Ahhh...I know what you mean now!! About the inducer. Yes, the inducer on the 52T showed does look like it is tapered whereas yours goes straight down. But, having said that...I am sure I remember looking at mine the other time and it does fall straight down, but maybe that was on the 56T - that was on my car. I will check tonight to see if it's so and if there is a difference between the 52T and the 56T inducer. But if you hadn't said that I wouldn't have noticed. You're very observant :D

Hmm...not sure how much better the GT-RS is, but I believe it would be better being a newer designed turbo. I thought it was supposed to supercede the 2540 which was supposed to be more laggy and give only a small increase in power. I would pay the extra money and buy the GT-RS new.

Steve: I thought the GT3037S was the only "S" turbo, and as such is the only turbo to have the inducer? I know the GT2835R also has a 100mm inlet, but no inducer. The same thing goes for the GT3240. I didn't know there was another "S" turbo?

Yeah, I wonder what the rationale is behind the turbo prices.

My 2835 ProS has a T3. I think standard 2835 have something different. HKS USA site has them all. I also have a 044 in tank. I do however have surge problems. I am informed 044's are best at pushing and not sucking. I know other people however that do not have fuel surge problems.

Steve-Do you have fuel surge problems? Mine can happen as low as half a tank. Did you fit yours yourself. Even your favoured James from D1 said 044 can have this problem sujesting to go GTR pump. Another rumour is that the filter supplied with 044 is not as pourous as standard. Everyone wants to give me a surge tank. Firstly I will pull the pump myself and check. It was fitted by a reputable mechanic.

Well I havent been giving it much yet, because it isnt tuned to the new injectors, just correction via the power fc.

I drove it just on empty, took 57 litres to fill and no probs.

Richard (also D1) gave me a hand fitting it - got me to trace around the stock pump on a piece of cardboard to make sure the pickup (transferred from the stock pump) was in exactly the same spot.

The other major problem (according to richard) is that sometimes, because it is quite difficult, the pump doesnt get put in the tank quite to the same depth as the stock one, therefore problems when the fuel level gets down.

It took a little massaging of the locating lugs on the stock bracket, but eventually got it in place properly, so the pickup sits right on the bottom - but all seems fine so far, touch wood.

INASNT, I dont think it is a major problem if you get a turbo with a GT25 flange, just get an adaptor plate made up - costing me about $50 (from memory) to get one made (Evan-PSI Fabrication), and that is matched to the manifold and turbine housing.

    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go.
