up to you but remember "you get what you pay for"

The classic line.

But this time I have to agree.. I usually don't but in regards to turbo's its really true.

You might as well pay a little extra and get something good, that is known to be good.

Piece of mind, and will probably be proven by other people to be a good quality product, that shows positive results.

Thanks,

Abu

jeez, 1.32? No boost until end of 2nd gear, beginning of 3rd gear or something?

1.32 isnt TOO bad on a 20b. the exhaust they produce is equivalent to a 3L.

ive seen a few of those turbos die. i think its the oil feed through. if you put this on make sure you get a 6mm oil feed made up for it. everyone i know thats failed has used the standard lines.

Don't buy it :nyaanyaa: I'm with the others:

Manifold - will crack within a few months, face won't be straight, will need a bit of modding to fit

has the tube supporst on the wrong side!!!! so they won't stop it cracking, will need to spend about $150 on welding to actually make sure it doesn't crack, better off spending that money on something decent

Wastegate, looks like an XSPower Tial Copy, they are crap, I've heard of alsorts, mostly stuck spring/wastegate flap, which is bad especially if you are running high boost

Turbo - looks like the "T70 MonstA" off trademe, it's another XSPower styole copy with "geniune garrett internals(yeah right)" and will fall apart, which could take our your engine...

stay well clear, $700 would buy you a Greddy manifold or something similar, I'd then go get one of the highflows off this forum round 1100-1500 with internal gate, or if yuo really want external, buy a tial 38mm or 45mm and get that put on

buy a bolt on hiflow and forget the manifold and wastegate. a bush bearing hiflow can be had for under $1000 and will bolt right on and make 250rwkw, it will look stock and retain nissan housings. it may not look "fully sic" bit it will work :nyaanyaa:

The guy who bought the kit with the 1.32 ex binned the turbo and fitted a gt35r, the car has been running with the cheap arse manifold and wastegate for 2 years now without cracking the manifold, makes 309rwkw @16psi, the key is to brace the exhaust so the manifold doesnt take the weight

give it a go if you wanna rebuild

manifold will be fine

its the turbz you gotta worry about

did bits of your compressor travel the whole way through your cooler, intake piping, plenum, and into your cylinders? on an RB25?

no way !!

i didnt think that would happen :thumbsup:

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
