the install went alright you need to trim the manifold heat shield, extend you cooler pipe make up and intake pipe and oil line is given and water lines blocked up and the dump pipe in regards to it buckling i put the extension inside the o ring and spot welded around it so was no buckling because its matches up perfect with the Oring on the turbo and dump it just doenst seal ive put sum exhuast sealant and a gasket and its worked fine. but the turbo itself is great a few minor things to modify but worth it rather than paying 4000 for a direct bolt

sounds good!

can you please put up some pics when you get time?!?

Here are the pics for you if you have any other specific photos of the install you want just ask

how the turbo fit in note the actuator realy close to the body so bracket had to be changed so it would come to the middle abit more also exxhust manifold heat shield trimmed

21052009003t.th.jpg

size of the turbo

30052009.th.jpg

custom cooler pipe 2inch to 2.5inch going from turbo to stock cooler pipe

30052009001.th.jpg

how the cooler pipe extension sat

31052009z.th.jpg

roughly how it would look like when put together prety well hidden

31052009004.th.jpg

intake pipe made up used a 90degree silicon elbow from the turbo then this 45 degree offcut clamped onto the elbow

31052009002.th.jpg

can you spot the boost controoler LOL

how it looks in the end now

errrrr its not 100% on the clamp. You can get stronger clamps but Its just made to hold, It can't seal up gaps.

Its when you weld the dump pipe into the O ring. They don't expand in the same sort of rate. So on the end the flat surface of the O ring becomes buckled under pressure as it cools down.

Normally to weld the O ring you need to divide it into small sections wait it cools down before moving on to next, Or machine the O ring flange flat before fitting it in the car.

i checked them both and they were 100% flat and true, we swap out the supplied clamps and the problem goes away.....

looks good man. do you have a pic with everything put back on (heat shield etc.)

does it look sorta stock?

I havnt put the turbo heat shielf bak on cause its kinda hard to fit it in theres not much room espiacly with the acutaor and all you would prob have to modify the origanal one cutting it down alot and bolting it to the exhust manifold heat shield but yeah apart from that looks stock espcially with stock airbox

nice pics, thanks for that!

do u have any of the dump pipe installed?!?

you should be able to get a v-clamp to suit from most turbo stores

just want to confirm the spec of turbo you used was it a TR43i with internal gate with 31mm hole? maybe hypergear can confirm?

Ill try get you a pic of the dump pipe installed but you basically get a 2.75inch Oring which you end up welding to your existing dumpipe then clamp it on. yeah its tr43I 500hp turbo IW and i think its 29mm

will be very interested to see well it holds/controls boost

plus how responsive and what power it makes, when u getting it tuned?

Well im losing my lincese in a few weeks so im gona save up do the injectors pump and afm then get remap ecu at dr drift and tuned. so ye a while

I managed to get my heat shield back on by bending it a little. I tried to take some pics but my camera is not playing nice at the moment.

Mine is going back to Status next week, getting the clutch and a new map done for my mammoth injectors so I will hopefully be pushing the high 200's then. I'll keep you all posted.

    • Maf is a question mark but TPS  I have set at 0.47, the fact that I’m getting proper voltage range out of it with the key on leads me to believe it’s functioning properly. I’m getting proper voltages on basically everything. I still need to look up voltage ranges for z32 maf and test that 
    • Honestly no not at all, but it’s a very basic tune, it’s stock injectors q45 tps and z32 maf. Other than that it’s a completely stock base map. The file is from nistune and from my understanding if it was tune related I would be able to unplug maf and tps and it would still start even if it was a really shitty start. I have tried starting it with coolant temp, maf, and tps unplugged none of those 3 togethor or individually changes anything

    • What does it look like with highway driving? And yes, I had a similar thought as Duncan. It looks quite similar in my Stagea and I have made myself accept it as normal. Might have to look into it some day   Highway gets as low as 10l/100km on my end so I'm not as worried about it being a mechanical issue. More likely just the tune on the haltech.
    • While I was waiting for the new parts to come in for the charge pipe and radiator I decided to do some turbo modification. The drive pressure (exhaust backpressure) was a lot higher that I thought it should be. For 32lbs of boost drive was 55lbs. The turbine housing is a 1.10AR and my turbo builder has suggested to go to a 1.25AR. To test if a larger AR would do anything to reduce drive pressure AND not spend any money I decided to hog out the divider in my current housing. I removed it from the inlet and the whole way through the housing.  After reassembly and testing it doesn't look like this modification did anything for reducing drive pressure or requiring more fuel (making more power). Oh well, it was worth a shot. We'll get some data at the track if it makes it past the 60ft. I also machined a $7 shift knob off Amazon to fit my Stillway shifter since I didn't like the Stillway shift knob. Next on the list was the radiator replacement and fabrication of a new intercooler tube that had no silicon coupler. No pictures of this - I was short on time each night after work to get this done and didn't stop to take pictures.  Next was to get the clutch disks out and replaced. Previously when installing the dogbox I had ordered a set of the same sintered iron disks I had been running because I switched to the 26-spline input shaft. I thought it was odd that they didn't have any markings or brand name on them like all my old disks had but installed them anyway. At the track I could not get the clutch to lock up using my normal strategies. After two track nights I reached out to the clutch manufacturer and ask their thoughts. They said they had to switch the material out because they were having trouble getting the original material and that this new material would not take to being slipped very well.  So out with the first set of 26-spline disks and in with the correct material 26-spline disks. While I had the trans out I added an inspection/service hole. I've wanted one of these for a while. Now I can have a look at things and change the front cover shimming when needed (clutch wear). I hustled and got the clutch change done in a few hours on a Saturday. Hopped in the car and drove home. On the way home I did a 1-3 pull. When shifting from 2nd to 3rd the core plug in the back of the cylinder head popped out and dumped all the coolant. Thankfully I was only 30 seconds from home and coasted it there. Datalog showed nothing unusual and 2.5psi of coolant pressure. That plug has been in there since 1992 but I guess it worked its way out. Pulled the trans AGAIN and replaced the plug, JB welded it in, and made a brace. Also deleted the head drain I had added in during the bearing issue fiasco.  I am currently changing my boost control plumbing to make it cleaner. After that is done I'll make another attempt at getting past the 60.
