I doubt they would of recommended a 3.2 with a 6262.

If I was after big HP I would not have used the PT6262 either, just wanted one that spooled sooner for my please on the street, all good :)

I know you weren't.

Just saying its pointless to recommend one workshop over another with so many variables.

Congratulations Pete. Glad everything seems sorted. Just in regards to your above comment, big HP you mean 750+ and yes I agree there would be trade offs. But selecting a turbo for 600 HP would not have sacrificed lower end that much on a 3.2. Hardly noticeable.

I only know 1 workshop so that leaves me out of this

But like all businesses , the owners believe their product or procedure is the best otherwise there would be no variables :/

Thought you went to lunch?

Your point Sir ?

I am now at the point, were I wish I did not go to lunch as the grapes turns to poison and make one feel like shit :)

This is probably how the Whale's motor feels after a chamber full of vegetable products burnt to shit :)

thread needs more pics and vids :ph34r:

Glad your happy with it pete, that's a strong power curve...

Thought I had a little misfire at around 7000rpm this morning, do another test tomorrow morning but running strong. Did a little 5500 launch, wheels just skipped and away it went, had to grab 2nd pretty quick :)

I am going to finish it off in a few weeks. It will be getting a new flex fuel tune. It will be interesting to see how a different tuner does with this setup ??

Not much to see in pics, apart from the dump everything is the same, boring , but never got sick of looking at them :)

    • How dare you sell your unreliable Skyline and buy a reliable, Toyota/Yamaha car with a strong gearbox, torsen LSD and Toyota reliability. At least you won't need to worry about oil pumps, big catch can, oil restrictors, blowing off power steering belts, sheering off 3rd gear, failing ABS relays/pumps, etc.
    • 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.
