Hey guys so i finally installed my new highflow! drove around probably 20kms-30kms , it was great.. the power is unbelieviable pulls like crazy!! but then suddenly it siezed up! so i had to drive home checked it nothing looked wrong . Now could this be due to starvation from the oil? not much oil is coming in to the turbo? Is there a procedure we have to do before we install back in the turbo?

Thanks..

What sort of hi-flow?

If it was bush bearing, i do believe you cant just bolt on as the stock lines do not slow enough.

Similar to the Slide hi-flows that were being done, that required the oil line or something to be enlarged.

You didnt get enlarged lines or informed to put larger lines on there to start?

Or perhaps they are not needed... but then if others need enlargement i cant see how any other would be different regardless of warranty because its still a head fk to pull a turbo on/off labour wise

Interesting....

recently had head work done, and ended up with a cracked head.

while in diagnosis mode there was too much oil going into the Slide bush bearing highflow, due to tomei restrictors in the head

whilst that was fixed and the correct flow was managed (get a good tuner buddy! BoostWerx for the win) oil was still being burnt

new head was reflowed and ported etc with my stuff moved into it

retuned on dyno, with turbo copping a beating for 3yrs, for 226rwkw

bush bearing turbos arnt that bad. for $600 + a dead turbo its a great deal!

MUST ensure correct oil flow, but even with too little / too much you've got a window of opportunity to fix the issue before all hell breaks loose

good luck with the new oil lines

Ive always done atleast 100k's before i put the foot down to run it in. Bush bearing hiflows are crap though in all honesty.

BAHAHA its a known fact that bush bearing are far more hardy than BB.... dont post crap.

Ah now now Trent :P

You know as long as lower shaft speeds and oil pressure is observed then they are OK.

Soon as you go above things (or below) then things start to fail.

Same can indeed be said for ball bearing turbo's, infact BB items are overall more sensitive... fact remains though that anything can be killed. :thumbsup:

On a side note, when are you going to attend a damn cruise?

This is basically what that was:

25-11-06_1316.jpg

The high flowed turbo was fitted with stock oil line and bolted up with a stock oil feed screw. (on right) We did not carry out this installation.

Problem was on the standard oil restriction valve. The Turbo siezed up, without blowing smoke. It needs to have as much oil as possible to flow. Braided oil feed line is required to make this work.

All internal bearing components used in this high flow are original Garrett

what bolt is that on the left?

is that the one uz fitted to Geraus car??

whats the required inside diameter of the banjo bolt or fittings??

coz my speedflow fitting are the same size internal diameter as the one on the RIGHT(stock)..

but without the restriction in the bolt...

that will be fine, the restrictor on the stock fitting is about 1-2mm and the speedflow one is about 4mm from memory.

      Stagea Front CV Axle Question

      By soviet_merlin · Posted

      One year is a bit concerning. Did you try contacting GSP? It says 5 year warranty on the box if I remember correctly. I'm also running their driveshafts on my S2 Stagea.   You could check the part numbers on Amayama for your year. Here's the link for my 1998 which gives the 39100-23U60 part number. Well, that and 39100-23U70. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/epc/nissan-japan/stagea/wgnc34/6649-rb25det/trans/391 What does it say for yours?

      Stagea Front CV Axle Question

      By S1_C34 · Posted

      I ordered a GSP Front R/H Axle from here - https://justjap.com/products/gsp-premium-front-driveshaft-r-h-nissan-r32-r33-r34-skyline-gtr-stagea-4wd#description It lasted around a year before one of the boots blew out. I'm lowered, but I have GKTech roll center adjusters. One year seems a little premature. I think I'm going to spend the extra money on an OEM cv axle this time. This website - https://tfaspeed.com/collections/nissan-stagea-wgnc34-x-four-parts/products/nissan-stagea-awc34-260rs-rb26-right-front-axle-drive-assembly Makes it sound like the readily available OEM CV axle will only fit 11.1999 Stagea and up (mine is a 2.1997 S1). The JustJap listing didn't mention any years or anything for the GSP axle. Amayama shows '11.1999' and up as well for that part number. As well as 'plastic boot type'. See attached picture. So I guess my question is, does that axle (39100-23U60) really only fit S2 Stagea? It's the front driver side. If it does, I'd love to buy that instead of rolling the dice on another GSP. I've found that OEM one cheaper here: https://www.partsfornissans.com/oem-parts/nismo-jdm-r32-r33-r34-skyline-gtr-r32-gts4-right-front-axle-3910023u60 and here https://www.nissanparts.cc/oem-parts/nismo-shaft-ft-drive-3910023u60 Just a little confused because the JapSpeed listing for the GSP front driver axle doesn't mention any specific years or anything and it fit my S1 Stagea fine. So will 39100-23U60 fit my S1 Stagea even though technically it says '11.1999' and up? What would have changed? Thanks.

      Thanks for the info. The only "Issue" I've had with the shifter is I always found the throw between 4th and 6th gear too close. I'm always worried to shift into 4th accidently and sending my motor to the moon. Adam LZ recently came out with a video and stated Serialnine revised their shifters to correct this and will change all the revised parts for 150$. Strangely enough, I contacted Serialnine right after and they denied it and said it's bullshit. I found that strange as he's a distributer. I'll keep this forum post updated on that saga.

      Yep that is correct. It allows you to adjust the short throw range from what I can tell

      Car has been running great, I've put about 300km's of break in time on it. First thing that stands out with properly sealing rings is no more noticeable crankcase smell coming out of my catch can. This may seem insignificant, but the constant smell while driving around was infuriating. It's also nice to see my oil level remain stable. Two new issues have developed that I only noticed this weekend though. There's a very noticeable driveline vibration past 100kmh. I only noticed it now as I've been babying it under 100kmh in the backroads. This comes as no surprise as I'm running a one-piece shaft, and I paid zero attention to my driveshaft angle when I put everything back in. I also have a fair bit of voltage drop on hot starts. The starter audibly is forcing. No issues on cold start though. I must not have removed all the paint under my main block ground during assembly. I'll try and take care of both those issues this week once the kids are asleep.  I also received all the parts I was missing for my direct port setup. I will hopefully have pictures of that up soon. I'm hoping to get back on the dyno the week of June 30th as I'll be on vacation. I'm confident I should be able to make north of 500rwkw on pump gas and WMI. I'll go back again later this summer with E98, but I want to confirm my ethanol content sensor is working properly first. I've never seen it read anything but 11%. This makes sense for our 10% ethanol content pump gas here, but I would expect the occasional movement between fill ups.
