M35 Turbo And Dump Pipe

Hi all,

I have just driven my M35 across the country from Sydney to Perth, man i love this thing!!!! Super comfortable and great at a constant 140 across the Nullabor.

The questions i have are 1. Has anyone had a ceramic turbo fail, and if so did you rebuild it with steel wheels or just do a complete turbo upgrade, size, flow, etc etc

2. Has anyone on the west coast had a dump pipe made or imported one to suite the M35?

I am fortunate to have some really good contacts in WA as i worked for Per4manz Turbo's for some time and i am pretty handy with the TIG.........BUT if i can buy a dump already made that would be great, same thing with the turbo, a high-flowed T28BB would be my first choice but i am yet to get underneath and have a good :D look to see if it will fit. Failing that i would look at high flowing the the factory M35 turbo and build it with all steel internals...

Any advise or prior experience would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers

Greetings,

If you do a search of the forum you will find that the turbo's do fail after a while, there are a few forum's on here that discuss high flowing the stock turbo.

It is only a small turbo and it is wedged in a hot and difficult position on the bottom of the motor, don't know how you would go getting another turbo into the position of the stock one.

Not sure about dump pipes, you can try and search the forum but I'm not sure if you will bring anything up on that one.

Bits and pieces about the turbo below. You might find that is to hard to put another turbo in....as is the upgrade below is like putting a ship together in a bottle.

dump pipe: Liverpool exhaust or Charlstone Exhaust.

My cat fell through :D so I doubt I will do a dump pipe....you will see what I mean when you eventually get under there and have a look.

i think you find that they MAY fail after time :D

my car is over 100k, and its still going fine - as confirmed by Nick and Stephen

+1.

Whilst mine failed nearly a year ago, my mate's stock turbo is going strong and is nearing 100,000kms.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.

      Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.

      Neg, the top one is actually for the front. The sizes are 18x10.5 +18 and 18x11 +32.   I measured many times but I'm sure I'll have problems as this is the thread for problems.
