Wish I recognized the car and came said hello at the SAU Nats. Loving the results coming out of this community lately it's insane.

Makes me want to push 11ty boost into my little turbo till it runs out of puff

This is true, alot of big horse power cars kicking around now, especially in sydney...

hey Joey, what cat you running? may have missed it...

4" exhaust?

Hi Dan, exhuast is tapered out from the back of the turbo to a 4 inch all the way to the cat and including the cat. The rest is 3.5inch

The cat is a "high flow" cat :)

Good to hear Nick,

just remember that the turbo is going to sit very high.. especially on a 30 block

I have a bit of room to spare even with the extra deck height. Out of interest have you guys seen any precision results bettering the usual garrett options or is it still just hype? I keep looking for reasons to change but there are precious few results.

Interesting to see how this goes.

More specific details of the setup?

The details are in the build thread but it's basically a std stroke built 30, 26 head with big'ish cams, full race 'power' manifold and all the supporting stuff.

From what I have seen they usually come up with a bit better results that the Garrett equivalent. Nothing earth shattering but a little. I think the big test for me will be my GTR on a dyno that has a lot of other results on file to compare with :)

Well after seeing the power it made on pump on low boost (around 375rwkw) i would have thought it would have made more power...

but by the time we played with the cam gears and got boost coming on nice and early we lost that little bit up top

at the end of the day the front fan is only 60mm and for it to make that power with that kind of response, i couldnt have asked for much more really :)

Absolutely, hardly a disappointing number considering the spool and the price of the turbo - just advertising would suggest that it will match or beat the performance of a GT3582R but it looks a bit more like it is more or less comparable with but definitely not likely to outperform. Again, no shame in that for something not much over half the price that looks and sounds awesome :D

That will be interesting, is that likely to happen? An outfit I know is doing a Precision PT6766 and a Forced Performance GT3794R HTA on the otherwise equivalent setup car - an 4G63 unfortunately, but should give a general idea. Will be interesting to see if the Precision turbos are matching the performance of the HTAs.

I don't think they have done any HTA's but millions of GT3582R, GTX3582R and T04Z's etc

Here's a video of Joey's car at the Dyno Day yesterday. I think he mentioned it was running about E60.

Sound isn't great but at least it doesn't blow out too bad. Best to click HD and watch it that way (I uploaded a full 1080HD version but even Vimeo trims it down to 720).

    • I've unfortunately never been as they're on the complete other side of the continent and another country that isn't currently letting us in as easily as they use to. I even heard their stop signs over there actually say "Stop" instead of "Arret". If I decided to trek the 48h drive, I wouldn't know when or where to stop haha. Whenever I order parts from UP Garage, I order from Japan as it's cheaper. Same with GKTech... oddly enough, it's cheaper shipped from Australia then it is the US.  UP Garage Japan operates their US leg though, unlike Tomei. If Tomei JPN had the power to close down Tomei USA, I'm sure it would be done in a day. They're two completely separate entities. Tomei JPN messed up somewhere originally agreeing to its creation and got sacked big time. 
    • I asked someone about this and he told me about the Audi 1.8T engine. But I think it would be difficult to swap
    • I don't know that machine specifically, but I'd personally go for something with a little more kick than 130amp. Around up to 180 would be good. At the 6mm range, you're really pushing the machine hard and don't have a long period you can run for with out needing to give it a rest. Lots of MIG machines come with a regulator and hose. A lot will come with a starter roll of wire too, but it isn't too expensive to buy. I'd recommend NOT buying a massive roll too, as you don't want it sitting around FOREVER in the machine between uses and potentially going to shit. For thin sheet metal, get a roll of 0.6mm if you're doing over 3mm and above, switch over to 0.8mm wire. Even by 2mm you'd probably really want to switch. As for gas battle, it's all swap and go style now. You'll pay a bottle deposit, and then X amount to swap for a full one. I think it's like $200 or $300 for a D Size bottle upfront as "deposit", and like $110 to $150 per swap. My D size CO2/argon bottle lasts a fair bit of welding on the MIG. And I run an E size bottle on the TIG. For DIY MIG, stick with a D size bottle. If you really start to get into a LOT of welding and doing it really regularly, then upgrade. If you're like most DIY car guys, one D bottle will last you 2 or 3 years easily. I think I've been on my current bottle about 5 years. It is starting to get low, but I've been smashing it a lot more the last 6 months.
    • SR20s came with cars like the Bluebird and Primera, but the RB20 never came. The ones in Turkey were either brought in specially or from abroad. That's why RBs aren't as common as SRs. And if a part breaks or I need to replace it when doing maintenance, it's harder to find parts for RBs.
    • I would suggest equally difficult to find, perhaps edging to the SR. Turkey has almost exclusively Euro market cars, some Korean, few Japanese other than pedestrian shite. I guess they're probably losing the fight against Chinese shit like we are now too. I would vote for a BMW V8, found in a 540i in a wrecking yard somewhere in Deutschland (or possibly Albania).
