arronm Dropping a turd Gold Donating Members 9,520 Member For: 16y 5m 28d Gender: Male Location: Perth Posted 19/04/14 11:36 AM Share Posted 19/04/14 11:36 AM The compressor wheels have the tendancy of flying apart at those kind of figures. Chancing a lot of bits flying through the whole systemOnly 17 psi as Ralph said and tapering down to 15 to 13. Turbo will be sweet,, The only thing flying apart will be the tyres. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Works well for what it is, but wouldn't buy on again. FiftyOne - thanks for the concern, think the bearings will fail before the compressor wheel though. Hopefully a while before that happens. Arronm - definitely need wider/stickier rears =PP91 - not for the moment, if I'm honest current power levels exceed my skill level, working on handling mods and getting some experience. I'm also 20hp off the maximum power recommended for the diff and 250nM more torque than the gearbox is rated to, so if I push the ceiling much further, I will have a huge bill on my hands. If I have to change turbo, will probably go gtx3576, modest tune with better spool, and start saving for driveshafts and cvs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scary how many people just lay down the cash and have 600hp on public roads... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still plenty quick and driveable.still chop cars that have more but can't get it to the ground Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep seeing guys in crazy utes lose the tail as they try to nail it out of a corner. Although now that I think about it that may have been intentional..P91 - I know the power bug will rear its head again, but just won't have the funds for turbo+ZF rebuild+driveshafts+CVs+ bigger brakes(stock ones are getting close to their limit+ potentially conrods&pistons. So 480hp is enough for me (for now =P). Still pretty competitive. Not sure how even 600hp would go on the street, let alone 700! Should have reasonable manners down low though. GT42?Buf-phoon (nice handle btw) - that's exactly what I'm worries about now. Got some 245 p zeros on the back and it's just lighting them up without gripping if I give it anything more than half throttle. Any recommendations on better tyres?

Difference is variations in calculation due to roller size, etc? Had never heard of that before! Thanks, learnt something. Did you used to (/still have) a turbo EL ONE RAT?P Zeroes are not a bad tyre at also tried Yokohama Advans which weren't too bad until about 20ksa good all round tyre IMOHad a set of Maringoni mythos completely delaminate at 15 ks good when new but apparently they went off (aged) in the shedso yeah I ended up running Falken fk452s a good compromise in all conditions V pricesome reading for youhttp://www.productreview.com.au/c/tyres.htmlCheers mate, thinking about some new wheels, will try some different tread on them when I get there. Love the 19" luxo rims, but they are a bit skinny and wont clear the brake upgrade I'll eventually need. Unless theres a way you can legally and safely make it a 2 piece, keeping the face and widening/putting some rim on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
