The fluids will be flowing my friend if this is the case :)

How about you? Your phillip island times are already making the evolution owners quiver :P

Lol no ones quivering unless your from tassie. Our aim is a 1.29-1.31 and not blow anything up. We will be there on wed that week to do some testing as the cars never been on that track and may only achieve 2.00 flat.

Your car is now a monster, 1.35 and under for sure.

Agree.

What was your time at PI? On Semi's?

Your build thread was cool, your car has come a long way.

Thanks mate, Ive been looking at your the last few days and taking a bit of inspiration :) mine is just a (very) budget build though. Its still in the motorsport build forum, i just haven’t done much lately

Agree.

never used semis with the 2.8lt engine, only used slicks. I have spoken to people that have used slicks and advan Ao50's and they say there's nothing in it, one said that the Ao50 was slightly faster but until we try it ourselves i am unsure of this. Was looking forward to seeing your car this year too.

Yeah. Was it a 39 or something on slicks? If so that's damn quick. I was hoping to have a good crack at winton and PI this year on a very limited racing budget. Was aiming for a 29 at Winton and a 41 at PI. Haven't been back to PI since I blew and engine 2 weeks before WTAC 2012. Unfortunately won't be doing much this year now. My mate stacked my car 2 weekends ago at a motorkhana and busted up the front bar and oil cooler and all the front splitter supports were on the bar. Not worth re-doing that setup and I'm using it as an excuse to upgrade the whole new front splitter/diffuser and new front bar which will take a while to develop. Will have to be next year now.

1.36.7 on Pirelli 305 slicks. Not good to hear what your mate did, hopefully he's paying for it. What front bar do you think you will use instead?

1:36.7. That's impressive mate. What sump are you running? I am having oil surge problems in mine now that it has so much lateral grip. I've got a baffled sump but it's still not cutting it. I've only done a 45 or something at PI but that was lifting on the straights due to noise restrictions and I still got booted off after the 1st session. In reality it should have been a 43 or so. Really need to get back there!

Yeah he's a good mate and has worked on my car for years to get me to WTAC etc so he'll be helping me pay for it plus do the work as well. Not a lot of options for decent looking front bars.

This page has a lot of options but not really sold on any of them yet. Pretty hard to beat the look of the stock bar in my opinion.

I see yours is a tommy kiarra? Where did you get that from?

I need a 'swoopy' style bar as the stock bar isn't deep enough to have any room for a diffuser. I want to do a big diffuser if I can. My old one was just flat and is limited to how much down force it can generate.

Had larger pan with baffles and accumulator prior but had oil surge in 2 corners so updating to a dry sump set up that the guys are making up. I believe my bar is a trust copy from carmods Australia, gives good room to put oil coolers behind the bar. some good bars to choose from on your link, I liked em. Send me a pm when your headed back out to the island good to see your car in action.

    • Intake manifold is not a part of the issue. The turbo bolts to the exhaust manifold. That is easy. But close your eyes and picture the physical situation. That is a T3 flange on the manifold and a T3 flange on the turbo. As long as any new turbo has a T3 flange on the exhaust housing, that exhaust housing will bolt to the exhaust manifold. This places the exhaust housing in the same place as the stock one. But now move your mental attention a little further forward. The location of the compressor housing is set by the length of the turbo's core. The stock turbo had a long core. Let's say that it is..... 100mm long. So that would place the compressor housing 100mm forward of the exhaust housing. But a highflow, might well have a centre core that is shorter. Let's say that it is only 70mm long. Now the compressor housing will be 30mm further back in the engine bay than the stock one. This DOES move the turbo's compressor outlet backwards. It also moves the compressor's inlet backwards. You will very likely have to do some work to both the inlet and outlet piping to make everything connect again. I am not say this to make it out to be a bigger deal than it is. I am just pointing out that "bolt on" is sometimes not quite bolt on. The highflow from GCG that Murray linked above (https://gcg.com.au/turbo-charger-upgrade-skyline-gtst-2iu-xtrgts-s1.html ) uses a core that is the same length as the stock core, and so does not require this extra work. It will look very much like the stock turbo. No-one uses GTR turbos of any flavour (stock, or aftermarket) in a single turbo application on RB20/25. It's not a thing. Yes, people have been putting on GT3076, GTX3076 (and bigger and smaller versions of those) and G30s (of various sizes) onto RB20/25 since forever. But these are not "bolt on". Everything except the 4 bolts to the exhaust manifold change with these. And genuine Garretts are expensive. Non-gen, like Pulsar, etc, are cheaper, variously as good or nearly as good. But still not bolt on. No-one in the right mind would pay for an HKS turbo. Not in this modern day and age. Well, yes, the GCG highflow. You could ask HG what he can do to make the compressor housing sit in the original location. There are surely others doing highflows around the world. And some of the eBay/Temu ones (as reported by Dose) work and don't die. Bit of a lottery though. I would send your turbo to GCG (here in Oz) to be highflowed if you want a trivial no-extra-work option. But seriously, the work required to change inlet and outlet piping is not that hard. That's a boost control problem, not a turbo problem.
    • Thank you all for the replys 🙂 I know that intake would be different but that is one pipe at it is not that hard to get(custom one). I meant mainly bolt to the stock manifold and the turbo elbow. I looked and many sites/forums but they are just "old" with some old HKS turbos from GT-R i guess? What about some Garrets?  Or any other turbo? Is there even a turbo which i can just bolt on? 😄 And yeah i know about that new HKS but that is like 2000k USD without taxes/shipping in here   Iam getting a touch up tune but my "problem" is that on the "not" hot day iam getting peaks around 0,9 bar...and when it was around 15 Celsious i saw peak around 1 bar which is just too much for stock turbo. And of course turbo is old and i like to get some new one for a piece of mind 🙂 
    • I'm working on the assumption that our friend Jasmine here is a Russian (or, possibly Ukrainian) spammer/spambot, based purely on the number of such that I have been having to neuter in the last few weeks. IP address for the OP above was in WA. But that could have been via VPN. Posting at quarter to 4 in the morning is a good sign of being from somewhere in Europe. The last Jasmine that I kicked in the cooch was IP addressed in Ukraine. Even that could have been via VPN, and the bitchbot could have been from Russia, Serbia, China or anywhere. Regardless, was a spambot, so I killed it with fire. The fact that our new friend Jasmine here did not respond in any way to my tart query strongly suggests to me that this OP was just the establishment phase of a user able to be activated for spamming in a week, or 3 or 10.
    • The stock manifold is "mostly" divided. The divider actually has a notch cut out of it where it would meet the divider on a twin scroll housing. I have no idea why. But whatever the reason, it would cause some cross talk when used with a twin scroll housing. People do put twin scroll housings onto that manifold. But I'm of the opinion that proper twin scroll internal gating is...not really possible at this scale. You'd be throwing good effort (ie $$) after bad, when you really should be doing something else. Notwithstanding that.... I am not sure what the idea that you are floating has to do with the difference in comp cover position caused by the highflow using a shorter length core than the stock Hitachi one. Can you clarify what you meant?
