Why have I been thinking you both had the .82 v band rear?

I think it's partly because of the numbers you put out I must of just assumed...

So what is the go with a .63 5558 compared to a 3076r in terms of compressor and turbine wheels then? Because it seems to put out very similar numbers to a .82 3076r

Well 280-290kw with full boost at 4000rpm isn't too shabby for a JB turbo, though no better than a Kando T67 in spool and a bit concerning if IATs are getting unacceptable. Sounds to me like the Kando would be a better unit for this kind of setup, though the ball bearing unit would no doubt be quite a bit nicer.

True, I don't think anyone is punting a T67 on the stock manifold. The comp housing is too large from what I know.

I have to say though the result from Kurtis is really nice. Spool is mega and so is power, but it needs to be said hes on a high mount and E85. The T67 is probably better off at the level Ron is at (with a cheap highmount) but the 5558 would be better in terms of contingency.

Not to rub anything in to anyone, but we all did say 'buy a hypergear' about a million times lol.

What do you mean by contigency, JD?

Contingency planning in case Ron gets bored of his current power I mean. The 5558 seems better matched to the highmount and E85 slurping setup that he would probably move to from there, based on the result from Kurtis which seemed to be very responsive whilst making its 360kw.

Kurtis car has a very linear power curve on the street, when he took me for a run in it, even on high boost it would hardly brake traction.

It came on very low in the rev range, and pulled smoothly all the way to redline. Not like a laggy single setup or twin setup which has the nothing nothing nothing and than bam it ramps on hard wheel spins all over the road, than bogs down when u kick it up the next gear.

Long story dude...had a friend of a friend mini tub it..car went missing and shit stolen and paint f**ked(it was a new paintjob already)

I had all the dodgyness fixed/ retubbed/ 4link/cage fitted and my mate that painted it the first time...has fixed and repainted it for FREE...(instead of another 5G), so i can't complain..

Not like i havn't seen it..lol, my mate lives on a farm and has his workshop and booth there..haha

..Turbos a Gt45 frame , its a discontinued turbo..you havn't been able to get them for 3-4yrs..hence me taking 2 yrs to find one in the U.S. checking google every week..was a headf**k to buy and get here

Boost leak has been fixed since then Deano, the bov he installed was poo. Was leaking at 1 psi with the smoke test.

But yes its a nice linear power curve not a lag monster

    • Yeah, plenty of air flow, there is a dedicated path that feeds the air in to the OEM intake tube behind the bumper As for a "tangible effect", maybe, but getting the pod/intake air out of the hot engine bay is worth it psychologically to me, even if it gives no performance difference, so the tangible effect in my Lizard brain saysss yessss  In the end, to me a tangible effect isn't always about performance, sometimes it a sound or a look, or even a...... feeling  Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga
    • yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching
    • Quite right, if you make it to that pension you deserve every cent
    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
