The guy I got the turbo from is willing to buy me a new shaft. I just need to know the part number for the shaft. Does anyone have any idea?

If its gonna cost me another $200 - $300 to fix, ill pay that. I cant just throw $800 away(thats what it cost me). At the time we both had no idea the wheel was damaged.

Ive been in and driven my mates r33 rb25 with gt3082 .63 on 19psi and its nothing short of fkn wicked.. pulls hard cooks tyres .. 290rwkw. Enough said.

Is it internal or externally gated? Im guessing its external? You'd have a pretty hard time contolling boost with such a tight rear hsng and piddly internal gate.

I thought you already had an external gate ready to go? Whats sort of gate is it? Get someone to weld a flange to your stock manifold as pictured on the page previous...it will work if the gate is big enough...contrary to what Mr High Horse would have you believe, seems there are plenty of people out there that have made this turbo work, including a mate of mine who had the 0.63I/W on his series RB25, made 280rwkw on 18psi, only problem was he couldnt keep boost below 18-20psi...hence my post above...go the external if youre staying with the 0.63 hsng.

Ive got a 44mm tial. The guy I bought the turbo from is helping me organise a brand new one! He also said he will get me one with a .82 rear if I like. I will go with this option and keep it internal. With a bigger housing, the gate should be able to flow enough through to keep boost constant. If not, Ill get the actuator rod locked rather than the flap welded and have a secondary manifold with a WG flange as suggested previously.

    • Looking at it now the battery clamp needs some love..  LOL One day, but not tomorrow, tomorrow I'm strictly a spectator, the only testing for me tomorrow will be on the coffee and food at the Cafe
    • I purchased some (used but new to me) Yokohama A050 Mediums to try out for the first time and fitted them up to one of my sets of Rays TE Fortesst's. Sizes are 235/45R17 front and 255/40R17 rear. They are very chonky compared to the same sized AD09 on the same sized rim. Some fiddling will be needed to make them fit. How much camber do these like as a general rule? I imagine more than the rear camber of -1.5' I typically run. So my plan is to target -3.8 front and -2 rear
    • If you want to test it under temperature, I think you should enter the One Raceway day tomorrow with Duncan!
