I did consider the 20g also, but might not make the 280-300kw I want with a turn flow. And if it did I would need a few more psi. Dori33 and I went to a drift day and he has a 20g and it got super hot. So running slightly less psi will hopefully drop the temps a little.

plus by the time u setup an external gate its going to cost you another 600..

HG turbos are known to be reliable..I know theres alot if drifters down here using them..

The varying results you see are usually to do with setup not the turbo

I'll be going external gate whatever Turbo I go. As it transfers excess heat away from the exhaust wheel and won't create turbulence. That cost has already been covered. Thanks for the input. I may consider a 20g.

Ahh ok..just don't mount the gate on the exhaust manifold..its crap :P

what makes you say its crap?

making claims without any proof, i can say that mounting the gate on the turbo housing is crap too.

just changed over to the anti-surge slot front housing, changes the induction noise completely, sounds pretty good.

feels slightly more responsive in 3rd. going to Jez in 2 wks for touch up tune, hopefully can completely rid of the light surge in 4th and hit 21psi.

Video or ban! :P Fingers crossed for MOAR good things when the higher boost goes through it!!

2 weeks you say eh? I just might have to meet up with you there!!

Hes taking the piss.

yeah i hope so too, otherwise just leave it as is and time to enjoy.

hows your car going?

Still waiting, another week or two i think.... And YES we will have to organise a cruise.... Kando vs Garrett cruise? :P

Vs HKS once Im on E85 as well...

Perfect :thumbsup: Just need to corrupt Dori onto it as well......... Hanaldo will have to come here for that as WA sucks apparently :sick:

    • It was roughly 3.5 hours.    car went in around 11:00 and I was done around 2:30 He did the initial runs, install the BC and then Nistune install and tune.  The best part was sitting in the lobby and hearing the skyline on full throttle at the dyno 😂😂
    • Glad it all went smooth. How long did the tuning process take?
    • Yeah that was kind of the same feedback my tuner gave me.  the boost tee is until I can sort out my plan for the electronic boost controller and what I’d get, where I’d mount the dash etc.  I’m happy with this until I can figure it out. Not a big fan of the A-pillar gauges. I’d like to get a clean install of the boost gauge - something digital like GFB.  Something like that might fit neatly where the ashtray is and look clean. I feel like replacing the OEM triple gauge is a bit extreme for a weekender like my skyline. And it’s not making crazy power to need all the additional sensors/gauges. 
    • I'm about to swap my box to Tremec T56 Magnum F & initially thinking of re-using my DCS twin plate (can get it re centred for the bigger spline) but it's been called out the box will be noisy (rattle) as the clutch is unsprung.  So I'm doing as much research as possible. I'm not so worried about holding the power as I'll go the track version which on paper will hold the maybe 1000hp I make. It's the longevity I worry about. DCS told me they don't use a sprung centre as it's just something that can break. The uni clutch has a very complicated sprung centre. Any one had or heard about any issues with it failing? Thanks in advance.
    • Auto is at least 10% (from my real, actual experience with different torque converters and manual on the same setup) ~185rwkw at 11.6psi (peak!) is entirely what one would expect without a FMIC or anything else on the intake, it does bleed off towards the higher RPM so it's what, 9psi there? Note: There is nothing that can be done about this with a manual boost tee. If you want to hold it steady and gain more top end, well - You will need electronic boost control.....
