I've seen it and its really interesting to see the difference!

Expand You could fit two volumes of my gate into a 60mm gate. Kinda like when you're jerking off at the zoo and the elephant rolls his dong out...

Slowxr6t Member 587 Member For: 6y 5m 19d Location: New zealand Posted 27/06/22 12:51 AM Share Posted 27/06/22 12:51 AM Was that embarrassing Captain yeanah? @biddie_fiddler if you upgrade you might have to change some pipework, cos they have probably changed dimensions. I unknowingly bought a Chinese turbosmart gen4 45mm knockoff wg. It lasted about 2000km and shat itself. I went to get a new diaphragm kit for it and the local dealer couldn't even tell it was fake until we disassembled it in his shop and found kit wouldn't fit. I bought a new gen5 and dimensions were different and I had to get the grinder and welder out.

Has definitely been some design revisions over the years that's for sure Edited 27/06/22 12:58 AM by biddie_fiddler Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/44361-the-off-topic-thread/page/10309/#findComment-1712878 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slowxr6t Member 587 Member For: 6y 5m 19d Location: New zealand Posted 27/06/22 01:49 AM Share Posted 27/06/22 01:49 AM Looks like the old beast would have cooled better, my old 48mm progate on my 300zx looks like that older blue one. Does the job. New smaller ones just easier to package in the engine bay.
