As with f.pumps, inj's, ECU's etc, I would personally only use something proven. Theres a reason the known brands are 300%-600% more exspensive.

Just my boo boo view :)

yeah i get your point and agree but i think brands like turbosmart are way overpriced. i just dont see the value for money. looks like i will have to bight the bullet though and buy a turbosmart one,

thanks

i just dont see the value for money.

I love a bargain priced car part as much as the next guy, but id rather pay once for something that lasts and doesnt break than pay for a failure and then the top end model part

Im not saying the JJR one is shit. But i am saying the turbosmart one is proven :)

Local merchants of poverty IMO

So much mark up, $1,100 for thier 50mm? Thats %10 less then the HKS GTII

TiAL is US$600'ish for thier 50mm.

Just saying humbug to Turbosmart,

EDITED:

True, but TiAL is more proven'ed :P

i think i may just get GCG to bore out my internal wastegate hole....$395 to bore it out from 27mm too 37mm. problem im having is it just isnt flowing enough and im getting massive boost creep because of it. but my main prob with this is the turbo is a new gt3540r IW and why havent garrett done the maths to allow the internal gate to flow enough???? its not as though im only trying to run 10psi... im trying to run 18-19psi through it and still get boost creep at the top of the rev rang as high as 24psi. my tuner surgested going 50mm external but its just too much trouble, and im not sure there will be enough room on my exhaust manifold to weld a external wastegate pipe into the collector area.

thanks

Justin

    • That looks good, but I think you're going to need much beefier side skirts now.
    • They are daft and there's a reason it never caught on. Steering feel? We don't need no stinking steering feel!
    • I gotta pull you up on this. It's driving me crazy. A shutter is something that closes, like over a window or in a cmera. The word you want is shudder. That LSD is clearly f**ked. Take it to a diff shop and get it disassembled and examined by an expert. YOu might have plates welded together or something equally crazy.
    • Define "starting to fail". Wy not just rebuild them?
    • Check the Nistune doco. There are a few assumptions being made here that might not be valid. I will list the things that occur to me: Base map. Base map for what? Base map for Z32? Then the cranking pulse width is probably wrong for an RB25. The extra 500cc of capacity might well be enough to prevent it from catching. Base map for RB25? I don't think you can load one of those into a Z32. You have to just make the settings correct for an RB25 in the Z32 base map. That is either K or the TIM to get the pulsewidth right. Loom. You bought a loom for an RB. And you plugged it into a Z32 ECU. Did you make sure that any iwre differences were swapped. From memory, there's at least a couple. And as per the others, I would suggest making sure that the fuel pressure is correct while cranking and that the injectors are actually flowing as expected. They really must come out and go on the bench, unless you do find that you have messed up as per above points. I would also suggest watching in Nistune to make sure that everything is reading correctly. That the correct binary flags are raised at the right time (like the crank signal), that there's no stupid values in K or TIM. That you have not got mismatched firmware for the ECU and/or a wrong image loaded.
