hey guys , just wondering those of you who have a 34 what type of turbos are you running? as im looking to up the cheaply high flowed turbo i have (stock high flowed) as i dont want to go down the path of a aftermarket computer yet .. any suggestions would be good !

Reason for keeping it stock looking - i want to re-use the turbo heatsheild as cops these days are a pain !! rather not want to get defected

Cheers

I was looking at upgrading my turbo to a Apexi AX53B70 as it's low mount, internal gated and apexi said "The AX53B70 turbine power output is around 600HP depending upon application" it uses the ihi catridge so can still be rebuilt with apexi dead... another choice would be a GT-RS which would keep everything looking stock as it comes in a bolt on kit, depends how much you wana spend? wont get full potential out of teh turbo with a stock ecu unless remaped.

Btw my turbo is stock

There is 3 AX53B70s the p21 is used as a twin set up on GTRs, the P25 is rated to 380hp, I have this it is really responsive and made 245rwkw at 14psi on my car, so there is a bit more in it yet and the P28 which is a big high mount job thats the 600hp one

The P25 would be a good choice Vish I love mine but you may have trouble getting one. Apexi turbos are rare these days! I know I have been unable to get my hands on a RX6 kit, websites say they have them but when you try to order they say they are out of stock

ah cool gives me some ideas on them rite now im running a gcg stage 1 high flow which was at that time cheaper since i was on a budget .. spool up is great power wise it lacks mid to high end... hence upgrading..

Its hard to buy them brand new as they are a discontinued item, i have seen a couple go through yahoo auctions for around $800 second hand

Thanks guy i tried searcing a few places without much luck not many people seem to know about them .. any one knows anything about a stage 2 highflow or slide overmax ?

Seriously mate their isn't much point in upgrading the turbo (which is already decent) until you get the best out of it by way of after market management. That said the slide max high flow is a good thing, I have seen one make 200rwkw at 5psi

    • The car remains in paint jail. I am now pretty convinced that the whole "RB25 Airboxes are kinda limiting to ~300kw" could be a thing. Also saw a good video from Engine Masters: (Sorry for FB link) (https://www.facebook.com/watch/?ref=search&v=761771519471924&external_log_id=c10bcbb6-2c39-4ff3-9240-287e9921fde6&q=Cold Air Considerations) Where they tested Pod Filter sizes and kept adding bends to a LS3 on an Engine Dyno to find if bends caused power loss. It's a good video worth watching - They did lose ~25hp from making an intake which had 3x90's and a 120 degree. They only lost maybe 1hp with a basic 90. I feel that by sealing up my airbox I have: 1) Created the same restriction a stock airbox would have. 2) Created a very convoluted set of intake 'pipes' by forcing all the air through the ducts. So I am pretty confident I'll be going full circle and have a huge hot air intake pod and actually see a benefit. The air does *not* stay hot once it gets flowing, aided by the ducts, and the pod can then pull air from anywhere. All the posts of yore talk about the stock airbox costing 10-15kw at 300kw+ but you know what? I f**king would very much like that 10-15kw and I remember my own pod filter in engine bay experiences. Turns out the GTT Reo and Headlight brackets really don't allow you to mount GTR items, no matter what the internet says. Various brackets have had to be made up to actually make it fit right for the front bar. Also some idiot mounted a 3L Accusump right where the bumper wants to go, so that has had to be 'relocated' To where, I am still not sure, but it's supposedly mounted in the pictures and I can't see it.
    • Sounds like the oil pressure light is wired into the oil temp sensor... As it warms up, resistance on temp sensor reduces, hence more current can flow and the dash light gets brighter.
    • Got the front subframe and suspension in.    
    • If it's cold in summer, then no issue. If it's cutting out every few seconds and you're not reaching your target temp, then there's an issue. One could be the pressure switch and the other issue could be the temp probe inside the evaporator.
