Ok, got this shit sorted. 90mm stainless front pipe cut and tig welded to match up to the new Precision 6466. Thanks to Mick Ackerman from Outback welding, one of two people who could have modified this for me in Alice. He is fabricator for Shannon and Ian Rentsch offroad racing for Finke desert race here. Going to be making the 5500km / $5000 + round trip for a tune to JEM in Sydney hopefully next month. Really wanted Con and CRD to do it after the engine build, but not confident I can get fit in with the timeline on when I need it done. Mechanically here we're set, but hard living here with these type of cars - no custom fabricators, dynos or tuners here.

Dropping engine back in car on Tuesday and start putting back together for Sydney trip.

what is driving the completion date to not have enough time for CRD to tune it?

Red Centre Nats 30/8 - 01/09. Look, I really want Con at CRD to tune it, seems like an awesome bloke who knows his stuff, but I just feel that they always have a lot on their plate with their own projects and don't really have enough time for little old me. If I go to Sydney, whoever I go to, sorry but your going to have to drop everything to concentrate on my car and only my car while I'm there or else I won't use you. I know CRD won't do that. Because It's a massive exercise for me to get the car there and back and will have to be timed precisely to be completed within a two week period of me getting away from work in late June (which is a mission in itself - I work 80+ hours a week). JEM seems willing to go the extra mile for me after talking to them. Don't get me wrong I have no problem with their work or cost, I just think they won't be able to commit to what I want out of them after the engine build. I think they might over commit themselves sometimes.

    • BRUH, one of the biggest mistakes of my life..... and i've had plenty ;[)
    • @Murray_Calavera iam just considering options 🙂 of course it is very expensive so that why i ask here 🙂  @joshuaho96 I looked at that GCG hybrid(i remember looking at it few weeks before) So this is "that" hybrid where i send them my turbo and they upgrade the inside to Garrett stuff and then they send it back. It cost around 1200-1300 USD which is FAR cheaper than the HKS and it is what iam looking for(i just do not have experience like this...to send something off to "upgrade" ) @tylink720 that is like 150 USD turbo no? 😄 I dont think i have the "ease on my mind" with this kind of turbo. I just put over 7000k USD to "LINK" up my engine...dont want to blow it up with cheap turbo 😄     EDIT: https://www.cj-motor.com/gcg-turbo-charger-for-nissan-rb20det-rb25det-high?srsltid=AfmBOooVeOZ6CZ6r1AIv5m-KPaa6BvudIPJTY8LW78khkd-gQlsaCht9 I looked at this and it seems ok? It is that CGC hybrid and it costs around 1250 USD (with back shipping). Do any of you have experience with this hybrid on NEO turbo? I quickly look thru the forum/web and it seems very good.
    • Echo the awesome sentiment 👍 Definitely a car worth saving. Looking forward to seeing updates as well.

    • It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
