I rekon be it myself I would go a 5858. Apparently they have a broader powerband than the 5558.

OOFT CUZ OOOFT.

If you went in a car with a 5558 you would be happy enough not to worry ;)

I have heard back from the seller - $980 incl shipping, good price I reckon. So now I need to get all the specifics back to him. 5558 CEA Billet T3 V-band 0.63a/r, Type 'S' cover (4" in and 2.5" out). Surge slotted inlet or ported? Faark theres so many options. Please correct the specs for me haha.. Looking at you Jase, you know all this lol..

And 5858 ahhh maaan you guys confusing me grrrrrrr...please dont say thats better with a broader power band, I dont wana go research '5558 vs 5858 now. Just a tad worried on the 0.63a/r as I know with the 3076r, people go the 0.82 generally.

If you research anything else i am sure half of SAU will slap you! :dry:

So you are getting a plain bearing 5558? How much laggier are they than the BB ones?

Yes a journal bearing - I did many read-ups, the ball bearing options are not much more responsive for a lot more $$, the Unigroup boys convinced me these 5558s are very identical to the 3076r in spool, response and power but walks away after 23psi.

They are similar, so BUY IT NOW

Ok ok, I WILL buy before end of this week, promise, it takes a day to communicate with US sellers due to time difference. But please do me a little favor, confirm/correct my specs listed above a few threads back. ;)

Are you ordering from real street? Trevor Harmon?

Here is the EXACT order to make:

PRE 500-5558 - Precision 5558 SP Cover 4" Inlet 2.5" outlet .63ar T3 vband out

That is what I was going to order, it is what you need. End of story, order NOW!

Oh thanks man - I'm guna get it from FSR Motorsport from Cali.

Just a quick one though, is it with anti surge or not -theres an 'S Cover' and an 'Anti-surge S Cover' according to real street:

Sent the details to seller and asked him to ensure its a T3 housing and not T3/T4 as advertised on some ebay adverts from others. This is what he said:

"T3 refers to the turbine housing and if you go with an SP cover that is a T4 sized cover so in essence it is a T3/T4. Either way the wheels are what matter"

Please advise if thats a problem as its a bit confusing, I'm itching to buy haha..

He also advised me to make the oil lines in- car so its the required length, I want to get a Kando oil line kit however if that will go on the Precision inlet. - 1/8" npt and -4 oil line recommended by him.

dont get the line till you have the turbo yeah.

the order information i gave you is correct. the SP housing has the surge slots.

just get the one i mentioned and stop fretting about it.

Thanks a lot man, sent him an email requesting a paypal order, job done. Please don't tell me now that the 5858 is slightly better with more power and a better powerband or I might start looking for you hehe :D ................ woohoo no more shopping girl now...

Haha nah man that is congrats! weve all been watching you fret over choice for ages. Its good news that you have taken the plunge!

The 5558 is more responsive than the 5858, so im not about to tell you its the wrong choice as we all know it can make killer power!

    • Nope.    Grab a varex and turn it down as you get close to home, win win? 
    • So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?
    • The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
    • Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.
    • Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks
