Thanks for the input guys. At the moment it looks like im sold on the 7175 (GT42) turbo.. Ive decided to lower down my power goal to something more streetable (650kw),

GTX4202R

I could go that, but im leaning onto the Precision atm.. My friend is getting his car tuned this week (26/30) with the 7175 (GT42) 1.12 a/r im curious to see what kind of figure he puts out. Im going to use his car as a guideline.. I know of someone who also has a 26/32 with a GTX4202R his making 630awkw on 29psi and he claims that he gets full boost at 4500rpm.

I would check the prices, and check rebuilding costs before making a decision......then take it from there.

We went precision 7175 ONLY because we go it new for a ridiculously low price after someone abandened their drag build and it was perfect for what we were targeting.

I would have prefered the 7175 GT42 style though.....

Edit, nothing in my inbox Sedat

If I knew a gt42 would hit full boost by 4500rpm I would of brought one instead of my 6766 for my new engine :( oh well

Coming on boost or at full boost Sedat?

Ask him for the dyno graph, what compression and cams he is running.

Would be interesting to see 29Psi at 4500Rpm.

If true then our 7175 with .96 housing will be on song earlier or about the same being a 3.0 bottom end if compression and cams are similar.

You can look at you compressor map all you like

I'll look at cars running 8s in street trim

Yes I don't disagree that results are important but results coupled with choosing the right compressor from a map is the ideal scenario.

I am interested to know why people choose otherwise, if they cannot offer any other reason other than they saw a result on the internet then that is fine with me.

No he is not ignoring, thank you for the suggestions, he has just pulled back and watching.

My last words to him last time we spoke were sit back and wait to hear and see more results for the 6870, dont rush in now as its still early.

As is said to him, could be what he was looking for.

His turbo and manifold purchase will be made last, now he has his RB32 bottom end to be built, his head is ready, then study results and pick the turbo.......

That is the way it should be done!

  • 3 weeks later...

not real smart, the camshafts should always be chosen when the turbos chosen, unless your conservative, which you

havnt been..

the motor is way over cammed for anything smaller than a gt45 with a big hotside, your just costing yourself

response for no reason at all..

cheers

Hes certainly not being conservative.

Cams were chosen by the engine builder and cam manufacturer based on his Nitto 2.8 stroker and planned use, now with the 3.2 its changed the game, cams will be simple enough to swap over when the time is right should he want more bottom end.

Remember he built it one way, then sold the bottom end to go 3.2 so some chages to the head may be needed.

    • I suppose that's true. Barring almost any situation, I'll never sell so what the market does is kind of irrelevant to me. It's possible I'd make most of my money back. That spreadsheet I mentioned? Maybe I could make back more than what the car's total costs thus far are, but the parts and all that is possibly a different story... Thanks for reading. It was certainly a good moment and just makes the ties to the car that much stronger. It's exciting that the option will be there to bring it over, however I have some plans with a shop that may end up keeping the car there longer, not sure. Coupled with the fact I want to move there and haven't solidified any path yet. So in a way, it feels like I'm in a limbo state that is uncertain; time will tell.
    • No worries, everything worked out in the end. I just wanted to make the point that it doesn't matter where it comes from (I.E Australia), it can be broken or improperly built. I would still purchase from these companies in the future. B2R - Not certain how that finished, this was on a car I wired a few things and street tuned. I know the owner ended up shipping the motor back to Australia for investigation. Hopefully some of it is covered under warranty.  Turbosmart - I always pressure test everything that goes on my car. It's a habit from my career in oil and gas. I run two 40mm's and both had major leaks from the actuator to exhaust portion through the shaft. I returned both, they shipped me back two and one was leaking and the other had a 38mm top (40mm gate with 38mm actuator cap, no idea how that happens). Eventually after a lot of back and forth I found myself with two non-leaking gates. I believe this happens a lot more then people would like to believe but you would never know if you don't pressure test them prior to installation. Crank Motorsport - Issued a full refund and let me keep the seat rails. I turned them into scrap metal for other projects. GKTech - Shipped me out a replacement and asked that I modify it as per my idea and that they would do the same for a future revision. ATP - Can just needed a large shim to bolt up properly.  Haltech - They started an actual proper Beta channel for firmware's a few months back and stopped using the general public for testing. I'm now much happier.  Speedtek - f**k Speedtek. I would love to watch them burn.     
    • I've got a Turbosmart wastegate, ATP catch can, many GK Tech parts and Haltech everything. Everything's been perfect, sorry to hear your experience wasn't the same
    • The only high-power RB I've personally seen go pop after running for all of an hour on a dyno was built by B2R, while being remotely tuned by B2R. The only wastegates I've ever had leak like a sieve, return, still leak, return and get shipped back the wrong ones were from Turbosmart. The only final drive that I've ever purchased that were unusable, twice... were from Speedtek. The only seat mounts that I've ever purchased that placed the seats in the door frame were from Crank Motorsport. The only poorly designed parts that I had the manufacturer confirm should have been designed as per what I mentioned were from GKTech. The only ECU I've had firmware updates consistently break things are Haltech. The only catch can I've purchased that didn't fit in its advertised spot was from ATP. So forth and so on... Moral of the story, doesn't matter where it's from. Do your research beforehand and stick with products and companies you've trusted in the past.    @joshuaho96 If you want it done right, do it yourself.
