I have recently bought a gt2871r garrett and am putting it on my rb25.

Wat i have on the car

Frontmount

Aftermarket manifold

custom made dump pipe and full exhaust

pod to stock afm to turbo

custom water and oil feed lines and t3 to 28 adapter

boost gauge

safc I

Actuator on the turbo is at 9 pound i think but want to get it changed and tuned to 1 bar. wat else will i need,

will this all run ok? plug gaps be alright? and i have been told that i will need to restrict the oil flow to the turbo as there is too much and will where out seals quicker?

any comments, suggestions pointers are welcome.

Well you havent told us what plug gap your running now.

So somewhere around a rock and a hard place is where you've put us :D

What did the turbo supplier tell you about it?

Some need restrictors, some dont.

You really need some sort of ECU before you go winding up the boost.

Plug gap is .8 and im just going to get a bigger actuator and use my air fuel control, that will work wont it. I only want to run it on 1 bar, stock ecu should be able to handle that??

The turbo will have a restrictor built into the oil feed. If you are paranoid you can get the turbo end fitting on your new lines welded up and re drilled to a smaller size (i dont know the size off the top of my head, roughly .8mm from my very sketchy memory).

Otherwise you have no problem. plug gap is fine, do the fuel pump as suggested, safc will be alright for what you want to do but it will be a bit of a compromise.

Exact spec (trim, A/R) of the turbo will determine both maximum potential output, and the torque DELIVERY. That delivery will be a big factor in how the clutch lasts, but not as much as how the operator looks after it. Hammering it off the line, clutching it regularly to big smoky slides will see it die fairly quickly.

FWIW, my 2871 based high flow running 13.5psi max and 225rwkW gave the stock clutch no problems transmitting the drive without slippage.

Spec dependent again, at 1 bar SL1D1N should be looking to a maximum potential output range between 210 - 240rwkW. That would be beyond the stock fuel system's capacity. And that is how he should view the fuel system - as a SYSTEM. Pump, injectors, pressure regulator. Changing FPR might bump up the max fuel delivery, but probably run into issues elsewhere in the load/rev range.

If the budget isn't there yet, I'd say stick with the 9psi actuator and tune the thing with the interceptor. 180-190rwkW should be the result.

If the finances ARE available, get either a Nismo/Tomei drop in pump, a set of bigger injectors like either the S15 450cc units or 555cc Nismos, and most importantly a decent ECU. Then slip the 1 bar actuator in and get it tuned. Depending on the ECU, may be able to eliminate the AFM.

      R33 GTR running -9 with no tune

      Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.

      I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋

      Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.

      So while the second sentence is completely correct and the whole point of the conversation, the first sentence bears consideration. If this bloke is just hoping to throw big turbos on and drive it around, because there are no helpful facilities at all in his tropical paradise** then he likely has zero chance of even knowing what the TP is on the last column in the stock maps, let alone know whether the ECU is operating anywhere near it or past it. So the point is very very moot. And, per what I said before, at stock boost on those turbos, you may well be off the end of the map. **I'm just back from Vanuatu, so I know exactly what small Pacific nations can be like wrt paradise without requisite facilities. But it's not even that simple. I put a high flow on my car and had to drive it around without a proper tune because of the lack of opportunity*** to put the bigger AFM and injectors into it to allow it to be tuned. I had to turn the boost down to less than I had before, and back off the boost controller's ramp, because it was exploring parts of the map that it didn't drive in before, and really couldn't access for tuning on the dyno either, and so was pinging. It was still well within the last column, because when I first**** set up the Nistune on the Neo I rescaled all axes of the maps to give some more space to explore. ***Family dyno was broken ****This was 13 years ago, and the TIM thing wasn't a thing then and so TP would definitely grow when pushing past the stock tune's limits.

      Squeaking clutch/throw out bearing

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Yep, this bit another local owner. I caught it before putting the transmission back into the car, what I noticed was the pressure plate fingers weren't flat and even. It's more obvious with the pull style clutch because the throwout bearing ring was visibly not flat once everything is put together. Nismo should really update their instructions to call out this specific detail. I'm not even sure the clutch as-shipped orients everything properly.
