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

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

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.

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?

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.

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

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

    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
