Waits for half of SAU to slap him..... :whistling::whistling:

NAH ! Just put my order through now through paypal. Precision CEA Billet 5558 0.63/T3/V-band plus two silicon joiners $1045 usd delivered to SYD. Wooooott ! ! ! Done! Hurrah.. lol

Were you sweating a little bit as you clicked that button, Ron? :P Lol just jokes mate, looking forward to results, good stuff on finally committing!

I was sweating like a pussy when I clicked that button Hanaldo, and Jase, ur welcome for a ride when done mate, but I'm not a errm..extremely safe/cautious driver..ask err Jez. lol.

lol well making the car even faster is not a good way to become a better driver IMHO.

i generally advise people to thrash the life out of something underpowered to improve their skill. i dont have any advice for you with a 5558 powered NEO :P

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

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

How did you go with that 5558 on the SR20? Ball bearing or journal? Do you have any further information relevant for SR20? (thanks in advance!)

I just bought a top mount T3 external set-up with 44mm tial gate but minus turbo and am trying to work out what turbo to go for (who isn't :wacko: ).

Currently makes around 270rwk out of a T2 3071 internal gate on 23psi with E85 and Tomei 260 cams, standard bottom end for now (Unigroup dyno) so I obviously want more than that, actually a lot more than that - ie ability to push to 350rwk later on. Unfortunately, it still has to retain reasonable response for a track car (very irregular street car) which makes it a bit trickier.

So far have narrowed it down to;

  • 5558 journal or ball (55 exducer, 58 inducer)
  • 5858 journal or ball (58 exducer, 58 inducer)
  • TD06SL2-20G 8cm (3" inlet, 52.5 exducer, 54.1 inducer - think it might be too small as most results seem to be around the 250-295 mark)
  • TD06SL2-25G 10cm (4" inlet, 60.5 exducer, 54.1 inducer)

It seems the 5558 will make the numbers but on high boost (not good for standard bottom end) and the 5858 will make it easier but will sacrifice some response in doing so (not good for turns 2, 9 at EC and fish hook and last corner at Wakefield ;) ).

Currently leaning towards the 5858 ball bearing but not sure about the response it will give.

jump on NS.com and have a look at DRE20's car, he has a 5858 and the dyno plot makes it look fantastic. very nice and broad powerband. Do this if you really want that 350kw 'down the track' setup.

FYI the TD06SL2 20G is a smaller turbo than what you have now and the TD06SL2 25G (T67) is more of a 6cyl oriented item.

If you simply buy a T3 .63 external gate housing for your current turbo and retune your car will improve everywhere. You should crack closer to 300kw and response will also improve. This is what I recommend you do.

If you want to sell your 3071, please PM me.

Yeah I never thought of that! I just put a brand new rear housing on it a year or so ago. But I think I will sell it.

Yeah I'm on NS and have seen the build. Scale is in speed so hard to tell but the graph does look good. Its also a large bore engine with 90mm pistons.

There's also Joels 5558 BB. Hard to tell what its like with the graph he has put up though.

NYTSKY: Is that not what Hi-Octane were running on their R34 at WTAC?

I think it was a 65, could be wrong.

The 32 had a 6262 on it and was absolutely flying. One of the better sounding cars there too.

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
