"Here is the upgrade solution for GTR owners. Stock frame units from 850hp to 1250hp, stock compressor cover and stock turbine housing. Fitting our 11blade billet or titanium compressor wheels, ball bearing CHRAs and bigger turbine wheels from Inconel or Titanium. Many combos. Technology meets quality"

Huge thread on another forum about these guys, a lot of impressive claims but not many (or any) independant people running their hardware to back up some of the insane claims of the quality of their products. One of the top American Honda tuners put one of Extreme's "ultra efficient" turbos onto their drag Civic - tuned it, and then moved on to a Precision turbo within weeks... so until (or if) more of their product proves itself in the market I'm taking it with a grain of salt.

i took codral flu tablets yesterday on an empty stomach. the pain was unbearable.

im fairly sure my turd a few hours later had in excess of 1250hp behind it.

dude! wtf do you think you are doing? It clearly states on the medication not to take them on an empty stomach. Geez!

If I order right now do I get the free Ginsu Knives?

Looks like VQ rather than RB twins being IHI...

Pretty much sums up the typically wild claims of most of these ventures.

Just tell em kon Artistopoulos sent you

Care to elaborate what the actual point of the thread is?

Are you asking if they are decent or trying to promote a business?

They have built some pretty cool stuff, and like to try and push the boundries - or say they are, but there have been a few cases where not all has turned out to be as fancy (on their behalf) as they made out. One of the funnier examples was when they were talking about "their" neat cams, pistons, and custom 4G63 billet blocks etc - and posted a pic straight from Billet AU's website of a billet SR20 block :D

All the while I find it funny because they're speaking Greek on the fb page.

Never take a Greek mechanics word for anything. Except mine, coz im just an e mechanic which makes it all better.

lesson learnt re 1250hp codral.

Well talking about dragging back one from the dead

Ive always watched what Spyros did with great amazement, its a tough one.

He def proved the yanks wrong with his shop/parts/evo etc who said he was completely fos but his social media, lack of engagement and bold claims without much proof leaves people scratching their head.

Im gonna go out on a limb and say he's the real deal though but he talks it up a bit

for eg his fb page going back 9 yrs is filled with amazing stuff, iirc he's a former mclaren f1 engineer - his shop is def getting orders that much is obv with the cool stuff it makes

His turbos from 6-7 years ago look more efficient thinner much more complex to machine than the GT series let alone the equivalent GTX series of the day.

Look how his blades are bent and curved from the center to the outer. look at a GT and GTX and now G-series how they moved more towards this shape over the years, the same shape you now see in Rolls Royce Trent engine on a 777 or 787 - compare that with a T88-33d for eg

Billet Vr38 heads 7yrs ago
His claims are quite extraordinary but so are the gorgeous pieces he's made for eg the rods, pistons turbos cranks etc
He's the only person i can find that makes billet Tungsten alloy crankshafts DLC coated the same as F1 and he just happens to make a short stroke one for an RB26 that he claims is good for 12,000rpm

His claims for his lambo turbo kits are outrageous, Aventador 1000whp on 2.75psi on stock fuel system

13.8:1 cr v10 understroked 5l claiming it can make 5000hp lol - i think this is where he loses people
image.thumb.png.9ab125061b706354c803d01ae27da851.pngor is he just way ahead of the game

its a shame he only posts once every 4-5yrsimage.thumb.png.9ab125061b706354c803d01ae27da851.png
 

 



If i had the money id take the plunge on his RB stroker and full CF turbos

    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
    • I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
