Do These Federals Look Too Cheap?

If it's for one tyre, than no I don't think it's too good to be true. They look reasonably priced. I got my SS595's for just over $100 each but they were 205/45R17 and 215/45R17 sizes.

It equates out to around $325 not fitted or balanced for a pair. Ring a few local tyres stores and I bet most will do it for the same price fitted and balanced without having to go through ebay.

Option One Garage can supply 235/45/17's for $270 a pair delivered. Save $55 a pair by going through them instead. What size rim are you looking at putting them on?

Should I even buy these tyres? Ive been reading non stop on the huge tyre thread here and cant decide. I read some good reviews about these and for that price how can I pass? there going on 17s.

Id be happy to spend a bit more if it means ill be getting better tyres.

Well I guess it depends what you are planning to do with the tyres and what power you have etc.....like you can go out and buy $200-300 tyres and do burnouts etc and there is no point.

I just bought some new Sumitomo or whatever they are for my car ($300 fitted I think) and they seem ok but then again im not making heaps of power or drag excessively so they should last for a while (I hope). If you need new tyres I would probably try them see how it goes....

I got these tyres about 5000ks ago and they are quite good provide good straight line grip but can be a bit unstable when pushing hard through corners not as good as the kuhmo that I had on there previously but the federal where half the price at 170 each fitted and balanced I have found them to be quite soft so will be interesting to see how long they last

      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.

      I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
