I was looking at going the way dori34 has and while the sceptisim I came across scared me away, I'm impressed! What are the thoughts on the limits that sort of setup would have?

dori34, how much clearance have you got to the tower and engine mount?

as DORI33 stated a few pages back, his maxed out at around 300rwkw on stock manifold

Lots of space mate (i assume you mean gate mount?), if you want the same thing done and in Sydney/NSW, send BSA a pm. im sure he can organise shipping as well if you're interstate.

wtf our bays look almost identical dori, down to the way ive cut the standard heatsheilds, the matt black charge pipe and intake. only exception is for your gate pipe angle and coil pack colour. fwark even my user name is the same as urs.

haha freaky aye, put up pics of your engine bay & dyno sheet for comparison.

if we test and VCT still won't work then i will just hope the anti-surge front cover will :D

ID of wastegate pipe off the manifold is 44mm

Dori are u sure its a 44mm? The pipe Blake cut off the other day was around 38mm from memory. Ill measure it this arv

not the screamer pipe, the pipe off the manifold.

pretty sure he said it was 44mm? Blake would be able to confirm this.

the pipe he cut off is in my car btw, not at your garage lol

How does your haul on the road with foot flat dude? Hows the 'punch-in-seat' or kick / torque rush?

Seems like more of a Boostcruising question the way its worded.... The Dyno graph and video show exactly what its like, bolt one on and find out :P

Poor little kids trying to be cool..

Don't think you could describe either of them as 'poor little kids', unless you were referring to yourself?

Seriously though dude, you keep asking the same question over and over, "how's the torque kick". You keep getting the same response. I think it has been well established now that these Kando turbos are fun, and the Hypergear turbos are fun. Stop talking about how you're going to get a Kando and just get the damn turbo, how many more people do you want to tell you that they are good? Commitment issues...

Yesterday I SMS brainstormed with Jez about my own car. As usual, Jez sent simple responses. IE Kool. Sounds Good. Are you sure? Etc. Typical essay like responses common of the Jez-i.

By process of voicing my options I was able to get a brief second opinion and weigh up my options, enabling me to make my own decision. By the afternoon I ordered and paid for my Snow Performance WMI kit.

No I did not quickly conjur up the idea, nor did it come from Jez or someone else. I found what options I wanted to consider, talked facts and figures (kw/$$) and made a decision.

Rondofj, buy yourself some dignity and click 'commit to buy' on the turbo you want. You have already: thought (hard to believe IMHO)/voiced/planned/gained feedback/decided. Now BE A MEN and spend the TIRTEE FOR FIFTEE.

I vote that if Ron does not buy a Kando by the end of the week, we should ban him. :action-smiley-069:

Omg here he goes again with his typical essays which sometimes turn to trash... seriously did you ever get belted as a kid..??:domokun:

If that were an essay, I'd give it a solid B+. Nice intro followed through into a well written body, finished off with a 'slap-in-the-face' conclusion to drive home his point, that's good stuff. Lost some marks for spelling and grammar at the end there though :P

Sorry, I had to match the authenticity of a Curry/Gook based joke.

This post is not a troll :ph34r:

Seriously some of your posts do sound like coming from some 25 year old freckle faced kid whose grandparents got thrown off a convict ship ! !

25 year old. Grandparents got thrown off a convict ship. Scott, were your grandparents around in the 18th century to be thrown off a convict ship? They must have had children late if you are only 25!?

Ooooo, personal. Lucky I'm a 25 year old ethnic with no freckles.

Maybe that freckle faced kid's Grandparents (read ancestors) got 'thrown off' somewhere around the Philippines and have some thing to do with why your the way you are. Didn't they tell you about great uncle Stuart the bread thief? Apparently they 'loved him long time' ago.

Seriously dude, try to see the positive in my criticism. Hurry up and buy the damn turbo.

    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/  
    • Yeah dunno why johhny posted that here with no context, just post on FB/insta bro where he put it up?  Laine had an off at T4 during Thurs prac, he's ok, car is less than perfect, they are done for the weekend, he can fill in the rest. Bando also binned it like 100m up the road.
