Ok 5558 on built sr20 is now run in. Boost was uncontrollable due to a mixture of incorrect wastegate spring and a loose block off bung in the side of wastegate.

Went for a quick roadtest to check boost pressure with 8psi spring and its running 14psi. With a 4th gear foot flat 2500rpm pull was cracking gate at 3500-3700 (14psi)

Will tune as soon as i get some time

Ordering from the US is always better for service IMHO.

I used Real Street Performance on a few occasions and delivery was about a week on all orders. There was one odd time when they couldn't ship an item because it was missing a piece from the MFG (the value of non drop ship vendors). That was rectified fairly quickly by the vendor, the supplier was a little slow though and I ended up taking a payout instead. Item arrived at my door, missing the said gasket, within days of telling them to send as is.

They also sell PT's and pricing is as competitive as it gets.

6466 is now on the manifold, and i am now looking forward to cutting myself to bits doing the pipework lol! Also, just an FYI for you simon, you may have trouble with the outlet on the turbo if mounted on the greddy manifold as mine sits rearward moreso than the greddy items, so pipework may have to face directly downwards and do a 140 degree turn.

Pics would be handy :)

Sort your line out?

just waiting on a 12mm metric to -3 adaptor and i will have the oil lines sorted. The pressure pipework is going to be the next interesting part. The thing looks small compared to the 78-33d. It only just fits between the cam covers and the strut tower lol

Hey you guys with precision v-bands, re- the 3" outlet to dump pipe, -the v-band flange welded to the turbo doesnt have a seat for the female flange and the Performance Exhaust at Northmead guy told me I need to get a female flange milled to suit with the clamp and my turbine flange because most of the time the clamps are too wide and the dump has play in the joint . He said it will fit first time but not after if I just get an off the shelf vband flange kit. Is that correct and what you guys doing about that? Where and what size T3 spacers you using, theres some 11mm ones on ebay, mine is a 5558 to go on stock rb25 mani- low mount.

Last question- oil feed and return, any suggestions on fitting sizes and line lengths? Or just let the tuner (unigroup/jem etc) sort that out..

And how much u guys paying for fabrication work, and any recommendations? Pm me if you dont wana post on here, thanks :)

I can preeeety safely say, if its unigroup, let them sort the oil line for you. The 6466 i have was supplied with a machined V-Band flange, looks the goods and mates up 100% primo. I suggest talking to the unigroup guys and leaving it in thier capable hands mate :)

Thanks man, ur lucky you got a flange n clamp supplied as the precision ones are different in size to regular vband flanges and dont seal properly according to the exhaust guy and on the web, can anyone else with this 5558 or other 0.63 vband turbo please tell me where they got their dump flange n clamp from?? And any pics of how the gates welded to the turbine? Thinking if i should point the gate sideways towards the firewall or up upwards like a hat. Turbo will be Low mount on stock rb25 mani

Don't be stupid Paul, there are no compressor maps so they are rubbish.

Lol, not what I said... they are your words. But continue to misquote me to the benefit of being an internet hero.

    • Input shaft bearing. They all do it. There is always rollover noise in Nissan boxes - particularly the big box. Don't worry about it unless it gets really growly.
    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
