Interesting comparison. It appears the -5s may have its measure when you factor in they ramp a tad sooner and with E85 may be able to get the ignition wound in sooner ? Real curious to know if they drive as per the textbooks with the twins offering a little more transient response ...any torque graphs?

lol its not definite yet, but I have the invoice for a 55

58 .64

was going to pay it this week but funding fell short :( will need to wait a few more weeks maybe

I cant find any results with this turbo. It looks about the right size for my YB Cosworth (cruiser/street car) but still thinking an FP71HTA.

Do the internal gate setups work well...all the results i am googling are external setups. The R34 GTT seemed to be external for its 350rwkws so perhaps a 5130 is all i need for a grunty 280-300rwkws...happy to run up to 26psi

Yes it was external 44mm plumbed in.

Will be tuning sr20 with 5558 external this week or next. Just running motor in

thats more or less what I'm chasing but isn't the 5180 an old t3t4 based dinosaur?

yavuz at unigroup seems to have talked me out of the 5558 and back onto a simple 20g. Just as well I ran out of money before I hit the invoice

Really? Why did 5 if his customers just buy 5 precision turbo's but he tell u not too? Weird

I have been building though, Roy. A very basic setup but I wont be affraid to throw 25psi at it if I have to. Forged slugs, stock rods, race bearings, studs, springs, retainers, cams. Most of the work is done just need to get my crank crack tested and the springs put in the head.

It was Mick who did the asking for me on his recent trip there. Mick let him know about the type of setup im building and projected output and drivability, the verdict was that the 5558 isnt going to delivery the type of performance I want. I am envisioning it will be more like a 3076R, which I drove an SR w3076R on the weekend and it sucked HARD.

Ive sent off to see if I can get a PT 5130 for similar money to the 5558........ If I can then I think its a winner. PT market it as a replacement for an actual 3071R, meant to out perform in every way. See what the price is before I get too amped.

Powertune sell the 5130 for something like $1300. Its basically what I think I have decided is the go for my 2L 4cylinder...just need to do some more homework regarding internal vs external wastegate and flange connections and stack it up against the 71HTA with Cossie rear housing

WHOA hang on, Ive just realised something rather important. PT is advertising that item is a 56.5mm turbine.. Now normally they advertise the exducer size but I am thinking this is the turbine inducer. AKA a cropped GT30 turbine ala HKS 2835 spec.

A normal GT30 turbine has an inducer of 60mm and an exducer of 54.98.

However, the HKS spec 2835R has a 56.5mm inducer turbine.. The cropped one.

To back this up the internal gate housing is just a run of the mill GT28 spec thing.

AFAIK that is BAD news for us pissy 2L boys. Thoughts there Roy?

20Gs make power at 19psi...Precision turbos seem to like over 24psi so if you don't have s built engine?!?!

All the ones i have done have made big power on 22psi. Havent needed to go bigger boost as of yet

I am aware of 1 result on an ethanol powered RB25, what arent you telling us Jezzabelle? :P

Pretty sure u know about my GTR's results too :)

Another rb25 i finished made 301kw 16psi with a 5557 last week. On 98. With a microtech thats wandering majorly at high rpm. Stoopid ecu's

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

Lets put it this way; you'll be having a new bottom end quite soon. The engine for testing is waiting on one part before assembly, and that part is being picked up at the end of this week and sent...

Kinoath lol. I wish! Should be an interesting comparo between mine and pauls. Pauls has a mega dollar head and nismo collector, ive gone the budget route with a quick port job at home and the standard collector. Cant wait!

    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go.
