lolz.....funny topic.

I have only had one issue with a Precision Turbo's from John. I actually charge more to install a Hypergear turbo's due to poor clocking, Banjo fittings being different and the thing being supplied like it was just found in a junk yard.....I also offer NO reduction in costs if the turbo is stuffed within bugger all KM's due to poor oil flow on idle. It's funny how I have no issues with John discussing and getting the right setup. I too have had issues with Hypergear in the past supplying the wrong banjo's (would have been OK for a local job but this job was 300km's away), clocking, resend back to them at my cost due to wastegate problems, long turn arounds and communication.

Precision do 3 types of turbo's:

  • SS1 - $1,250
  • SS2 - $1,250
  • GT30/71r BB internals(the same Turbo Fishing Freak ran 12.2's with in RWD only) - $1,650

IMO the best setup for everyday use was the one I recently put in for Alex(Scott's old one) but that is pricey. If I was to do it all again I would still got with the GT30/71r BB even though the pricing is a little high.....imo its the best of all worlds.

anyway....thats my 2c's worth.

Does the 3071 bb go in the oem housings or native with an adaptor?

Goes in the original housings. You do need to modify the outlet to the intercooler though as it will need to be 18-20mm longer. If you are doing a custom intake you will need to take the movement into account as well. It's all pretty easy work.

PS. Motorsport connections has the oil feed lines in stock for either a bush or BB setup. Under the name GARDEED....there about $200. They have an inline filter as well.

actually....if you go BB let me know....I have 2 brand new lines...I'll give you a discount....you will just need to order an inline filter.

I'm not overly keen on going with the OEM housings again. I'm am positive the BB 3071 would be much better but still a compromise to a degree.

My boost response with the SS2 Hypergear rev4 is as follows:

1st 2nd 3rd

2000 -.2

3000 1.6 3.7 5.4

4000 5.3 6.8 11

4700 9.7 10.3 19.5

5000 10.3 13.8 19.8

6000 13.7 14.2 19.8

As you can see to get any decent power you have to be travelling at impractible speeds. The stock turbo would be faster in 1st and probably 2nd as well. Average power(low down torque) and transient response are incredibly important to our heavy auto's.

The only turbo that I know will retain these characteristics is the titanium turbined Borg Warner EFR. Either 6258 or 6578 would be my pick.

I'm using one of Johns Precision Turbochargers SS2 profile; recommended by Craig over 3 years ago.

I cannot speak highly enough of John, and the quality of his workmanship. He invited me to his workshop, and was more than happy to explain the theory behind what he builds, and it performed exactly as he said it would.

The guy does excellent work, and shared my excitement when the car pulled a good time at the drags.

This was in stark contrast to the other turbo builders who just wanted me to stop asking questions and start throwing money at them.

Supercharger would fix these low down boost issues :P

It's all about matching the stall converter and turbo, I have no idea where Tao got the idea we all want 300kw on petrol. 250 would be a more realistic figure without going to a 3k stally.

We want a turbo that produces the most amount of average torque between 2500-6500rpm. I'm thinking small turbo high boost or less rotational mass ie: ceramic turbine, Gamma Ti Turbine, Ti alloy.

EVO 9 RS turbocharger CHRA into OEM housings ?

TDO5HRA-16G6C-10.5T (ti alloy turbine, magnesium alloy compressor) Possibly replace the comp wheel for high boost.

I made 272awkw on E85 on my Tommei Mak EVO, response was silly

Pitty these turbo's spin the opposite way....

maybe a titanium compressor wheel that enables 50 plus degree backswept angles. This gives bigger flow for less rotational mass.

Scottys old setup with the garret and external gate and 3k stally is the perfect setup

But cost wise is up there cause all custom made

I've been through 4 setups so far

Ss1

Ss2

Gt3071 standard housing

Gtx3071r garret

The torque and response this thing has is bloody awesome sitting at about 330kw with more to improve in the future

  • Like 1

30kw gain with a lag penalty. The torque was through the roof though.

I have since realised the torque gains with the external gate and larger housings is worth more than any dyno can show. At least my gearbox is happy now.

(Edit, remember the GT3071 is a cropped rear wheel compared to the 60mm GTX turbine.)

Once these wagons are on boost the torque curve is incredibly flat, much better than the RB25. Makes for an enjoyable wave of acceleration. I found -4 degrees timing at 6500 rpm helps my trans shift. All other high load cells have +5 degrees on E85, light load/cruise has +8.5

I've also had great success with the EMU auto tune and my innovate LC-2 wideband. Tune is within .2 AFR with no input from me apart from a drive through the hills.

Once I work out how to get a speed input from somewhere I'll also setup launch control..

Do you have a boost curve available scotty? would be good to see. I agree, dyno doesn't show the big picture at all. A boost curve at part throttle would highlight transient response and separate the boys from the men.

There is a speed sensor in the back of yhe dvd rom

    • Yup. You can get creative and make a sort of "bracket" with cable ties. Put 2 around the sender with a third passing underneath them strapped down against the sender. Then that third one is able to be passed through some hole at right angles to the orientation of the sender. Or some variation on the theme. Yes.... ummm, with caveats? I mean, the sender is BSP and you would likely have AN stuff on the hose, so yes, there would be the adapter you mention. But the block end will either be 1/8 NPT if that thread is still OK in there, or you can drill and tap it out to 1/4 BSP or NPT and use appropriate adapter there. As it stands, your mention of 1/8 BSPT male seems... wrong for the 1/8 NPT female it has to go into. The hose will be better, because even with the bush, the mass of the sender will be "hanging" off a hard threaded connection and will add some stress/strain to that. It might fail in the future. The hose eliminates almost all such risk - but adds in several more threaded connections to leak from! It really should be tapered, but it looks very long in that photo with no taper visible. If you have it in hand you should be able to see if it tapered or not. There technically is no possibility of a mechanical seal with a parallel male in a parallel female, so it is hard to believe that it is parallel male, but weirder things have happened. Maybe it's meant to seat on some surface when screwed in on the original installation? Anyway, at that thread size, parallel in parallel, with tape and goop, will seal just fine.
    • How do you propose I cable tie this: To something securely? Is it really just a case of finding a couple of holes and ziptying it there so it never goes flying or starts dangling around, more or less? Then run a 1/8 BSP Female to [hose adapter of choice?/AN?] and then the opposing fitting at the bush-into-oil-block end? being the hose-into-realistically likely a 1/8 BSPT male) Is this going to provide any real benefit over using a stainless/steel 1/4 to 1/8 BSPT reducing bush? I am making the assumption the OEM sender is BSPT not BSPP/BSP
    • I fashioned a ramp out of a couple of pieces of 140x35 lumber, to get the bumper up slightly, and then one of these is what I use
    • I wouldn't worry about dissimilar metal corrosion, should you just buy/make a steel replacement. There will be thread tape and sealant compound between the metals. The few little spots where they touch each other will be deep inside the joint, unable to get wet. And the alloy block is much much larger than a small steel fitting, so there is plenty of "sacrificial" capacity there. Any bush you put in there will be dissimilar anyway. Either steel or brass. Maybe stainless. All of them are different to the other parts in the chain. But what I said above still applies.
    • You are all good then, I didn't realise the port was in a part you can (have!) remove. Just pull the broken part out, clean it and the threads should be fine. Yes, the whole point about remote mounting is it takes almost all of the vibration out via the flexible hose. You just need a convenient chassis point and a cable tie or 3.
