Dam straight Damo would rather do SAU them heroin gts4 are 4.1 because they share the same parts from the gtr i think r32 gtst is 4.3 because of the lack of torque from the rb20

There might be no house purchase for me this month :)

House at auction went for way more than I was willing to go (which was well above market value)! :D

House I put an offer in I had a second inspection last night on and there's a few things wrong with it. Getting a building inspector to go thru it early tomorrow morning (before I got interstate), and I've instructed him to look for water damage in the ceiling and down the wall cavity. I strongly believe there will be hidden damage, and the owners thought paint would cover up anything. Considering the vendors are asking $5K above median price in the area (on par with Cheltenham houses) and especially $50K above suburb prices (houses in Rosewater range $310K to $330K average) ... I do not believe it will be worth $375K even with the extension (which I suspect does not have Council approval). :down:

Shopping for a house is so much hard work ... jesus, there are some real disappointing homes out there ;)

There is one final house I'm looking at in the area well within the market range and looks to be in better condition. I might arrange an inpsection next week when I return. If nothing comes from this one, I'm giving up looking until the end of the year. Everyone knows the housing market is on its way down, and most vendors are trying to get as much as they can now despite there being some problems with the house!

I'll have pleasure telling the vendor I'm retracting my offer due to hidden faults with the house they were aware of, if it comes to that. :P

WOOT.. 302rwkw 17psi

Best part though...

3500rpm = 200rwkw

4000rpm = 265rwkw

Comes on super smooth no snapping and actually really easy to get the power down.

The 2" FMIC piping and 450x300 small FMIC was causing a few issues and wouldn't allow us to push more than 17psi in to it up top. :D

Not to replace the fmic and its 2" skinny arsed piping :P

NICE joel!! im sure ur a happy man..

whats next hahaha?????

Thats a silly question... :)

E85 haha

+ FMIC with 2.5" piping.

The cams have really woke the car up.. Right off idle it feels much more responsive, spools the turbo earlier etc. I must admit I was a tad scared the 265/263 9mm regrinds would kill low end but its been the complete opposite.

Best thing.... I've just pulled 400km's out of a tank and almost a 1/4 of that tank was on the dyno!! :D

hey Joel.....did you have to retard the exh gear to compensate and bring the power curve back to the left?

I'm abit confused, cause even though 9mm is not huge lift, when I went to school, bigger overlaps always caused a shift in rpm in a northerly direction.......maybe it's more to do with your tune than the cams cause I always thought that better response is not generally a side effect of bigger overlaps :)

Regardless of the size of the cams the way they are setup they run less overlap than the R32 RB25DE cams (8degrees) I previously had in there.

From memory they were 240duration inlet 7.8mm lift and 232duration 7.3mm lift. Inlet had an LCA of 112 degree's and exhaust 117 or 118degree's. Being a total of approx 8degree's overlap.

The new cams... Inlet LCA 110 exhaust 115. Overlap is 4-5degree's so even though they are bigger cams they are setup with bugger all overlap.

The Inlet LCA and exhaust are exactly the same as how JUN or HKS I believe setup their RB20DET cams.

Less overlap helps turbo spool improves bottom end which is most likely why I have not lost any fuel economy or low/mid power yet still picked up decent top end due to the 265duration and 9mm lift. I presume. :S

Still got some tweaking to do it was only on the dyno for approx 1hr. It wasn't worth spending any more time on it as the FMIC is crap and causing problems. Most likely the IW 1bar actuator is not able to hold much more. Much the same as the problems Dangerman4 experienced with his IW garrett housing. Needs a nice stiff actuator.

      Ball bearing turbos

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The cross sectional area of a circular hole scales with the square of diameter. So a 2mm diameter hole is 4x the area of a 1mm hole. Not double. The 1.7mm hole is nearly 3x the area of a 1mm hole. You do not need restrictors at both ends of the oil supply line. If you have new, additional restrictors at the turbo end, that you did not have before, then you do not need a restrictor at the inlet end.

      Ball bearing turbos

      By sunsetR33 · Posted

      Hi all. Been a while but things are moving along. I just have something that I am wondering about. Since I will use OEM turbo oil pumbing, I got myself a new bolt, the one that goes into the engine block oil feed. As I recall (and see visually) this bolt comes restricted with I think a 1.7mm hole? Not quite sure but it was something around that size. The turbos have 1mm restrictor bolts installed, as necessary due to ball bearings and my higher oil pressures. Can I now just use that OEM bolt with the 1.7mm hole in for the engine block or will this actually be too much oil flow restriction and I have to drill it out first? In my head it would make sense for the bolt to be at least 2mm wide as both turbos take "1mm of oil flow". Do let me know if my logic is flawed here, I just want to make sure I don't kill my turbo bearings with too little oil. Don't know if I can trust the saying I read somewhere that ball bearing turbos essentially only need an oil mist

      Forced Performance Hta Turbos

      By jdniss · Posted

      Yeah based on old XRC5964S specs, it looks to be roughly GTX3576R sized? But this 5964S compressor will flow 90lb airflow somewhat similar to the compressors in both the GTX3584RS or G35-1050.. I fully expected the 0.64 rear A/R to choke up top - seems way too small from typical convention - but these are seemingly beneficial over the prior 0.82 results.. Be interesting to see if he comments on the EFR question in that thread - he mentioned in a prior video that BW EFR's were the "cats pajamas 10 years ago", but by the sounds of things all his kits have been using Xona for quite a while now.

      Yeah it’s still got the oem manual gearbox and clutch, only kinda mods are a blow off valve, coil overs, and a aftermarket intercooler. Also had it for about 2 months now with a lovely midnight purple paint on it.
