Mate if I was you I would have done it a year ago, I hate my -5s I should have went single from the start. But than I also like not having to worrie about the cops.

What exhuast you gunna run? Or you going to adapt the RPM one?

There is an issue SOMEWHERE in your setup. 330 on 5's is a little below par.

Well the RP one is twin 3 inch all the way. I'm thinking about not running the twin's front pipes, coming out the back of the turbo in a 4 inch then splitting that into a twin 3 inch to meet up with the "catback". Each gate will pluimb into 1 of the 3 inch pipes.

The SR result im reffering two, we overlayed my 2.8 and 5's. This SR with a 6262 had MORE bottom end grunt and made an extra 10 kw up top.

i no man, ill work it out one day, got a new exhuast coming and a new intake setup. So ill try that out, and c how it goes. If nothing improves ill just drive it as it is, till Stevo comes up with the goods on the bits and peaces to make her a lil bigger on the bottom end if you no what i mean, than prob throw the -5s in the bin lol

im very interested to c how this turns out but

Precision turbos are getting a lot of love recently, but with the results they are putting I think it's definently justified.

Is there a reason they aren't as common as Garrett's? Like we're they not to good back in the day or something along those lines?

^ Good question. I've followed US/Euro results for years and bleated on about some of the results people had been getting wth FP and Precision turbos for years and said the Garrett GTX turbos have been too little too late but for a large part seems to have fallen on deaf ears MOSTLY here, got the typical "inflated dyno figures" speels. Understandable that people need to see the results from familiar environments and setups, but that is probably largely why they haven't spread around this part of the world so much. Overseas in the EVO/Supra world they are EVERYWHERE.

Its also alot to do with the parity of the dollar, i have bought a one, yrs ago, and sold it and i bought a innovate turbo yrs ago from the U.S

when they where the "big" thing, but they where crazy money compared to garrets once you changed the dollar over and imported

compared to a garret here.

The other part is people talked out of there absolute arse about them on here without even trying them..with all the inflated dyno and need mega

high boost to work bullshit..its given me a good laugh lately.with the all results coming forth ...lol

cheers

A little? lol... A LOT!

Be interesting to see what you think, going to have the -5s running first for a month and then do back to backs?

Given you are changing head etc ;)

I'm still undecided Ash. It's a lot of work and a lot of dicking around.

Part of me thinks I've gone too big but if a SR is matching my -5 effort then I think I can go up one size, given I have 500 cc over that particular result. If it is too big well I'll drop back to 6262 or 6266.

    • Nah that is not actually a lot. Just painting my GTR frontend and the little bits to make sideskirts/nismo flare pieces work correctly/fit on the sedan/mount up correctly came to about $7000. Is it a lot? Sure. None of this is economical. Economy would be shelling the car and buying a 2010 Corolla to commute in. The perspective of all of this is different.
    • I have the re003s’ on my 06 XT Forester Turbo and I highly rate them for street wet and dry
    • I don't see any issues here. I've been saying all along this is a big job, the price reflects that.  When the car comes back perfect I'm sure it will feel like money well spent. 
    • Remember, take original quote. Double it. Then add a bit more. It's how any project goes.
    • So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
