You know I'm gonna hold you to that and make a point to drop in now ! 😄 it's only 2300km or so away which is peanuts for us in the NT.

How is the place ? Gotta be better than here with the extremely high crime and f**kwit rate. I grew up on the Boulevard, raced motocross at Waaia and went to Gowrie Street primary as a little tacker in the 80s - loved it down there back then. My neice still lives there so I'll be down at some stage, so your 33 better be running by then 👍

Being Victoria, how do you think you'll go with registration for it ? I think about this for our single turbo GTRs when we move away...NT is a bit like who you know for rego sometimes as we have yearly pit inspections for cars over 10 years old which complicates matters.

That said you still see shit like this running around every day - at least the have some windows

What a surprise. Cops are f**ken useless here...

Sounds like a plan!

Yeah Shepp is OK. It's got it's problems but where doesn't!  My first house was in Will's Street which was just off the Boulevard. It's a nice area. 

One smart yet dumb things I decided way back was to not deregister it knowing re-registration would be difficult going RB30. It means I've paid $7500 or so of rego without ever touching the road!  Thank God they went up in value!

I would imagine there would be some pretty interesting cars up in the NT! 🤣🤣

Finally getting some traction on the white 32.

Mountain of parts, and Amayama finally delivered after about 18 weeks.

Long engine starting to go back together with the CP pistons and Spool I beam rods. Head is stock apart from ARP2000 head studs, Tomei 1.2mm head gasket and Supertech single valve springs. Bottom end got the ARP main studs on a factory 26 crank. Still waiting for the Hi Octane sump to come back and then engine can go in.

Very exciting, will be great to see the updates!

 

Yeah man full steam ahead now. Give me 2 months and should be re-regoed and back on the road 👍

I for one can't wait to see the 6266 real world. People talk a lot of shit on here but I truly am impressed by the Precisions overall.

I know your style, it's full send till it's done.

I'm a lazy prick, I'll take 3 years to do what you would do in 2 months LOL.

I'm a Precision fan too, just run an OPR and an oil filter and it will live much longer than other fancy turbos.

You go to WTAC and you mainly see two brands of turbos, it's either Precision or Garrett for a reason.

Some of the tribal "rah this turbo brand" or "rah that turbo brand" does my head in, especially where people give "advice" which is pretty clearly actually based on their biases.   Ironically a build I'm involved with is also centered around a divided hotside Precision PT6266 Gen2 on a "true" split pulse cast manifold and we're going to be using it on a 2JZGTE.   The owner had been convinced to upgrade to an EFR8374 when his car had pretty bad lag issues which were actually nothing to do with the turbo itself, and it didn't have a lot of miles on - like yours I expect it will be a super effective street setup which will probably surprise some people in terms of the power and response it's capable of.

Half the time the issues the bigger name turbos have are to do installation or how they're matched to the engine they're on.   I've seen some turbo speed data on how some Precisions are used on bigger builds and it's amazing how far into "overspeed" territory their compressors stay efficient - imho a certain amount of their reliability reputation is effectively them being a victim of their own success in that fact.

Aside from you know, the likes of Tilton and RP968 but they are pretty much having their own private WTAC battle half the time so I guess don't count.

After ripping off the HKS turbo on my 2.8 blue 32 and going with the 6466 I was astounded by the overall improvement everywhere in the power curve and peak power.

Considering that 6466 on my 2.8 is over 450kw at 22psi on 98ron and over 600kw at 32psi on E85, I would expect the 6266 on the 2.6 to be maybe 400kw on 98ron and 500kw on E85 at similar boost levels. Sound around the ballpark ?

With >600kw from the 6466 I'm guessing that's a hub dyno, in which case I'd say your goals seem super realistic.  I'm kinda hoping to see mid 500kw area without being silly on the Gen2 a bit with E85 on the hub dyno I use and 400kw easily on 98ron.   I'm not 100% sure about the Gen1s as the 6466s really overshadowed the hell out of them when they came out (and lets be real, the 6466s were basically a game changer when they came out and are still not easy to beat in terms of how flexible they are in terms of power, response and what they work on) but I doubt there is THAT much difference so again, feels like the numbers should be realistic.

Yeah 611kw gen2 6466 1.0 a/r results from Morpowa's Mainline Prohub dyno, printout posted in the other build thead and 26 results thread. I know Precision power ratings are to be taken with a grain of salt, with the gen2 6466 is indicated at being 900hp rated.

The 6266 gen1 vs gen2 power ratings are 735 vs 800hp so really sort of approximating estimates.

Ah nice, yeah solid result.  Hp ratings are so frustrating, who knows what conditions they're defining for making that hp etc - even if they can't do compressor maps it'd be lovely if they could say "Flows up to x lb/min at x boost" kind of thing a bit like that excel datasheet I compiled for a while for different turbos where the info was available.

The .84/6266 combo seems like it'll be a nice one on a 2.6 anyway, look forward to seeing how it goes :)

So after going away for work for a week I thought we better hook into the white 32 and look at getting the engine in. I came back to this:

The old man Lyle got itchy feet while I was away and not only got the engine in by himself, but installed the full oil cooler system, power steering pump, catch can, aircon compressor, twin blitz blow off valves, alternator, all belts and pulleys, intercooler and all pipes, the 6266 turbo, ATS twin plate clutch, front diff and setup, rebuilt clutch master cylinder. Also replaced the Speedflow 602 series 40 micron fuel filter, tig modified the new sump with extra AN10 and AN4 fittings for sump breather and OPRT40 turbo oil reg.

