Hey all,

Whats the go in South Australia with high mounting a turbo?

Is it a straight out defect?

If so why????

Or is there any way of getting around it?

Is it a straight out defect changing your standered turbo??

Looking to up grade my turbo and new injectors and like the look of the high mount. BUt if its a defect i wont go to the trouble...

Cheers

Not an expert but I believe any aftermarket turbo is a defect. So hi-mounting itself may not be, but since you'll almost certainly have an aftermarket turbo attached to the hi-mount you'll get a defect regardless.

Yer thats what im wondering... is the defect the aftermarket turbo??? or the high mounting??? or both??

its likely to be both mate.

Give the mob @ regency a bell. They have to answer any questions of this nature you throw at them.

dont give them any personal info of course! :worship:

Yer mate i think ill end up giving them a call.... but yer my thinking is tho whats not defectable!? everything these days will get you a defect lol

Pretty much! The advantage of a low mount though is that an aftermarket internally gated turbo still looks stock, especially if you have the original heatshielding over it.

the original point of high mounting was for turbos that wont fit in the original spot because of being too big.

in this day and age its a looks thing. personally, i think it looks awesome, but with the range of turbos available i dont think its necessary.

as for doing it for looks, ive seen a t28 high mount..

oh, and i didnt answer your question, but i did have a bit of a rant.

I have been recommended two turbos for what i want to achive...

Both can be low mounted and both have been said to be able to push out 280 to 300kws. With supporting mods (which i have)

What do you think oif the two choices?

- Garrett GT30/40r turbo machined into a std rb25 style exhaust $2100

- Garret turbo GT3271 $1212

High mounting is a definete defect and even a low mount aftermarket turbo is a defect if they can pic it up.

The injectors are also a defect as well, but there are ways around this by matching the colour of the stock injectors and spray painting the new injectors the same colour. To run the injectors you will need and aftermarket computer and that is a defect as well.

haha yer i hear that... i have a power fc but the hand control can be hidden. i wasnt aware injectors were a defect!!!??? there on order at the mo... why tho? do you kno?

i have heard rumors that police can defect on the grounds of "suspicion of modification", so even if you have a stock turbo on a high mount manifold it might get undue attention from the boys in blue. and the car will have to be inspected, and who knows the list of changes they will give you!

anything with changing turbos etc is modifying the intake system, so its an emissions breach. as would different injectors, ecu etc. No expert, but this is some things ive heard. they can be engineered i THINK, but its pending emissions testing

Yep, pretty much anything that will increase percormance wil alter emissions.

Many things CAN be engineered, but it is a very costly exercise, as the testing cost big bickies each time - pass or fail.

My advice is if you want to own a modified car - keep everything you need to return it to stock if defected, drive it in a way that doesn't attract attention and don't have it as your daily driver.

Yer the high mount looks so so sexy but i guess its not worth the hassel... just need to work out what turbo to get now... :(:( sooooooo hard!!! :thumbsup::P:):):rant::rant::rant: especially when you know so little about it lol!

    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
    • So I found this: https://www.efihardware.com/temperature-sensor-voltage-calculator I didn't know what the pullup resistor is. So I thought if I used my table of known values I could estimate it by putting a value into the pullup resistor, and this should line up with the voltages I had measured. Eventually I got this table out of it by using 210ohms as the pullup resistor. 180C 0.232V - Predicted 175C 0.254V - Predicted 170C 0.278V - Predicted 165C 0.305V - Predicted 160C 0.336V - Predicted 155C 0.369V - Predicted 150C 0.407V - Predicted 145C 0.448V - Predicted 140C 0.494V - Predicted 135C 0.545V - Predicted 130C 0.603V - Predicted 125C 0.668V - Predicted 120C 0.740V - Predicted 115C 0.817V - Predicted 110C 0.914V - Predicted 105C 1.023V - Predicted 100C 1.15V 90C 1.42V - Predicted 85C 1.59V 80C 1.74V 75C 1.94V 70C 2.10V 65C 2.33V 60C 2.56V 58C 2.68V 57C 2.70V 56C 2.74V 55C 2.78V 54C 2.80V 50C 2.98V 49C 3.06V 47C 3.18V 45C 3.23V 43C 3.36V 40C 3.51V 37C 3.67V 35C 3.75V 30C 4.00V As before, the formula in HPTuners is here: https://www.hptuners.com/documentation/files/VCM-Scanner/Content/vcm_scanner/defining_a_transform.htm?Highlight=defining a transform Specifically: In my case I used 50C and 150C, given the sensor is supposedly for that. Input 1 = 2.98V Output 1 = 50C Input 2 = 0.407V Output 2 = 150C (0.407-2.98) / (150-50) -2.573/100 = -0.02573 2.98/-0.02573 + 47.045 = 50 So the corresponding formula should be: (Input / -0.02573) + 47.045 = Output.   If someone can confirm my math it'd be great. Supposedly you can pick any two pairs of the data to make this formula.
    • Well this shows me the fuel pump relay is inside the base of the drivers A Pillar, and goes into the main power wire, and it connects to the ignition. The alarm is.... in the base of the drivers A Pillar. The issue is that I'm not getting 12v to the pump at ignition which tells me that relay isn't being triggered. AVS told me the immobiliser should be open until the ignition is active. So once ignition is active, the immobiliser relay should be telling that fuel pump relay to close which completes the circuit. But I'm not getting voltage at the relay in the rear triggered by the ECU, which leaves me back at the same assumption that that relay was never connected into the immobiliser. This is what I'm trying to verify, that my assumption is the most likely scenario and I'll go back to the alarm tech yet again that he needs to fix his work.      Here is the alarms wiring diagram, so my assumption is IM3A, IM3B, or both, aren't connected or improper. But this is all sealed up, with black wiring, and loomed
