SRS13

Just had a quick look on PTC site and didn't see it. How do I pay? Paypal is easier (for me) if not, happy to bank transfer. Cheers.

Its very impressive to see guys that aren't that muscular (from a visual perspective) lifting the weights they lift. Would be great to know what weight routine they are doing/using to get up to those numbers.

Didn't see you there last night. Not sure on what method you used and I'm no expert but revs are one thing and how you release or slip the clutch is another. If you simply 'dump' the clutch at 4500rpm it will lead to wheelspin (in your case), but if you slip the clutch out it wont send all power straight to the wheels and allow a better take off. Just about practise really as its hard to get right. I managed to get my 60 foot down from 2.4 first pass down to 1.8 on 15" 215 re-mould tyres on the same night (this was a few years back mind you).

It was mainly in relation to that... Yeah I wasn't sure if it was 10.7 or 10.2

It's the catch can breather. For anyone possibly doubting the numbers, it ran 10.7@147mph at WSID with 490rwk. Next time out with 536rwk should do 150mph+ The car is also on the Motive 16 Drag battle DVD.

Not bad for a 2.0

Yes understand its a SR20 which is what I have. The top end is sensational and a great result. Don't get me wrong, not meaning to be critical but would have hoped for more action a bit earlier. In any case a dyno doesn't tell you how a car feels on the road. Like I said I have a 5858 that is going onto a 2L (maybe a 2.2L) so am really interested in the response and power of these things. The slightly larger turbo should be able to make 350rwk or so. I guess I will find out later on.

E-Flex, that's E85 yeah? Top end power is great but a little laggy? I'm reading 15psi@4250rpm, 20psi@4500 and 24psi at 5100rpm (all approx). Do you think these can be improved upon with better boost control? What size gate is on there now? I've got a 5858 and was hoping for better response that that but not so sure now!!

I paid 12th September and it arrived yesterday - 2 weeks exactly. The worst part is its probably going to take me at least 10x that long to get my car sorted and ready for the damn thing!!!!!

Since when did this thread turn into a bitching session about issues at the gym.. oh I'm so big cause I train my legs.. lol just kidding, sucks when you cant train 100%.. that's why going to the gym at the right time is so important... :woot: Couldn't help myself

Yeah thanks, your right. Will speak to physio today and develop a workout for the entire body. Cheers.

My 5858 BB turbo arrived today! That was pretty quick I reckon.

Um yeah that part Its one of the tendons that runs from my bicep to my shoulder (not sure if long or short tendon). I don't have any pain at all when doing any of these exercises however it does 'pop' sometimes when making normal movements and that's when I feel the pain. I guess the chins and lat-pull downs can be considered overhead movements and I should avoid these yeah. What other back exercise can I throw in there; seated rows? Thanks.

Sorry just saw this.. this thread moves so quickly sometimes lol Didn't really ask tbh! We just agreed it was a combination of overworking the muscles with not enough rest and not enough stretching. Even though I do stretch before weights I am not doing enough before and after. The fact I have had rotator cuff issues exacerbates the bicep tendon problem (from what I have read). Chest, shoulders, back were also really tight bringing my left shoulder 1cm more forward than my right at normal stance!! Going back to the physio for my second session tomorrow and will ask him more about it. I'm back to doing the main compounds for a while; squats barbell bench press deadlifts chin ups supersetted with lat pull downs upright rows supersetted with dips (throw dips in just for the sake of it, although don't push too hard because of my bicep/shoulder) That smashes me!

Physio told me I have bicep tendonitis... spewing. So its a few weeks to a month of legs and squats. Any upper body recommendations that are not going to make it worse while it recovers?

So what was the difference in times?

It worked on my car as well. Mine is also 3mm ally and its too heavy for my liking. I'm looking into different materials to try and save some weight.

Ok thanks. How thick was the ally used?

Yeah top photos! I'm sure you mentioned it before somewhere in the 24 pages but what is your splitter made from?

I tried the foam roller, damn that absolutely hurt like hell. What does that mean; that my back is not good and I need a massage or that I'm just soft and should harden up

I just paid for a 5858 ball bearing T3 0.63 v-band turbo. Seller said it should be sent within 3-5 days so will see what happens.

And that is why I am going the 5858 over the 5558. I was never ever going to consider the 3071 T3, just wouldn't make enough and the TD06 I feel is the same but more of an unknown quantity. So it came down to 5558 and 5858 and in the end I felt the 5858 was best - hopefully reasonable response but good power should I want it and who eventually doesn't?? Also helped that Yavuz, Precision US and ST8E180 also thought this was the best way to go. Good luck with it!

My thoughts: if I were you and response and good but not big power is most important ie around 280rwk or so, I would go with a Garrett 3071R T3 with 'proper' 60mm wheel. It will be all in by 4000rpm and make between 260-300rwk depending on boost - see Badhairdave's car as a great example. Next would be the TD06SL2-20G 8cm, that seems to make numbers anywhere from 270-300rwk but is journal bearing so once again response and transient response probably wont be as good as BB 3071r (assumption) but it will still be more responsive (based on wheels sizes) than a 5558. Last option would be 5558 journal bearing or ball bearing. This will be IMO laggier than the above two but will make more peak power than both. Just have to work out what you plan to use your car for and what you want. Hope that helps!

I've sent a couple of emails to Precision US direct and they advised the following for SR20 which I guess can be applied to any engine; 5558 will come on a few hundred rpm quicker than the 5858 due to the larger compressor in the 5858 The 5858 will make more power on lower boost The 5862 will be between 400-500rpm laggier than the 5858 but make 20-30peak horsepower The 5858 in their opinion will be the best option to make the horsepower I want The journal bearing and ball bearing units make the SAME horsepower The ball bearing units will come on 200-300rpm sooner than the journal bearing - hence better curve The ball bearing units have better transient response As I am putting mine on a circuit car, boost response and transient response mean a lot hence I am getting a ball bearing 5858. If it were only a street car or even drag car I would go with a journal bearing as peak power potential is the same.

^^^ Ron: please post the pic of the 5858 next to the 3076. Although in my case it will be top mounted so not much of an issue. All on E85. Yeah 3900rpm is to hit 16-18psi and 4500rpm to hit 25+ and somewhere in between for 20-22psi. Those numbers based on DRE20's car running the same turbo seem doable. His hits 21psi by around 4100rpm (from memory) and goes on to make 304rwk on 98 pump. E85 brings it on a lot earlier so my numbers should be achievable(?). Only difference is his engine is overbored to 90mm so essentially 2.1ltr which does help response. I will sell my 3071 but not sure when. But was going to try and sell as a kit with GKtech manifold, intake pipe, filter and dump pipe. I assume you only want the turbo to change the rear end to T3? Edit: sorry without having tried one, he said it should be all in by 4500rpm which is a little late by my liking but like you said to make those numbers with a 2.0 DET your going to have to sacrifice some response. That's where diff ratio (4:3's), cam gear adjustment, throttle response and tuning all come into it.
