Man, I've been caught out with the wrong sized V-band flange (didn't get it when I bought the turbo) which has been a bit of a pain! Hopefully I'll get on top of it, want to race in 3 weeks!

Here's a dodgy mobile pic I took

LOL NICE. SR20 FTW.

Which model is that? A fairly big one by the looks of things.

Id really like to see just how hard these things go.. The 5557 seems very interesting to me. I tend to see 35Rs looking/sounding fairly lazy.. I wonder if these turbos will provide that RIP that a turbo that size should have.

Lets see if it goes as hard as the TO4Z and makes more power

On paper it shouldn't but I have seen the same turbo on a car customer and the drivability is awesome.

It was a 2.5L rex, compared to a GT35, it made 45 more kW at all four and wasn't out of puff, that was on 29psi. If only we could have tried 40psi...

Compared to the T66 it had on it before, it drove heaps better. The real test is when you crank big boost into it though to see how it would stack up compared to the Z. Looks like I'll be the test mule!

Will be able to answer this for you next week!

But yeah so far the biggest thing with these billet turbo's is their ability to make heaps more power for the size that they over what we're all used to. Take the Forced Performance turbo's on the EVO's for example, a 53mm turbo punching out 290kW at all four is pretty impressive.

Man this is psyching me up! I better go find that clamp that I need!

Well finally found the right clamp. Hopefully should have it kicked over today, will be tuned this week if not the week after. I'm hoping that it's big enough, but if it isn't, I'll be going the next size up. I picked up a 6765 this week, they are so light it isn't funny. I was thinking how the hell can this have a 900hp rating? It feels like a toy!

Drove it for the first time tonight, it still has the Z tune in it, I cut about 20% out of the fuel but it seems it wasn't enough. Damn those 2000's are hu7e!

I'm not cracking gate (17psi) till just under 5000rpm, so I will probably go down an exhaust housing size to get the turbo speed up earlier.

Gotta say though, I've never heard a turbo like it. Very quiet operation but has a real distinctive light whine and it only flutter when you really try to.

Will have some results for a 5557 hopefully next week for you Scott and mine in a few days.

Just for your information too guys, Precision make a 7175 rated to 985hp, it is available in a divided or open housing.

We will be bolting one up on our BC RB28 '34 GT-R in the next 2 weeks :P

I'll update the spec list on it too, as quite a few things have changed!

Car feels insane! 20psi @ 4500rpm, it's a bit doughier than what I had, but I have ordered the 0.70 housing for a closer comparison. Also I'm running my Greddy boost controller again instead of the Haltech.

In other feedback, we put a 5557S on my bosses S14, it runs a factory SR20 with BC 264 drop in cams, nothing else inside the engine. On E85 it made 297kW at the wheels @ 20psi 4100rpm before the Walbro was out of gas. We're putting a second pump in it today, a set of 1600's and going to try 30psi. Be interesting to see when/if the 0.63 housing becomes a restriction (or what the stock bottom end will handle)

Great result... what size turbine housing do you have currently on your car?

    • Ok i will get those 310mm. I found one but on a different site. This is the description on those...is it ok? Technical parameters: - Axle: front. - Disc type: ventilated. - Number of holes: 5. - Disc diameter: 310mm. - Total height with center: 54mm. - Thickness (new/min.): 30/28mm. - Designed for brake calipers manufacturer: Sumitomo.
    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
