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.

    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful
