So my mate has a ba xr6t hes upgrading to a gt70 to go make 700rwkw, so he has the turbo from his car spare. would i be able to use it on my skyline?

I know i wouldent use it to its limits or even close but would it be worth my time getting it and putting it on.

considering im used to my car making 193rwkw with 10psi and turbo back exhuast.

and yes i know its a huge ass turbo but im still asking

What model Xr6 is it. From my limited knowledge of these cars, the FG xr6's (approx 2008 onwards) had a 48trim 3076 compressor on a GT35 rear and the pre FG's (i.e. BF model) had essentially a GT35 front and rear - according to Nizpro. Both are internally gated. The FPV car's always had the larger GT35 turbo regardless of model.

You could easily confirm which turbo you have by measuring the inducer on the compressor. The ex wheel/housings were the same. Don't know what the ex a/r's are I'm sorry.

The FG turbo tops out around 300rwkw to 320rwkw when bolt on upgrades are applied depending on dyno. The pre FG turbo/FPV turbo is capable of 400rwkw tops. These figures are based on Ford 6 dyno's through the ZF 6 speed semi auto.

The FG turbo is probably the pick of the two for your car if it can be had for cheap. Otherwise just buy a 56trim 3076 with the GT30 rear as the GT35 rear might be an unkwnown quantity on your car with smaller displacement.

I recently picked up an FG G6E turbo (smaller turbo) and its fairly punchy on the big 6 as you would expect. Torque hits early in the rpm range (Ford claims 2000 rpm) and is capable of propelling these hefty cars down drag strip in sub 13 seconds for a stocker which isn't bad for an engine that has the characteristics of a diesel :D .

a GT60 turbo is capable of 2000hp, they dont even list a GT70 model.

XR6 turbos are a waste of time on a mild motor - least of all one without the 10k in supporting mods required.

And by the time you have all the supporting stuff in place there are better turbo combinations to get anyway!

If you know its going to be epically laggy, how then does it mean the time/effort is worthwhile?

Some people's logic makes me wonder sometimes :whistling:

haha yea il try n get it for free dont reckon though.

and yes there is a gt70 still very new its mentioned here http://www.turbomaster.info/eng/turbos/gta57-70.php

yea i was just checking to see that it is a complete waste of time. and i knew it would be massivly laggy but i figured anything is better than the stock turbo even if it had lag figured it would still pull harder than the stock turbo

Pull harder from 5000rpm maybe. By which stage you are pulling a gear by around 7000rpm and probably on the cusp of boost so it'd almost be slower :D

Get a nice 3071/3076 like everyone else IMO.

If XR6 turbos were good upgrades - everyone would be doing them :whistling:

totally a waste of time and would never work, were is your proof as you always ask ?

around 6 min they say what turbo and power, thus proof for not being a waste of time !

you also seem to have missed that it was a 3L not a 2.5L.

just because it can be done, doesnt mean it should be.

In bold for truth.

Chris had some excellent results for the budget. The setup wasn't build to be the best of the best - it was built for the purpose.

There is nothing to say it cannot be done better, or that it was the best setup.

It was functional, and did what was required - but how does that help the OP? Not much.

Different motor, different level of mods, different use of the car...

dont mean its a waste of time wither like said, so bang for buck i think its worth it.

270 on a Na bottom end is nothing to complain about .

i didnt realise thatr when you purchased a turbo capable of certain kw you had to get that from it or your wasting your time.

And wow 500cc difference, bit like putting a rb25 turbo on a 20 results are not far off !

people just so quick to flame others on here, i gave a link to proof for sumeone asking about this turbo, yes i know the engine is 500cc difference but still a reference non the less !

not quite a 1000 rpm, my gt35r 0.82 was on 23psi at 4200 on my 25, and like 3550 25/30.

its alot of time and effort putting it on the car only to find out your not happy with the laggggg, as ash mentioned you would have to spend alot on bolt on mods and even then youd need to forge the engine to use the turbo fully. The turbo is only a small part of the total expense required to get the car to that level, if i was going to spend that much i would make sure i was happy with the turbo choice.

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
