Only if you want laaaag, dont they use a 3076 chra? Way too big for the stock housings unless you are shooting for 300kw on 98. I would suggest staying as close to stock sized wheels as possible or you will have to factor in thousands in ecu, engine and gearbox mods.

yeah sorry i should have mentioned that

engine mods? nah. gearbox mods? shift kit SHOULD do it. however i notice the US guys are using new TCs to stop overheating. However this is before they do shift kits.

ECU is a necessity anyway, even if its to trim fuel on a stock setup

unless you have some way of controlling everything don't go bigger than a Sierra Stage 1. This is a proven good setup with the VQ25DET.....if you go bigger you WILL have lag issues.

I have the GT30/71 core with the Garrett BB set but I have spent a lot of time and money getting it sorted......only go this way if you find some way of controlling/modifing the Cams and Throttle restriction!

My suggestion is to go with Precision Turbo's in Wetherill Park.....while GCG are OK they have a very noisy barring......to me they don't sound right.

Cool, appreciate your feedback on GCG, i think I'll avoid them.

I'll do some more research and also give Precision a call when the time comes.

Turbo arrived today too, thanks Griffin!

Sold to me!

I ended up paying $100 for it, not sure if that's good or bad but to me it's a great insurance policy to have hi-flowed and ready to go in when the original one packs it in.

Um, no. Back one page you'll see it's sold (to me). thumbsup.gif

Cheers,

Jas

    • 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.....
    • This makes sense. I have 2 so I'll just choose the least favourable child to perform the task.  If all turns to shit, I've still got a spare.  Win-win!
