That car was with the Nistune with Z32 ECU.

Manifold is good as in haven't cracked yet and there is a slight improvement in up top torque. I will install the G3 back in and see if there are any advantages in overall performance before making quantity and offer to sell.

This housing make lot more down low torque, pretty good to drive as daily.

Can you please PM me with your experience of these guys? I'm not using this turbo but I have some tuning work i need done soon and I have been considering these guys as they are just up the road from me.

For those in WA or Perth with a Hypergear turbo, i would suggest taking it to Garage 101 to get it tuned.

I've mainly had WA customers experiencing problems with tuning, which is also the first time it cames to my awareness as an issue. I've never thought the "tune" would make that much difference as most tuners I've used in Melbourne are good and getting close results.

Also make sure the car is running 100% before taking to the tuners, most of them would just chuck it on the dyno without knowing if there is an issue. becuase of that, figures could be way off the norm and possibly cause damanges to the engine.

I wouldn't blame the tuners around here in the sense that the tune itself is bad, but one thing I can say about a lot of Perth workshops is they don't go the extra mile to diagnose your car. My current tuner and my last tuner are both the same, they are more than willing to help if I'm telling them what I want done but they don't have much to say if it doesn't work as expected. I guess that's fair enough too, they are busy people, but I see the likes of Jez and Trent on here helping people out left right and center and you can tell it translates into their work.

I might give Garage 101 a go if my next tune doesn't have any luck, but unfortunately they are a bit far away from me, can't trailer the car there for the next tune. Looking forward to seeing how it goes though, I'll update when I have a result.

Everything seems to be on track with my build.

The SS1PU is in the car and just waiting on a 24mm socket to fix up the water lines.

Holy hell it was a job and a half in slowly bending the lines to suit the turbo.

The 3' intake is currently on its way.

Should have results by Saturday for everyone.

Please post pics of the intake pipe if u can, where'd did u get it made and how much? Or backyard jobbie.

Scotty mn35 he spends most of his time in the fabrication section.

He is knocking me up one with all the joiners included for around $250

Spray it black and that's a nice looking intake pipe you have there. I'm getting Racepace to make me up one = $$$$ lol.

How long do you think the whole job will have taken you by the time you're done? In retrospect would you have paid someone else to do it instead?

With any luck I might have my results by tomorrow night :)

I hope you have the results by tomorrow Birds that would be great.

To be honest I love learning as much as I can about my car so it was worth the time it took.

I started on Tuesday last week with pulling the front bar off respraying that and cleaning the intercooler.

Then I had to wait for a few parts to show up and so all up I think you could do it in 3-4 afternoons.

1 Afternoon taking the dump off and the turbo.

1 Afternoon wiring up the Z32 AFM + Bashing the gutts of the Cat

1 and half afternoons fitting the turbo back and fixing the dump

Stao which G3 model would you recommend for an RB30DET? (older .82 model or FNT revision)

Assume it is a slapper aiming for a very punchy 300rwkw. Will be heavily tracked.

Thanks mate, yeah spray it black as Birds said. Did you just wire up an extra plug on the existing AFM loom for the Z32, I have yet to do mine, and yes its all fun mate.

I wana do this too but dont want flames shooting out my exhaust and a massive fine too lol. How did you bash it, screwdriver and hammer? haha

lead pipe works better

flames are awesome.

You can get big flames with a cat if you mess with the tune, that or run an atmo bov with a MAF and get the exhaust stinking hot.

Haha read my Sig regarding flames.

I will be spray all my piping black to draw less attention and to get a whole black theme look with my car.

With the cat I just used my boot holder (a long bit of wood haha) + hammer.

To be honest as soon as well put an upgraded turbo and injectors etc. Its not going to pass emissions test anyway.

Ohh and with the Z32 I just wired up a female plug to my car.

Then a male plug to both of the AFM's so its an easy change over

Rubbish, that's all in the tune not the hardware. My mechanic builds 500hp+ RB motors regularly and always gets them engineered, they pass the emissions tests no problems.

Sorry I should have just said I do not expect to pass one with my new turbo etc.

So I thought why not get the best flow out of my exhaust I could.

Plus flames are fulleh sik

Just a warning on the bashed out cats - they are harder to pick up on than a straight pipe, but the fine for having no cat is substantially more than a standard EPA violation notice for not passing emissions or having illegal mods. From memory it was $2000+

My cat is empty and I've never seen any flames....I am disappoint

Mine is also pretty tame normally, but on the track it was rolling out MASSIVE dragon shit at some stages. It had to do with how rich it was running, after a few consistent laps and a bad rad cap my water temp went a little high and the ecu was compensating with fuel.

Shame nistune doesnt have decel enrichment :( Awesome flames!

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
