Cam, I think it's possible to put a steel wheeled RX7 turbine in a machined RB25 turbo housing, might cost the same as a rebuild but provide a bit more power and reliability.

Im quite sure this is what I have, boosts up to 16psi easily, one day ill get around to the dyno.

I always use ATS in O'Connor

Cheap n Freindly service.

Rebuilt my VLT T3 with T4 internals as well as Hi Flowing......$1200

It has produced about 280rwHP @ 9psi on 9.0:1 comp RB30......I'm hoping it will be good enough to produce 400rwHp on 7.8:1 Bottom end I now have !....?

Anyways - on inspecting the compressor wheel on my old turbo vs my new one, I found that the new one has dual vanes while the old one has single? Any ideas? I'll post up comparative pics tonight.

Righto - Pic of the old vs new compressor wheels attached.. Any ideas?

Hmm - fitting the turbo is turning into more than just a re-bolt on. Have found some problems as a direct result of bad workmanship by *** performance (in wangara - you work it out) who fitted the dump - missing bolts and flange holes not lining up by a mile. You wouldn't think the fabrication of a flange would be so hard...

Pic attached of the poor workmanship of the dump. Absolutely pathetic and I think people should know so they can be aware of the quality of work to expect out of some places. You could argue that it'll work - which it will - but you'd expect this sort of crappy workmanship out of a backyard mob - not from somewhere who suposedly specialises in "performance" work.

i know with the mitsi turbos the TD04 is single blade and the TD05 has the twn blade thingo like yours cam, not saying its mitsi, but maybe some sort of upgrade, which might explain rev's times??

Might explain my times if this turbo was actually off my car. My turbo has twin blades tho' for the record.

I personally think people underestimate the effectiveness of a lightened flywheel..

*thinks back to the nissan micra super turbo on GT2 and the difference it made when he lightened the fly*

granted, that was a puter sim, but a lightened fly would make a hell of a difference.

    • Thank you, 100% the intent. New coils were due and the 17" sixers look/feel loads better than the stock wheels. The aero options are so spot on.   Thanks for the warm welcome, all!
    • 98 r34 gtt Been rocking my latest setup and car running like never before. Have put a good 200 miles on it since all the latest changes and additions. everything is dialed in and have been driving it a bunch.   However, all a sudden last weekend as soon as I pushed throttle passed 4k and the engine stumbles, (slow or fast acceleration) hesitates and doesn’t go above 4100 or so, like a misfire. Everything else seems fine. I had a “good” set of coil packs that I removed from car when I first got it when I changed them over to new coils. I swapped out current ones for those, but no change. I also changed the plugs, no change. Seems to rev over 4 when out of gear with no load just fine no “misfire”, but as soon as its in gear with a load of any kind, it “misfires” as soon as rpm drop back below 4 k it runs perfectly, smooth, starts, restarts and drives fine as long as I keep it below 4 k while in gear. All readings look fine, no CEL   Any idea as to what could all a sudden cause an issue when pushing rpms passed 4 k?
    • When you say your cams are 272/262 is that 272in and 262ex?
    • We're arguing semantics. I am saying 45 accel and a 55 deccel ramp are "2 ways". Even a 45 degree ramp and an 89 degree ramp is "2 ways", because it is literally... two ways. The cusco 55/30 ramp is a 2 way. It's two ways. I get it though - in normal nomenclature a "2 way" would be 45/45 or 55/55 or 60/60 i.e the same locking in both directions. And something like 45/65 would be considered "1.5 way". I would then say if we're getting into the nitty gritty then every locking diff is a "2 way" diff and we should not speak in 1.5, or 2 ways but ramp angles instead. Which ofc if one of those ramp angles is 90deg, that side is not doing any locking. :p So Nismo don't obviously sell 3 things. The fact of the matter that they only sell two items really goes to show that there's a 2 way and a "1,5 way" which is really a 1 way. I believe the actual lockup for the 'adjustability' of the GT pro is really just setting preload for when the ramps actually start locking up. It's not changing how much 'wayness' there is. It is (somehow) horribly explained. People just buy whatever diff and go "locks up good bruh" and that's what ends up on socials forever.
