Nice! How hard were you pushing the last one?

My ss2 only got tuned to 18psi due to faults/leaks etc that I've mostly fixed. pulled some timing and got it up to 25 last week, almost ready for retune

Pushed the shit out of it, tried screwing 26psi through it but didn't make a single kW more. Turbo rear was glowing as bright as the sun haha. It did make more mid range torque but pointless as it bled down to 22psi up top.

Ended up only making 327kW pulled out some timing and it mad 325kW (mainline). Results did vary from another dyno I which read 340kW (dyno dynamic).

I think Tao uses a different rear housing now, because he warned me my turbo won't line up to my dump pipe now.

E85, but at the time I was tuning it was showing E72 (I run flex, car many runs 98RON).. I doubt a 10% different in ethanol would make that much of a difference in power.

they say it's on par, you would net the same results with E85 vs WMI 50/50 mix...

that was according to Yauvz's engineering mate (which is also on this forum)..

Yes it is more responsive. and can be built in to an OP6 rear housing.

Is it possible to get similar response out of an OP6 housing? Or is the 21U more suited?

10psi by 3250RPM and full boost by 3500RPM looks pretty nice (from the 21U). The biggest issue with all the OP6 high flow charts I've seen is boost comes on at 4000RPM which is far too late in a street car...

Specifically my question is can the OP6 housing produce "enough" power while retaining factory-like response. The standard OP6 boost response on my GTT is fine. A high flow coming in at 4000RPM would not be.

By "enough" power I mean a nice fat curve across the rev band. I care more about the total area under the curve than the peak value.

I'm sure a BW EFR turbo could be at full boost by 3500 their only a bit more than a hiflow.

unfortunately cost as much as our GTS-t rust buckets.

They have some with compressor covers that have a 90 deg bend cast into them too.

So $3K for the best turbo on the planet and $800 for a hiflow.

    • 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>
    • lights are on just the one click.  
    • Absolutely matters because, while a temperature change will eventually reach a sensor at the end of a static line, the response time is far far far too slow to be useful. Might as well not have a temp gauge at all.
    • When I was eyeing off the 370GT (after deciding I didn't want to spend 30-40k+ to relive my early 20s in an R33) I thought it'd be a good project to add a turbo to it. Now that I have a 370GT, and I've had a couple of chances to open it up, I'm pretty stunned by how much power it makes 🫠 Honestly, the way the VVEL opens it up, it almost feels like there's a little turbo tucked away in there somewhere. It's like Nissan looked at VTEC and said "hold my beer" 😁 Has anyone thrown a turbo into their 370Z or 370GT? Is there a conservative boost level you can run without having to upgrade the fuel system, or are bigger injectors and a bigger pump a given?
