[SSjon]

Yes. Yes you do.

Negative ghost rider. I bet you and Chris with the TT 5.3 s10 would be the 2 fastest. Here's last years results. David Childress (MightyMouse) sold his car, and the car is now in Houston, so you won't have to worry about that car

but...... if nicks car was there....

I'd be the 13 second winner

Sweet! I loved my billet wheel'd precision a lot. Did you get the ceramic ball bearing or journal? Im not a fan of ball bearing turbos so I got the journal bearings. Any good pics of the front?

LOL, that's like saying "I'm not a fan of rubber tires, so I went with wagon wheels."


Zac, is that a dime? 

[digitalsolo]

Billet?   That sure looks like a cast wheel to me. 

So what size is the turbo Zac?

lol, i dig the analogy

i could of used something other and sadly smaller than a dime to show scale...... but you would of thought you where looking at the turbine of a jet engine because the scale would of been so F'd, haha

[zbrown]

and i had thought for sure i would have to rework part of my hotside to get this turbo to fit right


but i shit my self when i tried it on last night


I seriously must have sub consciously in the beginning built the turbo system to fit this exact turbo!


it fits in there better than the old GTS, for real (the gts compressor housing had to be ground on so it didnt rub on the water pump motor)


zero changes other than the DP


shaft centerline came forward and up into the perfect position


and plan for the DP is this..... you can see the Y where the two 3" exhausts come together........ well going to bring 4" right off the turbo and cut that Y back far enough so that it has the same circumference as a 4" pipe....... so it will be 4" right into two 3"

Holy Shit Zac!  That looks sexy!   Best of luck!  Needs mo pics!

You can't rebuild a ball bearing turbo. Amirite?

The billet wheel is on the compressor not exhaust. Now that he showed us the front, we can see it is a standard wheel.

Which leads me to my next question. Why? Did you buy that used? I didn't think Precision made any turbos without billet compressor wheels anymore. And at only $899 for a journal bearing, billet turbo, thats a damn good deal.

Blake, here is what a billet wheel looks like.
