Hi I've purchased this turbo and I've been told that it has been upgraded. Can anyone tell me if it's been high flowed or if there is a different compressor wheel or anything different with it ?

Hi. there's this turbo for sale and before I purchase it I want to know if it's a dud. I know the only way to find out is to hook it up but if there's anything you see wrong with it please tell me !! Description: Selling the OP6 turbo off my R34Gtt and the alloy intake pipe due to upgrading. In good condition, crappy plastic wheel replaced and flowed, made 240Rwkw at 16psi Apparent Reason for selling is that he upgraded to a gtt 3076 He told me there's "a little bit of float but no end play, blew no smoke". He also suggested to put another bush kit on it. Can someone tell me what that means ? Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. Don't want this to be my second bad turbo I buy

It looks like I'm another "Gary" in the site... I'm (51) years young with a midlife crissis to modify a relatively rare sub-model of the Mitsubishi Lancer over the past going on two years now. That being said, I came across this site while perusing the Web, looking for parts. See you around! Edit: When creating a username, my choice was "truthdweller" but when I hit "enter" it came up "reincorporated" which is probably the result of my spell checker. Is there something a moderater/admin can do, or do I have to create another account?

Rb20det s13 runs perfect but slower than a civic Hey everybody, i just made this account because ive been browsing this site everytime i need to learn something about my engine(rb20det) and the info yall got here is incomparable to any forums in the US where its just a huge internet argument. With that being said i havent found anything on this forum that adresses the issues im having so here goes. I have a rb20det swap in my s13 running everything stock, its holding boost at 10psi, the wideband reads 11-12 on boost and around 15 at idle, the timing is set at 15* and everything appears to be running perfect except a little idle fluctuation from 680-780rpm and sometimes i need to hit the gas when cranking to start it. The major issue im having is my car is slower than my honda accord but seems to be running fine, i can feel the turbo spool and the boost comes on but its still very very slow. Any help would be greatly appreciated

Hey all, Picked up a manual 370gt not long ago. Have purchased BC BR coilovers and will be doing new bushings all round and front & rear sway bars shortly. My car is just shy of 200k kms but she still pulls hard and feels very tight all round. I was hoping to get your opinions on what FI route I should take. Option 1: Replace gallery gaskets and mid mount single turbo my existing VQ37. Using SOHO motorsports' single turbo dyno as a guide, I'd be looking at approx 600WHP and 600nm wheel at 5k RPM. Ride this motor out till it dies then put in a new VQ when the day comes. Option 2: Sell my VQ and do a VR30DDTT swap. I've been extensively researching this swap and know of 3 370z swaps, two 350zs and one 350gt (US so G35). I can't see why a 370gt should be too different to a 370z. The OEM motor mounts can be retained, I'll need a z1 adapter plate for my JK41A transmission, q60 ecu, harness, engine room harness, CANBUS module, custom intakes, lower downpipes, heat exchanger and tune. This will net me less HP - approx 450whp but more torque at lower RPMs for more RPMs - 675nm wheel at 2.5k to 4.5k. Putting aside sourcing parts, labour and installation timeframes, what would be your preference for a daily driver/occasional track visit car? Boosted VQ for 600WHP with a lower, shorter, later torque curve or a VR30 with 150 less HP but significantly better torque delivery? Any shop recommendations in Sydney, Wollongong, Newcastle or Canberra? Would love to hear your thoughts Al

R34 Forward Facing Plenum and Front Mount Install Hey everyone, I've been looking around the boards for any information on how to do this but haven't been able to find any I'm looking at installing a forward facing plenum onto my GTT, i've already done the front mount and the lag it suffers is horrendous doing basically 3 laps of the car before reaching the intake. Has anyone installed a forward facing plenum and have any tips on how to go about it? However I'm more after ideas on where to run the intercooler pipe from the exit? Will i need to relocate the battery or is there a section on the GTTs where I can safely run the piping? Any help / thoughts would be of great help! Cheers
