ok help

where do i start, R33GTR had; power FC, pods, exhaust, camgears....great fun, loose traction a bit, nice low down power

wanted more power, now im running; big 115 FMIC, LINK G4 no AFM's, 770, profect b, custom dumps, nismo pump, and one of the most talked about subject 2860-5's, everything new.

320awkw, tuned for torque, 7200 RPM limit, 18lbs.

got the car back and really miss my low down power. i realise these turbos a more for mid-upper top end power now, but i didnt think they would be this laggy, i think now i should have gone for the -7's? dam

questions; turbos are making the 'cho cho noise' the whole time, not on deaceleration, or holding throttle, like my old ones(standard) did, but now when accelerating, sounds like they are fighting each other, irratating.

engine light on, on full boost

ticking noise from turbos when boost starts to come on (internal wastegates?)

i know these turbos are for around 350-400AWKW, but i dont want to crank the boost, destroy the engine but the car feels so lifeless, will uping boost give me a lil more low down power? or go to the -7's?

good news which i will post in gearbox seaction, HKS twin plate, light weight flywheel, real easy to use, no stalling easy as!

when i started these mods about 1 year ago didnt know anything about modding these cars, so went on my mechanics advice, so please no lectures :P

my mechanic is 550km away so any help would be great on the noises

cheers

Thats really strange; I would have said your clutch was slipping but having read you got a twin plate.....

sounds like the engine isnt using the boost so the intake system is pressurising like if you were closing the throttlebody. Might indicate a blockage; maybe oil in the intercooler, badly dialed in intake cam gear??

hey, i did tell him to leave stock BOV's, but he said they where leaking/not holding pressure? sorry dont no what BOV he put in but said they where holding pressure, piping no not stock, all custom made intake etc

both

ive talked to all the best gtr tuners in our lovely country for my big power app and they all say the same thing.

Stock piping and stock bovs are the best way to go on a gtr... changing the piping will unfortunately increase turbo shuffling.

if u want to minimise it, got back to stock bovs n stock piping.

Ben from RacePace even laughed when i suggested that i wanted to run all hks piping from afms all the way to the plenum... stock is best :D

going back to stock will help.

ben explained to me that the reason by the stock bovs r the best ones for the job is because they are one of the few bovs that actually stay open under light throttle which apparently help to minimise shuffling

just reading in the 'search" seaction some peopls saying BOV's arent the main problem, maybe advance the timing?

im just going by what one of the best gtr tuners are saying. thats all

if u wanna take someone else word over his, thats cool :D

just letting u know what he told me... im running a pair of 2871r's -10's so theyre rather large twins and thats the best way for me to minimise shuffling.

just so know u.. im a mechanic and timing wont do anything to avoid shuffling... its about the turbos producing boost @ different stages.. thats it...

    • Nah that is not actually a lot. Just painting my GTR frontend and the little bits to make sideskirts/nismo flare pieces work correctly/fit on the sedan/mount up correctly came to about $7000. Is it a lot? Sure. None of this is economical. Economy would be shelling the car and buying a 2010 Corolla to commute in. The perspective of all of this is different.
    • I have the 2025 build re003s’ on my 06 XT Forester Turbo and I quite rate them for street wet and dry
    • I don't see any issues here. I've been saying all along this is a big job, the price reflects that.  When the car comes back perfect I'm sure it will feel like money well spent. 
    • Remember, take original quote. Double it. Then add a bit more. It's how any project goes.
    • So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
