Great to hear Sammie.

Did you settle on the garrett .82 iw or the .63 iw?

With decent fuel you can squeeze it over 300rwkw. :woot:

this is good news man, im the one that started the GT30R flavours thread as u might know. good to hear your happy with it I'll be doing the same as you dude. this is great news. :laugh:

ITS ME AGAIN!!!!!!!! :wub: lol ;)

So you've seen sense and decided to use the propper garrett compressor and turbine housing instead of having your std rb25 turbo covers molested? :happy:

It really is bugger all having a new intake and dump pipe made up. It really is worth the extra effort and $$ if your chasing more than 250rwkw.

I'm in the process of practicing my welding skills or lack of so I am able to make my own dump pipe. I've deiced on running a 12.5degree cone for 56mm (3" to 3.5") off the back of the turbo then have a full 3.5" run to the cat. Off the 3.5" cat I'll ahve the system split in to a 2 x 2.5" system. 2 mufflers, smallish center and a large rear to keep the noise down but flow up.

It would be nice to run a 4" dump that splits off in to a twin system but I rally think its just not possible with a 2" wastegate pipe.

Got a TIG at work, I can already oxy/arc weld, have been for years, so once you know the settings to use on a TIG its sort of like using an electric oxy, I have used one a couple of times before.

My problem is that I am sh!tloads of miles from anywhere and if I wnat the job done I've got to do it myself - there is nobody around here that does this sort of thing. Anyway, its way cheaper to buy in some bends and bits that I want and cut and shunt them myself than it is to get someone to do it, probably cost $2-300 for the stainless tubing and flanges etc. Thats peanuts for a s/s custom system.

      You're making my point for me. 95 is not "premium". It is a "slightly higher octane" version of the basic 91 product. The premium product that they want people to buy (for all the venal corporate reasons of making more profit, and all the possibly specious reasons of it being a "better" fuel with nicer additive packages) is the 98 octane stuff. 95 is the classic middle child. No-one wants it. No-one cares about it. It is just there, occupying a space in the product hierarchy.

      98 and 95 have to meet the same national fuel standards beside the actual RON.  91 has lower standards (which are quite poor really), so 95 is certainly not 91 with some octane booster. It would be an easier argument to claim 98 is just 95 with some octane boosters. Also RON doesn't specify 'quality' in any sense, only the octane number.  Anything different retailers decide or not decide to add to their 95 or 98 is arbitrary and not defined by the RON figure.

      95 is just a scam outright. 98 is the real "premium" with all the best detergents and other additive packages, and at least historically, used to be more dense also. 95 is just 91 bargain basement shit with a little extra octane rating. Of course, there's 91 and there's 91 also. I always (back in the 90s early 2000s) refused to put fuel in from supermarket related fuel chains on the basis that it was nasty half arsed shit imported from Indonesia. Nowadays, I suspect that there is little difference between the nasty half-arsed shit brought in by the "bargain" chains and the nasty half-arsed shit brought in by the big brands, given that most of it is coming from the same SEAsian refineries. Anyway - if there's still anything to that logic, then it would apply to 95 also. 98 is only made in decent refineries and, as I said, is usually the "premium" fuel, both in terms of octane rating and "use this because it's good for your engine because it's got the unicorn jizz in it!".

      Yeah since those first 2 replies I actually went and put some 98 in it and tbf it's already doing much better than the 95 (which is weird and makes my inner tinfoil hat wearer think the 95 was a crap batch), getting 8ish around town. Again, wonder if it takes a while to stabilize if the fuel is changed a couple of times. I swear cars used to just either run "well" or "s**t* in my 20s, none of this fuel optimisation business haha
