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

    • Impossible to remove the housing while turbo is installed on the manifold on the engine. So I have to do it anyways. I plugged it so there will not be any debris in there. Will vacuum aswell 
    • would a r34 gtr hood line up with gt/gtt stock fenders? after latch, front bumper and hinges are swapped for gtr ones? or would the fenders be too low or high in relation to the hood surface? ( I believe seeing somewhere that gtr front fenders use some type of riser for the sides, but do not know how that relates to stock gt/gtt fenders.)    
    • 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
