apexi dont release compressor maps, like hks.

theres probably not a great deal of information as not many people use them. people prefer to use a proven and well used combination, as you can see what results youll get and it takes out the guess work.

the rb25 turbo upgrade thread covers most of the common turbo's so you would be mad to go out on a limb and choose some not tried turbo and be disappointed with the results

Just google "apexi AX53B70 turbo" plenty of info out there

from what I understand, better response then a HKS 2535 and more allround power too.

if I had the cash to buy a brand name turbo - my money would be on this turbo

:)

from my experiences with owning this turbo, but on a rb20 and research into them on a rb25

they are nearly as responsive as a hks 2530 and around the same power as a gtrs

ultimate low mount for this kind of engine in my opinion

seen one make 238rwkw on 10psi with a nearly perfect torque curve

that is good power 10psi , yeah i woundlnt mind going something different and it is a more complete kit with all gaskets etc, but the gt-rs may come with then but they may come with them, looking to also find a power figure ,but i s kinda hard to find for the 25det heaps for sr20 etc

I've got one of these running on my car..

Mine is putting out 225kw at 14psi, but i'm running a very safe tune (rich) and i've got some other issues that need sorting out (need hiflow cat and cams). These turbos have AWESOME response. Everyone that has tuned/driven my car is amazed by how meaty the mid-range is. Power capability of the turbo top out at about 270kw I think. There are a number of guys using the same turbo on SAU actually.

Bunta - has just had one installed - 240kw untuned

Phat6 - http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...howtopic=120898 - Just sold his GTS-T with this turbo which pulled 240kw.

This thread has some more info: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...&hl=AX53B70

I'd definitely recommend it!

Dyno Graph:

yeah i've heard that it runs out of huff around the 260 mark, but also heard that some people have managed more. with the way that dynos can be incorrectly calibrated though it'd be easy to overshoot the 260 mark :)

Nah Bunta was getting 245kw on 1.1 bar (16psi)...

Bunta Wrote:

"Finally got the results back from tuner...245rwkw VERY conservative tune and 1.1bar of boost not sure of the torque figure as I have not actually seen the graph yet, The tuner wants me to run it on this setting for a month or so to make sure everything is coping then he is confident that a bit more boost and a more agressive tune will get another 20rwkw roughly! So there you have it! Somthing to compare too at last!"

hey i have this turbo,

but am yet to install.... very interested to see as 2 what people say about it... i decided myself to go out on a limb to see what they are like as there made by apexi i figured they would have to be preety good...

all help apreciated here...

One of the lads in the sa section suggested that he was pulling 300rwkw with one of these, a whole lot of mods tho (maybe including engine rebuild) I believe.

Fact is, Id love one of these turbos, but I could never afford a new one, and after months of searching for a 2nd hand one I sorta gave up. Im going to use Slides turbo for around 3 to 4 yrs, and then relook for one of these apexi turbos for my awd stagea. ;)

thanks Primordial.

Found this page

http://www.apexera.co.jp/carlife/pro_apexi.../ax53b6070.html (use bablefish to translate www.altavista.com)

I worked out from the pdf that it would cost about $2,588 before delivery.

Anyone who of any other places this turbo can be purchased from?

cheers

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
