Hey Anton

Sarkis' 'group buy' did go ahead in a sense, but it wasn't really a group buy as such. It was pretty much - those are the prices, take your turbo down there and get it done at your own will.

I knew a few people who went ahead with sarkis' buy who borrowed housings off me so their car wouldn't be off the road for as long

I saw some of the turbos that came back and they are a great piece of work.

Nice work organising this buy. I might be in touch with you/john shortly - got a some projects that I might building

[moonus]

hey Chris, yeh just thought that if we do it this way we can get people together and get it at a discounted price. i might buy one of your vg30 housings of you, but ill see how things go. He offered to do it for $1250 straight up and $1100 if we went as 5 and did it. If we get 10, he might even drop it to $1000, which is a good price IMO

[SexyPete]

yeah very keen, hopefully 10 people are keen get it even cheaper.

[Munkyb0y]

do these use the stock oil and water lines, as they are? or do they need to be modified?

is there any chance that in the group buy, there would be an option for the ball bearing version and just pay the difference on top of the journal bearing group price?

if so, what price for bb?

Monkeyboy, if these are like the precision turbos ball bearing ones (should be the same - theyr'e both garett catridges), then john supplies you everythign you need - washers, new banjos, banjo ends, gasket for turbo, oil drain gasket - everythign you need.

[moonus]

Monkboy: i know you use the existing oil and water lines, but ill confirm if they need to be modified at all. irrespective, if they are required to to be modified, all work is included in the price. Ill also try to find out what price he can do for the ball bearing and get back to you tonight.

Sexypete: so does that mean your in mate?

[Munkyb0y]

[SexyPete]

[SevenAngryPenguins]

do you have any definites yet?

[moonus]

im definite If sexypete says he's definite in threee weeks, that makes two.

hey i just got a precision high flow ball bearingturbo for my r32 and its really good. i have some minor issues with my car but its definately worth it. the car is making 16psi at 4000rpm. but i did have to get new lines made up for my turbo and it would of been better if i was to buy a hks gtrs. if you are going ahead with this please make sure that it does truly bolt up or all the modifications required are listed.

[moonus]

didnt John modify your existing lines?

[Toasty]

no and the reason was, he told me he didnt need them and then he told me that i had to get custom lines made when i got the turbo...

[MANWHORE]

I'll explain based on the ball bearing model. Like i said above, as they use a garett catridge, the bajo bolts are different sizes.

John supplies new banjos for the water and the oil.

The new oil banjo works with the stock oil lines.

The new water banjos use a different size water line end. John supplies this.

For those people getting the turbo installed by a workshop, this will be no difficulty for them.

For those people isntalling it themselves, there are a few different ways to do this. Get the new banjo end tig welded onto the stock lines to replace the stock sized end. This is perfect - will look like stock, be as strong as stock. Most places will charge about $20-30 for this because its only 2 welds.

Alternatively, you can take your lines off, and take them down to pirterk and get some braided lines made up - costs about $80 each.

I prefer to just get them tigged

[SoFly]

how much more would it be for ball bearing?

and do they show any dyno sheets of the turbo on a rb20?(when boost comes on etc etc)

[moonus]

sorry, i dont have any dyno sheets, but if you wanted a ball bearing, you'd be looking at at least $1500. Also to save youself hassle, if you can provide your own lines, they will be modified to fit straight back on

[Toasty]

john has a sheet floating around. maybe you can get a copy otherwise check this thread out.
