GT47R I believe

Whenever I used to see a big turbo and I went to explain it's size i would always say, "It was bigger the ya head!"

That's why this one has a hat on it :P

Yes that turbo would almost weigh 1/2 your body weight Steve

I am the sales manager at HP-F it spends most of its life sitting in our workshop.

We asked Autosalon crew whether it would handle the power but they werent sure so wasnt gonna bother.

We shall see it at Summernats hopefully should crack 2000rwhp.

Speaking of big f***ing turbos, saw that HKS have a new turbo, the T62R. If i remember correctly its rated to 1100PS.

They are actually 1200PS....using a 108mm compressor...im running a modified HKS T51R SPL BB with this same compressor wheel. But sticking with the smaller turbine of the T51R compared to the T62R to possibly retain some sort of midrange...lol.

Should be good for a genuine 900hp at the tyres without the spray.

whole lot of good that ones goin to do.. with no wheels and all.

speaking of summernats...is he looking at going or what???

nothing more fun sitting in a big shed with a car pulling off 1900rwhp :)

woop woop

Since Lyle is no longer with us.We would have to wait for permission from his wife before we can start MR PSI up, but i'm pretty sure Summernats will be on the agenda.

Ok Autosalon were there any other cars on there that had results on other dyno's?

were any of the insane drifters on the dyno would be interesting to see what they pulled on this dyno that is saposadly way out?

yeah everyone was out, we ran athids car on RE customs dyno the other night and it came up within a poofteeth of mine.... they dyno operator told athid it should be run in 4th (car was s15) and it ran 240rwkw..... ran it at re's and it ran 280 in 5th on 19"s with wheelspin... then ran it in 4th and it made 259rwkw. If it had had been done properly athid would have taken out 4cyl turbo EASY... (LOVE THE BULLSHIT ABOUT HIGHER READINGS IN A LOWER GEAR)

DARRENs supra from ran well below its hp level (400hp off on sat) until sunday when it got tweaked to suit and rocketed to top position... only to be outdone by GAS on the last run of the day.

Angelos r33 GTR from racepace ran mid 314rwkw.....well down so it was pretty much all workshops with odd readings..... not foul play just poor operators.

shit even a R32 GTR pulled 140.... talk about sad..

    • @soviet_merlin Thanks mate!  Nothing too major but will hold me up for a while. I've got lymphomas to get taken off the back of my neck and the middle of my spine which always conjures scary thoughts!  It sounds worse than it is. Yeah great, conjuring more rabbit hole deepening , just what I need! 🤣  
    • I'd argue the F50 kit I got is very good value. For ~2k I got the calipers (refurbed condition), adapters, pads, brake lines, rotors, and top hats. I think you'd be pretty hard to get Evo/GTR/350z brembos + the additional hardware for similar money. Used market for a pair of front calipers alone I've seen tend to run anywhere from $1500-2000 depending on condition.    That said, something like a GTR or 350z brembo is a lot easier to adapt to the Silvia. 
    • Is there a significant price difference between the Evo/gtr/350z brembos vs the F50? Looks amazing.
    • I was actually being a tightarse at the time LOL... My OCD is tickling me into running a 2nd 8AN Teflon hose all the way down and removing the 2x OEM hardlines. My other side of my brain is telling me to run 2x hardlines front to back (also acts as a fuel cooler, so win win).
    • As I mentioned in an earlier post, I had some trouble with the Silvia's brakes dragging back in 2023. I managed to sort it out then, but the same problem came back to bite me late last year. Just take a look at the picture – I had a feeling the handbrake was acting up again, and I was right. Anyway, I'd been wanting to upgrade to bigger brakes for a while. Not that the Silvia's brakes were bad, but it was more of a "want" than a "need", you know? It was funny, though – at the time, I couldn't find any Evo Brembos, 350Z Brembos, or GTR Brembos for a decent price (of course, tons of them popped up online after I already bought my kit!). I ended up going with an F50 Brembo kit, which came with adapters, brake lines, 330mm rotors, and top hats. The F50 Brembo caliper was used in a few other cars too, like the FPV. I also decided this was the perfect opportunity to ditch the Silvia's ridiculous rear brakes and that awful handbrake (some of you were definitely right about that!). I picked up some R33 calipers and all the necessary bits – rear drums, backing plates, and new hardware to refurbish the calipers. Of course, it wouldn't be a project without a few hiccups. Turns out the brake master cylinder was playing up and basically (to put it simply) keeping the brakes engaged. I had it overhauled, and after some adjustments, everything was working again. The whole process took a while, as you can imagine. To top it off, the front right wheel bearings were shot and needed replacing too. This is a rare occasion where I'm posting an update while it's all still fresh! These pictures were taken just this afternoon.