I must say it's pretty impressive for a 77 year old...

I have 4 weeks to have to this piece of shit ready and registered for drags and motorkhana on 2nd - 4th September for RCN08. Gearbox, drive shafts and exhaust up. Had a hold up sourcing the correct 20mm bearing carrier for the new ATS twin plate carbon clutch. Also fitted a Nismo chromoly release fork pivot to the box before it went in too.

Dude, I am f**ked up at the moment. Working on 3 GTRs, a WRX, a Ford Territory, working 60  - 80 hours a week on electrical with every second one away from the cars, looking after 2 little girls at 4 and 5 years old and the house shit and a missus that fckn hates me doing anything car related (even though the WRX is basically fckn hers ! - hardly drive it). Oh and had Covid this month for the first time too......

20220713_132954.thumb.jpg.6c42ff0196c679401ee8c348d1acc032.jpg

I guess I'm just in superfreak mode at the moment which has been sustained for a while - like 4 years worth. This white car blow up has cost us the best part of a year, so I'm lucky Dad (Lyle) is an awesome performance mechanic and actually fills in the gaps for me a little (lot) bit.

I actually hate working on GTRs as they're such a prick of a platform to do anything on. I guess I wouldn't do if they weren't so bloody awesome to drive. That's the key part - I want to get to a point of driving them more than working on them which seems to be the GTR way of life.

Anyway, back to it....😖

Whatever shit you're on, I need a bit of it!  Send a bottle back to Shepp will ya!?

Maybe I'm just in a rut! 🤣

Keep it up, you're smashing it!

    • Welcome to the site. Any more pics? That colour is gorgeous.
    • I didn't even know that existed!!! Amazing, good work Andy at Haltech! A bit off topic here, but I actually met Andy at a Aus Lancer car meet at the old Shell Space Station in Ryde back in 2003 or so. He brought out this aluminium case and showed everyone this basic circuit and said he was making an ECU that was capable of using closed loop to self tune. Most of the people there dismissed his idea.
    • I actually was using 4D tables with my old AEM WMI system. I'm now using "Water Injection Advanced" under engine functions to control my WMI. The timing and fuel corrections are easier to use as they have WMI in mind. Example, my fuel correction is based on my WMI solenoid duty cycle, they also included built in timers to delay corrections before and after spraying, timers to ramp up pulse width, etc.   
    • Just a thought, how come you didn't use a 4D table? So you essentially run 2x fuel and 2x ignition tables, and the table/map switch is handled when there's enough WMI pressure detected. This is mine, but using the flex sensor as the 4th dimension, note the slider at the bottom. Between 0 to 70%, the timing is blended/interpolated , once it goes past 70% ethanol full send
    • Hi guys, after dreaming of owning a JDM legend for 20 years, I got the chance to buy a 1995 R33 GTR.  I live in a small country called the Solomon Islands which is in the pacific. There is no performance car scene here, however 90% of vehicles here are 2nd hand Japanese imports so there is a handful of JDM sports cars here, tucked away.  3 Evo VI’s, 1 180sx turbo, 2 GTO’s, 1 R32 GTR and 2 R33 GTR’s.    Only 1 Evo and a 33 (mine) are active. I’m hoping to set up a club to get these cars back in the road.    I’d known of my GTR for 9 years and always dreamed of owning it. At the start of this year I found it sitting outside a workshop waiting for a respray. It was in pretty bad shape, although running and driving perfectly apart from a big exhaust leak and worn out bushings. My brother in law who is a huge GTR guy came over for a holiday and I took him to see it, he got into my ear and I bought the car 2 weeks later as is.   I’ve had a pretty bad problem with alcohol and weed since 2020 and I really wanted to quit. So I used this as my motivation. I quit everything cold turkey and have been investing all my spare time into restoring this car. It’s honestly been the best experience and has been such a positive impact on my life.  There is no market for these cars here, no parts and no mechanics that can work on them, so if you wanted to sell one it would be pretty impossible unless you found the right buyer. After a bit of negotiating with the previous owner (a good friend) I got the car for $15,000 AUD ($85,000 SBD) which is insane.  I’ve almost finished doing a refresh on the engine, new turbos, spark plugs and split fire coil packs. Also new gaskets and seals, This car had no leaks to begin with, but it’s due now being 30 years old. . Next I’ll be working on the suspension, all new bushings, ball joints, king pins and new coil overs.  Then it will be body work, it has really bad rust in the boot floor, I have purchased a rear beaver cut from my bro which will replace the rusted out one. The car is originally KL0, but was burnt orange when it landed here, then it was resprayed toxic green and then Bayside Blue. I’m probably going to get it redone in Bayside Blue.  I’m super grateful to be able to enjoy this car and couldn’t have done it without my bro Chris from OG-JDM. Looking forward to the future with this car and hoping to get it on the runway at the airport here 😂  cheers fellas
