Thanks for the input guys. At the moment it looks like im sold on the 7175 (GT42) turbo.. Ive decided to lower down my power goal to something more streetable (650kw),

GTX4202R

I could go that, but im leaning onto the Precision atm.. My friend is getting his car tuned this week (26/30) with the 7175 (GT42) 1.12 a/r im curious to see what kind of figure he puts out. Im going to use his car as a guideline.. I know of someone who also has a 26/32 with a GTX4202R his making 630awkw on 29psi and he claims that he gets full boost at 4500rpm.

I would check the prices, and check rebuilding costs before making a decision......then take it from there.

We went precision 7175 ONLY because we go it new for a ridiculously low price after someone abandened their drag build and it was perfect for what we were targeting.

I would have prefered the 7175 GT42 style though.....

Edit, nothing in my inbox Sedat

If I knew a gt42 would hit full boost by 4500rpm I would of brought one instead of my 6766 for my new engine :( oh well

Coming on boost or at full boost Sedat?

Ask him for the dyno graph, what compression and cams he is running.

Would be interesting to see 29Psi at 4500Rpm.

If true then our 7175 with .96 housing will be on song earlier or about the same being a 3.0 bottom end if compression and cams are similar.

You can look at you compressor map all you like

I'll look at cars running 8s in street trim

Yes I don't disagree that results are important but results coupled with choosing the right compressor from a map is the ideal scenario.

I am interested to know why people choose otherwise, if they cannot offer any other reason other than they saw a result on the internet then that is fine with me.

No he is not ignoring, thank you for the suggestions, he has just pulled back and watching.

My last words to him last time we spoke were sit back and wait to hear and see more results for the 6870, dont rush in now as its still early.

As is said to him, could be what he was looking for.

His turbo and manifold purchase will be made last, now he has his RB32 bottom end to be built, his head is ready, then study results and pick the turbo.......

That is the way it should be done!

  • 3 weeks later...

not real smart, the camshafts should always be chosen when the turbos chosen, unless your conservative, which you

havnt been..

the motor is way over cammed for anything smaller than a gt45 with a big hotside, your just costing yourself

response for no reason at all..

cheers

darren

Hes certainly not being conservative.

Cams were chosen by the engine builder and cam manufacturer based on his Nitto 2.8 stroker and planned use, now with the 3.2 its changed the game, cams will be simple enough to swap over when the time is right should he want more bottom end.

Remember he built it one way, then sold the bottom end to go 3.2 so some chages to the head may be needed.

    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.

    • Unsolicited advice? Keep the engine as close to stock as you can. Nothing wrong with adding some boost and making a little more power, but given where you are, you really don't want to try to make it into a monster. I can't imagine the roads are up to it, and the lack of locla support when it grenades will be a ball ache. FWIW, If there is a dyno around that you can access, then brand new injectors are a good idea, which will lead you to (at least) putting a Nistune in it, which will allow you to put an R35 AFM on it, all of which will make it possible to make it much much nicer to drive and live with.
