Hey Brendon - don't wanna hijack your thread with my woes.

Actually not that bad - just a minor leaky headgasket late last year, but gave me an "excuse" to drop out the motor and strip it down. One thing has led to another and now have.......new head, oversize valves, drag head gasket, smaller -5 terbs, smaller IC, Tomei manifolds, smaller Nismo plenum.

Am now a full on "response adict" lol. Gunna cost me top end (and prolly prevent me cracking the elusive 10s 1/4), but should give me a serious amount of mid range torque.

Trying to get everything back together for MV - maybe possible but will only have a "skid tune" at best lol

Looking forward to a big season of sprints, track and Targa events :P

Managed to pick up 'Best Engineered & Underbody' in the 'Late Model Performance' category at Motorvation #22 at the weekend. Considering this car show'ss mainly oriented to more Street Machines, Hot Rods and Muscle Cars, I was pretty happy that an import picked this one up.

Well thats cool, as I have a lot of parts off my S13 on the GTR. THough the GTR is in need of some attention now and since I ahve moved all my tools are in storage, it is time to let the baby out to a workshop me thinks, just need to find some one I trust now that I am living in Perth. It would also help if I could get my Aprilia back so I would have some wheels.

    • On the compressor side it looks like the best, if your head setup will support doing 100-110lb/min at 30psi-ish boost.   The G45-1350 compressor looks ideally better if you need closer to 40psi for it, given both the G40 1150 and G42 1200 look like they'll be around the 100lb/min mark at 35psi and dropping from there.   Bear in mind the turbine sides are all different between those three turbos, so that COULD be an influencing factor for how they all perform in the real world as well.   Not sure if you've made a conscious decision to only look at Garrett or not, but at least on paper the XRE7169S matches or beats those other three at everything from 30psi up and just going from wheel size alone likely to be at least as responsive as the G40 1150 and seem to behave closer to G42s in terms of turbine flow.
    • @Lithium  looking for a turbo for my Rb30. Want to make sure I understand this correctly.   If I want to stay 40psi or under my best choice of these 3 is actually the smaller G40-1150 ?
    • Massive ups for MTHire also. Could not have done the subframe bushings job without hiring the tool from them. Process was super easy and cost me around 25% of the cost of the tool. If you need a one-time tool to do something, check them out. (Paid for the rental myself, no sponsorship here.)  
    • I'd suggest calling Unigroup, they have a lot of experience with these, access to reliable fabricators etc. Of course it will cost but at least you can trust what they tell you
