Cubes..

"The holding a steady throttle, boost builds and then starts surging 'while' holding that same throttle opening"

That is the problem that I find difficult to live with. Motorways etc when doing 100km/h in 4th or 5th. This is definately a problem when holding a steady throttle and boost just coming on whilst maintaining same throttle input..

ANd when I say flicking between load cells...its more like 3 or 4 cells.

The AFM voltage I can see flicking between 2200 mv and 2700mv, you can feel a slight roughness but this oscillation is usually followed up by a large jerk and you can see the AFM voltage jump straight down the vertical when this occurs.

Its all good. I did skim read a touch and for one reason or another didn't see the 3-4load point drop but read it as flicked between load point 3-4. :)

Yes a larger turbine housing will sort the surge.

Improve the motors ability to breathe will also; You have cams and cam gears yet?

A turbine housing might set you back 50-100 + 300 for machining. Might be better off put towards a set of cams or reground rb26 cams? BUT its still not certian the surge will be sorted.

Reground rb26 cams are a shade over $200 for 2 sticks. You net around 8.5mm lift and ~252-254duration. So a nice mild increase that won't completely kill your low end.

Thanks Cubes. No I don't have cam gears or others. I am in negotiation with GCG so I may be able to sort something out with them because the turbo was sold as a standard Rb25 so should suit the car the way it is.

New cams are a big deal..take timing belt off, rocker cover etc. Not really up for that.

Your after the OP6 turbine housing.

I can't see by that pic if it is an OP6 or not.

The compressor backing plate actually looks the same as an early (series 1) RB20DET BB turbo I've seen.

Its definitely not the run of the mill Leopard/Cima Vg30DET turbo; it 'could' be a really really early turbo from one of those. Not sure.

The only VG30DET turbo I've seen is that from the Z31 which is journal bearing and then that of the later leopard/cima. The R34 GTT RB25DET Turbo also runs the same OP6 turbine housing that the VG30DET turbo does.

Can't be sure exactly what that turbo is without seeing more pics.

The OP6 is stamped on the outside of the turbine housing near the core.

So thats a journal bearing turbo?

Would be interesting to know what car that is off as they are an extremely extremely rare turbo if thats the case.

The Z31 VG30DET's as I said above run a VLT style turbo where as the Leopard/Cima VG30DET runs a the BB OP6 Turbo with 45v1/2/3/4 on the comp cover. It 'could' be the really early 1980-1986 Leopards; I'd assume they would have run around with the journal bearing turbo's. But whats interesting is why would they not have used the same old VLT/Z31 turbo.

Thats a Vg30DET BB turbo with its OP6 Turbine housing.

Ha HAA ! I am sworn to secrecy on my Hi-Flow, suffice to say it'll do about 270rwkw, and has a watercooled plain-bearing core. It's not excessively laggy with the AVC-R tweaked-up correctly - certainly does the job for me, anyway!

Maybe You should investigate how changing the compressor housing slightly would affect surge? This seems to be at the heart of the problem, after all. Half a mil' here, a few thou' there.. . . might make all the difference.

Cubes, have all the ones you seen had OP6 in that location. This one has Y24B..

might not be right.

Hardman - sounds like you got a good turbo there. The secret recipe :) Yeah I think the compressor is where it's at but the exhaust housing may be the cheapest to change..

All of the larger turbine nissan turbo's I've seen have the OP6 on them.

You can't get any more pics? Get one of directly looking at the comp wheel also showing the compressor cover and one of the turbine housing in a similiar position. Then we can see both wheels and know or at least have a better idea of what it is.

Its definitely not a run of the mill VG30DET turbo; I suspect its something old. I suspect that due to the comp covers backing plate. Either that or its been highflowed.

If you have the turbo take some measurements of the turbine scroll at points that are easy to describe and I will compare them with the one I pulled off mine a little while back.

From memory the cross section width near the wastegate flap is ~5mm wider with the OP6 housing compared to that of the rb20/rb25 housings.

Anybody know if this looks like BB turbo? Do the non BB turbos still have exhaust housings that are useable?

thats a non ball bearing turbo, u can tell by the ribbing on the back of the front housing. To me it looks like a t3 off a VL Turbo!

    • On 12th June, the mechanic could not figure out what the issue was, but the car seems to be flooding with fuel. He was suspecting the tune, thus referred me to a tuner. Although the tuner is not familiar with Nistune, last Monday (30th June), he came over to try and re-map it. Despite the tuner trying to completely stop fuel, it kept sounding like it was pushing fuel. Tuner ended up suspecting either the ECU or Injectors. I do not believe the ECU or Nistune is the issue, as the Nistune software reads and communicates properly. Today, I removed the (new) injectors to see if they are clogged or leaking. Surprisingly enough, after those 3 days of driving, injectors 2 and 3 look very blocked. You can see the difference in the picture. I blew a bit on 3, that is why it doesn't look as clogged as 2. I am still unsure if this is what is causing the no start issue, but I am now feeling that I may have bought the injectors and Nistune without the need to do so, as the problem seems to be coming from somewhere else.  
    • haha this shit box doesn't drink coolant, for now       Let me guess, they make heaps of power, use the car for straight line driving and don't care about noise
    • They’re so great that I know of someone pulling one out to go back to a sequential 
    • Hello everyone. I've recently started the research into R34 GTR front bits and running into eye watering prices. On the plus site it looks like some places make 'replacement' fender liners for these cars. At eye-watering-but-less than stock prices. I also noticed there's plenty of diffuser options available too. What I would like to know is if my following assumptions are correct. 1) The OEM guard liners are actually only 'half' the liner. They go together with the OEM brake vents which are a separate item which looks to be quite a large 'panel' that is part of the liner. The GTR bumper has bolt holes along the front. I assume the ones in the vent correspond to the ones the OEM liner does not have (circled?)   2) The V-Spec front diffuser supplants the brake ducts in the above item. I am assuming these still work with the guard liners as there's no alternate part that I'm aware of. I don't see how they go together, so I'm making the assumption that they have to, somehow. I know the center splash guard is different on the V-Spec (and is the price of the damn diffuser alone). How does the liner interact with this? 3) There's alternate front diffusers that do away with it all. Annoyingly, a lot of the clones and CF different ones... have no brake ducts on them. I like the idea of them though. My brakes get hot on the track. These alternate diffusers are a lot cheaper than plastic splash guards. I'm assuming you don't have to/aren't supposed to remove guard liners to run a diffuser. I suspect that quite a few people actually do not run the guard liner because with a front undertray you're getting a lot of 'splash' guarding anyway, and most people remove liners given they're probably running a pretty aggressive setup with a diffuser at the front. It would also be nice to know if anyone has ever run the 'reproduction' guard liners and know whether the fitment is OEM quality or "OEM Quality". Example: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/356254671561 https://carbonetics.net/products/nissan-skyline-r34-gtr-plastic-front-wheel-arch-set Is this knowledge still around?
    • Really, effort is pretty low. You hand fistfuls of cash over to someone else and pick it up when done...   And at least this shitbox isn't drinking coolant right?
