    😂 @cat007 Jet is THE barra dude on here. I guess the point he was making is that the accuracy of dyno numbers is a known quantity down the 1/4. He's provided so much info on this forum, he probably gets a little upset of people don't read it all
  2. Tom Tucker
    Looks good mate, props for innovation and initiative. I think the only way you could make it viable is if you get them produced in Mexico for the emerging US barra market. Would still be difficult to compete with Plazmaman

    @TRYME high mount with metal overflow. Low mount 6 boost is pretty unusual. I'm not sure if you can get it made in vband, they're made T3 by default. And wait times on 6 boost are already long enough for regular line items @01txr review Jet's recommendation for fuel system. Deviation is a proven own goal @Bulletime do it. You know you want to haha

    Not for 550kw, IMO. You can maintain stock heat shields and have it nice and neat with stock manifold. But like I said, for me, I hate internal gates. The external gate mods to stock manifold end up costing as much as just buying a 6boost, if you can find someone decent to do it. And I also don't rate the response for a manual car with GTX3582. I think I can do better, but it requires coin that most wouldn't consider worth it. There is probably 10% benefit for 200% cost... which is totally worth it if you're a perfectionist haha

    A genuine 550kw with boost crammed in from under 3000rpm, and big semi slicks is where it's at. Definitely not a job for standard motor or driveline

    Have you looked at the Precision turbos? 6466? Or Borg Warner EFR 9180? Both of these have T4 turbine housings.
  7. Tom Tucker
    I thought the Territory transfer case was weak? You don't seem to have issues?
  8. Tom Tucker
    I think big auto converters can get some of those big turbos moving much earlier than a manual, and stuff like antilag is becoming more common. And yep, flow above 500-550kw is compromised. I think even forged pistons break ring lands or melt
  9. Tom Tucker
    I think the problem relates to the step from 500kw and beyond. You can get a nice responsive turbo on the stock exhaust manifold which flows perfectly up to 500kw. Beyond that, you really need an aftermarket manifold to avoid engine damage. As soon as you move away from the stock manifold you give up response. So a lot of people end up jumping from 4-500kw to 700kw. There isn't really an in between
  10. Tom Tucker
    Nice. How are you actually doing it? Are you flow matching? Does it make much difference with the barra?
  11. Tom Tucker
    Those will sound excellent. Will be curious to see what sort of response you lose. Probably not noticeable with the auto
  12. Tom Tucker
    @01txr I think you'll be disappointed with the response of the 1050 with 1.21. Unless you have a big torque converter auto. The search you did on the G35-900 suited up to 3.5L is incorrect. It's suited up to 5.5L.
  13. Tom Tucker
    Thanks for sharing. Sounds like whatever you do affords a pretty sweet lifestyle!
  14. Tom Tucker
    Nice. How's the build quality and reliability? They sound soooo good
  15. Tom Tucker
    Good choice for a responsive 1000hp
  16. Tom Tucker
    Didn't know you could get one in T3. Mine is Vband on 6boost Not really man. Stock GT3582R on stock manifold was more prone to wheelspin in the first three gears
  17. Tom Tucker
    Head work, intercooler and plenum will increase lag, believe it or not. They will improve peak power
  18. Tom Tucker
    I'm with you, response is where it's at. Nothing worst than some laggy turbo on the street. You have similar goals to me. I went G35-900, but you could probably buy 4 Aeroflows for the cost of that
  19. Tom Tucker
    that's impressive response from the TO4Z. Are you getting your motor built in QLD?
  20. Tom Tucker
    Most of these thieving workshops don't care mate. Have you noticed on Google reviews how many times a negative review is met with "we don't have any record of you in our system, blah blah blah"
  21. Tom Tucker
    Ok, Repco do sell a Kelpro version. Part number 98258. $30 per seal. Just changed them out. Bit of a bastard to get the old ones out.
  22. Tom Tucker
    Top effort man 👍
  23. Tom Tucker
    Hey mate, welcome. I recently made more than 500kw with a 3.5" dump. 3" exhaust tapered over the diff too... so I think you'll be fine
  24. Tom Tucker
    Best of luck man. So many barras out there making bulk power without issues. The number of sh*t ones with cracked heads or random thin cylinder walls is increasing over time though, as supply of good ones reduces
  25. Tom Tucker
    Until you ride in a car with 400kw...
