I've got it in and it pulls hard up top but a couple of things have happenned.

Firstly it runs 15psi at low boost

and secondly,in first and sometimes second it hits what seems to be a fuel cut.

Is that what it is?

Whats my nexts step?

Do any of you with high flows or bigger turbos run that much boost as soon as its in or hit a boost or fuel cut?

I think I need aFuel cut defender and regulator for more boost.

I'm not that rich at the moment even though my fuel mixture is.

Heres the old jigger.

Hey Rick, how are things?

Did you get that off Kaos Racing?

Dude, I thought that Jeremy's Skyline was tuff enuff, but that turbo looks awesome!

:);) ;)

Yes he did, and yes it is :P

Jeremy is not content with 'only' 12 second passes... nuff said.

Well, I can understand that as 12 seconds is REALLY slow......:P

I suppose I will have to get a 3037 or a GT30 or something then....

Reckon that would be enough to keep up?

:shake:

Make sure you let us know how you go. Pop your dyno run on here for a looksie. You will probably at least need a Fuel Cut Defender to get the most out of the turbo. Besides having fuel run out maybe. I have a FCD they are quite fiddly the more boost you allow the more the fuel leans out. Good to a certain extent as our cars inherently run rich. Other people have used fuel bleed valves to lean out fuel.

I'll get a pic of the curve soon.I got 266hp at the wheels with next to no difference at 15,16 or 17 psi.It was still running rich but we didn't risk another psi.The curve flatened at about 240 hp then jumped up and flatened on 266.Not bad concidering I have done nothing but change the fuel pump.

    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
    • I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt 
    • So M12 and sealant should be fine?    NPT ” because that’s what I had and what I could get atm. 
    • Wouldn’t touch par if they gave it to me. You need to ask how much power you’re looking to make and then add about 50% to it because that’s what you’ll end up making  The factory box says no more at about 350kw or so, the upgraded synchro boxes won’t handle much over 500kw for long and at that point you’re looking at an auto or dog engagement manual,  once you’ve gone dog engagement you may as well go sequential, they cost a little bit more but it’s worth it  also while you’re at it you should upgrade the transfer case with 10 friction plates
