I got a new turbo put on, and used a 1.06 rear housing instead of a .82 rear and the car sounds allot deeper then before, the engine sounds the same and runs really good but the exaust note is tuffer and deeper...

oh its a GT3540 with 1.06 it used to be .82 ar and front is the same.

I was wondering if this is normal or should i look for a exaust leak or something ;)

I very much doubt its an exhaust leak mate, but obviously check the gaskets and what not.

Exhaust leak will generally sound alot louder, and not "tuff", "deep" or "throaty" but more rattly.

On a side note, how is the car to drive with such a large housing?

The 1.06 on the 30det isn't too bad surprisingly.. It makes 1bar+ a little before 4000rpm.

The only real difference to the smaller .82 is the .82 begins making boost much earlier in the rpm; the larger 1.06 seems to make no boost no boost then within 400-500rpm it brings it all on but linear and smooth.

The 1.06 you loose that windmill feel at low rev's part throttle but by all means they still feel quite good on the 3ltr.

Not sure about you question but i have one for you!

What do you reckon of the bigger rear?

Yeah its good i wreckon, i can feel the car feels much more free off boost, and it seems to make 5psi by 3300rpm and full boost 1bar by about 3800. I have not upped the boost past 1 bar yet because i spent all my money on this turbo so there not even enough money to pay for extra fuel for road tuning either.

Its good, I am thinking it has the same power at 9psi then it used to have at 15. So 20psi will be interesting, before i made 363rwkw on 25psi now it will be making that on 18psi i wreckon. Should be interesting

i would say that yes the larger housing would change the exhaust note, after all it is flowing a lot more freely, and is a larger chamber compared to before.

got lag at all tho?

Yes it raised the rpm for boost by about 300 - 400rpm

To the people inquiring about lag, he is running an RB30DET. From the dyno sheets i have seen they are normaly well on their way to making boost by 4000 rpm with the 1.06 rears.

mmmm yes. RB30DET.

Here are some pics from my mission last weekend, i took my time with it and used my old housings and gtr_etr sent me his 1.06 to swap with my .82 from QLD, thanks mate!... oh it took me about 4 hours all up to change it over by myself.

Have a look at the pics, i couldnt believe the difference between the two.

I know no one probly cares.. but i had some interesting fun with this new turbino on my car tonight

I gave it a quick street tune, just 3 hits in second gear only to fix the arf's up, got it down to 11.3 afr and far out.

I would have to say it has close to the same power before on only 18psi of boost.

This car is now going to be an animal, i was shocked after the third run and did not hit boost again, bit hairy going sideways and stuff.

cant wait to spend a few hours on the dyno with it. and on the map tracer you can see that the boost does come on 400rpm later, it goes to full load 19 at rev point 12 when before it used to be 11.

not bad! im going to like this new setup :)

the larger housing is now on and yes it does alter the exhausrt note. Power comes on later tho that is to be expected on a 25.

The engine is on a mild tune at the moment making 335 killer wasps at 20 lb.

No timing or cam dial in yet. thats next weeks project I am hoping it may bring boost on a tad earlier as I dont think the power delivery would be much chop for track work. Any hoos, we'll see what happens with a few more pound of boost and some cam and timing work.

nah not yet, but i would like to once its tuned up

Sounds awesome.To you take the car to the strip much?
nice work guilt-toy

Sorry I missed your calls yesterday too - Left my phone in the car.

I still think you should put the WMI kit on and aim for 400rwkw :P

thats cool man, i will ring you in a sec

mine is a rb30det, so its not tooo bad.

these turbos are great for rb's !! my car sounds sooo much tuffer, especially in the mid range and just before it hits limiter, and when it hits limiter man it sounds like a animal! on low boost. i dunno if i will go much further then 22psi this time around

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By sunsetR33 · Posted

      One thing I can tell you is, do it properly the first time. If you encounter unexpected problems just let the car sit for a week or two if you have to get some other parts or figure stuff out.  I'd have said go and use as many OEM parts as possible but since you want to change the turbo later on a custom kit is probably the better choice. Since I have no experience with RB25 just compare parts diagrams and images before buying a line kit and it should be easy to see if it has everything you need. Amayama has very good parts diagrams and part number lists, that is what I used a bunch to figure out what I might need. And don't forget to plan ahead and possibly renew other stuff that's easy to get to while you're in there doing the turbo lines. Happy wrenching

      Update 4:   Hi all, good news. Engine is running and all the gaskets and seals seem to be working as intended. No leaks so far, even the JB Weld seems to hold. I flushed out the old coolant a few times and put in fresh coolant, not Nissan stuff, I decided to try the Ravenol Protect FL22, they claim it works for a wide variety of JDM cars and the opinions on it by some people were pretty good. And it has the nice poison green color! And man am I glad I bought a coolant system tester earlier this year, vacuum filling works wonders on this engine. I can definitely recommend this to anyone still doing it the old school way. All you need is compressed air supply. Will have to do a small test drive as soon as I can, I removed the gauge cluster again as the tacho needle was still bouncing around a bit but it was much better than before already.  I also found some cracks on all 4 tires inner and outer sidewalls. Apparently these tires should 't be parked on for extended periods or be kept under 0 degrees during storage, which I did not know. Clearly the previous owner didn't look into those details either, he probably bought them just cause they are cool semi-slicks. I'm just wondering how tf I am supposed to reach 30-80 degree tire temperatures on the public road consistenly, these tires were never going to work for my use case. I'll probably order Continental SportContact7 ones as these are the best allround summer tire available right now and I don't think I'll need anything crazier for now. Do let me know if you have experience with various tires and which ones you recommend.

      Not going to pretend I didn't do a bit of junky work this time around, but mostly due to the fact that some things I am not willing to spend days fixing right now, like wiring. I try to do most things properly the first time around.

      Regardless of neglect or incompetence, fixing either is tedious and annoying. Most of the neglect on my car is definitely rust. I hope I can at least pass inspections later on and they won't fail the car due to slightly corroded hardlines. I was generous with rust converter and wax and it looks ok, most lines in the rear are hard to see properly anyways.  Definitely will test them though to make sure they don't rupture under pressure, in that case the car isn't going anywhere this year.
