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.

      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.

      Skyline v36 350GT sedan hunting on idle

      By Robot · Posted

      Hi,  Just joined the forum so I could share my "fix" of this problem. Might be of use to someone. Had the same hunting at idle issue on my V36 with VQ35HR engine after swapping the engine because the original one got overheated.  While changing the engine I made the mistake of cleaning the throttle bodies and tried all the tricks i could find to do a throttle relearn with no luck. Gave in and took it to a shop and they couldn't sort it. Then took it to my local Nissan dealership and they couldn't get it to idle properly. They said I'd need to replace the throttle bodies and the ecu probably costing more than the car is worth. So I had the idea of replacing the carbon I cleaned out with a thin layer of super glue and it's back to normal idle now. Bit rough but saved the car from the wreckers 🤣

      After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.
