Awesome. I found a HPI combo dump and front pipe for $650 which is a 2.75" out dump to 3" front pipe. Reasonable?

I've just heard the stock system can choke and strain the standard turbo and after time it'll fail(myth?)Would like to avoid a blown turbo atleast until I decide to do the MR turbo..

Apparently yeh.. The stocker can hit 220. Unaware of whether its a ceramic wheel though.

Ill still be keeping it stock. Just a bit worried as its cheaper to do an exhaust, then getting bits of turbo out of your engine if it blows

Yeah I would avoid the combo ones if they are one piece, my mate got a MAP 1 piece and its a pain in the arse to take off and put on

I'd get two separate pieces myself

do you even need to do the MR turbo

aparently the stocker can hit 220 odd

yeah that's at its max, the MR only has a larger turbine housing and the 9 has larger comp and turbine housing

Not ceramic, and won't really damage anything but you will notice a lot more response mostly from upgrading them, as well as power

8MR turbos are cheap, I picked one up for $350 delivered from the US

Yeh was trying real hard to justify it lol.

Nah the combo was a two piece that deletes the need for that gay spring setup on the dump. Looked fairly cheap for what it is. I think making up a custom dump would be too hard. But I'd rather leave this turbs on for a long while.. If I upgrade the turbo it will only be if I build the motor, and it will be a gt30 lol

Oh yeah. The spring thing isn't so bad though, will never leak with how tight it always stays

If you can find a cheap mr turbo for time being, chuck it on when you do dump front. Will have so much more fun

Speak to that Frank guy on TC, he seems to know Hondas. Always says you can't go wrong with 08 onwards for the blades

Doesn't sound like a very good price...

Tell me you didn't buy CF mirrors for the bike you're trying to get rid of...

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
