StealthX

0-100 in like 2.5 secs and 1.4g cornering its exactly a soothing visit to the physio. rest assured youll need one after tho...

is that a cbr600 motor? what category are you gonna be racing in? looks similar to the formula SAE car im pit-crewing and building atm...

hey man yeh its bin rebuilt. i just sent off the centre housing to turbotech here in Perth. just put new bolts and everything on for the sake of it u know. managed to clock it round so the oil feed points directly up. cos as you know on a 300zx its a side mount, and i need it to be a top mount. is your in good condition at all?

thanks! nah its still internal, strange design but the wastegate flap is in behind the top of the dump flange. not like most internally gated turbos i've seen, but eh, does the same job... if it flows 3L of exhaust gasses and doesnt spike 7psi, theres no reason why it wont work on same pressure and only 2.5l of exhaust gasses. cant wait to get started on some sweet fab work prob gonna paint the intercooler piping black, make it a little more sleeper...

update: got the EMS the other day... came off a 200sx with a tune to an SR20 (of course) not that thats much help to me, but eh, at least it works. came with both wiring harnesses and computer com cable. $720 bucks shipped to my door. Beats the hell out of $1300 brand new haha all i need to do now is fab up the intercooler piping and the exhaust, after the manifold gets made. then ill be ready to get it tuned. Give it 3 weeks ill have the most powerful non-jap market x-trail in the world (unless theres another turbo x-trail ive never heard of - im sure there is haha). STAY TUNED! VERY exciting times ahead (for me anyway )

fair call. $40 it is. PM me with your bank account details ill transfer the dough. [EDIT] sorry mate just found some specs of it, not keen anymore... got it confused with another model. sorry for the time wasting :| FREE BUMP for other shit. GL

no, its a proper build turbo. stock nissan turbo from a Z31 300zx VG30et thanks for your help!

yeh ill take it. $25 posted to 6020?

specs of the head unit? part number? pics? thanks!

hmm same, there's virtually no axial shaft play at all, and a tiny bit of radial... just have to suck it and see!

already sold to me! (thanks mate!)

just thinking, is there anyway to check the state of the oil seals on a turbo without it being on the engine? if they're shot, how much usually is a rebuild? its a stock VG30ET .48 T3 btw... Thanks.

I'm certain i read somewhere that they have a 4WD dyno. I can't for the life of me find it, but I'm pretty sure of it...

this is the case for my car (x-trail) i know for sure. due to the electronic nature of the 4WD system it cant be run on a dyno without removing the rear prop shaft - but not many x-trail owners know that. its not possible to (even in 2WD mode) to just run two wheels independently, several of the safety features of my x-trail kick in, cos it senses that the front wheels are spinning and tries to engage the rears. goodbye rear diff. i think 100series landcruisers have a problem with dynos too. so yeh, we now have two problems if thats the case with their dyno. im sure i read somewhere that they do have a 4WD dyno, but i cant find it, so i think your right. more ammunition...

extracts from my e-mail to Minister O'Brien:

this was for set-up too. could take a fair while for car to go from the garage onto the dyno and set all the equipment going. and Nic_A31 is right, theyll keep doing the test, re-tuning every time until it passes. there's a similar test that was implemented at the same time as the IM240, for diesels. similar sort of deal, but there's bin alot less noise about it cos (erroneously) big carbon dumping 4WDs dont attract as much attention as well kept, performance cars. if the men in blue/government authorities were really worried about emissions, they would at least target said 4x4s, and the old carbon fiends like the XE/XF HQ (etc) early model cars, not well tuned good condition performance vehicles with modern technology...

a turbo Rav4! very cool! i like your turbo'd ladas though. they look like GTIR pulsars... thanks mate.

sorry i dont follow... Im winding in 7pound of boost if thats what your asking... 8-10 psi is the safe limit for my engine without some internal upgrades. And yes, one day i plan to rebuild the engine with forged pistons, conrods and race bearings, head studs, block guards and metal head gasket. but for now, the motor stays un-opened.

huh?

Hey guys, you're probably wondering what the hell I'm doing posting this on SAU... But yeh, I've found heaps of info on here regarding turbo set-ups, I've bought a fair few parts from people on here etc... So yeh this is what i've been working on for the past 6 months of so, I'm almost finished. my aim is 230-260whp and low 14s on no more than 7psi. Heres some specs of the kit and the car: 2002 Nissan X-trail Ti-L (luxury model) 2.5l 4cyl (QR25DE) 4WD, 5sp manual 2 1/4" zorst 4-2-1 extractors cosmo racing cold air intake nismo intake cam JWT exhaust cam X-treme clutches heavy duty clutch and lightened flywheel black 16" rims coustic 2 channel amp and poneer 12" sub Turbo kit: (almost finshed) Garrett T3 .48 a/r (stock 300zx turbo, rebuilt and rebalanced. custom ss braided oil lines walbro GSS342 255lph intank fuel pump WRX 440cc top feed injectors GFB hybrid blow off valve GReddy full auto turbo timer custom made manifold and 3" turbo back 400x220x65 FMIC w/ 2.5" piping calibre voltage, oil pressure and boost gauges with glowshift oil filter sndwich custom made rear wheel torque display - shows how much torque is being sent to the back wheels in AWD mode (4WD mode has a 50/50 split) NGK iridium step colder spark plugs Monza oil catch can EMS stinger 4424 engine management - tuned by hyperdrive motorsport stock: now: rims + tyres: eyelids: clutch and fly: 'cooler: gfb BOV: turbo: injectors: interior: front end: Ok yeh i know some of you will get your hate on, Saying "its a soccer mum's car" and "you cant polish a turd" etc... but i couldn't care less. its my pride and joy. Im about 70% done. I've got all the parts ready to go on, just need to wait a few weeks till my parents go away and i can have the car off the road (so ive got another car to use while im working on it) Im hoping for low 14s and anywhere from 230-260whp. the reason for the ballpark figure, the only other x-trail thats bin dynoed that i know of, was an automatic with a full engineered zorst, intake and haltech engine computer (it dynoed exactly 100fwkw). to be honest, ive got no idea how itll dyno, cos i know that this 4wd system eats a shitload of power, and im planning to run it in front wheel drive with the rear prop shaft disconnected, cos i've heard horror stories regarding f**ked rear diffs cos of the electonic nature of the 4wd system. that with my car being manual and turbo, i think theres gonna be a big difference to the 100fwkw mentioned. Ill update as things get done... Take care guys.

vacuum leak? i know that causes low unstable idling...

still for sale?

they do have a 4wd dyno i thought... cant find it anywhere, but im sure i read that they do... if not, then there's a big loophole, cos my car cant be run in pure 2wd mode on a dyno without resulting in serious drivetrain damage. thus id be unable to undergo an im240 test. not to mention neither would all subarus, GTRs, most SUVs, some landcruisers, landrovers, the list goes on. interesting: what if i put my car on their 2wheel dyno, and did the test, severely damaging the rear diff. would the government or kosteckis pay for the repair? i bet theyd run and hide...
