Check you boost actuator; if it's soft or lazy it will be opening the internal gate too early, causing turbo to be laggy and not boost up properly.

I would personally take it to a mechanic that has a dyno and knows how to diagnose these issues.

*cough* :ermm:

To set the actuator properly the hole on the actuator shaft should be about half a hole short from fitting on the gate pin. You then need to pull the arm so that the pin fits through the hole. This will provide the right preload/tension on the gate.

The std ecu normally runs pretty rich, so if you have a std 7psi actuator i would dare say it would be ok. If you do not have the money for an ecu and tune i would seriously find a w/shop doing a "dyno day", adjust the actuator just before going on the dyno and inform the tuner/mechanic of the situation and to keep an eye/ear out for a/f ratios and detonation. This way it will only cost you about $40-$50, instead of the $120+ w/shops may charge to do a single run.

All the best.

The rear housing is more of the restriction, not the front

VG30 machine jobbies always choke up

Made over 270rwkw@16psi with mine, proven both on EAS and Racingline dyno's. My old one is now hanging off the side of a std NEO engine making over 270rwkw@16psi too. Any more boost was useless as that's about the limitations of this turbo.

Hardly a "choke up" though :rolleyes:

If its @ a limit on 16psi, its choking.

the compressor of that combo is good for over 300

Hello all, I thought i would dig up an old thread.

Have since apgraded injectors AFM and have a blitz front mount and its currently making around 250rwkw on 15psi.

Anyway from other ppls results i have seen that with the 0.62 rear housing this turbo doesnt make much more after around 16psi which i'm nearly at. My question is it worth fitting an adjustable ex cam gear to this setup and getting a retune? I'm running the standard air box with a k&n filter and standard everything else.

Thanks again

James

PS: i did a search but most of the results were in regards to stock turbos. Thought mine might be a little different

you should be able to make more power with an adjustable exh cam gear (assuming you are not talking a NEO RB25DET). at the very least you should be able to move the power curve around to where it helps you the most. you can make 5-10kw from midrange to top end.

Also i'm lead to beleive that my 0.62 rear housing is holding me back in regards to top end power (is there any way of testing which side is hiolding me backCan anything be done to get some more out of it or do i have to bite the bullet and upgrade to a 0.82 (or whatever it is).

Thanks

James

check out what the mafia squeezed out of the 0.63 housing on his GT3076.

i am pretty sure you can make at least 270rwkw or thereabouts with the 0.63 housing.

the compressor will clearly flow more but it should make 250rwkw comfortably.

sure you dont want to add Tomei poncams and some head work :P

lol nah, cant comment on that ^ as I havent got my baby back yet, soon my pretties, soon ....

for a larger rear housing, turbo off/on etc, labour from shop, id say $600 to supply/replace rear housing?

    • Hey crew, Failed my WOF cause of a lower control arm, and I've decided to hit both arms, and also the compression rods at the same time(seems they're gonna be the most likely upcoming failure points from some discussions with the lads over on the G35 reddit). I've looking at these form Z1:  https://www.z1motorsports.com/front-suspension/hayaku-automotive/hayaku-g35-front-compression-rod-p-40716.html https://www.z1motorsports.com/front-suspension/hayaku-automotive/hayaku-g35-front-lower-control-arm-p-40674.html I asked Z1 if they'd work as it's the same platform, just RHD vs LHD. I basically got told "Lol dunno". Specifically they aren't aware of any difference but can't guarantee fitment as they haven't done it on a 350GT. So guess I'm asking is if there is any issues with using 2005 G35 coupe suspension parts on a 2005 350GT coupe? Orginally I thought it could be something in the way of the arms that each control arm is designed to be positioned around, but that'd be an engineering nightmare for Nissan needing two different shaped control arms 😅
    • ^ This. The mode door actuator is a common failure, as is the actuator and/or the actual valve for the coolant flow control valve. I also don't know how available the mode door actuator is these days. I've been meaning to look into it and get one from wherever is possible, to keep in the shed for the rainy day when mine eventually fails. Anyway, the advice to you is to search the usual NOS part supply places, or even just go to Nissan and see what they list.
    • Have you got a pic of the actuator? My guess is that unit has failed internally and was flopping around, so the previous engineer who owned it forced it to be fully open to cold air (blocking the heater core path). As far as you can tell, is anything else wrong in the system? Likely you just need a new actuator (not sure how available they are) and then "installation is the reverse of disassembly"
    • I'm happy with the Lsailt unit that I put in, it puts full Android on the top screen so you can run whatever Nav and other Apps you want, while still existing inside the factory functionality like automatic reverse cams, audio input switching, retains factory bluetooth etc. Not cheap and the install was moderate (not simple, not hard) Yours is a V36 not V37 though right?
    • Yeap, all the NC's that I originally looked at that had a hard top were PRHT, which makes the roof line look horrible, hence why I said nope to them My only caveat for another MX5 was it needed to have a hard top, and initially I didn't think you could get a detachable hard top for the NC,  like my NB had Again, a big thanks to Matty for helping me source the detachable hard top for my little girl, they are as rare as hens teeth in Australia, and the few people who have them, keep them Also to Greg, for initially pointing me in the NC direction NC PRHT 🤢🤮 Not mine (I really should take more photos of my car), but a NC with the detachable hard top 😁 To me, the difference in how the detachable hard top roof line looks, and how it actually follows the bodies lines, like they do on NA's and NB's, is chalk and cheese compared to the bulbous looking PRHT
