Sounds about right, what triggered me to say that was the statement that Kandos are 1/3rd of the price of comparable products and while they are cheaper they are most definitely not 1/3rd. After paying attention for a while I'd feel much more comfortable getting a genuine Borg Warner, Garrett, Precision or Turbonetics turbo and get something long time proven and supported for possibly slightly more outlay.

my decision is based on the item itself more than the price or customer service.

the L2 20g is a good balance for the little SR in my eyes, and I dont think I will get the drivability I want from the PT (5558).

Jez is tuning a SR w/5558 this week so im keen to see how that turns out........... but im doubtful it will show me what i want to see.

Just make sure everything is working mint before you go... I think Sean is going to kill me if another car with a Kinugawa turbo comes in for a tune half put together and not working properly.

Actually I need my car tuned as well, might try and blackmail him into doing mine next week

Of course, I wouldn't have booked it in otherwise. I can understand Seans frustration over that.

Is that just in general, or did he mention my car specifically?

He did my run-in tune without any major drama's. There were a couple of minor unforseeable issues, like the thermo's suddenly deciding they didn't want to switch on anymore, or my spark plugs crapping out even though they were relatively new platinums.

Only things that I have changed since he last saw it, are that the fans are being switched on via the ECU now, and boost controlled by a MAC valve via ECU (As per his suggestion).

Interesting, but that is an old T3/T4 based turbo with a fancy compressor wheel is it not?

I thought the 5558 was something special in terms of being all new gen wheels and what not..

My aim is sub 300kw with as much area under the curve as possible, while sticking to a sensible rev limit (thus the decision to go 256/256 poncams).

I might need to look into these smaller PT's now i guess.

Hahahha in that case Sean is going to hate me in the morning hahahahahah

G'Day Kando Klan, I just ordered a 40mm Turbosmart gate (with 18psi spring) from the US, now need to order my kando - would love 300rwkw and the T67-25G (R34 GTT NEO) but it will be a low mount on stock manifold with cross-over cooler pipes, fully street-setup, hence going the TD06SL2-20G 10cm.

Is this the one I should order:

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Kinugawa-Turbocharger-3-Non-AntiSurge-TD06SL2-20G-w-T3-10cm-V-Band-Housing-/290745401163?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item43b1c6bf4b

I know this will be very lucky/stretched to make 280rwkw on 98, but theres no other option for a hard-pulling stock setup, from my limited knowledge.. :wacko:

Way too big, I just finished a 6boost/T67 combo for Josh and it barely fit between the rocker cover and the strut tower. The hot side cooler pipes had very tight bends as the comp cover outlet had to point straight down.

That link I posted for the TD06SL2-20G T3/10cm/V Band/No anti surge is the correct/ favorite one? Need to order.. Dont know if I went too big in spring choice for my 40mm compgate - 18psi..

http://www.ebay.com....=item43b1c6bf4b

Plan is to get tired of the td06-20G in two years, get a top mount mani, relocate cross-over pipes, modify/extend dump n plumb-back and order T67-25G comp cover and CHRA -noting the rear housing is same as the SL2-20G.

That is the correct one, and you will be able to do what you are suggesting, with some manipulation of the gate pipe.

18psi spring will probably be OK, might not need a boost controller haha.

hopefully the gate comes with 2 springs, so you can remove one for the tune and then pop it back in for its final run.

You obviously don't k ow how much I have had to spend on fabrication do you Ron..

Yes the Gtx would have been a few hundred more, bit the setup would be much simpler so I wouldn't be relying on alot of welding..and it makes more power..win Win :)

    • Pressure when IDLING, is meant to be 51PSi... So that amperage value needs to go up a fair chunk... I'd personally be factoring for more like 12amp at least on those runs, and at that point you need to hope the already there wiring doesn't drop you a volt or two, as that's a lot of fuel pressure flow drop off from 13.5 to 12V! Taking idle pressure of 51psi, means the pump will be drawing a MINIMUM of 9amps all the time based on your reading of the graph (3bar base, then allowing an extra 0.5bar for boost = roughly 51psi)
    • Hi all,  I am in the market for an R200 longnose diff out of a Z31 300ZX, or S12 RSX, DR30 skyline, or similar, in a 3.9 ratio.  Preferably a late model one with the M12 crownwheel bolts.  The only easy to find advert for one of these was my ad back in 2007 when I sold it on this forum.  I sold the diff as I had sold the car it goes to, but as it turns out, after 18 years I got the car back late last year, so now I'm looking for the diff !  If anyone knows where to find a longnose R200 LSD with the M12 crownwheel bolts, drop me a line at [email protected] - Bonus paid if soomeone comes up with the original diff (stranger things have happened !).  Cheers   Ben D    
    • Hi everyone, I used to post here a bit from 2004-2013, when I owned various Nissans, in particular my S12 RSX gazelle, which was sold in 2007.  As luck would have it, after an 18 year hiatus, the car found its way back to me last year, and over the past 11 months I have had the pleasure of restoring it with my kids.  One thing that I am after in particular is a 3.9 ratio R200 LSD for it.  I actually sold the one out of the car here back in 2007 , and it would be incredible if I could track down who I sold it to, so I can see how they have progressed over the years (and to be honest, to see whether I can get the diff back !).  Anyways, hi all and let me know "where are the R200 Longnose diffs all at these days ?  Cheers Ben D  
    • Arms will be the same as the G35 or 350Z, but as above, there was a change in the lower control arm where it connects to the ball joint.  That said, you can remove the ball joint cone from your old ball joints and fit them to the new ball joints.  To be honest, I didn't think the ball joints themselves were different. The main ball joint is a bit awkward to replace, you really need to remove the steering knuckle to press out the old one.  Some people have used tools to remove it in place, but it just seemed too hard to get to. If you are going to press out/in that ball joint, then you may as well just replace the bushings in the LCA and the compression rod.  You can buy the compression rod bushing from Nissan, but the LCA bushes, you will need to go aftermarket. Much cheaper than buying the whole arm.
    • Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
