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)...

Quote:

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

    • I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off. 
    • I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell. 
    • Final update!!! Got the front bar fitted and sprayed and all sorted now. My cutouts worked great and the indicators aren’t just falling off. 😂  
    • Is this a brand new LSD? if so, have you followed any break/bed in procedure for it? Usually involves heaps of figure 8 patterns, a fluid flush.
    • It's TWO steering wheels actually. 😛 one for each hand They are wheels, and they steer!
