better than my wife loosing both her grandparents in the last 4 days... :(

Sorry to hear mate... that's terrible.

About to go to jaycar to get shit to fix my dodgy speedo

I love a good jaycar trip :) and how's the turbo holding out mang?

Happy new year to everyone by the way! 2010 was a pretttttttttty good year overall for me...hoping 2011 will be even better.

Anyone?

My knowledge of different turbos is limited to "Ooohhh... pretty..."

3076's are meant to be very good turbo's for rb25's. very responsive and deliver great power. I would prefer one of those for my car, rather than my current turbo, due to very similar power with better response.

with that turbo, you would obviously need to also upgrade your computer and fuel system.

so to cut it short, it's probably one of the better turbos going around for the 25, if that's the power you are chasing

highflows are also a good option, if you aren't after 300rwkw, due to response and bolting straight on

the gtrs is also meant to be a good turbo, with a slightly lower power rating than the 3076, but better response, but kits are quite pricey and you don't see too many second hand examples floating around.

And i just happen to have a couple of externally gated 30/76's laying around. :whistling:

Could I run it with my current computer and fuel setup, just lowish boost (Maybe 10-12psi) until I get around to doing the ECU and injectors?

Anything internally gated just 'lying around'?

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooo

theoretically, you could, but not recommended. completely different sized turbo, pushing completely different masses of air. the engine would run, but god knows what would be going on with your fuel air ratios.

if you are planning on keeping the stock computer and injectors for a while, but need to change your turbo, high flow or maybe a r34 turbo would be your best options, as they are close to stock and would do the job until you upgraded. you could probably get away with only doing the ecu if you went down that option.

God damnit, think my turbo's starting to have issues now as well.

Second time it's happened this week, when warm, and boosting around 5-7psi both times it happened... this weird noise that soundsd kinda of like a duck quacking.

So it's like.... vrrrrr + induction sucking sound + turbo spooling + excitement building + QUAACCCKKK = lose power and rev down again.

It's not fuel/boost cut, I've had that happen before. Sounds like arse, whatever the f**k it is.

Maybe a good excuse for an upgrade? Are you running an rb25 in your 31 Martin? I never had any idea lol

Hahahahaha that's great, I want one!

What's involved in putting an R34 turbo on my R33? I know the R34's have a larger OP6 rear housing, but how does that translate in practical use? Do I need to change anything else to suit? Or does it just bolt up samesame to my R33?

as far as I have read, it's a straight fit, but I am sure someone with actual experience in doing it might be able to confirm for sure, just in case some of the lines don't line up and need modifying.

Surely as the AFM would keep measuring the mass of air though, so as long as you kept the mass of air within the stock ecu's tuned range it would be OK? My ecu has been chipped for more boost than std.

My turbo is already a 34 turbo, the other upgrade option would be a high flow. Can I get away with the stock ECU for a while with a high flow?

Group buy on high flow turbos? Sounds kind of like the noise mine is making, but mine doesn't lose power. Turbo still holds boost just sounds horrible while doing it. And it starts making the noise basically as soon as it comes on boost.

Yeah 25 in my 31, with an R34 turbo.

It has been raining, you checked under the bonnet to see if you haven't got a duck under there?

I check for ducks every time it rains, sneaky little buggers have a habit of getting in there. I blame skins.

Should basically be a straight fit. You might need to add a fitting somewhere for a vac line if there isn't one on your intake piping, from memory the 33s have it on the turbo and the 34s have it on the piping. I got a fitting welded on the turbo elbow for mine.

That's what she said.

Emanage would do heaps better than SAFC

Emanage does your ignition & injectors as well as bending air flow (which is all SAFC does)

I was in the process of saving my pennies to buy an Emanage blue off a mate in late january... but now that may have to wait due to recent developments. In any case, that's the path I'm going down.

Turbo

Clean & flow test injectors

Maybe FPR if needed

Emanage blue

Win

Turbo upgrade was going to come after the computer, way down the track, if needed. Should be able to get over 200rwkw on stock turbo, even up to like 230+.

