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.

    • Jax Tyres Smithfeild Ive gone there a few time, well for tyres. on my 3rd visit I spoke to the dude and told how i just got slugged for rotors, brakes ect. His reply was golden; have you read whats on the front of the building. Never forgot it.       before picture, good friend got all these goodies installed.  Well time to study, servicing, maintenance all before this weekend driving lesson.  
    • Hello, first of, I’ve looked at many threads on this code but none have helped me, if you know one that will help me feel free to post a link.   Now to my problem. Recently I was driving and noticed the check engine light came on. I went home and did the test to see what code it gave. I got the 21 code but everything seems fine with the car, no misfire, idle is good, acceleration is the same as when I bought it. I mean no signs of obvious failure. If no misfire is happening I can rule out the coil packs right? Which is about 98% of posts saying it is. If anyone has had this happen and found the issues let me know please. No other lights are on.   The car WAS due for an oil change. I since then changed it so idk if that triggers code 21. Either way it hasn’t turned off.
    • Your both right, it may hold a bit longer then.  Soon I need to change the synchros, should I fit the billet plate while I'm at it? Or just a waste of money?
    • Some of the east coast US Stagea got together this past weekend at Lime Rock Park in CT for Grid Life Circuit Legends. This is probably my favorite pic of the shoot with @Morgan.Mundahl on IG. Hope we get more stags out next year! i think I spotted 5 other than my own at the event.
