At the RPM Lounge Dyno-day my car only got 159kw's so I have booked it into Boost-worx for a tune and also to find why it isnt boosting as much as it should (AVCR set to 1.1 bar and only got .69 bar :) ). So if any1 buys it befoer then ill pay for the tune which is booked for the 12th of April. :P

Somebody buy this car! as you can see, the only reason why it made such low power is because lack of boost. I would buy it but it's a little out of my price range.

Interior shots as requested, quality is really crap because I couldn't find my cameras USB cable so I took them on my phone. If someone is serious about buying the car they will come have a look anyway.

Free bump for a nice 4dr, quick question were the side skirts on the car when you bought it? If not can you tell me where you bought em?

Thanks mate, they were already on it, the rear bar and the skirts are IMPUL i think they are pretty rare because I havnt seen them on another car in Adelaide.

Is this still for sale? Try the trader, a car like this should sell pretty quick in there.

Your wastegate spring is probably set to 10 psi or so and isn't letting the boost controller do it job, you might need a heavier spring to get more power.

Cant really be bothered with the trader, im not in a huge hurry to sell Sook and I would rather it go to a SAU forum user so I can find out how shes doing after I sell her. As for the wastegate, im not sure whats causeing it but boost worx are going to fix it on Thurs. I was devo when it only made 160 :D

can you tell me what mods you have fitted yourself and what mods in any were on it when you got it

also wastegate brand?

more info on the turbo one of your mates told me it was a blitz and come on at 4,000rpm?

All the mods were on the car when I brought, unsure of the wastegate brand but I can get them to have a look when its at boostworx's. The turbo is a Garret but I dont know what size it is because I was told its a TD-04 but Garret only made a TD-04 for Mitsubishi or sumthin, comes on about 4.5k.

Anythin else just ask :w00t:

was the boost issue fixed today?

still keen to come have a look guys meant to be buying my car tommorow

Hey mate, yeh it was supposed to be fixed yesterday but Boostworx have been flat out so it should be done sometime this afternoon im jsut waiting for the call to go pick it up and ill post deatils of what they did and new power output. Im free all this weekend if you wanna come have a look, after that im in melb from monday till thurs.

Cheers

Just picked it up from Boost Worx and it had a heap of small boost leaks that were fixed, only made 167 atw but Shaun said that the exhaust is restricting it and it isnt boosting enough. Its set to 1 bar but it will only get to about .7 bar. I have a piece of straight through pipe that can replace the CAT so i will try that in a couple of weeks when I get time, if it hasnt sold by then.

Its also boosting alot quicker 3.5 to 4k now and its nice and smooth through the revs.

    • The fab work can be as simple as a couple of silicon hoses and clamps to the factory piping. 
    • Just sounds like either way you need to do some fab work to get everything to fit, so why limit yourself at that point? If the GCG high flow option is zero effort in and out swap though I'd probably do that. It's almost certainly lowest risk, lowest cost, etc. The HKS GTIII-RS option that Kapr mentioned is laughably expensive for what it is, they charge the exact same for two turbos on the RB26 so their margins are off the charts on that thing.
    • Intake manifold is not a part of the issue. The turbo bolts to the exhaust manifold. That is easy. But close your eyes and picture the physical situation. That is a T3 flange on the manifold and a T3 flange on the turbo. As long as any new turbo has a T3 flange on the exhaust housing, that exhaust housing will bolt to the exhaust manifold. This places the exhaust housing in the same place as the stock one. But now move your mental attention a little further forward. The location of the compressor housing is set by the length of the turbo's core. The stock turbo had a long core. Let's say that it is..... 100mm long. So that would place the compressor housing 100mm forward of the exhaust housing. But a highflow, might well have a centre core that is shorter. Let's say that it is only 70mm long. Now the compressor housing will be 30mm further back in the engine bay than the stock one. This DOES move the turbo's compressor outlet backwards. It also moves the compressor's inlet backwards. You will very likely have to do some work to both the inlet and outlet piping to make everything connect again. I am not say this to make it out to be a bigger deal than it is. I am just pointing out that "bolt on" is sometimes not quite bolt on. The highflow from GCG that Murray linked above (https://gcg.com.au/turbo-charger-upgrade-skyline-gtst-2iu-xtrgts-s1.html ) uses a core that is the same length as the stock core, and so does not require this extra work. It will look very much like the stock turbo. No-one uses GTR turbos of any flavour (stock, or aftermarket) in a single turbo application on RB20/25. It's not a thing. Yes, people have been putting on GT3076, GTX3076 (and bigger and smaller versions of those) and G30s (of various sizes) onto RB20/25 since forever. But these are not "bolt on". Everything except the 4 bolts to the exhaust manifold change with these. And genuine Garretts are expensive. Non-gen, like Pulsar, etc, are cheaper, variously as good or nearly as good. But still not bolt on. No-one in the right mind would pay for an HKS turbo. Not in this modern day and age. Well, yes, the GCG highflow. You could ask HG what he can do to make the compressor housing sit in the original location. There are surely others doing highflows around the world. And some of the eBay/Temu ones (as reported by Dose) work and don't die. Bit of a lottery though. I would send your turbo to GCG (here in Oz) to be highflowed if you want a trivial no-extra-work option. But seriously, the work required to change inlet and outlet piping is not that hard. That's a boost control problem, not a turbo problem.
    • Thank you all for the replys 🙂 I know that intake would be different but that is one pipe at it is not that hard to get(custom one). I meant mainly bolt to the stock manifold and the turbo elbow. I looked and many sites/forums but they are just "old" with some old HKS turbos from GT-R i guess? What about some Garrets?  Or any other turbo? Is there even a turbo which i can just bolt on? 😄 And yeah i know about that new HKS but that is like 2000k USD without taxes/shipping in here   Iam getting a touch up tune but my "problem" is that on the "not" hot day iam getting peaks around 0,9 bar...and when it was around 15 Celsious i saw peak around 1 bar which is just too much for stock turbo. And of course turbo is old and i like to get some new one for a piece of mind 🙂 
    • I'm working on the assumption that our friend Jasmine here is a Russian (or, possibly Ukrainian) spammer/spambot, based purely on the number of such that I have been having to neuter in the last few weeks. IP address for the OP above was in WA. But that could have been via VPN. Posting at quarter to 4 in the morning is a good sign of being from somewhere in Europe. The last Jasmine that I kicked in the cooch was IP addressed in Ukraine. Even that could have been via VPN, and the bitchbot could have been from Russia, Serbia, China or anywhere. Regardless, was a spambot, so I killed it with fire. The fact that our new friend Jasmine here did not respond in any way to my tart query strongly suggests to me that this OP was just the establishment phase of a user able to be activated for spamming in a week, or 3 or 10.
