More that I was asking about the engine pushing water.

Oh last time I went roll racing the engine lifted the head and started pushing water out the over flow on boost 

Adam is a gun, you’re in good hands. PPG does not have provisions for reverse lights so they won’t work. You still have the switch on the outside of the box, but there’s nothing internally to trigger it. 
this is what I was told, after the PPG was fitted! Lol 
You will be amazed how fast it shifts compared to a synchro box.  

I trust Adam and he’s kind of close to home which is great. 
 

There’s no external switch on mine but on the gear indicator box there’s a wire marked reverse light +ve and I’m assuming that triggers the reverse lights,

I drove it on the jack stands to make sure all the gears were there and the neutral lock was working correctly. Guess is should pull it off the stands

What cams are you using? 

I’m in 2 minds on what I want to do for the cams, mainly revolving around weather to keep the vcam or not 

It’s definitely seen that way and does add plenty of low down torque and response, but if I’m going to do this much to the head and etc, do I take full advantage of the extra flow and get some cams in there with plenty of lift?

Yeah, tough decision, but if you got it, probably best to stick with the V cam? If you want more flow, strap a bigger turbo to it 😁👍🏼

I did have someone recommend a 6870 but the 6466 is lots of fun and still has a lot more to give

64/66 is perfect, with the V cam would be quite responsive as well, perfect set up, just fix the head and turn it up! 
what power did you last make? 
I can get you a drive in a GTR with a 64/66 turned all the way up and backed by a PPG sequential if you want an idea of what it’s capable of. Just shoot me a pm if you’re interested.

It made 465 at 27psi according to the dyno sheet but the run finished at 6,600rpm due to a cooler hose popping so would be making a bit more at 8,000. 

id be keen on that, I’ll flick you a pm by this afternoon

Regrind the vcam? Best of both worlds

    • My take on gg2 48mm, 54mm, 58mm, and 62mm compressor map for same size compressor vs gg1 : All gg2 only outflow gg1 above 20 psi. As all g gen 2 surge line at lower left of comp map move to the right, all gg2 sacrifice spool vs same size gg1, surge line move to the right worst for 54mm gg2. So for same size compressor if you want best response, use gg1, if you want max hp at >20psi use gg2 but you will be laggier vs same size gg1. Max compressor efficiency drops to max 75% on all gg2 vs max 76%-80% of same size gg1. Iirc lower efficiency means hotter iat less dense air so lower hp at same operating point of comp map. Also curious why gg2 is mapped to lower max rpm vs same size gg1 (only 48mm size both gg1 gg2 mapped to same rpm) : 54mm gg1 165,000 rpm  vs  gg2 160,000 rpm. 58mm gg1 150,000 rpm vs gg2 140,000rpm. 62mm gg1 145,000 rpm vs gg2 140,000 rpm. If gg2 can safely spin to gg1 rpm then they can flow a bit more than as mapped. Good thing that all gg 2 interchange compressor and turbine housings with same size gg 1. So gg1 owners can buy gg2 chra only if planning to boost >20psi.
    • My stuff is all with Shannon's, granted, I don't really have imports I'm driving on the road, however, I've had multiple cars at the same time with them. Presently we have the Landcruiser on laid up cover, Sarah's Kluger on full cover, and the house insured. About 18 months ago Sarah wrote her Subaru Liberty GTB off, insured with Shannon's, and the payout, and buy back of the wreck was super quick. In 2020 we had the VF Commodore totalled in a major hailstorm. Storm was on the Saturday, I called on the Sunday and lodged it, vehicle was towed on Tuesday night, assessment team called on Wednesday to say it was a total loss and get payout details, money was in the bank on Thursday morning. Have had a few other claims both at fault, and not at fault, over the years, and never had an issue with them.   Funnily enough, they're also the cheapest insurer I find for things like Sarah's Kluger.   I will say I'm less impressed dealing with them lately around "the experience", as a lot of their staff that you deal with aren't car enthusiasts. Shannon's has a much more main stream feel ever since they decided to become "big corporate", laid a heap of staff off, and then hired a bunch of non enthusiasts. At the same time they've been making a push to be less "call us and we'll personally have someone who cares help" to "hey, this computer can do stuff for you" and are trying to get more square pegs to fit round holes. (That's just the vibe I get from them). Again, have had no issues with claims with them, but get a bit of a "less personal" feel from them.
    • A thing I wasn’t happy with with enthusiast was during the initial phone call they told me they’d insure it for 130k but needed photos.   I then sent them photos and they told me $80k as there were other cars either similar modifications available for around that price, I told them to send me the links to said cars so that I can buy them. i then sent the modification list with prices of the parts (no labor) and the price then came to 115k, which is still shy of the 130 that was agreed in the initial phone call 
    • Ask me a bit later this week before payday
    • I agree that delayed payment probably isn't the most suitable solution. It seems a solid complete transaction would be best. As I wouldn't be using this sale as a line of credit that would typically earn interest, we can probably arrange a much cleaner single transaction deal. I can do $92.52 today. Would you prefer EFT, or Cash on Pickup?  😛
