Question for Trent (STATUS):

Do you believe the example shown for the 2871 vs L2 10cm to be acceptable as a 'rule of thumb' expectation?

The results you gave showed the L2 was just as responsive as a 2871 (am asuming .64 rear) and when the 2871 capped off at 250kw the L2 kept going to 300....

Am tossing up if I can expect the same from my own basic SR setup if I was to do a T3 10cm L2-20g with a decent manifold and gate.. The 2871 isnt too laggy when setup right (IMHO) but I am scared of how horrid a 10cm 20g might be on a stock SR.

Input would be highly appreciated :)

can you post a link the comparos? i get hit in the head alot cant recal that comparo :P

you do realise that if u get a ext gate kando turbo, factor in cost of gate/modding etc still ends up being cheaper then a hypergear.

More or less the same mate, depends if u got a great fabricator who is not going to rip you off? Who did yours? I also need to mod my dump flange from bellmouth to circular v-band - don't know if its possible/works great.

Or just sell your bellmouth dump pipe and get a completely new custom dump pipe made? I dunno about over there, but the best in the business here did mine for 350 bucks. You could easily sell your JJR dump for $200ish and then it's only gonna cost you another 150 or so and you have a dump pipe that is most likely going to work a lot better than a modified JJR one.

Unless you're worried about potential defects, I don't see why you're so against going external gate when it's plain and simple better and it's going to cost a bucket load to do.

The reason being I do not wana leave my car at any shop for more than a day ( I know it can be done in a day by a gun fabricator/mech/welder) and as you said above, the cost implications, but it shouldn't be expensive for some bits of welding and fiddling around... As for selling my jjr dump for $200, I bought it for $179 brand new lol......... And no defects mate, I'm not into screamers, plumb back's for me.

A little bit off topic but... Does anyone know if plumbed back external gates are legal in qld? Im guessing they are to a degree until the transport department pull you over?

I always thought external gates are legal anywhere as long as they are plumbed-back and dont dump poisonous exhaust gas into the environment

and dont dump poisonous exhaust gas into the environment

...as opposed to the good old sweet smelling exhaust gas coming out of the rear of the car.

I am pretty sure the fuzz will take a dim view of a big ol external gate sticking up if they see it.

No they aren't legal, mainly because any turbo other than stock isn't legal without an emissions test.

So I tOok the intake pipe off today cause I thoUght it was leaking air from the silicon hose cause I can hear a slight whistle/howl on boost, but I double checked all hose clamps on the turbo side and all hoses are on properly. I think it may be the turbo causing the very faint whistle/howl sound on boost an when backing off in gear the sooubd decreases with the revs.

I also noticed there was a bit of shaft play (left and right and back and forth) on the comp wheel as well.

Anyone else have some play on theirs?

BSA assured me he's had a bit too but i may just be a paranoid milkshake since I can hear it whistling/howling which leads me to believe it may be the turbos fault.

Any ideas guys?

    • Working through possible solutions of converting my mechanical speedo.    Anyone know what type of speedo sensor the factory r34 gtr getrag has ? what the output is ? I assume its not a VSS and more a voltage like earlier speedo sensors ? Can an ECU read it ?  
    • roof rail delete used to be a thing, they were made locally for a while too
    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
