You cannot just change it from a journal bearing to a ball bearing. According to GCG everything from a Series 2 R32 up has a ball bearing turbo. Tihs means that yours is already BB.

How much did Milanco quote you to get the turbo highflowed?

I would also be interested to find out how much it is worth to get a turbo high flowed, as i have recently spoken to GCG and was quoted $2000 to have my turbo done and i wouldn't mind seeing if there is any difference between the price you were quoted and the price i was quoted.

:D

You are correct in saying that a R33 does come standard with Ball bearing, but the quality of the standard bearing is not so good. A standard turbo is only rated to 14psi where as going High Flow will rate the turbo to 25psi. During the High flow process they replace the standard ceramic wheel with a steel one, and upgrade all bearings to allow for increased boost levels which in turn equal heaps more power.

Maximum I should be able to get out of this turbo without upgrading the computer, clutch, etc etc is between 14-16PSI. If I want anymore, it's then in the need to upgrade the computer which I will have plans for later on down the track. Just going to have to get use to this new amount of power that I'm goin to get from it.

Can I ask...why turbo first??? Why not intercooler, boost, full exhaust, computer....get used to that, then new turbo??? Or is the stock turbo buggered?

Stock turbo is buggered. It's sqealing at 4,500RPM & higher and 2 mech's have told me that the inpropella fan is rubbing up against the housing.

The intercooler is hopefully goin to be done next wknd. Just hoping I can get it from the guy here in brisbane before next wknd as he's out stock of the intercoolers right now.

Front strut brace/bar arrived yesterday. So that's now sitting at home.

At the same time with the turbo and all being done with Milanco.... they are also installing a new Apexi AVC-R boost controller for me.

The exhaust system has already been modified. To what extent though I'm not sure but will look further into it shortly. I know from the cat back that the exhaust has been modified and have also been told that the dump pipe is also modified too.

I ended up stayin at the workshop for about 20-30mins talking to the guys. The guys are pretty upfront about everything and I'm actually feeling alot more safier dealing with these guys then I actually did with hardore.

Feeling safier to deal with a company is alot better then walking in with your eyes closed and not knowing what's ahead of you.

One thing people dont think of in my opinion is that your handing your car over to a mech who is about to modify/change/alter the way your car runs/works which in turn once you drive out, your life could be at any risk of danger.

With these guys, I've got alot more trust in them then probably any other workshop I've been to. I'm more then happy to recommend these people to anyone in my opinion. Though they are a bit out of brisbane, they are worth the distance to drive to, thats for sure!

So are the guys easy to talk to? I have found that with most other workshops i have delt with that they are far too important to talk to me, the lowly customer.

I have seen a few Skylines around the place, both here in brissy and down at the gold coast with there stickers on and i have always been wondering who they were. I have never seen any advertising done by them in any mag.

These guys are actually very easy to talk too. Stood around in the dyno room for the majority of the time talking and was a great conversation. Talked about the future of additional mods to be carried out on the car along with some recommendations on both sides (mine and theirs) to which they actually listened to what I had to say and not strongily push their recommendations onto what I should actually do.

Their form of advertising that they want to do is purely through word of mouth. They dont have any interest (from what I understand in yesterdays conversation) in advertising their business.

If any business (such as this one) can actually get work in only purely by word of mouth, then they must actually be doing something alot more better then any other workshop. Any business can tell you (even I can within the web hosting industry) that its hard to get any form of a client in by word of mouth and when you do get a client in by word of mouth, damm it makes you feel that you are accomplishing something for what you are working for/towards.

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
