I dont believe they are.... However its worth a check just incase, i think the body shapes are different which means the flanges wont line up :(

Well they look quite similar in shape:

Comp%20Gate%2040.jpg

Tial%2044mm.jpg

But I doubt a 44mm gate will fit onto a 40mm v-band? My setup is also relatively tight, so I doubt a 44mm gate setup will fit. Also might not be a good idea to get the tune done using a 44mm when I plan on using a 40mm, not sure how much it would affect flow and efficiency, but possibly a fair bit. Thanks though mate!

My tial mvs 44mm is smaller then a normal tial 44mm. So maybe able to try one of them? Could turbosmart email you the specs of the sleeve and get one machined locally?

Yehhh they won't, they want the money themselves which is understandable.

Just had a real good look around the shed and it's no where to be found, so now the quest begins to find one I can borrow this week! :/

I think its only the diaphragm bit thats different, the body still looks similar man!

Good luck mate, i hope you find one!

Updates in here hanaldo

He hasn't got a leg to stand on :P

No really, both the car and him were undergoing work yesterday so updates may take a day or two, hope it's good news on both accounts :D

Haha will hopefully update later today lads, surgery went well but unfortunately I won't be able to drive for a few days :( talk about a tease!? trying to sort out a couple of mates to drive me in and drive the car home. Sort of have to, tuner doesn't have space to hold on to it :/

Glad to hear it went well mate :D When is it going on the dyno? Yesterday? Today? Dont hold us in suspense for too long :P

Haha oh I thought you'd seen the Hypergear thread. The car is all done, it was the only car my tuner had to tune yesterday. He texted me this last night:

"Car went OK. Didnt ooze hp unfortunately. It doesn't like boost at all. It appears there is a restriction at around 340 or 350 hp. After that it doesn't make good hp. 20 psi is hardly any more powerful than 16 or 17 psi which indicates a flow restriction or bad intercooler that has pressure restriction. It went about 350 at 18 psi but went almost the same hp at 16 psi. Needs pipework fixed up. Blew 2 pipes off. Base timing was 10 degrees out. Very hard work."

So it's not perfect. But it's my car, so it was never going to run smoothly. I am just happy it made it off the dyno in one piece and didn't commit suicide again :glare: anyway, for now I'm happy. I now intend to hammer the thing at Powercruise, drive it and enjoy it for a bit, and then see what needs doing.

Just gonna copy/paste from the Hypergear thread, cos I'm lazy :P

So here's my graph:

308158_10151035475112541_1218309130_n.jpg

Red line is high boost setting at 18psi, blue line is low boost setting at 16psi with the gain set more conservatively to bring it on slower. You can see there isn't a lot of difference in the power output between the two settings. Compared to the previous tune at Allstar, I have picked up almost 1500rpm of response though. Full boost used to be at almost 5500rpm; now it's at about 4100rpm. So it's a totally different beast. This is even more responsive than my old G2 used to be, so the new setup is doing something right.

Still can't drive it myself though, stupid pain medication :(

And here is the video I posted in there as well:

Glad to hear its back on the road and running!

Sounds like there could be some more left in it with some further tweaks, but probably best to just enjoy it for a while for now :thumbsup:

How did you find Garage 101 overall? Hopefully not too much longer until I can speak to them about tuning my car.

Highly recommend them dude. Danny was great, very very helpful. He didn't come across as just being interested in making more money, he seemed like he genuinely WANTS to tune my car. Walked me through everything he did, couldn't get hold of me while I was in hospital so he texted me instead, gave me a list of things he thinks might be causing the restriction and where to start, etc. Whole thing only cost me $715 as well, $550 for the tune (complete retune, he didn't use any of Allstar's settings) and he needed to weld some pipes for me, etc.

Awesome, can't wait to get mine done :)

Bit of the first cruise session from Powercruise yesterday:

Mate who filmed this has a video on his phone of the second cruise session with SimonR32 walking all over me :P will get it from him.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
