Okay guys, I am getting some conflicting info on the Greddy T618Z. Can anyone tell me if it is in a TD04/TD05 housing or a TD06? Turbo builder is replacing the center section with a water/oil cooled TD04/TD05 center section but I just read the T618Z is a TD06 housing.

I mean they will know for sure when they actually tear it part but I am just curious if this has been confirmed by anyone. Also, anyone looking for a great turbo re builder should use majestic Turbo in Waco, Texas. They are really working with me on getting the best out of this turbo in terms of reliability.

That's what I have read on the skylines boards. I am ready for boost! I also found this cool turbo timer

That's pretty nifty, I park my car in a sealed garage with no ventilation, so I am skipping on the TT for now but they are pretty cheap so if I start getting lazy and don't feel like waiting for the dang thing to cool I'll just get one.

I'm putting my turbo project on hold even longer becuase I signed up for the powertrix group buy. so its going to be at least another 2 months before I can get all my parts together.

I am trying to not buy coilovers It's hard.

That's what I like about it, hopefully it will fit nicely.

Yeah i have always wanted to try one of those gas pedal adjuster thingamagiggies just for ***** and giggles but they are expensive.

But it has eco mode think of the savings!!! LOL.

If it wasn't such a good deal I wouldn't be getting the coilovers.

I realized the other day my suspension needs some major work, I'd like to keep up with NA Miatas in the canyons lolol.

ECO mode FTW, it probably works, my lead foot is a big part of my shitty mileage.

Yeah, I am in no rush for coilovers, I have brand new springs and KYB shocks. I actually have a set of Megan springs I am thinking of slapping on just to go lower and see how they compare to the Teins. We shall see.

I'm not meaning to sound like an ***, so please don't take it that way, but do people still buy turbo timers?

I'm well aware of the purpose/use, but don't see how it's nearly $100 well spent. I've owned quite a few turbocharged vehicles and have never seen the point. It doesn't take long for the vehicle to cool down after beating on it. Most will have their temps down just while driving in their neighborhood to their driveway/garage or driving through the parking lot looking for a spot at the mall/restaurant.

Again, just playing devils advocate and possibly saving you $100 towards something else you may need.



EDIT: as far as turbo timers go, this one is pretty slick. I love the potential for an OEM-ish looking install.

Tend to agree for a street driven car . I have one but have only ever had it set on 10 seconds which is probably a waste .
For a track or any form of competition car it's probably a good idea .

I have owned a few boosted car as well and I some had turbo timers and some did not. On a rotary though, I think the $100.00 is money well spent. Anything to help the engine, turbo, etc. time to cool down is a good idea.

coreyhendo

Agreed. I've definitely left my car idling in the pits/garage before to cool down after a run/session.
Heat is the enemy and as long as you're happy with your car, that's all that matters in the end.

yeah, but that's just it, I'm never happy I constantly obsess about heat, about my engine blowing, etc. But I have to admit I secretly love it.

in the end all that matters is you having a line of credit open that you use only for engine rebuilds LOL.

haha - true

I've been there with the never happy. That's how you end up with an STi you purchase as a daily driver that ends up being a 700hp project car while you have an ITR weekend corner carver.

Bwhahahaha.

$100 is nothing in the scope of things. It does help, so I say go for it. People waste $100 on things that make less sense every 3 seconds.

no ****, I am working on getting a spare now.


Exactly, I spend that taking the kids to the movies over a weekend.

You're right -- it's small potatoes, but as much as I love french fries, I love extra money in my bank account more.
Oh, beer. How I've wasted a mint on you.

Good to hear! With a water cooled center section I think it may be moot point to have a turbo timer as long as your not hammering it before shut down.

ARC use to make some really cool stuff. I believe they made a Ti Radiator under hood diversion panel.

Luckily I can get a nice buzz on from 3 beers which generally costs me $18 after tip out here.
