rebuild your 25, you know where its come from, its brand new... and it wont die on you 6 months down the track.

A 25 can be rebuild to take 300+rwkw for about the price of a 2nd hand 26 anyhow.

Not saying that a 2nd hand RB26 wont last etc, but its more likely than if a motor is fresh

Well the same can be said for New turbos....cant they ash :P

Appaerntly after 3000km new turbos arnt that new anymore ;)

I talked to the guys that tuned the Yellow Supra...didn't realise it was owned by a chick though...no wonder it was kinda out of whack...she choose it herself i think...but that turbo was rated at 800 hp but they managed to only squeze 18psi out of that turbo...was really meant to run 30 pounds of boost...might be back for sydney final...

That is a very sexist comment mate, this forum also has female members that wouldn't appreciate it.

My wife owns a 34 GT-T, so does that mean her car is outta whack too?

Believe it or not some "chicks" know quite a bit about cars [including my wife] - probably more than you do.

I'm not saying that particular girl that owns the yellow supra is a mechanic, I don't know her.

      I am currently going this route. I am curious how much horse power you put behind the cut bell housing? Collins was telling me I am going to crack it and bluh bluh bluh. Because I didn’t buy the custom fly wheel from him. I am looking for somewhere around like 500 hp

      Thanks @PranK for the updated member status, much appreciated! 👍🏼 Now, about those pics… Unfortunately I could only find ones that I took in the dark. I was soon to discover that underneath it wasn’t in the best shape, but it was mine and that’s all I cared about at the time 😆

      A little PU bush story

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Oh, and only having done this task yesterday, I've now driven the car ~60km since, and while it is hard to avoid placebo effect and confirmation bias, I reckon that some annoyances I had with the way the car has been behaving have improved. Which....kinda makes sense, I guess. If the bushes were really stiff and resisting rotation, they would have been contributing to the effective wheel rate. And if it was more so on one side (which it was, because one side was worse than the other) then.... you might imagine that the additional rate would be asymmetric, and potentially even different between compression and rebound. And so... the car has been twitchy at higher speeds - like freeway on ramps. It really shouldn't be. The wheel alignment is good and there are no (other) known problems elsewhere in the suspension. But at 90-100 on a long sweeping ramp, tiny steering wheel motions would make it feel like it wanted to rear steer. Quite nervous. At lower speeds it would heave about in a manner that it didn't use to. Didn't want to put power down, etc etc. Now...seems to behave better. Am going to have to concentrate on the various corners where it has exhibited weirdness, on the rare occasions when I can get a decent run at them without Methanial getting in the way in his D-Max/Ranger/LDV Van/etc.
