Looking good so far!

Interesting about the boost control/spike. Perhaps they aren't 16psi?

Seen many turbosmart ones say "X" and varied by a good 3-4psi when on the car.

Soo surprised it comes on at almost the same time as -7 size turbos, makes twin turbos look like junk

Loaded up on a dyno -5s and -7s basically "come on" at the same RPM on a dyno interestingly enough, yet they are a good 60-70rwkw different up top.

Drive them on the street however and its a different story that you don't get on paper - been there and done it with -9 to -5 :)

It depends on the pressure and also the piston location in the manifold. Apparently Turbosmart guarantee it will hold the stated boost due to countless hours of bullshit bullshit testing. Perhaps on their test jig, not in the 'real world'.

I am interested to see what my new 26psi springs turn out to hold. Hopefully I have time for a squirt tomorrow.

Gonna have a play with it in the morning :)

Yes gate pressure, i agree 100% about the springs. But i cbf'd changing them. Just made it a bit ah touchy tuning it as i cant work up from low boost.

Ash- no extra loading on my dyno it has a set 2second preload and i start all runs at the same speed. I agree with transient boost response on the road tho. Deano and i can test the rolling starts :) -5's vs 6262

yea paul, its all standard, its even the factory fuel lines, and rail just with id2k injectors and the plugs rewired. Oh his got cam gears on it.. but thats not out of the norm.....

    • Well, this is probably where a wiring diagram and a multimeter come into play.
    • I can say to anyone thats doing this; having done a number of R clusters; just be careful if its an unknown cluster.  It takes a bit of force to pull up; but if it feels excessive then its probably stuck. I've had this and pulled the entire hair spring out; and I can tell you; its not easy getting the correct spring replacement with the correct inner diameter and winding. In my case someone had used some sort of adhesive to stick it to the spindle and it pulled the whole spindle out; which the force seperated the hairspring from the spindal and caused it to deform.  You may have to clean it (IPA); or in my case if i'd known i should have used some sort of solvent on it.  Also check out Cruizin Central on eBay. He does all sorts of dials; and you can email him with any custom designs you want. So if you want like certain logos etc...he'll send you a mock of what it will look like then you accept the order and he'll take care of the rest. Fantastic dials and he can do basically any design you want. 
    • Have you confirmed its the actual axles? Also the wheel bearings that mount on the hubs to hold the axles wear out. I replaced mine as they got play in them. It sorted my play issue. 
    • Ive converted a few clusters for the R33 with 320km/h dials. On the back there are some pads which can be bridged or unbridged (using solder or wick braid) to calibrate it. There is one bridge which is for MPH <> KPH; and there are combinations of bridges to offset it. There is probably a diagram  For example; this is my conversion for a 180km/h dial to a 320km/h dial (I put custom GT-R dials on it with the GTS25t layout) If you have J2 soldered (assuming the S clusters have a similar config to the R clusters); you may need to remove that solder
    • Back on topic 😉, these are some of the notable pages from the booklets that are supplied with each weekly parts update. I never knew the BNR32 test mule car had an S13 Silvia front end... *Edit: On closer inspection the test car still had the R32 body, but only the front end had Silvia panels etc.
