aahhh, don't ask dude.

we were having disputes with the trubo supplier and when we came to an agreement, the dude from garrett said that he'll send down a A/R .82 which should be fine, but they actually sent down the A/R .63, and before i knew it, it was already on the car.

i think it should be ok though as the same combo with a A/R .63 made ~260rwkw on an RB30ET at ~20psi.

if i'm not happy, i'll be sending it back to sydney and asking for a .82.

That was a little bit of interesting information. Interesting being the amount of extra boost required for the SOHC head on the 3ltr to make 260rwkw.

you're cool dude.

i actually found out from my friend yesterday that the car i mentioned actually ran 18-19psi when it made that power.

also, another car with that same turbo made 285rwkw on 24psi.

i guess the SOHC makes quite a difference to power as compared to DOHC.

actually, my 2L cossie engine (DOHC) made almost the same power a VL RB30ET (SOHC) would make with the same turbo on the same boost, so i'm happy.

btw, the VL i mentioned which made ~260rwkw with the GT3040 (A/R .63) has run an 11.67@115mph at calder park, and fyi, it's a 5 spd manual.

    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
    • BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
