Ah fair enough. I did actually consider it, I was tempted by the price. Unfortunately I'm in the same boat as Trev in that it's not my preferred kit. In any case, I should get my setup working correctly without WMI before I start using it as a bandaid.

What's missing from your setup hanaldo? I saw your powercruise video (sounds great) and can see your mods/output in your sig. Looks pretty good to me, just not running as much boost as some of the other guys are.

When he runs more boost it doesn't make more power unfortunately so he has to find what's causing that

Some further evaluation on a ceramic roller bearing PU high flow running stock compressor housing internally gated. The profile of this turbocharger is identical to a G2.5.

I've bought some actuators casings from Taiwan (probably same as Kando ones) and used 18psi high pressure actuator springs in it and it worked well. Best part is that I can add few washers under the diaphragm to load the springs to where I want it to be.

It made 341rwkws on E85 with the current manifold. It is 10kws short and 100rpms laggier compare to when it was on the Brae manifold even with more boost. How ever pretty good result from a stock looking turbo.

Haha thanks for that Kasko, pretty much on the money. Haven't looked into it a lot yet to be honest, graduate from Uni next week and fly out to Europe in 3, so been a bit preoccupied. Intention is to get into it once I get back from Europe next year.

Realistically those actuators are just big casings, the actual diaphragm and spring setups are identical to any other actuators. The best part of it is it allows you to change springs easily and preloading the spring by adding washers under the diaphragm of where the two bolts comes out. But apart from that its no differences to metal casing actuators.

Its probably good for turbos with small compressor housings, But It does run out of room when I tried to use it with a .70 comp housing.

Also our billet 18G compressor is ready, The profile is identical to our SS1PU compressor wheel but smaller in diameter. This wheel is made to flow about 10% higher then original cast wheel, while producing very dynamic on road drivability.

Our compressor casting has also arrived.

Tomorrow I will machine it up alone with turbine casting to have the turbocharger produced. It is currently available in 8cm rear, with 18G or 20G comp and TD05H and TD06SL2 turbine wheel. Price is still at $800 each. PM if any one's interested.

Also I've re-engineered the sleeve bearings with different oil grove for the ATR43xx turbochargers, tested today, which made them have similar boost building behavior as the ceramic roller bearing CHRAs, will get some dyno readings mid week against my CBB result. Free upgrade to all customers.

This project is mainly for Greddy turbo fans, but I don't like copying them in OEM specifications, so I will mix and match wheels plus some customized profiled billet wheels for them to be different. The goal is for dynamic drivability, Modify housings to fit different types of vehicles, and perhaps adding ceramic roller bearing cartridges.

I've had the T518Z billet version finalized today with every thing machined up nicely.

It is currently on 18G compressor with a TD05H turbine. I will machine one more housing using SL2 turbine tomorrow

    • I'm actually not sure - I think it was "Stealth Performance" (It really is near impossible to find a FEMALE 1/8BSPT to 1/8NPT male at ALL) but having the thing leveraged on a 90 degree angle on a small aluminium fitting is not too smart. Also in not too smart, I've drilled out the center of the broken fitting so there's maybe 0.00001mm of thread to bite into, so yeah. I may have to get it drilled/tapped/plugged entirely. Given I could conceivably tap a thread/adapter/pressure line in any point in the oil system I suppose it's feasible to run a line to the Nissan Sensor to keep the dash working. Do these exist in AN fittings and the like? Like an AN fitting that has a NPT (or other?) thread as well for putting a sensor in?
    • I would agree.  There will be an amount of boost you could run safely with an otherwise factory system, but it would be low enough to not be worth the cost.  And if you are reliving your 20s, you know a 'little bit' was never enough. Personally, if I didn't want to spend the money, then stick with NA bolt-ons, and maybe a tune.
    • Fuark, at least the motor survived. What brand was the fitting that snapped?
    • Wrong question. There's no point in spending the rather large sum of cash and effort to add turbo, without taking it to the "sensible" limit of the motor itself. If you have to upgrade injectors, etc, then so be it. That is a tiny fraction of what it will cost you to turbo it.
    • Measure voltage at the starter solenoid terminal when the key is at start and it has clicked. If it is really low, then the suspicion falls on the ignition switch (contacts or wiring thereof) as causing a voltage drop instead of sending enough volts to throw the solenoid all the way to engage the starter itself. If it is a decent voltage, then the suspicion is on the solenoid. Might have s horted coil, or might hva dirty contacts. Rip the starter off, dismantle, clean up contacts and inspect winding. It might not be possible to see if there is a short in the winding though. I have a spare starter here that I could measure the resistance of the coil, as a guide to about what it should be, if you need a comparison. <parts hoarder>No you cannot have it.</parts hoarder>
