LTHLRB that is not the case even with me. i had to rotate front and rear housing about 4 times to get it spot on. and no i didnt bend any lines what so ever :)

*im not flaming anyone but this was the case

Lthlrb, that is not the point of the thread, please don't get sidetracked, I don't want to turn this into a flame war - this is about reversion, and bovs!

But, me, r33god, and CEFIE and other people I know had to rotate the housing, lines had to be bent, because they didn't line up (no my stock lines weren't bent - when I saw that it didn't line up, I took the turbo off, put the stock one on, and they lined up perfectly). The catridge was about 1-2 cm from having the oil inlet facing upwards, and the water banjo holes facing striaght sideways. My turbo was installed by my friend who is a mechanic/fabricator/fitter turner, so he's not some backyard bogan who doesn't know what he's doing.

for discussion of installation, pleae do so in nic's thread.

so do you know why the bov isn't opening at low rpm, and causing chop chop, whereas it did open with the stock turbo?

cause it dosent have enough pressure to open it. i heard it will only open at 10psi and up?

correct me if im wrong please :)

on another note i had to ajust/bend my actuator forward so the wastegate stays closed when im not boosting. i fixed that today and boost comes on much earlier ;)

That's what I was saying to paulr33 above - that was his theory that at 3k rpm, the highflow might only have 4 psi, whereas the stock turbo may have had 7

but this is what I said - did your stock turbo ever flutter? mine never did, whether releasing at 1 psi, or 20 psi.

ur bov is prob farked. I dont really know my blow off valves.. i dont run them and dont like them...

I found with my bov connected it surges HARD like it will come onto boost. anything past 9 - 10psi it will go CHOO CHOO CHOO CHOO CHOO all the way thru the rev range untill i let go. std bov = gay

my turbo actually didnt and isnt giving me hastles (will needa c if it produces the power i was told it will produce) Fits perfectly on my new engine and i have pics to prove.

Your pics don't prove anything. You can have a look at a pic of the turbo installed in my car. looks like it's standard. You can't tell that iv'e rotated the housing or that i've bent lines.

My stock bov is fine. Tested the mechanism in it, and it's the same as before.

i wouldnt worry about it man it sounds good, and wont harm the turbo, well not at a lower boost level where it does flutter.

oh yea..my msn's on. sign out and back in. mines fine

but im too lazy to rotate a turbo around and stuff lol its not like im lying to you, im saying, that when aaron sent the turbo, i put it directly on my new engine iv built and wallah, fits fine.

You may have another case, but i dont agree that you got ripped or anything (you shouldnt have baught it if u are complaining now)

Maybe wind the boost up?

i got another point...

My mate has a 500hp hypergear external gated high mount turbo, He made a front facing plenum, there was that much pressure iin the piping and all that 6psi seized the throttle and it couldnt shut, he now runs a hks ssq bov, which on 6psi sounds like hell!

I'm not complaining! It runs like a 12 year old kid with a porno mag. Like I said to you above, I don't care about the isntall of it! that's not the purpose of this thread. I'm triyng to understadn why the bov was opening stock and isn't opening now!

Obviously you didn't have to rotate it, because you got braided lines, whcih are flexible - the reason why I had to rotate, is to give the metal lines the best chance of fitting on wiht the least bending.

I don't have a front mount. I have a sidemount. All the front mount does is amplifies the sound (echoes through the chamber)

And before anyone says omg, get a front mount before you get a turbo - I have one, I just tested with a sidemount to see if the reversion was still there with the sidemount, and it was.

not everyone had the joys you did with it fitting straight on :) regardless of the mucking around we did its a fantastic turbo.

im happy ;)

Ever seen a compressor map? they're not exactly linear.. what someone was trying to say earlier is that even at 4psi and 2k rpm, the stock turbo is probably still flowing enough air to open the bov. I'm no expert, but that makes perfect sense to me.

hey ducki, are you running a pod filter? or standard airbox. If you're running the airbox, you probably won't hear anything, or it'll be very very little.

I've tried my airbox, even with a Kn panel, and I almost oculdn't hear any noise.

manwhore.

try this, disconnect the hose that goes to the bov....the one that comes from the plenum.

take it for a drive and u should have that flutter.....then plug the hose back in and see if the noise changes....if it doesnt i'd be guessing that the bov isnt working.

thats my theory for the day....

Yogi, the bov is working, aboive 4k rpm

    • The cross sectional area of a circular hole scales with the square of diameter. So a 2mm diameter hole is 4x the area of a 1mm hole. Not double. The 1.7mm hole is nearly 3x the area of a 1mm hole. You do not need restrictors at both ends of the oil supply line. If you have new, additional restrictors at the turbo end, that you did not have before, then you do not need a restrictor at the inlet end.
    • Hi all. Been a while but things are moving along. I just have something that I am wondering about. Since I will use OEM turbo oil pumbing, I got myself a new bolt, the one that goes into the engine block oil feed. As I recall (and see visually) this bolt comes restricted with I think a 1.7mm hole? Not quite sure but it was something around that size. The turbos have 1mm restrictor bolts installed, as necessary due to ball bearings and my higher oil pressures. Can I now just use that OEM bolt with the 1.7mm hole in for the engine block or will this actually be too much oil flow restriction and I have to drill it out first? In my head it would make sense for the bolt to be at least 2mm wide as both turbos take "1mm of oil flow". Do let me know if my logic is flawed here, I just want to make sure I don't kill my turbo bearings with too little oil. Don't know if I can trust the saying I read somewhere that ball bearing turbos essentially only need an oil mist
    • There are several aftermarket options available, from not-too-painful moneyhttps://justjap.com/collections/driveshafts-bearings/products/d-max-reinforced-replacement-rear-driveshaft-set-fits-nissan-s13-s14-s15-r32-r33-r34-c35 and  https://justjap.com/products/crank-motorsport-billet-rear-axles-fits-nissan-skyline-r33-gts-t-r34-gt-t?srsltid=AfmBOorQk4xkGUa98kO7v2ePLUiNt-HRrM2AwWNw9mbSIVE1ujBVwY__, all the way up to The Driveshaft Shop https://driveshaftshop.com/skyline-cv-axles/
    • Yeah based on old XRC5964S specs, it looks to be roughly GTX3576R sized? But this 5964S compressor will flow 90lb airflow somewhat similar to the compressors in both the GTX3584RS or G35-1050.. I fully expected the 0.64 rear A/R to choke up top - seems way too small from typical convention - but these are seemingly beneficial over the prior 0.82 results.. Be interesting to see if he comments on the EFR question in that thread - he mentioned in a prior video that BW EFR's were the "cats pajamas 10 years ago", but by the sounds of things all his kits have been using Xona for quite a while now.
    • Yeah it’s still got the oem manual gearbox and clutch, only kinda mods are a blow off valve, coil overs, and a aftermarket intercooler. Also had it for about 2 months now with a lovely midnight purple paint on it.
