For turbine wheels update We can change that to GT2860 steel wheels with turbine housing re-profile and wastegate porting for $700 per turbo.

are these the same as the -5 turbos?

Idential specification. In sleeve bearing.

Just to avoid confusion for others, putting ideal spec wheels in the stock housings won't make it the same as -5 turbos because the -5 turbos use a 0.6 compressor housing and 0.64 turbine housing.

So even more lag

So even more lag

I'm still not 100% sure what stock A/R turbine housings are on the stock turbos but most ppl say they're .48 or something. The stock compressor housings are .42. The 707160-9 wheels would prob work better in the factory machined housings.

A friend of mine did this a few years ago. He claims it has less lag than a set of -7s, but that was several years ago, so I can't really give you any more details than that. A turbo shop in Townsville (John Patrick) did the job for him.

Well. as soon as steel wheels are in. noticeably more lag. Drove N1 and Normal R32, defiantly be able to tell which one's what. Bigger turbine housing will help making more power with more lag, its only a 1.3L 3cyc engine per turbo. I think machine -5 to stock housing would be a less laggy option for up to 350rwkws (I've seen 345rwkws).

So even more lag

So put correctly sized -9's on there for 330-340rwkw if that is what you want.

Just had a look at the stockies

.42 front and .48 rear

does this mean it wont flow as much as a -5s (.64 a/r) after hi-flowing?

No where NEAR what "true" ball bearing -5s will make.

You are basically putting a turbo designed to be in a certain way, into a set of restrictive housings.

You run into potential issues like:

will not make power easily, require fair amounts of boost for the power, create lots of backpressure and potentially higher intake temps for the equivalent power level.

Cutting short by going a sleeve bearing rebuild in restrictive housings

vs

Ball bearing turbo, correctly designed housing/wheel combo

It's a GTR - if your too cheap to afford turbo's to do it justice, begs the question IMO.

With the brand new price of Genuine Garretts these days, rebuilding stock GTR turbos IMO is a thing of the past

    • Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?
    • Cats are called Bella, and Donna...  Like that poisonous plant And I remember your 2 monsters, I remember making a little bit of wee when you let them out... LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it  
    • All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.
    • That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
    • Not to mention they drive like a bucket of bolts! yuck!
