Cam, I think it's possible to put a steel wheeled RX7 turbine in a machined RB25 turbo housing, might cost the same as a rebuild but provide a bit more power and reliability.

Im quite sure this is what I have, boosts up to 16psi easily, one day ill get around to the dyno.

I always use ATS in O'Connor

Cheap n Freindly service.

Rebuilt my VLT T3 with T4 internals as well as Hi Flowing......$1200

It has produced about 280rwHP @ 9psi on 9.0:1 comp RB30......I'm hoping it will be good enough to produce 400rwHp on 7.8:1 Bottom end I now have !....?

Anyways - on inspecting the compressor wheel on my old turbo vs my new one, I found that the new one has dual vanes while the old one has single? Any ideas? I'll post up comparative pics tonight.

Righto - Pic of the old vs new compressor wheels attached.. Any ideas?

Hmm - fitting the turbo is turning into more than just a re-bolt on. Have found some problems as a direct result of bad workmanship by *** performance (in wangara - you work it out) who fitted the dump - missing bolts and flange holes not lining up by a mile. You wouldn't think the fabrication of a flange would be so hard...

Pic attached of the poor workmanship of the dump. Absolutely pathetic and I think people should know so they can be aware of the quality of work to expect out of some places. You could argue that it'll work - which it will - but you'd expect this sort of crappy workmanship out of a backyard mob - not from somewhere who suposedly specialises in "performance" work.

i know with the mitsi turbos the TD04 is single blade and the TD05 has the twn blade thingo like yours cam, not saying its mitsi, but maybe some sort of upgrade, which might explain rev's times??

Might explain my times if this turbo was actually off my car. My turbo has twin blades tho' for the record.

I personally think people underestimate the effectiveness of a lightened flywheel..

*thinks back to the nissan micra super turbo on GT2 and the difference it made when he lightened the fly*

granted, that was a puter sim, but a lightened fly would make a hell of a difference.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
