Had mine done at Boostworx ! took a while but great job

i would things take a bit longer to be done and be done properly instead of rushing someone to finish it to only take longer in the long run

Well I left my number at Boostworx waiting for them to call them back, but I think they forgot... Might give it another try next week. (I won't have my turbos soon anyways, probably 2 weeks away)

When I'm getting the turbos put in, is there any other fittings/bits & peices that I would need? perhaps the turbo gaskets? ($275 from Just Jap)

Also I dropped by AM Performance today and had a good chat to Andrew, hopefully getting him to put on a full exhaust system for me (dump, front pipe, cat, catback)

Saw Heslos car under covers getting some work done. Looks mint, would sound mean with the new exhaust for sure!

Cheers mate, not getting any exhaust work done, Andrew took care of that long ago. I took it there to use his hoist to rip the head off for a port/polish. Should get it back mid next week, looking forward to it. You can't go wrong with Andrews work mate, simply awesome stuff!

you would need a bucket load of coolant as well mate.....and gaskets for sure.....also copper washers would be good investment and braided lines if its not coming with the turbo

+1 to getting the AM treatment....he does awesome work for the price you pay.....and has awesome customer service as well

fingers crossed it doesn't but ill let you guys know on how it all goes tomorrow night (hopefully).

did anybody know that there were two types of nistune? and one cant be edited or something like that.

according to jaustech they cant remap jeff's nistune.

can anyone explain this for me. i would have thought he'd tell me that his was a different tune

I can't see how you're gonna get a turbo install for $350. Esp in a GTR. Are you changing any gaskets? Any copper washers? Any studs? If not, poor choice, you'll probably have to take it all off again when you realise you have an exhaust leak or snapped stud

not a gtr unfortunately, i just hacked the other guys thread haha.

the guy said inc all that stuff, guess ill find out tomoz, ill replace nething that needs replacing, the old turbo was working fine and holding boost nicely though

    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
    • The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.
