Piggaz

Gear position sensor is so you know where everything is. If you don’t have it then you can only use a set time and hope that you have completed the motion of the change before it restarts ignition.

What kinda money are they after for an OS88?

If you want to do it properly you need to install a gear position sensor BEFORE the box goes in. You’ll then need a strain gauge. Depending on the strain gauge used factor in around $2500 to do this. Here are a couple photos of the sensor I used on the OS88. The strain gauge was the “Motorsport systems” item. Same as what they use in V8 Supercars. It’s about $1500, made in Sydney.

Why ‘build’ an engine with a stock crank? 73.7 mm sucks. No point pulling the crank out to fit an oil pump to try and save an engine when how you’re going to treat it, it’s going to break regardless. Leave it alone or DO IT!

Crank has to come out to fit the collar doesn’t it? You’d be silly to do that and then put it all back together.

What’s the reason behind changing the pump only on what looks like a factory engine? Going to upgrade the sump too? Going to rip the head off and play with restrictors? Leave it alone until you build it would be my advice. It’s been doing it’s job quite nicely for 30 odd years, leave it alone.

Would love to know how they come to those figures. A 3076 gen 1 makes more than a 3576. What on earth is that? Turbine side as it gets bigger makes less grunt. 🧐

Prob 5000 kms.

Have been over speeding my 8374 by a few 1000 rpm since the day it was put on 2017. Was pulled off a few weeks ago in perfect condition. No shaft play, no missing turbine wheel. 🤷‍♂️

Guys have to so be a bit realistic about what they expect their equipment to hold. The GTR scene has gone farken loopy with all this “1200 whp GTR street driven, does high 8’s” rubbish. Between YouTube, Instagram or any other “look at me” social media dribble, everyone wants to be a super star and out donkey swing the next guy. A 600 kw GTR is ridiculously fast (mid 9 seconds or whatever) and if built right can stop, turn AND go. Anything faster that than really becomes a 1 trick pony. To have a manually shifted 900 kw GTR with sticky tyres, on a prepped track launching at god knows what RPM in a heavy car, is it any wonder why the drive lines fail? There is no give and all that grunt/shock load has to go somewhere. Come back down to earth! *off topic rant 🤪

I totally agree and this was my beef with them when they first released the sequential. I spent many hours on the phone with PPG when I was originally going to go down the 5 speed dog box path and they said themselves the issue is with the 5 speed box IS the housing.... then they make a sequential out of the 5 speed box. WTF? Got the OS88 in the car and removed it after 300 kms. Didn’t like it. At the time (mid 2017) I don’t think the samsonas box was a thing yet so it was the PPG, OS88, Holinger, Albins that you needed to take a grinder to the car or back to a 5 speed which is just NOT an option. IF I was doing it today, I think the Samsonas box would be the pick. Suck up the scaffolding gear lever (surely they can do better here) and cop the noise on the chin. With cranky diffs, pumps and whatever else is going on, what’s a bit of extra “character”? It looks like PPG have released a billet housing now. Unsure if it’s any bigger or it’s just shinier. I have had NO problems with the PPG box, it’s been great. Put all the trim around the shifter and it’s pretty damn quiet, shifts well, no oil spewing out the gear case or any other dumb problems. An issue is with these types of boxes (sequentials in general) that guys want to run 1500 whp through them and then wonder why they break. If you run a reasonable amount of power through them <600 Wkw (I use the term reasonable loosely here because 600 wkw is a crazy amount of power) there shouldn’t be any issues.

517 awkw.

No issues so far.

OS88 is a very old and dated design. No gear position sensor, just a switch for the gear display, no strain gauge either. Quite agricultural as well. Mine lasted 300 kms and then pulled out and moved on for a PPG sequential, no comparison between them.

Cannot confirm 100%, no.

Oh right. By all accounts they look the same. 🤣 Can take some decent photos of the Neo one tonight and post them up here.

I have one but I need it. I can’t help you. Lol Sorry.

It’s needed. Spent too long cleaning it. Sorry 🤪

Have you fixed your exhaust that’s way too small yet?

Let us know what you manage to do the dry sump setup for 👍

$600

Anyone received their shafts yet? Any issues?

What’s the options you’re looking at?

Checked the for sale section of SAU?

$1800 you took it off my hands for lol
