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

    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
    • I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt 
    • So M12 and sealant should be fine?    NPT ” because that’s what I had and what I could get atm. 
    • Wouldn’t touch par if they gave it to me. You need to ask how much power you’re looking to make and then add about 50% to it because that’s what you’ll end up making  The factory box says no more at about 350kw or so, the upgraded synchro boxes won’t handle much over 500kw for long and at that point you’re looking at an auto or dog engagement manual,  once you’ve gone dog engagement you may as well go sequential, they cost a little bit more but it’s worth it  also while you’re at it you should upgrade the transfer case with 10 friction plates
