Now im putting

  • A Geniune Garrett gt35 Bush bearing Turbo only done 2000km
  • Teal external Wastegate with screamer ( this is for the coppers only )
  • Sard fuel pump with reg..
  • All will be returned with Safc II.

what are your opionions.

What is the intended use of the car, i would be using a different turbo, and you will need full engine management and injectors, and screamers on a street car is plain stupid

Max psi will be 14psi

I was told My tuners that the safc will fix it for 14psi

The Turbo was also told would be fine

i know the full engine mangement would be better but i dont have 2g in my pocket atm.

as for Screamers.......they sound SEXY.....

Sorry to tell you mate, find a new mechanic. What they have told you is a shocking modification list, which if someone were to suggest that to me, i wouldnt ever go back there as they clearly have no idea.

You dont purchase a GT35 and run 14psi. You run 20-25psi+ on a 2.5ltr. Otherwise there is no point having the turbo on there.

Its not going to do anything but give you a laggy and unresponsive car.

To give you an idea, the turbo is capable of well into the 350rwkw marker, so only running around 240rwkw that you will be, is just pointless for a turbo of that sheer size.

Your far better off with a hi-flow or a better matched GT30XX turbo.

It will make around similar power (on around 15-16psi), but more importantly probably make boost 2000rpm earlier and be super responsive.

Also the use of a S-AFC for such a setup is also ridiculous. You need a fully programmable ECU. Not a $350 band aid :)

This is probably one of the worst 'my mechanic suggested' threads ive seen this year, i strongly urge you to go somewhere else

^^^ the best advise you could possibly listen too !!!!!!

GT35 14-15psi = calender to map response and a stop watch to record how long it will last with a SAFC tune :)

Okay.................. I printed this thread and showed it to my tuner

and he completly agrees with what R31Nismoid had to say......

Now he said to it wasnt a GT35............. I dont were i got the gt35 turbo from then

He said it Custom GT30........it was for there twin turbo supra...... but now there using t67 turbos

T3 flanged........ i know it is bush bearing and it need an external

They also said the should minimal lag or even no lag wif this turbo...

As for a computer he said it will run much better with a fully programmable computer but for now we can make it run on low setting with it......................

i should be getting a EMS Stinger soon

I dont believe "no lag" :blush:

A GT30 is roughly 260-320rwkw depending on config used.

I'd be asking what housings it has on there, and what wheel trims it has.

THEN we'll be able to tell ya as someone has probably used one before :D

      R33 GTR running -9 with no tune

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      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.
