I'm considering this turbo or rebuilding my hi-flow. How much shaft play ? I don't want to have to rebuild it after I put it in. 240kw seems low, and a bit worried would have to screw 20lbs into it to get the numbers. Want 250kws. Very hard finding a VG 30 housing for a good price for my R33.

skylinecouple - my engine is based on the rb20 and the fact it is low comp, means it requires more boost than a standard engine to make the required power.

shaft play isn't abnormal, it is minimal, the wheel spins freely and doesn't blow any smoke.

also because my engine is rb20 based (standard head as far as i know etc) it flows differently to rb25. The rb25 would be able to obtain the same reading on lower boost because of the compression difference. Another thing to take into account is that i could easily of made 280rwkw at a different dyno hence why i added dyno is renowned for reading lower than most.

krzysiu - thanks for the post :cool: good to give feedback on the potential of these. for how easy they fit and the performance they deliver its good to get feedback from others that have fitted them.

cheers

-Matt

    • From the factory on RB26s there's a fitting on the intake manifold collector/"plenum" that provides pre-throttle boost signal. That's how they did it back in the day, I figure it's fine to replicate it.
    • I would be surprised if that wasn't the issue. It's probably telling you, that even if you remove the plastic liner, you may have some other clearance issues that may occur too in some scenarios. IE, tyre to guard. It looks like someone has already rolled the lip, but you may still have issues in the future IE, turning and hitting a bump etc. The fact it changes how bad it makes the noise when you are going backward vs forward is highly indicative that it's the tyre rubbing. They do make a terrible sound, even if you're only pushing a project car that has a liner hanging down on a tyre!   Has the car been lowered? If it has been, what is the measurement from the centre of the wheel hub to the lip of the guard straight up?

    • Mark's a bit smarter than people give him credit... He'd convince the person that is to become dead, to drive him to the forest first. That way his car has no evidence in it, and he's free to dispose of their vehicle permanently how he sees fit too...
    • But if you had to go bury a body in the forest, would you not put that in the boot? Most of them are >=90kg these days.
