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+.

    • Well, yes, every CU on the bus is available via the Consult port, but whether the scanner you are using is capable of talking to the TCU, the ABS/TCS modules, etc etc, is what is at question here. Many of them are only for engine codes. So, if you have one of those, you won't know if the ABS is having a bitch.
    • That's now. R chassis Skylines come from a time when the tolerance in the ADRs was a bit more....slack. My car, on 235/35-17, which is damn near the exact same size as the original 205/55-16, is pretty much bang on correct indicated speed across the whole legal range. That's demonstrated with constant speed run over 5km, and GPS speed. It's just the luck of the draw. My particular speedo head has to be the thing that is "calibrated" that way, because everything else (the diff ratio, the gearbox and the speedo drive**) are all same same as most other Skylines. **OK, so the speedo drive is a Navara unit to drive the R32's cable, not the electronic unit than an R33/4 would normally have with teh same gear on it. Otherwise, I applaud your OCD tendencies, and I would do the same if I needed to.
    • Not too sure, I believe the Nissan consult port does everything? Also just filled up the reservoir to full and the light is still on. The float seems to move up and down fine.
    • The speedo's can be very conservative, when my Mazda NC MX5 speedo is showing 118kph, the GPS, and a calibrated radar.... cop mate.....hits me at around 110kph +/- 1 or 2 kph, and that is on a 215/45 17, stock tyres size is 205/45 17 as well, so weirdly conservative with stock tyre size When my Commodore speedo red 116kph GPS had me at 110kph on 255/40 17, so again conservative Google says manufacturers need to set the speedo from 4 to 10% slower than actual road speed.....for safety.....and compliance  After doing some offset and clearance measurements to see what can fit the NC on 17x8 +40, without guard rolling or rubbing anything at my current ride height, I've decided that when my tyres are toast, I'm going to fit 225/45 17 and see where that gets me IRT actual speed of my speedo and GPS/radar From the online calculator I should be still be doing around 5kph under an actual 110kph when the speedo is showing 110kph My ADHD requires that when I'm doing 110kph on the speedo, that the actual road speed is actually really close to that, and not alot slower And going from 205 to 225 still keeps the car within the %/mm allowable in the NSW vehicle rules and regulations, which is nice, as long as I'm looking at the latest version that is.....LOL https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-13.464-Light-vehicle-modifications-Vehicle-Standards-Information-No-6-November-2013.pdf
    • Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.
