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.

    • I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.
    • Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.
    • Thanks @jtha7 I will have a look around tomorrow but it is a prick of a spot. These are some photos i tried taking 
    • I take it that the knock retard is from bearings tapping a little tune? Thicker oil is a fragile bandaid. You need a much bigger oil cooler and probably the bigger pump being discussed.
    • Hi @Chupapy i had several leaks from coolant pipes being corroded, i also had one leak on back of the head onto transmission. For me that leak was from the turbo water line. Follow the line to the back of the head The hose and metal pipe had perished these are the best pics I took of it at the time
