I pulled the intake off today and tried to imagine how I am going to fab a new suction pipe for the turbo. Its very tight in there and the bolts will be a bugger to get to but its definitely possible to enlarge it. I think this is the major bottleneck of the intake causing the lower than expected output. While there I will enlarge the AFM to reduce the voltage getting to the ECU. Hopefully this will allow full airflow measurement without clamping the voltage.

At least part of the pipe has to be silicone for engine movement so I guess theres not much to make really. I just wish I had a spare engine to work with, I dont like stripping mine all the time. Anybody have a VQ25det laying around? ;)

There is a the damaged M35 at Pickles for sale. You can buy that then part it out. Apparently only expecting 4-5k. LOL

Finally finished. What a bugger of a job to make.

I had to fit and refit about 30 times, and its not fun to get in there.

I have to tune now, I may end up buying a wideband and gauge as dyno tunes are just too expensive.

The price will be right, I just have to sort out a small airflow sensor issue.

The car is idling very low, like 550 to 600, which is nice but occasionally it stalls pulling up to an intersection. Im guessing it could be tuned out but some of you cant so I would like it to work on a standard car and have the air fuel ratio checked before I can be sure theyre ok.

The turbo flange has a nice funnel from 58mm out to 70mm id for the rest (3inch pipe.) I will also have to insulate them with exhaust wrap as mine is only 10mm from the ex manifold. Its a tight fit, no going bigger thats for sure.

The ECU seems to be sorting itself out. No stalling today. Hopefully just rotating the airflow sensor a bit did the trick.

Definitely heaps more go but it still needs a tune.

Yeah. I could actually feel the power this time instead of just watching the speedo go crazy :P

Is the turbo inlet flange something you can buy off the shelf or do you make it yourself? I know the exhaust flange is a T3. The opening size of the inlet is about 58mm for your turbo? Would be a bit smaller on a standard turbo? Not much room to allow for the bolts to fit through the holes once a seam is welded around the pipe to the flange.

Is it hard to unbolt the standard suction pipe from the turbo? Can't even see the bottom one :) .

Cheers for all your info :)

Not much room for anything down there... especially 3 inch pipe. Every part is custom, the turbo flange and funnel are from one piece of alloy, 100mm round by 50mm then machined on the lathe. it has to be 50mm to clear the stud (but the nut still has to be installed first or you cant get it on.) and the nut is done from underneath. PITA.

Standard turbo inlet would be 48mm or so I think

      FS - RB30 Turbo upgrade bolton turbo kit - 600kw

      By Predator1 · Posted

      Details: Turbo Borg Warner EFR 9180 with 1.05 rear housing Upgraded TurboSmart integrated BOV Sanded and powdercoated compressor cover in gloss black Elbow welded with wiggins clamp Speed Sensor(Not included) (Can include oil drain(heat wrapped + titanium intake pipe with almost new filter for a tad extra). Manifold: 6 Boost RB26/30 twin scroll manifold  e-MAP ports drilled into both scrolls(I was using the TAARKS EMAP KIT) Turbo is in excellent condition. Always used Penrite 15w50 Racing oil(Changed less then 2000ks). Also using the Turbosmart OP regulator and filter. Downpipe: 4inch Stainless steel with VBand inlet and outlet clamps(included) Heat wrapped Dual ports for Dyno/Wideband usage Will throw in free 2.5 inch intercooler pipe(2.5inch From turbo outlet to 3.5 inch intercooler) - Powder coated black. Turbo made 563rwkw on mainline hub dyno at around 24-25psi boost - Pump fuel. Will def make over 600kw on e85. Didn't bother as my e-MAP was through the roof with my setup sitting past the choke line. I have a cnc ported and fully built head on my 3.2. Turbine speed saw max of around 109k rpm. I'm running this on my R32 GTR, with AC, and the original power steering pump. The manifold clears the AC lines, ABS, and everything else. Although I had new AC lines because I just wanted new ones and I heat wrapped them as well. This will make more power on a slightly lower capacity motor with a higher PR. And I have since upgraded to a G45-1500. Have pics and videos if need be.  Absolutely nothing wrong with setup. Turbo is in perfect condition. No shaft play or oil leaks at all. All the work was professionally done. The transient response of this is fkn amazing. I cannot rave more about this turbo. If I wasn't chasing 4 figures, I would have kept it. $5000 NZ. Located: Auckland, New Zealand.

      I particularly like the look of the John Player Special team. (Thumbnail isn't different but hit play for the clip)
