looks good but no toll roads for me but we can work out some other way to avoid using them ...either way should be good

Easiest route would be to go straight up Springvale rd and join up with Whitehorse Road/Maroondah Hwy. Can pull up in the service road if we get seperated. +1 vote for Marysville.

yeh thats what i was going to say at the meet up

what cant you get your car tuned or did you break it was looking forward to having a look at it

as per the 'What have you done to your stagea today' thread.. he blew up his turbo AGAIN domokun.gif

Front bearing seized I would say, snapped the shaft, all at 8 psi. lol.

I will get it going for you Aaron, dont like seeing a grown man cry. :laugh: Just ride with me if it isn't running mate.

Couldnt make it to todays cruise, just too early for me. :ninja:

if the turbo failed at only 8psi and its been highflowed should there be some way they will fix it as it should not fail with minimal boost...send it back to them to see if it was a build fault

what scott said. shaft snapped in the centre. bearing seized the compressor wheel. all at 8psi, and at 2k revs.

The guy who built it has had a look and is covering it for warranty.

but the housing is getting machine and stage 2 sierra racing comp wheels are going in back and front, and reverting to bush core as theres less hassles than a custom BB Core(unless garret core)

Yeh scott im not pushing you dude. but your helping heaps! thanks man!

    • Before all the EFR fan boys come in, have a look at: https://www.garrettmotion.com/racing-and-performance/performance-catalog/turbo/g-series-ii-g30-825-58mm/ It also comes in a T4 1.06 divided housing. I would dare say if you want response & also decent power, this thing would chop.   AND apologies, just re-read your post, you've already bought the turbo... whatever you do, make sure you stick with divided housing and proper twin scroll manifold.
    • People have got to stop doing that. ShatGPT is not a search engine. It is a hallucination factory.   I also would recommend the 1.05. The .83 will "work" for you , in that it will be more responsive, but I think you'll find that it won't be anywhere near as good running it out to 8000rpm as the big housing will be.
    • Decided for the first time ever I would tow my car TO the track day on the same working theory as bringing tools and spares "if I have it I wont need it, but if I leave it behind i will 100% need it" all setup and ready to go out and try these A050 for the first time First session showed I needed to stiffen up the dampers a touch but still managed a few 1:21's without much effort. things were looking good. Came in a dropped the tyres down  to 26/28 as they had gotten to 35/33C from 22C cold The first lap of session two I managed to drop into 1:20's. Then in the second lap into the second session. Coming into T3 and I suddenly lost brake pedal followed by some huge rear end vibrations and scraping sounds. Got it back into the pits after session ended and found this. in the attached video, all of the wobble is in the hub its self, wheel is mint, and bearing feels tight. lKXLqpd - Imgur.mp4   Deciding it was a bent spindle I tried to find bearing/hub assembly locally but was unsuccessful so it was loaded back onto the trailer i luckily brought it on to drag it back home  
    • 1.05 you’ve gotta let it breath 
    • You have to continuously fill it to avoid dry running. Personally the transmissions I've serviced have never been bad enough to justify doing this because it is definitely a pretty complicated and somewhat risky procedure compared to simply draining the pan, measuring what came out, then refilling with the exact same amount.
