Hi,

Im just wondering if anyone has experienced a similar problem. Ive got a GT35r high mount turbo on an RB26, and i had the dumpipe and exhaust fabricated while the turbo had a 0.82ar turbine housing. Ive since had to change to a 1.06ar turbine housing and, while the turbo sits in exactly the same position, the exhaust now doesnt line up by a significant margin. I understand the housings are different, but i would have thought that they may have been interchangable without significant modification to the exhaust.

The reason why im asking is that i also took my exhaust off, so im wondering whether its the new turbine housing or (incorrect) fitment of the exhaust.

Has anyone had experience whith this problem?

Thanks,

Shaun.

Isnt the turbine housing a bit longer? to makeup the 1.06?

Not just wider... hrm. I cant remember when i had a .63 and .82 what the difference was side by side.

If it is longer, then that would indeed push the whole setup back "X" amount and thus things wouldnt line up.

^^^^^^ Thats what i wanted to know, thanks.

It doesnt really make sense; the dump pipe is in exactly the same position as it was with the 0.82; if it was out even slightly it would foul on something because the tolerances in that part of the engine bay are so tight. Something else is going on but im buggered if i know what it is. There is only one way an exhaust can go on!

Oh, i dont have the 0.82 anymore to compare.

Shaun.

Theyre both external gate.

Aparently the boost was uncontrollable with the 0.82 housing, hitting about 17 psi at about 2000 rpm. This was with a 9:1 compression ratio and 44mm external gate. Hopefully it'll be a little more relaxed with the 1.06 housing. Ive just gotta get that f**king exhaust modified first.

Shaun.

17 psi at 2000 rpm, i dont think so. would be near double that.

Why dont you think so, mate? Thats why im going through this whole process. If it made 17psi at 4000rpm id be happy, and not be bothered changing to the 1.06. Besides, its an atypical engine set up.

I dont know what your basis was for making that comment.

Oh just seems alot faster then anyone else is getting, i wish my setup would perform like this! Id be very happy.

    • Was there ever a model of the Stagea m35 that didnt have a badge on the grill? I thought I saw that somewhere, some aero edition or something? I cant find it again? davemoto
    • Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.
    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
