scotty mines the same, went 2 the drags last weekend, cold Friday night, lining up guy behind me had headlights on and all it was, was steam haha... all I know is I pulled manifold n turbo off yesterday and inside manifold turbine housing and dumpipe is crystal clean, but also is all brown n rusty.

Stao i thought it would be best to ask you as you have your finger in the pie so to speak.

I see all these copy billet GTX 3540 and GTX4202 comp wheels floating around on ebay/kando and other

sites lately...Are they a straight copy of the real deal and any good?

eg, not just a straight copy of standard style 3540 etc, but done in billet, so no real difference except for maybe weight

cheers

Yeh I remember reading the article in HPI magazine about the condensation of E85 and how much more critical it is to do regular oil changes, the theory being that the same condensation that builds up in the exhaust also builds up in the combustion chamber and then finds its way back down into the sump, contaminating the oil quite quickly.

Can't wait to join the club :D

Hurry up already!

It does end up in the oil, but generally the oil is hot enough to evaporate it out. My catch can fills quickly with ethanol/water vapour over winter.

The oil would barely be affected unless you do short cold start runs continuously.

I don't really know much about other wheels. The SS wheels has been developed through time from data collected from many dyno runs. Like a mm difference in the trim of hub, tip height, wheel crop or degree in the blade angle, they all contributes to a small change in the dyno reading (that's also why a hub dyno is an accurate tool, it can map the tinniest changes made from a small alteration) , and from there I could work out the best combination of a good performance wheel for a Rb25det.

Once a base wheel is worked out its just a matter of extending/retracting wheel length using trail data to work out the size required for a particular power level.

Definitely lots of progresses lately. Can't wait to get my PU .82 high flow upgraded to VNT.

And post lots of feedback :D

HG billet T67+VNT would be ballistic! The HG 25G billet wheel seemed to make the T67 hit target with less boost and less revs. I can only imagine what the VNT would add to the mix.

The two T67s had very similar response while our billet version made 40kws more then the Kando item. We can certainly do the upgrade if you have a Kando T67 item.

Either way, I think the SL2 + 25G type of turbochargers might be good for certain tracks or drags that response don't bother too much. The standard SS2 which made 20kws more then the Kando T67 and 15kws lesser then our SL25.5, is a much of a better and smoother turbo to use on road.

While the VNT version of that is even more responsive then a 21U high flow while maxing out at 385rwkws. It is probably the best road turbo there is.

Stao what would you expect a set of bush bearing GT2560 highflows in Z32 housings to make? I got a set here with the forged bottom end that i bought and was wondering if they are capable of over 300rwkw on 98.

For the 300zx turbocharger high flows, I've seen 320rwkws on pump 98 so far. that is from Benny's blue Z on the 300ZX forums. those are capable of doing around the 360rwkws mark with supporting mods.

I've had few CHRA options to high flow the 300zx turbos, how ever the smaller ones didn't shown an great difference in terms of response, while the largest combination I've used (ATR28G1) made the most power. So I stick only to this profile now.

Bennys high flows where using the ATR28G1 CHRAs, Which are 2860rs equivalent. We can run FNT nozzle in those housings and bring up the down low response, while Billet SS1 and 1.5 are also now options to consider, since none of them where invented during my time with the 300zx.

Best is highflowing them with a pair of stock manual turbos that has .63 T2x rear housings.

Also VNT option is now available. I've only released it with SS chras, and for standard Engine under comparison it worked best with the SS2 CHRA. Price starting from $2000 with optional roller bearing centers for now.

I Will be into VNT Type B developments for the next few weeks. It will be an expansive and time consuming project to build, how ever for some thing makes 20psi by 3500RPM and 400rwkws+ is welly worth the efforts.

Engine wise the Evo 7 (GSR) was a carry over from the Evo 6 but they changed (I think) to hollow camshafts and added EGR .

Turbo wise the larger heavier Cedia based E7 went back from the Evo 6s 10.5 cm turbine housing to a similar 9.8cm sized one with the cold side unchanged . The std torque peak moved up noticably 500 odd revs from Evo 6 to 7 and I think they went looking for earlier turbo response to try and get some mid range squirt back . Also they would have been struggling with emissions in that 2001 era hence EGR etc .

The 8MR and 9s also use the 10.5cm turbine housing but its not the same as the E6 10.5 , instead of two holes and two wastegate flat valves the later one has double "D" shaped outlets mirror imaged to form a circle and uses one large waste gate disc/flat valve . Many people consider them to be better than the E6 one and you'd think Mitsy changed them to get better results . The thing is Mitsy kept increasing std boost levels right through the Evo Lancer models up to I think 21 psi with the 10s . People say the early 10.5s can crack over time and replacing them fixes some boost issues caused by the leaking gates .

Mark at GT Pumps used to sell an aftermarket 10.8cm direct replacement turbine housing which people like . I've been in a 7 with one of these on a std turbo with the IC pipe changed plus the exhaust after cast dump and E70 , its a bit of a weapon for a roadie and drives nicely as you'd expect with std valves cams etc .

A .

Haven't read all the pages but would one of your Hi flows be very close to the dimensions of a HTA3076 or that comp wheel be replicable in billet? be interesting to see a HTA3076 in VNT

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
