that sounds familiar roy. being forced to drop a wheel on the grass at >200km/h might get the heart going.

i have them and can post. pm me if you still need them.

disco, i have one of the JB organic higher clamp clutches in my car so if you want to kill two birds with one stone it might be worth having a drive. the clutch is light as stock and exactly the sort of clutch you want for the street.

Hamilton ran Raikkonnen onto the grass that race too (and Kubica?). I don't remember any drive through penalties from that either

they are a great manifold that retain heat well and flow much better than stock. certainly for anyone changing turbos and dump pipes it is worth considering replacing your factory manifold while you are replacing any old broken manifold studs.

you can machine a bit of the engine mount to make a GT35 fit.

I was listening to The land of goat sphincter rings commentary on Saturday it wasn't too bad.

you must have missed the last 2 years of british commentary

lol, Webber with "You EFFING beauty" go live tv.

terrible stop for barrichello, the fuel rig was slow going on.

Roy you are a real chance tonite

as long as he can keep his chin in front at the first corner.... ....on second thoughts his chin will be at the first corner once he lines up on pole.

lol, the turbine housing is a 0.82 you have yourself tied in a knot with the terminology. an internally gated housing is cheaper to buy than all the other hardware (manifold and gate) but if you want the best boost control and cost isn't prohibitive then why not. ps. England in the shite as we speak 2 for 17

Webber pole!!

on a standard unopened RB25DET it should be making full boost well under 4000rpm with a 0.82 housing. if you check out the various threads in forced induction/RB25 dyno results you will see what people get out of a GT3076 with garrett housings.

you are getting the compressor side and the turbine side confused. it is bed o'clock for me.

good news is the turbine (hot side) is the right one but you really wanted an internal gate...so bugger. you were always going to need a new down (dump) pipe and a new inlet for the compressor but it sucks going to the trouble of an external gate. will tweakit do a swap if you send the turbine housing back? ps. you are better off with a garrett housing over a shoehorned nissan housing despite the extra cost of the mods to make it fit. if you wanted simple bolt on then buying a HKS GT3037 ProS or HKS2835 ProS would have been the better bet but higher cost.

there are a few local companies that could supply the gear but apart from possibly needing a spacer you should be able to get the lines done locally if that is any help.

yep........

Same here, although it was tuned in with a powerfc and tuned out by another tuner. Clearly some turbos are nearer to causing compressor surge and there are a number of other factors from BOV's, intake piping and tuning that can also bring it on. All things worth checking if you want to be rid of it (or heaven forbid want to bring it on).

call jim and he will probably still be on the phone when your clutch returns. he does like to talk. check with him whether you really need to supply the old clutch. i didn't for the R33.

the cushion button on the stagea is annoying with the extra kerb weight and the pedal effort involved with the clutch we have (i'm sorry i don't know what brand it is). i would recommend a higher clamp organic based on our experiences on the street in this car. my R33 has a Jim Berry mini monty (or whatever he calls it) with an organic plate and it is a pleasure to drive, light as stock and holding 280rwkw no worries. i can't wait to change the clutch on the stagea to one of similar spec.

what about the diameter of the airfow meter? what about the pre and post intercooler piping to the throttle body? what about the individual runner diameters? assuming you change the throttle body which doesn't appear to be a significant restriction (if it even is a restriction) seems illogical without changing hundreds of $$'s worth of other pipework as well. comparing to an Sr20 with no clear indication it was back to back tested on the same day is pretty thin evidence when trying to compare it to a completely different car. i have seen my cars vary > 5kw on an individual dyno pulls back to back which means that there are many things that vary dyno figures beyond the changes you make. i can see the logic of going to a larger throttle body if you are changing plenums to something like a Greddy plenum (rather than using a standard throttle body adapter) but on any other car more time road tuning/dyno time would get you more bang for your buck. nevertheless, bigger isn't always better, more peak flow doesn't always equal better performance but that is getting a little off topic.

I wouldn't spend money on a new throttle body when there are places you can spend money and definitely make power.

was the car dyno'ed back to back. 5kw is a pretty skinny margin on a dyno to be sure there wasn't other changes like ambient temps, tyre pressure etc.
