Precision Billet Turbos


Recommended Posts

I rekon be it myself I would go a 5858. Apparently they have a broader powerband than the 5558.

OOFT CUZ OOOFT.

If you went in a car with a 5558 you would be happy enough not to worry ;)

I have heard back from the seller - $980 incl shipping, good price I reckon. So now I need to get all the specifics back to him. 5558 CEA Billet T3 V-band 0.63a/r, Type 'S' cover (4" in and 2.5" out). Surge slotted inlet or ported? Faark theres so many options. Please correct the specs for me haha.. Looking at you Jase, you know all this lol..

And 5858 ahhh maaan you guys confusing me grrrrrrr...please dont say thats better with a broader power band, I dont wana go research '5558 vs 5858 now. Just a tad worried on the 0.63a/r as I know with the 3076r, people go the 0.82 generally.

So you are getting a plain bearing 5558? How much laggier are they than the BB ones?

Yes a journal bearing - I did many read-ups, the ball bearing options are not much more responsive for a lot more $$, the Unigroup boys convinced me these 5558s are very identical to the 3076r in spool, response and power but walks away after 23psi.

They are similar, so BUY IT NOW

Ok ok, I WILL buy before end of this week, promise, it takes a day to communicate with US sellers due to time difference. But please do me a little favor, confirm/correct my specs listed above a few threads back. ;)

Sent the details to seller and asked him to ensure its a T3 housing and not T3/T4 as advertised on some ebay adverts from others. This is what he said:

"T3 refers to the turbine housing and if you go with an SP cover that is a T4 sized cover so in essence it is a T3/T4. Either way the wheels are what matter"

Please advise if thats a problem as its a bit confusing, I'm itching to buy haha..

He also advised me to make the oil lines in- car so its the required length, I want to get a Kando oil line kit however if that will go on the Precision inlet. - 1/8" npt and -4 oil line recommended by him.

Thanks a lot man, sent him an email requesting a paypal order, job done. Please don't tell me now that the 5858 is slightly better with more power and a better powerband or I might start looking for you hehe :D ................ woohoo no more shopping girl now...

Haha nah man that is congrats! weve all been watching you fret over choice for ages. Its good news that you have taken the plunge!

The 5558 is more responsive than the 5858, so im not about to tell you its the wrong choice as we all know it can make killer power!

    • Nah, yeah, nah. Speakers have a nominal impedance of 8 ohm that looks more like 6.4 ohm when measured. The receiver's amplifiers (all channels) are all rated to 6 ohm (I think, it's been a long time since I cared). The real problem is that many modern class D amps have aggressive protection circuitry that cuts off the fun if they think too much current is being drawn. And with my speakers having series crossovers, as opposed to more typical parallel crossovers, and big TL enclosures, they can certainly dip down to lower impedances at some frequencies and that easily triggers the protection. Pioneer receivers are somewhat famous for it, but even Denon, Onkyo, et al, all have many complaints against them across various models. It only does it when listening to music at high levels. You have to be putting your ears at risk to do it. But sometimes I want to do that. If I was serious about using it as a listening room I'd simply upgrade the amp for the front pair to a nice Rotel or something, and just use the receiver for signal handling and processing - although that would be a bit of a pain in the arse too. Have to switch on more shit, pre-amp volume vs main amp volume, etc etc.
    • yeah pretty much, stopped playing after lightfall, couldnt be bothered with the final shape...  ran that game into the ground for years... bit of a shame.. the  story was awesome. was playing a lot of trials but the hackers became tooo much, ruined the game.

    • I reckon you are 100% right on the money. The only reason I bought Red Sport instead of the base VR30 is that I am investigating racing it in Production Cars, and they require you to run a (mostly) standard car....therefore knowing exactly what was in the RS spec was important to me and I paid the extra. Other than that, for sure I would have pocketed the $10k and spent them on mods instead. Plus the non-RS models are more likely to have had a nicer life prior. Just a warning though, mods always cost twice as much as they look like they will on paper BTW you should also consider the 400R imports, they are about the same price as a local RS but 5+ years newer. Of course that comes with the usual warnings about finding parts, unhelpful nissan dealers and finding insurance
