The Fmic that I have has press bends on the piping.

It isn't like bad press bends it is hardly noticible.

If I'm KW chasing do you think it is worth buying 4 90 degree bend mandrels (3 on inlet, 2 on outlet)?

Or would this only help with boost response and lag?

Lag is hardly noticible now with the EBC but it is still there..

I had a look at some of those silicon bends and i think this smiley says it all

:eek::eek: :eek: :eek:

hehe yer..

Turbo fund that keeps getting spent on other things.. :)

Almost had all of the money then i went and upgraded the comp now i'm getting close again and i'm starting to think about suspension.

I'm waiting from a few ppls on a $$ for the GT25 400hp..

Actually on that topic i went to Turbo Tune in Adelaide and they seem to think the GT25 400HP will flow enough to make a good 180rwkw.. I said what.. 180rwkw.. I want more than that.

hrmm.. All i want is to be able to overpower grip in second gear any time.. :burnout: :burnout: :burnout: :burnout:

Same... I'd like to nudge over the 200rwkw mark and POssibly be able to run high 12's with a lowish tyre pressure if need be using the 225'50's.

The Simex that I run at the moment give unbelievable grip.

First gear hardly spins up.. but if i click second a little to quick she still tries to snaky second.

I might be pushing it though I figure that if whatsisname can run 13.1 1/4 2.1 60ft using 216rwkw I should be able to do it with a slightly better 60ft time and a little less power due to less weight.

I hope.

I thought a little about a VG30 turbo as that can get damn close to 200rwkw with adj. cam gears etc BUT.. Reliability of the turbo comes to mind as at the moment I can't afford to waste 500 on a turbo that blows up later on down the track.

Also everywhere i go they say to inspect the turbo as if it is a dud they wont exhange/return it. :) That is the Killer..

I need the turbo to have no problems as I'm going to uni for the next couple of years.. I defered this year...

Tim has suggested that the GT25 that he is able to get which is $1400 will just make 200rwkw with it running out of breath a little up top. but 200rwkw is 200rwkw.

I've got him looking in to a slightly bigger gt25 which should make just over 200rwkw which then i will be happy.. well on paper at least :D

Your Avtar looks nice..

Its a very nice looking 32 Adam.. :)

I'm waiting to see how Clint32's Turns out. :)

Hopefully he doesn't take tooooo long :D

The T04e is an option apart from the fact of having to buy a wastegate etc.. which bumps the price closer and closer to a new turbo that bolts on with an adapter plate..

hrmm.. If it turns out good though i might look at it.

also how have you got 100 more posts than my self.

I log on every day post like crazy (don't post whore but) and still 100 behind you.. :)

    • Yeah, plenty of air flow, there is a dedicated path that feeds the air in to the OEM intake tube behind the bumper As for a "tangible effect", maybe, but getting the pod/intake air out of the hot engine bay is worth it psychologically to me, even if it gives no performance difference, so the tangible effect in my Lizard brain saysss yessss  In the end, to me a tangible effect isn't always about performance, sometimes it a sound or a look, or even a...... feeling  Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga
    • yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching
    • Quite right, if you make it to that pension you deserve every cent
    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
