My turbo turned up while I was away at work, didn't even know it was on the way :P

Thanks Stao for all the help you've given me through this process, turbo looks good and can't wait to see how it goes. Now just have to finish my engine

I only have the standard highflow which is good for 430hp.

270x1.34= 361rwhp

361*1.2=434 engine hp allowing 20% drive train loss (which is a widely accepted rough estimate)

Yours sounds about right,

Is that v-band???

V-band rear? yes

3.5" V-band

I will take some more photos in a minute, that was just a quick camera phone photo last night when I got home from work

Very nice looking turbo, Not sure if I want to paint the housing or not lol

No im just wondering,

anyways i got it retuned this morning again and because of timing and it was sort of pinging my tuner had to back the power off, now its on 255kw on 18 psi, i'll post the final tune tonite when i got a chance, im happy with the turbo either way.

Very nice. I need one of these V-Band rears :woot:

That was my ceramic roller bearing highflow with a .60 comp housing :yes: and new externlly gated through turbine housing.

its pretty interesting seeing the 6boost's manifold has very long runners. any one can share some theory in doing that?

Equal length runners and merge collected so exhaust gas gets to the Turbo in equal/even bursts isn't it?

Pretty keen for this engine, really hope I can get the ext gate to work but think life won't be so bad if I have to go int gate I don't think

Need to trim the Turbo studs as one of them is fouling but other then that I'm very happy with how its looking :)

V-band rear? yes

3.5" V-band

Prob just me or the photo but v band doesn't look 3.5".

Plus I thought Stao told me once he could only do 3" max.

Hi Stao,

Long time no speak! As you already know, I'm currently running a top-mount Garrett GTX3076R but looking to return the car to stock-ish to sell and was wondering what the boost response is for the hi-flowed R33 standard turbo and the hi-flowed R34 turbo like compared to the stock R33 turbo.

    • 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.
