I agree with this sometimes in the case of boredom, but now that my car is where I want it modification wise, I have no desire to modify further but still want to keep it.

Best if you can modify a car 'properly' not long after you buy it, that way if you keep it a few years you will get some good use out of the mods, and not blow your cash.

Unfortunately some workshops/owners don't know what the good mods are.

3076R Low doesn't look TOOOOO different to a stock turbo ;) Considering I'm without a heatshield at the moment anyway. Dat noise tho, pppsssssssss

Edit: Hmmmm, what do they make on E85? 330rwkw?

Buy my entire setup.

GTX 3076 will make 450kw or so on the right setup. Greg made 380 with his auto... return flow, stock airboc, 3 inch dump and intake. Stock officer. Personally I would go with the gtx71 for some extra response.

Garrett list them at 230-390kw

Go hypergear bro. Cheaper, local support and some really nice turbos on their menu lately.

i call bullshit on 450... no offense scotty.... but seriously what is that like 100psi?

Apparently 45psi, someone has done it on a SR20.

That said, was in a magazine. I was sceptical, but given I got 405 on 28ish psi, I see no reason that 15 extra psi wouldn't result in 50kw...

Inb4 stao

Inb4 toby's 400kw

HG turbo checking in, 15,000km and spinning like the day it was put in

I'm not saying they don't work but really they are not very much if at all cheaper than Garretts and due to having a plain bearing core you do lose some response(and that cool whirr down noise after the cars turned off :P) I just don't see them as excellent value for money.

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
