paul mac Posted September 9, 2006 Share Posted September 9, 2006 fitted these recently (thanks Jon) and WOW what a difference the car feels transformed, my old box was getting slower and slower changing up particularly 2nd to 3rd but the BL just whacks through the gears, did a rolling start against a bike the other night and the car feels so much more responsive i now understand the fuss about Hi-stalls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toyotatom Posted September 10, 2006 Share Posted September 10, 2006 Sounds good mate. What spec engine is the box tied in with? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jase_93tt Posted September 10, 2006 Share Posted September 10, 2006 How much and where did you get the box from Paul ? Interested in one for my one. Are the ratios still the same ? Does the Hi-stall help the box through the gears due to the powerband of the single turbo ? sorry for all the ?'s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does the Hi-stall help the box through the gears due to the powerband of the single turbo ? sorry for all the ?'s Tom my engine spec is in my garage, Jase i got the box direct from MVP but notice now that Vortex look very competative (they weren't when i ordered mine), it is a modded box so the ratios are the same, i really wasn't to impressed when i first fitted the hi-stall it was like driving with the hand brake on when your just plodding round town but open it up and wow what a difference the car feels much more responsive with little or no lag, i have a T61 so went with a 3200 rpm stall which i think is perfect for this turbo, obviously the higher the power band (bigger turbo) the higher the stall would need to be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJ Posted September 10, 2006 Share Posted September 10, 2006 I may be teaching my granny to suck eggs here but make sure you have lots of cooling for the box. Heat destroys them very quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBH, I don't know Paul. I do know that I didn't fit enough coolers to mine (or at least Dude didn't) and Joe suffered the consequences afterwards.
