slide highflow, no idea on how long but probably not that much long... they said they had to 'modify' the wastegate actuator (ie bend it) so it would shut the wastegate fully, maybe thats still a problem, is it really that bad?

It isnt thaaaat bad (Well it kinda is)

My turbo was heaps laggy for a little while then it loosened up and came much better

yeah i'm doing that now,

driving it it actually sits on 8psi for some reason before continuing onto full boost, doesnt swing right round like it should?

What boost controller are you using? they can help lag to a degree

In any case you need injectors before you can do anything as they are out of flow at about 200rwkw...not mercury 200rwkw real 200rwkw :laugh:

its funny you say that andy as the more i drove it tonight the better it seemed to be, the turbo did sit for a couple of weeks before it got installed so maybe that was something to consider too?

i just thought that they are supposed to make full boost before 4000rpm.

and yeah yeah, the sheet still says 200 something so im happy :) althought the injectors are out of puff :laugh:

i used to have a turbotech one but they said it wasnt holding boost (although was working fine when i drove the car over to them?) but i got them to show me the dyno data which proved it, so now it has a simple gfb bleed valve conrolling boost.

They also had problems with the wastegate actuator (the one on the highflow was stuffed) so they swapped over my old one but had to bend it to make the wastgate function properly? wierd... hmmm

shane do you have msn?

having a dodgey ass bleed valve controlling boost and expecting it to be 'good' i should come over there and slap u myself :) get a real boost controller i.e Blitz ID3

Yeah when I put mine on it didnt get full boost till 4700 it had been sitting a year...now it can do 1.3 bar by 3300

ur budget is probably alot more than mine, real world example would be comparing nasa space program with indias space program :laugh: (yes i am india!)

Most cases I have seen show the turbotech holding boost pretty well, what more do you want?? Oh wait the pretty screen :) Seriously for medium boost levels a bleed shouldnt be causing too many problems

shane is right, you cant expect to get decent or consistent boost out of a dodgy bleed valve, even cheaper electronic boost controllers will do a much much better job. Go to www.nengun.com and find yourslef a new one asap!

pffft as if, y do u think i do everything myself? if i paid a worshop to do all my work i wouldnt be ablke to afford to do what im doing

well alot of people use them no problem, i'm only running 13psi it should be able to handle that

says the man with an avcr :laugh:

now bed bye :)

later :)

i've seen cases of a screw in a piece of vaccum hose hold boost o.k on higher hp cars but still....an ebc can do more than give you a pretty screen, not to mention safety side of things. I remember when i was driving my car one day my ebc came up with a warning and wouldnt let me boost over .7bar because a vaccum hose had come lose and if i hadn't had an ebc I wouldnt have had that function. It could have saved me running unlimited boost and a lot of money.

well alot of people use them no problem, i'm only running 13psi it should be able to handle that

yea it should but ebc's arent that expensive and if anything at least you have piece of mind, plus you can change and monitor boost levels from the cabin.

pffft as if, y do u think i do everything myself? if i paid a worshop to do all my work i wouldnt be ablke to afford to do what im doing

no but cost of parts alone i would say would easily be double my whole cars budget?

    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
    • Well the articals keep saying a Q50s (Skyline in Japan) with a new Manual gearbox. I like the talk about the new looks with the round tail lights. I hope they bring back the retro look like they did with the Z
