I did consider the 20g also, but might not make the 280-300kw I want with a turn flow. And if it did I would need a few more psi. Dori33 and I went to a drift day and he has a 20g and it got super hot. So running slightly less psi will hopefully drop the temps a little.

plus by the time u setup an external gate its going to cost you another 600..

HG turbos are known to be reliable..I know theres alot if drifters down here using them..

The varying results you see are usually to do with setup not the turbo

I'll be going external gate whatever Turbo I go. As it transfers excess heat away from the exhaust wheel and won't create turbulence. That cost has already been covered. Thanks for the input. I may consider a 20g.

Ahh ok..just don't mount the gate on the exhaust manifold..its crap :P

what makes you say its crap?

making claims without any proof, i can say that mounting the gate on the turbo housing is crap too.

just changed over to the anti-surge slot front housing, changes the induction noise completely, sounds pretty good.

feels slightly more responsive in 3rd. going to Jez in 2 wks for touch up tune, hopefully can completely rid of the light surge in 4th and hit 21psi.

Video or ban! :P Fingers crossed for MOAR good things when the higher boost goes through it!!

2 weeks you say eh? I just might have to meet up with you there!!

Hes taking the piss.

yeah i hope so too, otherwise just leave it as is and time to enjoy.

hows your car going?

Still waiting, another week or two i think.... And YES we will have to organise a cruise.... Kando vs Garrett cruise? :P

Vs HKS once Im on E85 as well...

Perfect :thumbsup: Just need to corrupt Dori onto it as well......... Hanaldo will have to come here for that as WA sucks apparently :sick:

    • Oh, forgot to add, A few months ago I was getting mixture codes and the car was using crap loads of fuel. You could smell the unburned fuel in the exhaust, it was crazy strong. Economy was over 17.5 l/100 and usually around 19. I smoked the engine and found a leaky CCV hose which I replaced and then I replaced my two pre cat O2 sensors, I also replaced the MAF. This fixed my mixture codes and improved my exonomy but I'm still 14 - 15 l/100 when pottering about town so something is still amiss. Throttle response is much better and it has more pep but I'd like to know why it's still so thirsty (and I'm hoping that whatever it is gives me a bit more poke).    
    • Car is on factory injectors/z32 maf/ q45 throttle body/ z32 ecu with nistune 
    • Hello all, currently finishing up a rb25 swap into my s14. Having issues with starting, car has spark (confirmed by pulling a plug and watching it spark), has fuel(confirmed by checking pulse/voltage at injectors all spark plugs are soaked in fuel). Car cranks over and pops into the exhaust with a heavy fuel smell but no attempt to start or run, I have torn the timing cover off and triple confirmed timing, turned the CAS in multiple spots both directions, attempted to start with coolant temp and maf unplugged, checked my fuel lines and made sure they weren’t backwards, checked voltage at cas/injectors/coilpacks, made sure all the grounds in the harness are connected and added a few grounding straps (1 from chassis to block, 1 from chassis to head, and 1 from chassis to igniter chip) I am getting stumped here. As a last ditch effort I made a full grounding harness tonight that’s going to run from the battery and add an extra ground from the battery onto the coil pack harness/igniter chip/ intake manifold/ Wiring specialties harness ground/ and alternator. I’m hoping maybe the grounding harness will fix it here but posting here to see if anyone has any other ideas on what else I can check. My fuel pressure is unknown right gauge will be here tomorrow.  IMG_3206.mov
    • yeah I was shocked when I checked my spare OEM on and as below that's how they come from Nissan. (side interesting note new NEO gearbox and replacement park lack the brass bush on the tips and its just all alloy) unsure about damage to the box currently back at 1110 to be pulled down/inspected and selector fork replaced as he built it previously and given the never before seen failure on his billet forks he is replacing it under warranty. He said he has used always OEM the keyway tab without issue for years so it could be an unlucky coincidence. I did talk to him about the sharp corners and stress concentration too. Re: hard shifts i got 7+ years out of the OEM one and the fork itself failed not the keyway. so could be bad luck as I said or an age thing + heat cycles in box and during fabrication of billet?
    • That's some really horrible design with the way it's cut/shaped! Is there much damage to the box that failed in? IE, new fork and you can go again, or is it a total rebuild again? Id be trying to build that piece from scratch, and getting some reliefs added in the corner to hopefully stop breakage, and then swapping boxes ASAP, and then doing the same to the currently good working box. I'm assuming hard shifts have not been friendly to it!
