Ok guys need some advice and/or help.

Ok, Im looking at either going high flow or bigger, say HKS 2830/35??? I know with the high flowed i dont need to change anything, bolt off, get it done, bolt back on. Are there any other say HKS turbos that will bolt onto the standard exhaust manifold or will I need to get one made up??(Which i can get done for literally nuthing!! wooo hooo)

At moment Im in the market for a cheap stock turbo 2nd hand in good condition just so i can get back on road for the moment, anyone have one laying around?? SYDNEY NEWCASTLE OR CENTRAL COAST PEEPS????

A few of the HKS turbos will bolt up to the stock manifold, although where you will run into problems is with the water/oil lines.

2530 seems to be a great street turbo if your not aiming for big (~240+rwkw) power, or maybe a 2535.

Theres a few good threads in the Force Induction section on the 2530 and 2535's.

Remembering that a highflow stock item will be a direct replacement with no other modification needed to bolt back on.

I've now got my old high flow if you need to borrow it until you get enough $$ together for something bigger and better. I'll PM you Brad.

OK, having gone thru some pain myselft with modding my skyline, my piece of advice is this.

The turbo is the holy grail of the power you get from your engine.

Depending on what you want to use the car for, will determine your power levels and turbo configuration. (ie Street, Track, Drag, Combo)

Once you choose your turbo, you build around it - Pistons, Rods, Bearings, Injectors, Cooler, ECU, Ignition, Cams, etc

(BTW I am talking perfect world situation - which never seems to eventuate hey)

Choose wisely and choose once.

Id be taking advantage of Mark's offer if $cash$ not there for you ideal setup (Very Generous of you Mark BTW - gotta love how club memebers help each other out)

And remember - once you up the ante on the turbo, you gotta look at the support systems and internals too - but I guess you knwo that hey !

Good luck Brad !

Exactly right Brendan. We both have lost money on the standard turbo -> high flow -> larger turbo.

I'm heading down to woolongong to pick up the turbo for you today Brad. You can run your 12 or 15psi no worries on this turbo and it bolts straight up.

If i were going to spend money on a turbo i'd at least get a 2530.

Good luck, get in contact with me if/when you want to grab the turbo off me. I'm on the northern beaches.

Jay: It was in excess of $6500

BMan: Thats what I was talking to John about, we worked out what turbo, then built around it. The 30/40 is what we want for in the end with all the other stuff. Must say though, the Microtech LTX12 seems to be the best way to go for aftermarket computers, I reckon better than the Power FC!!!!! Apparently the combo will run good even with stock internals!!!!! But they will eventually be changed to after i got this all setup!!!!

Mark: You are an absolute legend !!! It is appreciated greatly!

I ended up going to Wollongong for you to pick up the turbo yesturday, its sitting in my car now.

I've got my car in for a service tommorow and will be working back late.

I'll PM you and organise something so we can get you back on the road ASAP.

Do a lot of research before jumping in and buying the wrong turbo - I hope lending you the turbo will give you more time to think it over and get a good price at the right workshop.

Brad,

FYI

There is a Microtech LTX12 computer for sale at the moment on these forums. Might be worth your time making a bid on it if its a bargin.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
