My 30DET is now running TDO6H 25G, budget build with Hybrid manifold and 50mm Turbosmart gate. Turbine is the 11 blade option with 12cm housing. Tighe camshafts correctly dialled. Track car, chasin

Hoping for a extra power everywhere above 4000rpm and maybe a tad extra down low :)

Do you have access to a data logger for before runs? If you want I can send over a simple GPS logger so you can map gs and speed so that you can get a feel for in gear acceleration and response. Something a dyno wont pick up

I have read a few people say that Nistune are decent enough but have their limitations. Is there a performance reason behind the change to Vipec from Nistune or just a question of more functionality?

I'm waiting on battery to see how he goes with the billet love... but it may be an option down the road!

Or see the difference a better flowing turbine will make :whistling:

I have trackaroo that tracks speed via gps but I find that the 1hz GPS updating of the phone is a bit of a fail so even if there was a difference you wouldn't be able to tell... Regardless I doubt seat of pants feel will change much, it'll go from shitting yourself to still shitting yourself haha

I'll try and get back down the 1/4 for the black top dyno run but I have faith the hubber should show the differences.

There is nothing at all wrong with the Nistune, it's more getting itchy feet. I would prefer the AFM gone as it's the last link in the blown cooler pipe chain saga. The addition of heaps more funcitons (proper VCT control, boost control and many other functions) is what tipped it over the edge. But mainly just ditching the AFM :)

I would love to give the bigger turbine wheel a go... The reason I gave up on the idea is because I knew that even if the result was better, I would still have to change back to the original turbo and just way too much effort (I'm lazy)

Completely understand. I just need an oil pump and somewhere that will do reasonably priced inlet flanges and I could find out about turbos myself soon enough :)

Re data logger. I have a little QStarz 10hz logger for when I am in hire cars and other peoples cars that if you think it will give acceleration etc you can borrow

Been looking at simonR32's pic's & I know centre mounting flange is different but housing size?

Is mine a 10 cm rear, as no marking's on housing?

I got mine from racerecall.com . It does the job, but I don't think it is as good as a Driftbox etc but then again is cheaper so performs the basic job I ask of it.

Whats the idea behind logging hire cars?

Well when you are hiring them and flogging them around the track when you are on holidays :) LOL, that how I know what a Swift can do around the combined GP Circuit-Nordschleife etc etc :)

My rear housing is v-band to the centre cartridge while yours is bolted.... I think that is the difference! Looks like that is the difference between 8cm and 10cm by browsing ebay. What did you order?

Looks like you're almost ready for a tune?

      Yup. You can get creative and make a sort of "bracket" with cable ties. Put 2 around the sender with a third passing underneath them strapped down against the sender. Then that third one is able to be passed through some hole at right angles to the orientation of the sender. Or some variation on the theme. Yes.... ummm, with caveats? I mean, the sender is BSP and you would likely have AN stuff on the hose, so yes, there would be the adapter you mention. But the block end will either be 1/8 NPT if that thread is still OK in there, or you can drill and tap it out to 1/4 BSP or NPT and use appropriate adapter there. As it stands, your mention of 1/8 BSPT male seems... wrong for the 1/8 NPT female it has to go into. The hose will be better, because even with the bush, the mass of the sender will be "hanging" off a hard threaded connection and will add some stress/strain to that. It might fail in the future. The hose eliminates almost all such risk - but adds in several more threaded connections to leak from! It really should be tapered, but it looks very long in that photo with no taper visible. If you have it in hand you should be able to see if it tapered or not. There technically is no possibility of a mechanical seal with a parallel male in a parallel female, so it is hard to believe that it is parallel male, but weirder things have happened. Maybe it's meant to seat on some surface when screwed in on the original installation? Anyway, at that thread size, parallel in parallel, with tape and goop, will seal just fine.

      How do you propose I cable tie this: To something securely? Is it really just a case of finding a couple of holes and ziptying it there so it never goes flying or starts dangling around, more or less? Then run a 1/8 BSP Female to [hose adapter of choice?/AN?] and then the opposing fitting at the bush-into-oil-block end? being the hose-into-realistically likely a 1/8 BSPT male) Is this going to provide any real benefit over using a stainless/steel 1/4 to 1/8 BSPT reducing bush? I am making the assumption the OEM sender is BSPT not BSPP/BSP

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      I fashioned a ramp out of a couple of pieces of 140x35 lumber, to get the bumper up slightly, and then one of these is what I use

      I wouldn't worry about dissimilar metal corrosion, should you just buy/make a steel replacement. There will be thread tape and sealant compound between the metals. The few little spots where they touch each other will be deep inside the joint, unable to get wet. And the alloy block is much much larger than a small steel fitting, so there is plenty of "sacrificial" capacity there. Any bush you put in there will be dissimilar anyway. Either steel or brass. Maybe stainless. All of them are different to the other parts in the chain. But what I said above still applies.

      You are all good then, I didn't realise the port was in a part you can (have!) remove. Just pull the broken part out, clean it and the threads should be fine. Yes, the whole point about remote mounting is it takes almost all of the vibration out via the flexible hose. You just need a convenient chassis point and a cable tie or 3.
