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.

V-band rear? yes

3.5" V-band

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.

    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
