what do they mean by FACE 2

I've never really known what this meant to be honest, but looking at the Rays wheels website, the Face 1's come in 4 stud and 5 stud patterns whereas the Face 2 only came in 5x114.3. They both have different offsets and widths available too.

I've got no idea though, first thought it was to do with the brake clearance of the face, but they both can be made to clear the large calipers. :happy:

cool!

wat about deep dish on the rear??????

how much???

SAU has quite a few traders who would get these wheels in brand new for you. Best to PM some of them for a price, but you'll be looking at $3k+ as far as I know. GT-C's aren't the cheapest wheels around.

The amount of dish a wheel has will depend on the width, offset and face style. Made to clear larger calipers, less dish and vice versa.

If you're asking how much the above wheels have, no idea..

Well since i have these wheels i can clear up the Face 1/2 thing. Its the spokes on the wheels, Face 1 have flat spokes that are pretty much vertical with the wheel, and Face 2 have a bit of a curve to the spokes so it kind of flares out (or is it the other way around...lol). Hope that makes sense....

What size/offset do you have and what mods were done to fit if any?

Not sure if you will have to do this but i did and it was a pain in the f***ing ass! My wheel studs weren't long enough to fit the GTC's, you could only do one turn of the wheel nuts. So had to knock them all out and put in longer ones and them grind them down a little bit so they weren't too long.....Look into that to see if you have to change to longer wheel studs.

Can't remember my offsets, but they are 18x8 and 18x9 and fit fine. with no guard rolling etc.

Finally found a "more" suitable set. 19 x 8.5 +5 dish 80mm front and 19 x 9.5 +12 dish 86mm rear. I also put a deposit down. Supplier assured that i need rolled guards 5-10mm but nothing too major. Im abit uneasy the more i look at the offsets though. Any insight as to what im in for? Any help muc appreciated

      Cas issue

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.

      Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.

      boost source Size Garrett gt28 gen2

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
