Voodoo, out of curiosity, what did that whole exercise set you back? I wouldn't imagine it would have been cheap.

It would be more than a bit disappointing for sure!

Whats the plan now? Will you leave the twins on there for a while?

Will PM you

I think I would have you in my old school -9 setup mate. Bummer to see.

Would one of those cores fit into a T28 housing... My Silvia might like it

Yes, i am dissapoint son..

Well, they might be up for sale soon lol

Don't feel bad. You tried something and you reported back honest results. Much respect from me.

I try to do the same but this place can be hostile sometimes lol

Hopefully you recover as much of the outlay as possible and onto something better (if this result can't be improved to your satisfaction).

I still have my -9's so it's tempting to just chuck them back on, go E85, Kelford cams :-) :-)

Dont do that lol! Throw a 7670 on it and make more power EVERYWHERE!

Sell 9s and HKS frankenfails which will pretty much cover the manifold gates.

Also go 1.05 rear mate ?

When you make a PHAT 380-400kw with stock cams & E85 with better than or close to stock twins response COME TAKE ME FOR A SPIN! ?

mmmm, good read......as always on SAU

Certainly makes me question doing a similar thing I've been toying with for some time now (have my -7's rebuilt with -9 rears and -5 fronts :-/).....staying low mount twins no matter what...

Was also looking at using a mob in Sydney to do the turbo job who replied the same to you :13_upside_down:

Edited by mr_rbman

I honestly dont think there is any magical combination that will work better than the old GT series -7s to -5s for the stock low mount setup unfortunately. There are just too many issues working against them. I have to say i agree with Lithium and say probably only the GTX2860 wheel would maybe just still have enough turbine flow for that compressor. 

Just makes me wonder though. 

Does anybody actually know if the billet GTX wheels are lighter than the cast GT wheels? Is it really worth it?

-9 rears with -5 fronts are hks2510s pretty much, some people think theyre ok.

i really dont think the billet wheels are different enough to be worth the hassle to change into gtr specific housings though

mmmmm, so really if i'm set on staying low mount twins but chasing more power & (same response (ish) than -7 power, i may as well just follow what ActionDan has done and get some -9's, cams & E85!?!?

 

What I had initially planned:

I have picked up a set of -7's (one blown) cheap as i suspect I have a failed turbo seal with one of my -7's.

I was thinking of selling off the two good -7's and rebuilding the two failed ones but try and chase more power (currently 310rwkws @ 18-20PSI....) thinking/hoping high 300's...

Sorry to thread hi-jack, just didn't think this warranted a new thread...

Hypergear can essentially "highflow" a -9 as well, with a bigger billet comp wheel for some more grunt. 

 

 

This would be interesting. Wonder if it would turn out anything like my GTX2863 debacle lol?

I suppose they would keep to the same trim/inducer and exducer size rather than going huge comp wheel, but just give it a billet wheel?

Pretty much i'd imagine. Still don't think it would be worth the actual cost to do it anymore

A friend made 365awkw wtih -7's on E85 and 25psi on a good motor. I'd say if you really do want more then its time to get -5s

    • It's the adhesive holding the ceramic wheel to the shaft the fails on 90% of them.
    • Foreign debris, physical shock, boost leak, could be anything honestly. The danger in taking all the timing out of a tune/hitting the R&R corner is that even if the engine doesn't detonate your turbo is taking a lot of abuse from high EGT. Also, even if nothing goes wrong it is a journal bearing that is spinning at 100k RPM on boost. Eventually it goes through enough cold start/pressure cycles to wear it out.
    • I kinda accidentally saw this, and was interested, but It actually seems to replaces the whole center computer, using the existing screen and buttons. AND it may only be for a G37 and not compatible with a Japanese 370. So its not for me, but someone else may be interested to look into it. Its about $680USD. If I am understanding it right, it basically replaces/installs and android pc that integrates with the existing screen. But I could be wrong. https://gromaudio.com/vline/ The video I first saw was the following, with very little and unclear details.     Even if your not interested in the system, the video on their site was pretty comforting in showing how simple the whole centre comes out
    • hfygrte52 what side you looking for? Do you care what color car it's off? Found a white LH side on here: https://skylinespares.com.au/product/nissan-skyline-r33-coupe-rear-tail-light/   Aussie parts place but will ship to USA. Maybe get it before there's a tarrif on 25yo shit box parts
    • I’m with Shannon’s for all 5 of our cars. Agreed values seem fair, premium price is okay. ($210 ish a month, all comprehensive).  Have claimed once with them for a not at fault claim with another car where my car had no damage. Was one call after the incident and an email after. Deemed not at fault so premium didn’t go up either.    I have called up and spoken with people who are not familiar with certain cars and didn’t agree with me on value or let their personal vehicle preferences effect the call. But called back later and got someone else who was more agreeable.
