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.

    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
    • Well the articals keep saying a Q50s (Skyline in Japan) with a new Manual gearbox. I like the talk about the new looks with the round tail lights. I hope they bring back the retro look like they did with the Z
