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!

    • A 1.5 way is a 2 way. It is just a 2 way with a less aggressive ramp on overrun.
    • The ABS and/or TCS being missing/broken will not cause the engine to misbehave. It just casues CEL to come on and annoy you. The CEL is useless if it is always on, so you have to do the things you have to do to get rid of it, so it can be useful. Being a Stag ECU, then yes, it will not expect TCS to be present. But it will expect ABS to be present and working. You will need to either make the ABS CU talk to the ECU (don't ask me what that will take on an NA R34), and make sure the hardware is working....or, you just need to blank it out in Nistune. Do not persist with the stock ECU. You will just have problems. Gte it Nistuned. Start from there. DO YOU HAVE A BOOST SENSOR? The ECU's boost sensor that it. It is connected to the loom at the rear of the coil cover. Usually rides on the firewall on an R34, but is usually bolted down to a bracket along with all the other crap at the back of the coil cover when a Neo is dropped into another car. If you do not have it, the ECU will shit the bed. So, do you have one?
    • So sadly the fuel pump etc was not it. The pump and filter is new and it is still cutting around 4000 rpm. A read something about ABS/TCS (engine is from stagea and ECU too so no TCS) and i dont know for 100% that my car has ABS. It has ABS "cube" in engine bay but i dont think it works(or at least from my braking experience). Can be something like that?  I will be driving the car next week to Nistune tuner to properly see what is wrong...  
    • the Tomei LSD fluid with lsd kit. frustrated that it was shaking the car to crap and affecting everything else negatively, I pulled the diff last night, and removed the lsd carrier, could not find anything wrong, however it seem to be 100 locked up acceleration, and deacceleration, wondering if they sent me a 2 way not a 1.5??  either way I installed the stock open carrier back in place. test drove everything smooth as butter again. no shake, shutter, random, what felt like clutch slip and grab or drive shaft play, etc. something differently wrong in side the lsd. I might bother taking it apart (if possible) to figure out what's going on inside this carrier, as bought too long ago to return.  only draw back is its back to a one wheel wonder.
