Precision Billet Turbos


Recommended Posts

Interesting to note the SR22VET is superior on all accounts. Its over half a litre smaller.

It goes to show that cylinder head technology pays out a lot more than cubes.

I think there is more to it than that - compare it with similar sized smaller and "higher performance" wheels to an HKS T04Z, and even the larger (and older tech) HKS T51R Kai on an RB28 running pump gas: kaibb%26%2Bto4z%2Bpower.jpg

Going by that, a T04Z spools better than both turbos - and a T51R Kai is not far off them at all.

Regardless, yeah - SR22VET is way up there in terms of efficiency, while RBs are not so much... by todays standards.

The head on Ninos's engine is top shelf and costs more $$ than what most people are prepared to pay, hence a nice result. That and his engine is a result of endless testing by Advance Motor mechanics and associated companies/people.

Its is all about combo rather than bolting on an "awesome" turbo and expecting to get the same results as others.

Glad to see we agree.

I was not implying the VET head alone is all the difference, but the technology implemented in that cylinder head is clearly a winner. That means both the factory VET side of things and the work the said firms have put towards it.

Lith when I look at those graphs I still see that the RB28 you posted is behind. I typically look for the point where the incline starts to nose over and I consider that to be the point where the motor has hit its threshold. The said VET is hitting that point at 4,700 whereas the RB28 you posted is 5100 on one of the turbos and 5500 on the other.

Obviously there are only hundreds of RPM in it for vastly older tech turbos but I think it notable to consider the big difference in capacity between the two motors. Plus, my comments were actually specific to the two results shown rather than general. I am more than confident that we can find a VET result which is shadowed by an RB.

Agree Ninos engine is sensational and I'm expecting similar results with mine but isn't that RB28 on 93 octane? If so then not really a like for like comparison or even comparable IMO.

Those turbos on 93 octane are not going to perform anywhere there capability on any engine let alone that one.

Yeah definitely, the thing that really does impress me about it is that power is huge for a 64mm compressor on pump gas - I reckon. I'm not sold on the power delivery, though - I think there are competitors which would do that with better delivery at this stage.

Went out again last night with new suspension, looking forward to a prepped track and getting the car to hook up. Ran a PB on lower trap speed and a slower 60ft so that's a good start! 2730lb, only thing removed was the passenger seat and side pipe fitted. Looking forward to get this thing to hook up so we can tap out the 7175!

Different angle with incar

    • Surprisingly the D6000 is only $1999, I'm waiting for the BF/CM sales, and hoping to get one cheaper. D4000 is well priced, still outperforms the 13" SVS PB-3000 and is like 1/2 the price at $1699 RRP. I do watch a fair amount of movies, and listen to EDM, jazz, symphonies, etc. so the lower notes from a subwoofer are always appreciated. The front 8" stage, just doesn't provide you with lively feeling, even though they are pretty bassy for a pair of large bookshelves. Then again, these days it's just playing Wiggles, Blippi and Ms Rachel, another reason the 3m wide cabinet exists, to hide all the audio gear behind it. They used to sit on a nice pair of stands, but as you know, they make good baby traps too.
    • Granted, which is a solid reason why I don't have one. My floorstanders are only -2 dB at 22 Hz.  So they're still working down to <20 Hz. Which is no doubt part of the reason why my receiver shits the bed! That Tonewinner would be about double the cost though, so it's not apples and apples. There aren't many AU$1300 subs (that you can buy prebuilt, I'm ignoring what can be achieved by DIYing) that compete.
    • -6dB at 22Hz isn't that great, watch the data from the D6000 from REW
    • I'll just leave this here. https://www.adelaidespeakers.com/subwoofers.html TL loading, big power. They sound awesome. This is what I would buy if I was going to try to take the bass away from my floorstanders. Just go with the 12".
    • I'll snap up some photos when I'm back home, in the office today meeting my "in the office" quota. Have 2x Teams calls scheduled in, office culture they reckon.   I've never owned a proper off the shelf sub, I've always made or modified broken ones with Jaycar plate amps and/or car subwoofer drivers. The current (and broken) subwoofer has a proper home driver in it, Dayton driver, thos one https://www.daytonaudio.com/product/118/rss265hf-4-10-reference-hf-subwoofer-4-ohm FS of 25Hz, which is low but not low enough. Yeah, I think they were brought out to the market to compete with SVS. I would love a SVS PB-3000 but they're not cheap, especially after their price hike. From reviews online, it does look like the Tonewinner D6000 would destroy and with good amount of money saved too.
