Hey guys,

I need your help once again. Blew my turbo. Drove it hard on 13psi and blew it. Im pretty sure its the turbo as the boost doesnt spool up+noise.

I need to fix the car asap so i need quick help, don't have time for much research that's the reason for starting a new thread, sorry.

What im after:

-turbo that's an upgrade, better than my stockie but doesn't need to be 1000hp either, something medium power.

Can also someone suggest me where i should look for a turbo/what shops/wreckers are good to call and check out?

Also, good workshop for the fitting of a new turbo, suggestions please

Im basically wanting to make about 240RWKW.

-so please if you have a suggestion, ill be keeping a close eye on this thread and all help is appreciated.

So i need:

Turbo recommendation:

What shop wreckers to check out:

Workshop to fit:

Thanks heaps, ADIS.

Read that firstly, will save you a lot of money, secondly look in the for sale section for a hi flow, they are a direct replacement and will get you around 250rwkw with good response.

Thank you for your reply. Hi flow is good option, but ill give other turbos a bit of a thought and ill make my decision in next couple of days.

I suggest you get a bigger turbo not a high-flow Turbo.

Yes, I have a high-flow and I'm making 235 kw and it's really responsive - but you will find soon you want more power, e.g. 300+ and you will have to get another turbo soon. You sound a bit power-hungry, so I suggest you go the bigger turbo now...the GT30 is a good size in my opinion.

Bro you are probably right, i will get power hungry but you gotta draw a line somewhere. For bigger turbo ill need to spend extra 1k. plus labor for fitting turbo, plus full ecu,plus tune, plus injectors, plus all other shit, to be honest i cant afford so i have to be happy with 230 kw or so. But you are right, ill get used to it and ill want more...but i better not. f*k its like a drug lol

the stock afm is able to max much lower than 230rwkw

ive seen max and i have 190rwkw

you can still tune with it maxing, and its important to note when it maxes

maxing at 6500rpm means nothing, maxing at 3000rpm to redline

just means it runs like a map sensor and its annoying to tune

still workable, just have to juggle load points

its typically accepted that you replace it past 200rwkw

to ensure you use as many load points as possible, which makes for a better tune

bahhh 190kw? cmon man, are you kidding? firstly let's exclude afms that have been found in the local river, and we'll also exclude spaz engines/ecu's that r&r at 10psi (other issues at play here)

then we can assume, under normal circumstances, 230kw wouldnt be a stretch.

And then we exclude "happy" dyno's and we are back to 200-210

lol well that was a nice round trip :)

but i'm sticking to my 230, happy dynos or not.

edit:

anyway, lets tell the guy what he wanted to know. which turbo.

hks2535 or gt-rs. buy a used one, if on a budget. either of these is my pick over the highflow.

LOL, well i did get 223rwkw with the standard ecu, i then put in the pfc and had it tuned and got 210, i know the 220 was a happy dyno and the 210 was on a dyna pack which are known to be a little conservative.

ahhh so a little conservative, and a little bit happy, evens out at 220 in your case. we're getting closer lol

      Yeah and hence my ghetto way of slamming the brakes, get the ABS to cycle, rebleed seems to be a sensible workaround.

      Hey! Happy to help. Nothing inherently wrong with the adapter, it's more so with Brett Collins himself. He gave me a lot of incorrect information when I was in contact with him and was extremely rude when I challenged him. He stated I could not use any aftermarket twin plate clutches except for his own, not to use the dush shield, bla bla bla and it was all BS.  Collins stated to cut roughly 14mm's off the housing, I took off 15mm to make room for the dust shield. I would confirm with whatever adapter manufacturer you're using.

      There's plenty of OEM steering arms that are bolted on. Not in the same fashion/orientation as that one, to be sure, but still. Examples of what I'm thinking of would use holes like the ones that have the downward facing studs on the GTR uprights (down the bottom end, under the driveshaft opening, near the lower balljoint) and bolt a steering arm on using only 2 bolts that would be somewhat similarly in shear as these you're complainig about. I reckon old Holdens did that, and I've never seen a broken one of those.

      Let's be honest, most of the people designing parts like the above, aren't engineers. Sometimes they come from disciplines that gives them more qualitative feel for design than quantitive, however, plenty of them have just picked up a license to Fusion and started making things. And that's the honest part about the majority of these guys making parts like that, they don't have huge R&D teams and heaps of time or experience working out the numbers on it. Shit, most smaller teams that do have real engineers still roll with "yeah, it should be okay, and does the job, let's make them and just see"...   The smaller guys like KiwiCNC, aren't the likes of Bosch etc with proper engineering procedures, and oversights, and sign off. As such, it's why they can produce a product to market a lot quicker, but it always comes back to, question it all.   I'm still not a fan of that bolt on piece. Why not just machine it all in one go? With the right design it's possible. The only reason I can see is if they want different heights/length for the tie rod to bolt to. And if they have the cncs themselves,they can easily offer that exact feature, and just machine it all in one go.
