Hey guys,

my turbo went LOL... so i need to get some that gives me abit more power!!

but havent got lots of cash to spend...

i just got a new dump pipe a month ago... and i been looking at all these different turbos

and they have got wierd rear end housing connections

i just want something to bolt straight inplace, and give me 300-350 RWHP @ 16PSI

i got forged internals but dont wanna go to much!!!

=) please explain how the farkk do i connect that wierd housing to my stock style front/dump

Thanks

any places in perth that sell decent NEW turbos at a reasonable price ....

umm are Garrett GT35## any good? heard u can get em for 1300 ish

Hey mate

you have a couple of different options..

the gt35r wont be a bolt on and is too much of an overkill for 300-350rwhp so thats out

a real GT30r would be a good option, and will easily get you the power your chasing but isnt a direct bolt

get a disco potato (normally on sr20's), would be very responsive on the rb25, get the power your chasing and bolt straight in

You could just get a 2nd hand skyline turbo for $350-400, have it at 14psi and but only have 270-280rwhp

You could spend 2k and hiflow your current turbo, which will get your power level and bolt straight in

but if your replacing your turbo with an aftermaket turbo, i would allow atleast 2k as a budjet

hope that helps

This has been covered a billion times.

Try searching,you will get dozens of threads on this subject.

yeah but i been looking.. no1 covers how the hell they fit up and all that shizzle!!

looks to me that you needa mod ur front/dump to suit most the turbos out there... so lame, considering i just got my front dump LOL

Dude they do cover how they fit up...

-What power they return

-How much boost people use

-What other parts (like manifolds and so on) people employ.

-Other supporting mods and so on

I think you need to spend some time reading :ninja:

A GT3540 is a 450-500rwhp turbo choice for a start, and generally not a turbo without a 5-7k bottom end :D

Please do some more reading.

The FI Guide had some brilliant links for beginners and skylines

Cheers

    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
