These look nice....more power and better response than a HKS GT2530....

As New TWIN APEXi AX53B60P21 680HP

http://www.jappartsspecialist.com/main.htm

Last I looked the GT2530's or Garrett GT2860R-5 Turbo's are rated at 700HP so how are you stating that.

:rolleyes:

So waiting for a reply on why the AFM's with the d-getro unit?

just from what the site says.....

I do like the the apexi design tho, would be more efficient than a HKS2530 given the same size.

"The AX turbo incorporates the AIRICK system. The AIRICK system incorporates a patented material in between the compressor housing and the compressor blade. The insertion of this material allows near 0 clearance between the blade and housing improving compressor efficiency by almost 5-6% all across the board. AIRICK also lowers compressor outlet temperatures under high load by 50-68 degrees F. This not only improves overall maximum output, but improves the boost response right before the intercept point of the turbine."

btw I run HKS 2530's =)

My warning was because of what was on a web site.

Don't listen to what they go on about in the turbo info section....

Look at the results and the mods. done in the performance threads...RB20,RB25,RB26.Upgrades

I have not seen may of these guys use this system HKS and Garrett seem to be the best choice.(both being the same turbo anyway)

Take care

The graph that is posted at the start of this topic by writeoff might be abit ancient too.

So looking at this would be incorrect to compare PSI of Turbo's.

IE. The old N1 turbo's are different from the new one's.

So waiting for a reply on why the AFM's with the d-getro unit?

The answer was ignorance. I knew nothing about D-Jetro Power FCs and hadn't done the research. I've read up on them since. Still haven't finalised what I need and therefore haven't ordered anything yet. Also waiting on results from leakdown test on engine before I order anything.

Write off- I would avoid the D-jetro if you want the nicest car possible to drive. Djetro can make more power sometimes due to the absence of the AFM as a restriction but the djetro are much harder to tune and are drawing on a signal (MAP sensor) which is much less accurate than an AFM which makes for a car that doesn't drive quite as well. Unless your worried about every last kilowatt I would buy the AFM version and save yourself money on tuning and have a nicer car to drive.

very good list there. the only think I would change would be get nismo afm instead of Z32. 60mm afm is no big restriction considering the size of the intake piping is smaller than that anyway.

    • Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
    • I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option 
    • You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)
    • I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.
    • Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
