Input on turbo selection is really hard without any clear goals set out! Whats good HP? 500? 600? 1500?

This!

Precision are good! FP HTA are good! Plenty of options for you but we need to know goals if we are to give you any idea of choice....

Despite all my searching and provided info from threads I've tossed up between two turbos,a HKS T51R & Garret TO4Z which would you guys suggest?

Did you research?

Did you read the Precision thread? Did you read the HTA thread? Did you have a goal in mind or just wanna slap a turbo on and hope for the best?

Despite all the advice you have chosen to decide between two out dated over priced units not even being discussed so clearly you are in your own world and will do whatever anyway. Good luck, let us know what you get and how it goes.

I'm aiming for as much power as my forged engine will allow so was just looking at throwing one of the two at it a see what I get.precision is new to me so all I've managed to read about through mags and threads is how everyone uses garret or hks and get good power so haven't read up much on precision.

I think precision and hta are the new standards now if you can. From results I've seen these two brands are just win win over other turbos in all areas. That's only my personal opinion, and my choice is between the 2. I was going to go with Garrett gt40 but have now reconsidered.

Good luck though :)

:yes:

In saying that you cant beat the T51r whistle but turbo technology is certainly making a big difference these days!!!

The T04Z doesn't rate that great against most range Precision and HTA turbos in power and certainly not response. Precision and FP HTA turbos are there to make T51R power with much better response, or go well north of their power potential if you so require. Like well well past anything HKS make.

All you are doing by not thinking or researching is spending more money for less and saving a bit of time. All good if you are happy with that

I think I need to do a bit more digging I guess,sounds like this precision brand has better backing then expected and also seems to be well priced aswell so will do a bit more reading on specs tonight and rethink my decision.cheers for all the input guys great help.

    • Yeop... binned it   This will be a summary will not many pics atm and cbf  Fixed the samsonas - it was totally munched Put a new precision 7675 T4 on with proper split pulse mani Got to Sydney to get to car - drove to canberra to get racecar - drive back to sydney that night Next day all day at Plasmaman putting on new clamps cleaning some things up and adding another large engine oil cooler sitting at the rear above diffuser to keep things cooler Next day - Tuesday - on Dyno - killer wikid awesome pumped out really good numbers - more mid range and on lower boost levels Wednesday - first prac - all day again getting the suspension right - had to borrow front suspension again - out do a lap come in - out do a lap - in - what i had just couldnt handle the load at the more consistent higher speeds - got a lap in at the end of the day that was pretty reasonable  Put it this way that lap wouldve had me in 4th in Pro am for the whole event - with only 700 hp and used tyres Thurs first official prac day - lap out warm up - with above setting and 80% effort took corners 1,2,3 and into 4 car felt awesome -  rear came around out of nowhere bang into the wall near front on at whatever 140 kmph Done, over, gone Just one of those how did that happen apparently as all indications show nothing out of the ordinary Got to spend the rest of the time at the event like I hadnt done before - was actually Ok mainly as I had my family and my boy is 9 and got treated like a rockstar Long trip home, lost a trailer wheel in nowhere land, X5 airbag suspension gave up half way across nullabour and rode on bumps stops (its now completely fine) had to do a 19 hr drive day on day 3 as accommodation got screwed up so just had to keep driving till found a town with some Now to reassess - hopefully the motor and other things are OK but yet to be seen too. There is no easy fix there is no i'll just order that part and get it sent - we'll have a talk to people see what can happen and what the go is but at minimum its rebuild from scratch struts forward and alot of time effort and $ should and if I return and if but maybe/ when  I have the cage tied into the front strut towers - if I didnt have that things couldnt been worse you can say its just a front end but if you know what goes into these cars... you'll know what that actually means in reality   Car was very fast. Disappointing we just didnt get to show it Effort doesnt win you races though     Apparently this is motorsport !  
    • Thanks, will do that.  Thankfully they still feel great.
    • Yeah man, absolutely. You can try pushing me all the way in swapping the R34 for an E9x M3 
    • It's almost certainly going to be some amount of pads compound transfer onto the rotors. It will probably go away after you've run them for a bit. If not, pull it all out, lightly sand the rotors, scuff the pads, and rebed.
    • no one recommending speedtek gearsets?   i'm in the same boat as Cosline but rwd, I am holding boost back in third to 600nm at the hubs to save the gear as i make nearly 750nm at the hubs on a mainline
