Nice triple post Artz ya spammer now you only have to put up with my internet he said she said for the rest of this week mate till I get Jez to my workshop and under the bonnet of my car this Saturday hahaha :nyaanyaa:

Even MTQ didnt know anything bout that sonic housing other than that it wasnt a AVO housing and that they are made by Mtq in adelaide apparently?????

Yeah i got cold feet from all the negative feedback bout these housings Artz and took everybodies advice...................... EVENTUALLY anyways :whistling:

yeah you wont regret it thats for sure...I was just really interested to see what it would do :/

chances are it wouldnt have made 300kw on pulp..but it would be a solid perfprmer regardless.

.

The thing I dont undestand is why do these companies keep selling these housings if they have been proven not to work?

i mean is the market for a housing that bolts on to a shitty stock dump pipe but doesnt perform really that big to justify their continued production...?

Just seems there is a lot of heresay and dyno evidence of them not performing so well but how much worse do they actually perform in comparison on the road...is there half a second in it on a drag strip or .1...

i would really like to know.. :unsure:

Yeah i agree mate but i didnt really wanna be the guinea pig with this housing. If it was a .75 like they are saying it woulda been responsive and still make decent numbers too and filled the void between the .63 and the .82 with what i have now is a proven recipe i guess so i thought i wouldnt change the recipe and hopefully get the most outta my ride that i can with all the hard earnt ive thrown at it :thumbsup:

No one says they don't work. The issue is that they seem to choke >450hp compressors. If Mick wanted to buy a GT3071 with this type of housing then I would expect it to work quite well. Once you move into the next size up there is a risk that you pay the premium for the sexy compressor and get the performance of something smaller (and cheaper) anyway.

yes well if your paying someone to install you made the right decision...last thing you want is to fork out for another days labour to swap it when it didnt work..

See Im a spanner man, I would of done all the labour myself so the loss isnt so great... ;)

and yes turbo swap and servise in a day is possible..im a muppet with a bag f tools and I can do it in my carport.

So should be a no brainer for Jez.

      This lady loved her FD for 25 years!  https://www.topspeed.com/80-year-old-woman-donates-fd-rx-7-mazda/ My brother in law. He's nice enough to let me drive it whenever. He'll likely not see this, but I'll try: @r-is-for-fun got any pics?

      Just something I found searching for more info on Emotion R, apparently the ECR33 Skyline GTS25t was either originally black, or there were two of them, the black one being the original demo car, then building a white one which was part of the 1997-onwards (to at least 2008!) Cockpit Tatebayashi Tokyo Auto Salon booth demo cars. It appears that Emotion R closed down in 2008 and was declared bankrupt in 2010: http://bank-db.com/hasan/208365. Scan of a magazine with the black R33 from 1996: Wayback machine archived page from May, 2000: https://web.archive.org/web/20000529061027/http://www.emotion-r.co.jp/skyline.html Option magazine with a few photos from the Cockpit Tatebayashi booth at the Auto Salon from various years: 2002: http://www.jdm-option.com/photo/index.php?action=item&category_id=154&image_id=3507 2003: http://www.jdm-option.com/photo/index.php?action=item&category_id=137&image_id=3033 2005: http://www.jdm-option.com/photo/index.php?action=item&category_id=116&image_id=1831 In 2008 Cusco website mentions that the Cockpit Tatebayashi ECR33 was displayed at that year's Tokyo Auto Salon: https://www.cusco.co.jp/event/2008/12/post_735.html As of 2021 it appears that the ECR33 demo car ended up being exported to Florida, USA: https://rmcmiami.com/inventory/1996-nissan-skyline-r33-cockpit-tatebayashi-demo-car-big-te06-turbo-endless-brakes-lsd-450hp/ And finally here's Google streetview of the Emorion R garage in 2023 which is amazingly not only still there, but the showroom is still full of various parts in stock and funishings, etc.: https://maps.app.goo.gl/ttyEAZdZLyzermyT9 Apologies for nerding out a bit. I used to love doing this 20 years ago on SAU and got a bit nostalgic for a moment... 😅

      Try fabricating something like this and install it under the pedals? Not sure if it's legal or not....
