I am in NZ, a mate of mine was running a Turbonetics T66 on his GTS4 for quite some time and it did hold on fine until he blew his motor and the oil got contaminated and stuffed the turbo. It was quite impressively laggy given it was on a 3litre, though granted it was a plain bearing/non GTK version. I'm surprised to hear they are potentially competitively price in Oz as here they are really expensive, probably part of the reason they are never used.

Its interesting that in their country of origin hardly anyone seems to use them either if you look through specs of all their time attack and top drag cars.

Yeah you have to buy them from the states to get them at the prices listed before. Otherwise you can get them from Turbonetics in Australia for about $1000 dearer.

Ahh ok, yeah so once you have paid freight + GST then they are equally expensive...

Who's the lucky bugger that works for Performance Wholesale then?

Off topic but is Wendy Mac going well? Do you hear from or see her?

Maybe you need to give Mark a call and have a chat with him. It is standard repalcement for you T51R SPL BB in every way. Got to love another 200HP......

Yep, she calls a few times a day. Busy working for KRE (her husband). I can't believe the amount of engines Ken pumps out the door. The guy doesn't sleep! Cheers for asking.

Anyway back on topic now - sorry.

Don't be silly, HKS aren't so helpful as to provide what kind of flow you should expect from one of those turbos. Aside from price, its the main reason I'd never own an HKS turbo :3some:

It's not HKS's responsibility to provide compressor maps for these, considering they are a Garrett turbocharger. It's like the T51R, HKS won't even sell the compressor maps for these. Garrett on the other hand....

    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
