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.

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
