Dam straight Damo would rather do SAU them heroin gts4 are 4.1 because they share the same parts from the gtr i think r32 gtst is 4.3 because of the lack of torque from the rb20

pete,

if you wanna cover the cost of 2 missed weekends (the best paying shifts of the week) so that i can come along on this awesome road trip (which i was embarking on straight after a 10 hour shift) i would be more than happy to do so.

much love,

dave.

so the 2 for 1 tuesdays at the "house of pleasure" still dont pay as much as your weekend regulars?

I thought for sure that was a great idea. LOL

That turbo you have there Abe is not a XR6T rear, as they have 'Ford' Stamped on them, not garret.

I was talking about the flange pattern, not the actual rear housing.

I emailed HPIAB today about some prices on some items. Haven't received a reply yet, could anyone tell me a good place to get copper washers from for braided lines, and a turbo manifold spacer. I am thinking ATS, maybe?

I went with the slightly bigger rear housing as that was what about 75% of people are recommending in the Forced Induction thread, and also a few tuners i have spoken to. As it is also going in my daily, it gets driven to and from work, so the speed limit is 60-100kmph, so i saw no point in having a turbo that spools too early. But if my engine dies, it has given me some head room for when i rebuild the RB25.

Shame i wasn't online to see your photoshop Andrew, serves me right to attempt doing my tax via etax.

Some pics of new acquisitions for my new toy.

Plus a CF intake tube yet to arrive. Plus LEDs for all internal lights, parkers and number plate lights. Plus lots and lots of little bits and pieces.

      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.
