Swiper the Fox

Still here peeps

A blocked rear oil feed caused the rear turbo's bearing to fail...good one is fine as oil supply not age contributed to the failure. Both internal gates

You dont see many stock cars fail....when i say stock i mean boost levels as well. Two main causes for failure...people fu(king with them who dont know what their doing. Poor inconsistent fuel quality in this country. This is only my opinion

Mid to low 12's should be achieveable.

Manifold, gate, dump, oil feed and return line and piping (to cooler and inlet)

*no chatting in for sale, read the rules*

Yeah ookami, more than happy to keep ya in the loop. Will let ya know how it comes up.

Masqurading as his brother eh.

Is this guy not "the" MR MAD?...if he's not he can have the laggy cops...and if he is id like to see his car.

Its his road car Roi Boi why run 9's in a Nissan GTR when you run 7's in your twin T88 torana GTR

You have the best...why back trade...great street/circuit turbo...hell some really crazy guys use these in drag GTR's running low 10's....They have obviously lost their marbles.

We have a fully built RB25/TO4-Z (HKS) combo due for completion very soon. Engine is done just waiting on cams and injectors to arrive from the land of the rising sun. We have gone with a 0.81 rear housing as the owner is a bit of a power junkie and top-end punch is what he's after. Will keep you posted with our results. The old engine had a GT3040 (garrett) hanging off the side of it.

Ill see how im holding for cash and get back to ya

Your location?

SOLD to Wolverine.

I have only raced this car on 5 occaisions and ran 10.36 at Jambo...hardly 12 months...late september actually. I ran an 11.2 the first time at the track and after the gearbox was sorted ran 10.8 first pass slowly improving the ET to 10.38 by the end of the day. To run a 9 with this set up is a difficult task as it is not a path well trodden. We love the knockers as its the ability to rub peoples noses in their dribble which spurs us on. We dont need to be educated on what a single turbo set-up can do on the strip, as its the way most people go and the results are well documented.

I don't care as long as it boosts I love to cheat Thanks mate i love that line Its all about the car...im just the lucky bastard that gets to go along for the ride.

I think what Pete was getting at is the fact that the general consensus is to run 9's requires a big single turbo...as this is the way most ppl go. The fastest low-mount GTR b4 us was 10.78..which in the scheme of things is run of the mill in a serious drag GTR. To run 10.36 on 2530's on street rubber without gas was unheard of....and to run a 9 on low mounts (and im talking general mindset here) is unachieveable....but i always like to tread a different path and go against the grain...so the goal of running 9's with low-mounts in a full weight car on street rubber without gas is right up my alley.....did i mention synchro manual transmission and a single plate clutch ?

Hi Pete, After speaking to a few guys today in the industry it seems the standard design of the oil feeds aids this problem...its the feed which has the loop in it. A 3mm orifice inside the tube and the bending of this tube that is done on an upgrade (yes i may have contributed in the failure) makes the feed smaller in diameter are two factors involved. Also the oil that sits in the bottom of the loop on shut down gets exposed to a lot of heat (small volume of oil and extreme heat). The question im asking myself is "is this why std rear turbo's always fail"? is the heat and oil starvation to blame as much as the ceramic wheel?. For years i was a Mobil 1 user...but the last year or so i use Castrol Formula R, and change oil and filter before every meet. Which means the oil would see 500klm tops before changing. A larger orificed plumbing system in braided line will replace all water and oil feeds and drains with the upgrade (earls will make a killing out of me). I will design and produce the kits for sale after testing to help prevent future failures in other vehicles....how many ppl rip of the turbo's on an upgrade without checking these lines...i know i am guilty of this myself so i can say it would be a lot. Target is 9's on the low-mounts and with the full interior being installed back in the car, a 9 sec pass will be awesome.

Nothing like the feeling of setting the car up for a corner and the geometry of the rear suspension changes...very un-nerving. HICAS is not your friend (thanks SK) get rid of it.

SOLD...thank you

12 psi....stock rod length we run 17psi with shortened length.

About $3300 ex Japan...Gav...PM me with details on your upgrade as im interested

Will take some snaps and post them up...BTW the exhaust housings are HPC coated.

OK no probs. Ash....back on topic ppl please
