oil cooler, oil filter relocation kit, Spool H-beam rods, acl/ross pistons. When i removed the motor from the vehicle (as its getting a respray) i thought i would compression test it and these are the following results. Cylinder 1-145psi, Cylinder 2-143psi, Cylinder 3-125psi, Cylinder 4-145psi, Cylinder 5-140psi, Cylinder 6-135psi this test was done with the motor on the ground and powering up the starter motor. I dropped the sump and found broken oil squirters on cylinder 3,5 and 6. I was told my rings are probably worn so i stripped the motor completely to get a new set of rings for it. The trouble is no one has these rings anywhere and they have to be custom made by Ross over in the states and will cost about $600+$200 delivery. My question is how can i tell if my rings are at fault and if they are still ok and is this price ok for a set of rings?