    • See if you can thermal epoxy a heatsink or two onto it?
    • The other problem was one of those "oh shit we are going to die moments". Basically the high spec Q50s have a full electric steering rack, and the povo ones had a regular hydraulic rack with an electric pump.  So couple of laps into session 5 as I came into turn 2 (big run off now, happily), the dash turned into a christmas tree and the steering became super heavy and I went well off. I assumed it was a tyre failure so limped to the pits, but everything was OK. But....the master warning light was still on so I checked the DTCs and saw – C13E6 “Heat Protection”. Yes, that bloody steering rack computer sitting where the oil cooler should be has its own sensors and error logic, and decided I was using the steering wheel too much. I really appreciated the helpful information in the manual (my bold) POSSIBLE CAUSE • Continuing the overloading steering (Sports driving in the circuit etc,) “DATA MONITOR” >> “C/M TEMPERATURE”. The rise of steering force motor internal temperature caused the protection function to operate. This is not a system malfunction. INSPECTION END So, basically the electric motor in the steering rack got to 150c, and it decided to shut down without warning for my safety. Didn't feel safe. Short term I'll see if I can duct some air to that motor (the engine bay is sealed pretty tight). Long term, depending on how often this happens, I'll look into swapping the povo spec electric/hydraulic rack in. While the rack should be fine the power supply to the pump will be a pain and might be best to deal with it when I add a PDM.
    • And finally, 2 problems I really need to sort.  Firstly as Matt said the auto trans is not happy as it gets hot - I couldn't log the temps but the gauge showed 90o. On the first day I took it out back in Feb, because the coolant was getting hot I never got to any auto trans issues; but on this day by late session 3 and then really clearly in 4 and 5 as it got hotter it just would not shift up. You can hear the issue really clearly at 12:55 and 16:20 on the vid. So the good news is, literally this week Ecutek finally released tuning for the jatco 7 speed. I'll have a chat to Racebox and see what they can do electrically to keep it cooler and to get the gears, if anything. That will likely take some R&D and can only really happen on track as it never gets even warm with road use. I've also picked up some eye wateringly expensive Redline D6 ATF to try, it had the highest viscosity I could find at 100o so we will see if that helps (just waiting for some oil pan gaskets so I can change it properly). If neither of those work I need to remove the coolant/trans interwarmer and the radiator cooler and go to an external cooler....somewhere.....(goodbye washer reservoir?), and if that fails give up on this mad idea and wait for Nissan to release the manual 400R
    • So, what else.... Power. I don't know what it is making because I haven't done a post tune dyno run yet; I will when I get a chance. It was 240rwkw dead stock. Conclusion from the day....it does not need a single kw more until I sort some other stuff. It comes on so hard that I could hear the twin N1 turbos on the R32 crying, and I just can't use what it has around a tight track with the current setup. Brakes. They are perfect. Hit them hard all day and they never felt like having an issue; you can see in the video we were making ground on much lighter cars on better tyres under brakes. They are standard (red sport) calipers, standard size discs in DBA5000 2 piece, Winmax pads and Motul RBF600 fluid, all from Matty at Racebrakes Sydney. Keeping in mind the car is more powerful than my R32 and weighs 1780, he clearly knows his shit. Suspension. This is one of the first areas I need to change. It has electronically controlled dampers from factory, but everything is just way too soft for track work even on the hardest setting (it is nice when hustling on country roads though). In particular it rolls into oversteer mid corner and pitches too much under hard braking so it becomes unstable eg in the turn 1 kink I need to brake early, turn through the kink then brake again so I don't pirouette like an AE86. I need to get some decent shocks with matched springs and sway bars ASAP, even if it is just a v1 setup until I work out a proper race/rally setup later. Tyres. I am running Yoko A052 in 235/45/18 all round, because that was what I could get in approximately the right height on wheels I had in the shed (Rays/Nismo 18x8 off the old Leaf actually!). As track tyres they are pretty poor; I note GTSBoy recently posted a porker comparo video including them where they were about the same as AD09.....that is nothing like a top line track tyre. I'll start getting that sorted but realistically I should get proper sized wheels first (likely 9.5 +38 front and 11 +55 at the rear, so a custom order, and I can't rotate them like the R32), then work out what the best tyre option is. BTW on that, Targa Tas had gone to road tyres instead of semi slicks now so that is a whole other world of choices to sort. Diff. This is the other thing that urgently needs to be addressed. It left massive 1s out of the fish hook all day, even when I was trying not too (you can also hear it reving on the video, and see the RPM rising too fast compared to speed in the data). It has an open diff that Infiniti optimistically called a B-LSD for "Brake Limited Slip Diff". It does good straight line standing start 11s but it is woeful on the track. Nismo seem to make a 2 way for it.
    • Also, I logged some data from the ECU for each session (mostly oil pressures and various temps, but also speed, revs etc, can't believe I forgot accelerator position). The Ecutek data loads nicely to datazap, I got good data from sessions 2, 3 and 4: https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-2?log=0&data=7 https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-3?log=0&data=6 https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-4?log=0&data=6 Each session is cut into 3 files but loaded together, you can change between them in the top left. As the test sessions are mostly about the car, not me, I basically start by checking the oil pressure (good, or at least consistent all day). These have an electrically controlled oil pump which targets 25psi(!) at low load and 50 at high. I'm running a much thicker oil than recommended by nissan (they said 0w20, I'm running 10w40) so its a little higher. The main thing is that it doesn't drop too far, eg in the long left hand fish hook, or under brakes so I know I'm not getting oil surge. Good start. Then Oil and Coolant temp, plus intercooler and intake temps, like this: Keeping in mind ambient was about 5o at session 2, I'd say the oil temp is good. The coolant temp as OK but a big worry for hot days (it was getting to 110 back in Feb when it was 35o) so I need to keep addressing that. The water to air intercooler is working totally backwards where we get 5o air in the intake, squish/warm it in the turbos (unknown temp) then run it through the intercoolers which are say 65o max in this case, then the result is 20o air into the engine......the day was too atypical to draw a conclusion on that I think, in the united states of freedom they do a lot of upsizing the intercooler and heat exchanger cores to get those temps down but they were OK this time. The other interesting (but not concerning) part for me was the turbo speed vs boost graph: I circled an example from the main straight. With the tune boost peaks at around 18psi but it deliberately drops to about 14psi at redline because the turbos are tiny - they choke at high revs and just create more heat than power if you run them hard all the way. But you can also see the turbo speed at the same time; it raises from about 180,000rpm to 210,000rpm which the boost falls....imagine the turbine speed if they held 18psi to redline. The wastegates are electrically controlled so there is a heap of logic about boost target, actual boost, delta etc etc but it all seems to work well
