Congrat's on running in the 10's mate! Solid terminal speed too.

I'm hoping to have similar potential and will have the extra capacity very soon, minus the 4WD.

Yes mate.

Not 100% sure yet, might refit the larger Stage V turbine housing and wheel that my current T62-1 came with. I downsized to the Stage 3 as it wasn't as responsive as I wanted at the time. The extra capacity should solve that issue and give more top end. A small increase in peak power is enough to keep me happy - low-mid 400. More torque across the board is what I really want.

The other option is a Garrett GTX or something similar but yet to do the research.

Forced performance HTA range is a better option than Gtx, same or more power than gtx with better response

Id be listening to Andrew^^, they sound awesome,, pity they only started to biggish stuff, otherwise id definitly try out there 76mm gt42

cheers

Hey Darren, been a while mate! Was chatting to Rob earlier in the year and asked how you were going and what you were up to.

I am very keen to go down the FP HTA path now thanks to the input from Andrew and yourself. Cheers.

matt,

Theres a heap of results on the evo forums from USA, they make some big power on high boost and run into the 8s down the 1/4mile...

Whats getting done to your motor, what head?

    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/  
    • Yeah dunno why johhny posted that here with no context, just post on FB/insta bro where he put it up?  Laine had an off at T4 during Thurs prac, he's ok, car is less than perfect, they are done for the weekend, he can fill in the rest. Bando also binned it like 100m up the road.   
    • I feel there must have been a FB/insta post and the weekend did not start well at all I hope everyone is all okay
