shit..

im making 20psi by ~5000rpm..

thats with e85, poncams and stempipe manifold

Wtf??? That's shit as. Way too late for a 3076. I got a stock ported manifold and stock cams (have a cam gear only) and is internally gated.

Just looked at your boost line and looks lazy. What controller you using? Or just off the external gate

Hi there,

From what you write about your high-flowed turbo I would buy immediately buy it, since it sounds like lots

of low down grunt and fun :) Who made this unit???

I have this nice boost controller, it has 3 settings .. 'off' 'low' 'high' ... wouldn't that help to tame the unit?

Anyhow, the car is used as anything from grocery getter to daily driver (though not as a commuter)

From time to time for the drag strip, but not on a 'professional basis'

My insurance policy states 'recreational use' and that's the truth ..

I wouldn't want too much downtime with the turbo upgrade, and I have a good mechanic at hand who

does very good work (but only at weekends)

Here in the UK there's is quite some backfround noise with High Flowed Turbos, usually you get no 'hard data' on these.

'They' just state 'stage1' or 'stage2' and that's something I wouldn't buy especially when being quite pricy...

I had a recommendation for a HKS28xx kit .. but that was very pricey ...

Cheers from London,

Andrew

I had a hiflow at 250rwkw and it was sometimes pretty hard to drive. Made heaps of boost and came on hard way too early in the rev range. On wet days if you tried to accelerate in 4th from say 70 to 100km/h you'd get wheel spin all the time. Fun but a real PITA, you couldn't always count on controlling it. Not saying all hiflows are like this, but mine was.

Stopping at uphill sets of traffic lights on wet days - just thinking about it used to make me break out in cold sweats. I'd plan my route to avoid having to go through them.

I went to a 3076 with external gate and WMI at 300rwkw and its a totally better vehicle all round. Good reliable steady progressive power. Transformed the car, made it a damn sight easier to live with. So its not called lag, its called control to me!!!

But buying and installing such a turbo takes more effort and $$$$ than one that bolts up to the std dumps etc. It really depends on your end goals and what you want to do with the car long term. Also - if you buy say a hypergear hiflow as an interim step - how easy would it be to resell later and get your $$$ back when you decide to up size??? Simple things like this can help make your build more progressive and easier on the bank account.

Too much boost early in the rev range. WTF? Never heard that before. You should drive a 6L Supercharged V8. That's low down power. You need to learn some right foot control. Throttle isn't an on/off switch.

Hi there,

I still would like to know who made this high flowed unit???

Cheers from London :)

It was hiflowed by GCG in Sydney, not sure if it was a completely std turbo to start with, it came on the car. From memory it went from 50/7? to 56/76 but I could be wrong there, I gave all the paperwork to the person who bought it off me. I also had other mods that allowed the 250rwkw to be made [fmic, pfc, tomei cams, dump, exhaust, hiflow cat, z32, etc etc]. But as I said I didn't like its power delivery, was not as progressive.

The 3076 makes 50kw more power but has a much better power delivery and more of it [in the rev range] where you need it.

If I was you I'd send Stao from Hypergear a PM and get one of his units, only ever heard good things about his product.

Yeah ... I will send him a PM, he seems to have lots of experience and also documents his results well.

There's an inner voice that says 'go high mount, go high mount'. ;) But that would involve too much downtime (but would be quite sexy)

Many thanks ...

      Did tie rods. Steering now not "springing" back.

      Yep, there's a very minor drift left that happens a few seconds after letting go of the steering wheel, but not enough to bother me. Enjoying the car still!

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      Sounds good.  I don't 100% understand what your getting at here. When you say, "I keep seeing YouTube videos where people have new paint and primer land on the old clearcoat that isn't even dulled down" do you mean this - there is a panel with factory paint, without any prep work, they paint the entire panel with primer, then colour then clear?  If that's what you mean, sure it will "stick" for a year, 2 years, maybe 3 years? Who knows. But at some stage it will flake off and when it does it's going to come off in huge chunks and look horrific.  Of course read your technical data sheet for your paint, but generally speaking, you can apply primer to a scuffed/prepped clear coat. Generally speaking, I wouldn't do this. I would scuff/prep the clear and then lay colour then clear. Adding the primer to these steps just adds cost and time. It will stick to the clear coat provided it has been appropriately scuffed/prepped first.  When you say, "but the new paint is landing on the old clearcoat" I am imagining someone not masking up the car and just letting overspray go wherever it wants. Surely this isn't what you mean?  So I'll assume the following scenario - there is a small scratch. The person manages to somehow fill the scratch and now has a perfectly flat surface. They then spray colour and clear over this small masked off section of the car. Is this what you mean? If this is the case, yes the new paint will eventually flake off in X number of years time.  The easy solution is to scuff/prep all of the paint that hasn't been masked off in the repair area then lay the paint.  So you want to prep the surface, lay primer, then lay filler, then lay primer, then colour, then clear?  Life seems so much simpler if you prep, fill, primer, colour then clear.  There are very few reasons to go to bare metal. Chasing rust is a good example of why you'd go to bare metal.  A simple dent, there is no way in hell I'm going to bare metal for that repair. I've got enough on my plate without creating extra work for myself lol.
