Did someone mention earlier that MHI/Trust played with billet machined comp. wheels? Any more info on that?

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/347726-kando-dynamics-turbo/page__st__40

Basically based off post #58 on page 3.

Not exactly Hard info, but a reliable source.

Keeping in mind the new billet hype is based on different wheel technology. The new Garrett range has full blades, no half blades, and is a much deeper designed wheel than the cast items. It would only make sense that buying a 25g wheel in a different material would not boast necessarily insane results.

What would be interesting though is the 11 blade T67 turbine coupled with a GTX71 compressor ;) custom turbo anyone?

I think we both know the answer... nice one Trozzle :)

haha just checking...

He seems to spread retardedness over various threads :)

Some much more useful and promising results, a back to back test using a .82a/r GT3076R and .82 GTX3076R on the same car:

going by that thread it appears a tad lazier

Nice results and back to back testing!!!

Really wish they would compare a X3071R to a 3076R, realistically the X3076R is only better on big boost (when loosing at compressor maps)

going by that thread it appears a tad lazier

the difference is that small that you wouldnt notice the difference in response driving two identical cars bar the turbo change.

i would have to agree with disco after looking at their results for the 0.82 housing that for these new wheels to get the max out of them the 1.06 housing needs to be used.

going by that thread it appears a tad lazier

looks completely negligible, the actual power and torque curves are almost on top of each other, it is only noticeable in the boost curve.

15-20hp is nothing to sneeze at, looks like a decent improvement for not much more.

Yup its decent and worth it if you are buying a new turbo, but not mind blowing like some people were saying.

The dyno doesn't tell everything about drivability and rolling response but it hardly looks like a major upgrade at this point.

GTX3071 is the one I want to see. The airflow map of that turbo looks like a real improvement.

do you think theres goin to be a chance of -5 wheels anytime soon..... it dosent sound like it,,,

Not soon enough for anyone looking to buy now I don't think

Still, even when/if they come out, it will take ages for a proper back to back test to happen so I'd say buy a set of normal ones and enjoy the use of them in the mean time

    • If you mean the alarm immobiliser; theyre internal to the alarm itself which makes that difficult; I couldnt even see where he put it; its not in the same place as last time; but with all black wiring it might be very challenging to trace  I had someone turn the key for me as I know it only primes for a couple of seconds As my post above; I am getting no voltage to the pump at all; but I am testing continuity of the power line (SB) from the pump plug to the relay fine. As well as the negative from the pump plug to a 12V constant.    Yeah; he blammed the no start on a bad battery; said I needed to get a new battery and it'll start. Turns out the battery drained because the tail lights had been on for half the day during the install (the rubber cushion on the brake switch gave out while he was testing it as I have a picture of the car from that morning with the tail lights off..i've replaced that). The battery was turning over the engine just fine for a long time; but got low since lights were draining it so it was too low to test a start after he finished. I bought a new one on his advice...$250 wasted. My original battery charged up just fine and is healthy.    It was running perfectly fine when I messed up the old alarm (programmed out the remotes). He couldnt start it after removing the old alarm; my assumption is that when he unhooked it; he didnt bridge the circuit back when trying to start it. Its always been perfectly fine. The ECU swap and pump were 2 years ago. It's never missed a beat in that time. 
    • This is a big issue for me without the diff. I just have zero drive from the passenger side when drivers side has no traction. Bec's parents place has a crazy steep driveway with odd camber and I have never been able to get up. My bro-in-law's 130i with an (unknown brand) LSD gets up fine as does their dad's Hiace. My car stays at the bottom. We have other odd camber roads around here as we're elevated a bit and if it's raining I can get totally stuck around some hairpins. 
    • Yeah, I am super excited for this.
    • Was the car running before he touched the car?
