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.

    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/  
    • Yeah dunno why johhny posted that here with no context, just post on FB/insta bro where he put it up?  Laine had an off at T4 during Thurs prac, he's ok, car is less than perfect, they are done for the weekend, he can fill in the rest. Bando also binned it like 100m up the road.   
    • I feel there must have been a FB/insta post and the weekend did not start well at all I hope everyone is all okay
