With the gearbox and ECU now imminent - I'm thinking I might do the hot side at the same time.

I'm no expert in this area - so please excuse my ignorance.  I'm currently around 500kw at the wheels (2.7L, T76, Trust manifold, Trust dump, External gate etc). 

I would like to make a little more power - but have it come on earlier.  is that possible?

So my question - what setup do I want hot side to complainant the 2.7L / Albins? 

I appreciate feedback and any recommendations.

Thanks D

Hello 600kw and epic response 

there is no questioning how mental EFR turbos are for response compared to what else is on the market 

Thanks mate .... Im looking into it.

Time for a update.

Sadly - trying to buy the best box money could buy has turned out to be another drama.  Still don't have all the items I need to install the box - this is now just ridiculous.  Going on 8 months - and cant install the box they sent me as items are missing from the package that I PAID for !

Linkage bar, adapter to fit shifter and strain gauge all MIA. Abducted by aliens it appears ..

I have sat silent and said nothing this whole time - patiently waiting .. and nothing has happened...

I am so over this Albins box - and parties involved.  

Question I put to my fellow SAU'ers is this.

I have a buyer for my Albins - I can just move this box on and forget about the whole nightmare of trying to own an Albins - and order a Samsonas.  I spoke with them yesterday - they were sympathetic to my situation and were keen to help - but I'm looking at 5 months wait (which for some reason doesn't even seem that bad considering how long I have waited for the Albins).

Let this be a lesson to anyone looking to buy a new sequential - don't make my mistake.  

Is really a shame what has become of this - you spend top dollar expecting the best product, service, etc - and just get nothing.  

What you think boys - wait it out - or f*ckem and move onto Samsonas?

Opinions?

Dan

That sucks man. Are you dealing with Albins direct or have you gone through a supplier ? Every man and their dog is running an Albins in the offroader buggies here and can't stress how good their parts support is.

Obviously I don't know their finer details, but personally I would stick with them as I personally can't make peace with dealing with overseas transmission supplier anymore and you might find yourself in a similar situation.

That said, have you considered the current Quaife sequential supplied by Tim at SVS in the UK if all goes to shit ? I'm not aware of anyone using one in Oz and could be another option ?

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
