Precision Billet Turbos


Recommended Posts

  • 3 weeks later...

My GTR is 99% fabbed up. The twin gate was a mission to plumb back in. 0320830d.jpg124d67d4.jpg

The R34 is primed up and once i wire in the 7 bar map sensor and eflex sensor its ready for tuning.

Where is the flex join Jez? Exhaust looks good other than that.

I have never used a flex join on my exhausts scotty. The dump pipes are very secure near the gearbox. Plus it will test out the 6boost manifolds strength :)

Mitcho im hoping for 400kw from mine and 350+ from the R34 with 5558.

The main thing im aiming for is response. Well as much as possible with a 400kw turbo. I will be tuning mine with stock cams for now. Then poncams, then when the headgasket pops i will look at variable intake cam and port work. I will be testing the bottom end on my 26. If it lets go i will worry about it then.

Brilliant attitude!

Hope it all goes well, they're both going to be flex fuel aren't they or is it just yours?

I always run a flex in the screamer pipe as the expansion between off gate and on causes the pipes to move too much. The gate pipes are cold then become white hot as the gate opens. (get a video of it on the dyno, its impressive.) It will most probably crack at the base where it joins the dump and load up the gates and manifold/studs like you said. Bugger removing it all for repairs to save the $20 a two inch flex costs.

Thanks Scotty i will look into them tomorrow. Is easily added onmy car but on the 34 the wastagate pipes is only 2 inches long and turns 90 degrees in the 2inches.

Have u seen any crack due to the reason stated?

Besides mine will be on gate more not haha. Dyno time then trailer to circuit.

Here's hoping you can crack a 10 mate, it will be a nice setup.

I have seen one crack a stainless manifold within an hour on the dyno. (that was with a venting screamer.) I also watched my exhaust grow longer by over 2 inches and glow red at the tip. I can just imagine the stresses on the tubing up the hot end.

That sounds pretty wild, bet Jez is glad you mentioned this prior to him getting them on the dyno

It isn't really an issue if you like pulling the parts back off to weld them but I bet its a job and a half to fit. I just did a split 6boob install and it was a pita, especially the gate position. I fabbed it all in the car though.

    • I am currently going this route. I am curious how much horse power you put behind the cut bell housing? Collins was telling me I am going to crack it and bluh bluh bluh. Because I didn’t buy the custom fly wheel from him. I am looking for somewhere around like 500 hp
    • Forgot to mention that these are the before pics when I first got it!
    • Thanks @PranK for the updated member status, much appreciated! 👍🏼 Now, about those pics… Unfortunately I could only find ones that I took in the dark. I was soon to discover that underneath it wasn’t in the best shape, but it was mine and that’s all I cared about at the time 😆
    • Oh, and only having done this task yesterday, I've now driven the car ~60km since, and while it is hard to avoid placebo effect and confirmation bias, I reckon that some annoyances I had with the way the car has been behaving have improved. Which....kinda makes sense, I guess. If the bushes were really stiff and resisting rotation, they would have been contributing to the effective wheel rate. And if it was more so on one side (which it was, because one side was worse than the other) then.... you might imagine that the additional rate would be asymmetric, and potentially even different between compression and rebound. And so... the car has been twitchy at higher speeds - like freeway on ramps. It really shouldn't be. The wheel alignment is good and there are no (other) known problems elsewhere in the suspension. But at 90-100 on a long sweeping ramp, tiny steering wheel motions would make it feel like it wanted to rear steer. Quite nervous. At lower speeds it would heave about in a manner that it didn't use to. Didn't want to put power down, etc etc. Now...seems to behave better. Am going to have to concentrate on the various corners where it has exhibited weirdness, on the rare occasions when I can get a decent run at them without Methanial getting in the way in his D-Max/Ranger/LDV Van/etc.
